I'm Catherine - I live in Bristol, England, and teach English Literature here. I've been learning Japanese since 2013, and managed to get to Japan for the first time in April 2015 - it was marvellous! Now I'm saving up to go back, but I want my Japanese to be better next time. よろしくお願いします！

    a joke

    One day,Tom came home after cutting his hair [or "having a haircut" if someone else did it], and saw his son Jimmy playing in the yard.So, he wanted to see if Jimmy could recognize his daddy .Tom came to his son and said: "Hey, boy! Is this Tom's house?"Jimmy stared at Tom' s face for a moment and ran back into the house.Tom stood outside, hearing his son speak to his wife loudly: "Mum, Daddy couldn't recognize his own house after cutting his hair."

    My new job

    I started working as a clerk at a hotel last month. My job is to clean guest rooms and to serve meals to guests at a restaurant in the hotel. I work as a part-timer, twice or three times a week. I prefer being a room clerk to a waitress because I don't need to see guests while I am cleaning guests rooms. I have to work at the restaurant next month too. I am worried that I will spill food or drinks on guests.
    I try to enjoy working at the hotel.

    different pronounciation makes me confusing

    Hi, Today I would like to write about one of my problems with making conversation in English.

    Although I'm studying on an MA course and worked at a game company before entering the school, I still feel I cannot catch the words that native speakers use when chatting.

    I guess the reason why I feel that is that I always learn English with proper ways (e.g. using textbooks and going to school). My English lacks knowledge of slang and spoken words in casual situations.

    Another reason is that Japanese education is based on American English. For me, British women's voices are quite hard to hear because they speak faster and their accent is different from I learnt.
    I can understand BBC announcers, but in the case of normal chatting, my understanding is horrible!
    By contrast, I feel older British people and male voices are easy to catch. 

    Of course Japanese accent is another big problem to learn accent of British English (It's far different and I only used Japanese just 2 years ago!)

    I hope I can solve the issues during I stay in the UK :<
