Hi, I live in Tokyo, Japan. I do a job for exporting machines at Japanese manufacture company. I usually write English on business but am not good at speaking English. My dream is going on a business trip overseas and communicating in English without getting nervous. Last month, the system staff from UK came to our company to teach us, because it put the new system into place. Even if I wanted to ask her a lot, English didn't come out of my mouth. I was very frustrated. So I decided to use English on a daily basis. I like singing, listening to music and watching TV drama/movie. My favorite singers are Bruno Mars, Pentatonix, and fifth harmony, and I also like 70's like Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway and the Carpenters. Musical is one of my favorite genre. I listen to Rent , Le Miserable and Glee soundtrack. I like Japanese music of course. I usually watch TV drama/movie by Netflix. my current favorite shows is "Get down" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" That's all. I am happy to help me improve my English skill.

    April 9th. I went a park to see cherry blossoms with my husband. Cherry blossoms were blooming from last week here in Tokyo. But last weekends it was too cold to go seeing it. This Saturday and Sunday were rainy and windy. But we wanted to see it today,so after stopping rain, went to a park. Although it was dark around there and some of blossoms were falling with rain and wind we enjoyed them. I heard there were a lot of foreign tourists in famous park like the imperial palace park.

    Apr. 8th. I like singing. When I was a child, I was a member of chorus group which TV station had. My mother asked me if I want to had an audition for it. It was because I like music. I said to her "Yes" of course. After passing the audition, I had many opportunities to sing in front of audiences. These experiences made me feel confident by myself, and good memories. Now I have taken voice training. It is for not classical but American pop or musical. I rather pop music than classical one. My teacher told me to open my soft palate over and over again. I was surprised because I'd never been taught to do that. But when I opened my soft palate, it was easy to sing. Besides my English pronunciation became better. I definitely found out English native speakers and Japanese are different how to use their mouth when they speak each own languages.

    Apr. 7th I have taken English lessons once a week for 6 months. My teacher is a Japanese woman who had lived in Canada, and took TESOL. She has over 10 year experience as a English teacher. She lives in Japan now. But it is far from my house, we communicate together by Skype. The most fantastic thing of her lesson is repeating sentences I learnt. For example,she taught me how to use "you'd better going, you'll be late" at a lesson. And then I had to memorize this sentence by sound material she sent me. At next lesson she did a test I can use this sentence. This sentence appears at her lessons many times. So I became to use it naturally. Recently I memorized many sentences. I am happy to understand some sentences when I watched TV dramas and movies in English. Her lesson motivated me to use English.

    April 6th I usually take trains to commute to my office. There are a lot of people in a train. Some of them are students in an international elementary school They are chatting with friends in English. I sometimes listen carefully to their conversations because I want to learn English:p All of them are carrying bag packs on their shoulders. Its look so heavy. Its maybe bigger than junior students. I wonder what are the bags inside. Anyway it gets increasing international schools in Japan. And recently Japanese public elementary schools start to have English classes once a week. It is clear Japanese government strengthen children's English skills.

    Spring has come It is already April. Time goes fast, right? From April, a lot of thing are beginning here in Japan. New students enter in schools and new employees join in companies. Our devision has two new people from this month. It is international business development devision. We export our product overseas. One is new employee who had studied in Ireland for a several years. He are energetic. But he doesn't know about trading work. So his mentor began to teach him our work. The other one who was overseas worker. She had worked in USA branch for a year.

    昨日の一日

    昨日、主人の妹の結婚式でした。朝早く起きて、朝ごはんを少し食べて行きました。
    途中、電車で気持ちor気分が悪くなりました。・・いつも電車を乗るとき、気持ちor気分が悪くなります。
    夫の妹は一番綺麗な女だと思います。ウェッヂングドレスは美しかったです。
    客はあまり多くなかったです。
    結婚式の日、初めて着物を着ました。外国人にとってはとても違和感があります。
    昨日、それを自分で体験しました。着物は綺麗なのに、二度と着たくないと思いました。:)
    着物は着ていると、とても暑いし、呼吸はとても苦しいから、めまいがします。
    それでも、結婚式はきらびやかで、楽しかったです。
    料理が色々ありました。ウェッヂングケーキがとても大きくて、美味しかったです。
    お酒も色々ありました。
    ウクライナの結婚式は日本のものより随分違います。
    もう一度、主人の妹、結婚式おめでとう！:)

    Fortune telling My friend lent me a book of fortune-telling. It tells that my fortune of this year is the worst in 30 years. Kazuko Hosoki(a Japaneses famous fortune-teller) tells the same thing as that book. But I am happy to get a lot of chances to learn about new things this year. I look forward to next year because both of the books predict that it will be the best year for me!!
