I started self-learning Japanese while I was in the US Navy. During deployments there was a lot of down time, so I wanted to pick up a language. While in the Navy I met my wife when she was studying English and I was studying Japanese. We have been married for over 15 years and have a daughter. My wife's family lives in Kitakyushuu, and we try to visit every 2 - 3 years. My daughter speaks fluent Japanese and English, so I am very envious of her.

    JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON July 2nd

    I would like someone to correct my diary entry (or tell me the more natural way of saying things. But I would be glad even if you JUST CORRECT my entry) I am wondering if you could do that for me, please?

    JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON July 2nd

    About two days ago, I went to the mall that has a theater with huge screen to watch a movie. The movie was the new Spider-man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So I am thinking that it may be hard for people who have seen only the Spider-man movies directed by Sam Reimi to understand. The Marvel Cinematic Universe contains continuous stories spread across many movies. So when someone who only saw Sam Reimi’s Spider-man movies says, "I can't to wait to see it! It will be definitely exciting", they may say "I didn’t understand it at all..." after watching this one. Yeah you know, I am just imagining that situation now, but I don't think it is easy to understand the bigger story lines of MCU without watching all of the movies by any of stretch imagination. Okay, (from this point on I am writing a little bit of spoiler information, so watch out) This Spider-man movie has a lot of good points, the biggest being the actor "Jake Gyllenhaal" staring in it. Yes, of course I know that he is good at acting as a person with psychopath thinking. In Night crawler, he was amazing, and in this movie he doesn’t disappoint. I’ve watched this movie twice, but I am dying to watch the movie again.

    朝は早くです。 私は今眠いんです。今朝は午前４：３０に運動をしてら、日本語を勉強しまた。会社を行くの前なら、帰りはゲームをします。多板、明日の朝に起きにくいでしょう。私は今ベッドが欲しいです。 --------- Right now I am sleepy. This morning at 4:00 I exercised and then studied Japanese. If I do it before going to work, I can play games when I return home. It will probably be hard to wake up tomorrow. I want my bed now.

    福岡の無線局 毎日、イントネートで日本のラジオを聞いている。聞っているの無線局は福岡の「FM Yame」です。この無線局は優しの日本語がたくさんあります。朝ごはんを食べる前に聞く。無線局は安い日本語の教員ようなです。毎日に聞ければ日本語に耳を慣らす。一緒に聞こか。 ーーーーーーー Everyday I listen to a Japanese radio station via the internet. The station I listen to is Fukoka's FM Yame. This radio station has lots of easy Japanese. I listen to it before eating my breakfast. This radio station is like an inexpensive Japanese language instructor. If I listen to it everyday, I will be more accustom to listening and understanding spoken Japanese. Let's listen together.

    日本語を勉強 時々、私にもっと日本語を勉強したらどうですかと思います。ゲームをしている前に、勉強ゲームをしている前に、勉強しなければなりません。私がたくさんの日本語を勉強するの本があります。ゲームをする前に、３０分しか勉強しなない。家に帰りの時、文法を集めておきます。 ーーーーーー Sometimes I think I should study Japanese More. Before I play video games, I can study. I have a lot of Japanese language studying books. Before playing a game, I can study for only 30 minutes. When I am returning home, I can gather the Japanese grammar.
