Hello! My name is Levi, and I'm a native English speaker born in the United States. I took an interest into learning Japanese when I was recommended a YouTuber named Abroad in Japan. Ever since then, I knew for sure that I wanted to become an English teacher in Japan. I'm infatuated with the culture of Japan, and I want to become a part of it. I also hope to become an English teacher on this website! Since I'm a native speaker, I understand the nuances of the language. Don't be afraid to message me if you want to practice your English! I'm more than happy to do a Language Exchange with a Japanese partner! I'm looking forward to working with you!

    My favorite foods.

    Hi, my name is Fatima and I am from the UAE.  My country is rich because of the huge quantity of food available such as meat, vegetables, fruit, and many kinds of grains. 


    I like to eat all kinds of meat, such as fish, beef, mutton, and chicken.  I also like to eat a variety of vegetables, especially the ones available in the rainy season.  As for fruit, I like them all but my favorite fruit is mango.  In my country, since it's so hot, I like to drink citrus fruit juice.  As for desserts, I like chocolate cake because I used to eat it a lot when I was a child.  I would help my mother bake the cake, and eat small pieces.  It would smell great.  I would slowly eat the cake to savor the flavor and have a glass of soda as well.  Because I helped make it, it would taste better.  The cake is a good option to eat after lunch or dinner.  


    Good journal!  Keep working at your English!  :)

    HOW TO REMOVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

    A day without listening to a Ted Talk is a day not worth living. All right, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but the thing is you get so much value out of those 15-minute-talks that not taking advantage of it would be very silly.


    This morning I listened to Abria Joseph's speech on how to remove negative self-thoughts. We have all experienced those sneaky yet powerful voices in our minds, that tell us we are not good enough, that we should give up something before making ourselves ridiculous. And what we Usually, do is to we believe those voices. Joseph's approach to this issue was very original, he kicks off his presentation by playing a very mystical instrument, called the Hang. The Hang is a bizarre-looking instrument that looks a bit like a spaceship, .  In fact, it was originally imported from outer space,,.   and I've no idea how they got it here. This instrument makes a vibrant and enchanting sound that pulls you in like a rope and drags you into another dimension. The reason why he chooses to start his performance in this way, is to make us aware of the pleasant feelings and sensations we can experience when we are not busy paying attention to our negative thoughts.


    When he first came across this instrument, he was living in the Netherlands and as he heard someone playing in the street he knew he had to get one. and playing it into a yoga class. He had no experience whatsoever with it, and so, he also experienced those had negative thoughts in his head saying "People are going to think you suck.", "Everybody will laugh at you." and so on. He was worried and feared situations that hadn't happened yet.


    Overall, good journal!  You obviously have a good grasp of the English language.  :)

    My tutor said I should write diaries everyday, but the fact is I'm too lazy to write. I don't think my grammar has a big problem but when I speak in English, I make some mistakes come unconsciously, which really disappoints me.
    Today I watched a lot of YouTube clips about Chinese foods which actually I haven't tried. They are very strong flavored but I prefer light flavored cuisine.

    Language School in the Philippines

    Hi. I was lazy enough to fail to post my diary for a long time. It's not that I stopped studying English, but I have tried another studying method. Still, I think I shouldn’t have stop writing diaries. Nothing is stronger than habit.

    I'm now in the Philippines to attend an English language school. I have been here for 3 weeks and I am going to go back Japan this weekend.

    I chose to go to the Philippines because it I wanted to put myself in an environment where no Japanese was spoken. and I had heard that Filipinos are really good at teaching English.  I was surprised at how good of speakers they were their English was. Their pronunciation was so beautiful that I was ashamed of my Japanese accent.

    One of the teachers told me that he didn't learn the grammar, vocabulary, and so on. "Grammar was something you feel, not learn.", said he "And If you want improve your vocabulary, just see Facebook." Of course their grammar was accurate.  He told me that after WW2 ended, Americans liberated the Philippines from Japan, and introduced an American education system. Since the country had long been colonized, it they didn't have their own educational material. There were no textbooks written in their own language. That's why they Because of this, they employed English textbooks for education. They're still using them and they're encouraged to use as much English as possible in class. For this reason, almost all the people of the Philippines are good English speakers.
