I found many Nao here! My name is Naoko, I live in Japan. My hobby is to make potteries like cups and dishes, I enjoy using them at home. My husband's hobby is to make iron works like frying pans, "chagama" which is used for Sado or tea ceremonies. We enjoy visiting art museums in Tokyo or Saitama on weekends with daughters. I'd like to have chances to think and talk in English frequently to improve my English!

    How can I say " 鋳金工芸研究会” in English? Which is natural to express this ? Or tell me exact translation, please. "the casting metal arts & crafts research society" "the society of reserch on casting metal" This is a group of people who are interested in casting metals, they are learning how to make them and trying many ways.Thank you Eli for your answer. I noticed that we have long name for societies or associations in Japanese because it sounds better but in English, names are much simple and easy to understand.

    がんばれっつごー

    がんばれっつごーって、
    合い言葉ですね？
    かわいい！♪

    今日は新しいことを考え出しました〜
    我慢してるときは大事です！

    最近、いろいろな理由があって、
    甘いもの食べなくなりました。。。
    本当に想像している以上に辛いです〜
    いつもポッキーが大好きの私、
    ”止めようかな〜”と思いました。

    昨日たくさんのポッキーを買って、
    食べ放題。。。
    でも、なんかね、
    食べれば食べるほどおいしくなくなりました。

    そうなんだ！
    我慢してるときは大事なの！！

    我慢した後の甘いものは何よりも美味しい〜
    それに、勉強後の遊びはいつもの100倍は楽しい！




    すばらしい！誘惑に弱い私はすぐ言い訳して食べちゃいます。逆に、気持ち悪くなるくらい食べれば、もうしないかも。私は極細ポッキーを冷たく冷やしてポキポキ食べるのが好きです。

    初めの書き物

    昨日は僕の二十七目誕生日だった。日本語をつとめて勉強することにした。大学で日本語と言語学を学んだが、今まで少し忘れてしまった。日本人だって、英語を勉強するなら、お互いに助けよう。特に、聞き取りの練習のほうがいいだろう。外国語で話すのと聞くのは一番難しいことだ。でも、頑張ろう！



    Happy birthday, Daniel!  Thank you for correctiong my notebook. I knew there were many good Manga stories but I couldn't choose ones because of poor information.  Though we can't open books at stores,  we can make sure which books we are interested in at rental shops. And I'm getting to have enough time for myself at night while my daughters are sleeping!  日本語や日本のことに関心を持ってくれるのはとても嬉しいです。応援しています！

    Nao's notebook entry: May 12, 2010 Hi, I'm Naoko. I have two daughters, age of 7 and 5. Recently, my husband I enjoy reading rental manga on weekends(just 80 yen for a week), I've never read manga for years since I was a teenager! "Kamino shizuku", " 20 seiki shounen" "hyougemono" were interesting. I like "Gaku ~minna no yama~" , I'm planning to visit Kamikouchi and go camping to smewhere this summer! Tell me about your camping or climbing story.

    I think he's now trying to improve his writing ability, just wants you to correct his sentences or expression now. As he says, he'd like to keep e-mailing with you, why don't you help him to exchange journals for a while? You'll come to know his daily life more and may find his hidden personality!

    We use HAKU for pants,socks and boots putting on legs or feet. On the other hand, KIRU is used for jackets, shirts and kimono which have sleeves. KABURU is the verb for caps and hats. People from Northern part of Japan including me use HAKU for globs also. This is a kind of dialect.
