    Good morning everyone! In Japan, where I live, I feel that the state of emergency will be extended until the end of June. The state of emergency affects our lives, such as shopping malls and restaurants. Due to the state of emergency, universities are now taking online classes and the number of part-time jobs is decreasing. Does the coronavirus affect your part-time job in your area? Also, please tell me how to raise motivation when doing tasks alone! I want you to make corrections and comments on my journal. Thank you.

    Lo más importante que he aprendido de videojuegos es que perder no es malo. En cada videojuego hay oportunidades de tener éxito y por supuesto es una cosa buena, pero también hay muchas experiencias de fallar. Tienes que probarlo otra vez, o muchas veces. En la vida es importante no abandonar cosas difíciles, y probarlo muchas veces.

    I would call that a campsite, sometimes you have to bring your own tent/equipment but sometimes you can rent a cabin. If the main purpose is to rent outdoor equipment then maybe “recreation center” is better. Holiday resort sounds like a full service place on a tropical island.

    People these days are so much luckier than those who lived in the past. They weren’t able to pick their marriage partner and were forced to accept the ruler's orders. Their feelings were forced. They weren’t liberated. We are freer. I don’t think we should entrust our feelings to just anybody. We should be able to pick what is the best for us. A mutual and promising relationship and happiness, not an abusive one.

    When I was at university, I liked to listen to English songs. I was a fan of some European and American bands, such as the Backstreet Boys, Michael Learns to Rock, Westlife and Blue. Their music is fantastic. In addition, every band member was handsome. Now most of them have broken up. But their songs are still popular.

    In my experience they are more interchangeable when talking about abstract points. It’s clear when you discuss “this book on that table” but it’s harder to distinguish “these ideas” from “those ideas”. At least in English, it seems like “this/these” is used for the current topic or whatever you are talking about. “That/these” has a bit of psychological distance from you and can reinforce the speaker’s tone or nuance. “This is my proposal,” said at the beginning of a meeting, vs. “That’s not what I said” after someone misunderstands you. I wonder if Spanish uses estos/estas etc in a similar way when talking about abstract things?

    I read a book translated from English to Japanese, and I could tell it was not originally Japanese. The kinds of things described, how the characters talked, and some of the phrasing, you could kind of see through to the original language, if you know what I mean. And often when I read books about Japan that were written in English, I notice phrases that would be very difficult to translate into Japanese! I wonder if it is harder to tell with languages that are more similar. My Spanish isn’t good enough to detect those nuances yet.
