To make my dream come true... Hi, I'm a Japanese woman speaking English a little bit and learning Italian. I like to talk with others and know how they think or feel. Today I'm going to tell you about the reason why I've started learning these languages. This February, I went to San Francisco to learn English. This was actually the first time for me to study abroad, and I was just nervous because I was thinking that my English was not well and others may not understand me. Before leaving for the US, I asked my Japanese friend studying in the US college how the life in the US was. Though his English was like that of native speakers, he seemed to had have difficulty especially in communications with American students. He still sounds like American for me, in fact, but he never give up improving his skills. On the first day at a language school in Berkeley, I was quite nervous again. But I came to know that I was worrying about all the things about my school life too much. Teachers were very gentle, and students were very friendly to me. They have warm hearts, so I've loved all the people I met there. I and my friends had lunch every day and went out for a picnic. We chatted after every class. I really miss them all... For the first time in forever, I understood how interesting to talk with others in another language. Now my dream is living in the US, so I need to improve my English skills. Also, I'd like to live in Italy as well. Rome I visited a few years ago is pretty beautiful and attractive city. I really love Italian gourmets like pizza and pasta. Every time seeing a program about Italy on TV, it reminds me of the days in Rome and makes me happy. These are the reasons that I've decided to learn English and Italian. Though my English is at intermediate level and that of Italian is at beginner level, I'd like to speak them fluently and make my dream come true, so I need someone teaching me English and Italian. I like to teach you Japanese, especially daily and business conversation in return. Any levels of Japanese learners will be welcomed:D If you've got some interest, feel free to contact me and let's have chatting! Thanks for reading.

Victoria & Albert museum In February I was in Wimbledon. Of course I went to Britain to learn British accent, but it was almost just sightseeing because I was not going to go any language school. There was nothing for me to do in London, so I could see a lot of pictures and sculptures in various museums instead. The most exciting museum was Victoria & Albert museum, especially jewelries were amazing. I wish I could have bring one of them to Japan!

Yabusame Yabusame is a traditional Japanese event. A man in traditional dresses shoots an arrow on a horse to some targets. This event was held in Kamakura, which is the historical city like Kyoto, and I could see it by chance last week. Most people there got excited and applauded to the riders. Instead of waiting over one hour to see it, you can see amazing thing! Japanese or not, you should come and see it if you have a chance!

Please tell me the difference. Two days ago, I wrote my notebook about films in English and a man provided me with the corrections. In my notebook, I said "important for me", but it was wrong and he corrected it to "important to me." I don't understand the difference between "for" and "to" and sometimes I make mistakes in my writing. What is the difference? How do you say each word?

Letters To Juliette/THE KIDS ARE ALLRIGHT Today I watched 2 films in a theatre where we can watch films which are not on screening. The titles of the movies are Letters To Juliette and THE KIDS ARE ALLRIGHT, one is romantic story and the other is like comedy, and both of them were really awesome! I learned how important to believe each other, to be honest, to respect each other from the films. You know, sometimes we can not be honest and hurt others' feelings, and later regret what we did though we did not mean to do so. But even though we regret that and feel so sorry about that, we can not still say "I'm sorry" . There is a clear difference between what we understand and what we can do. From now on, I try to be honest in order not to lose something important for me. Thank you for reading. I hope your kind support and corrections.
