There are things happening that I cannot blog about. <BR/><BR/>I really want to speak Japanese better. Actually, I have to speak Japanese better. I will take your advice about learning Japanese. Your ideas sound very good. <BR/><BR/>I will try to show people that I care about them a little better. It is just hard for me to express those type of things.Jon Doehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479476856726492224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877328304025412508.post-7386191400029527142009-02-19T09:01:00.000+09:002009-02-19T09:01:00.000+09:00Hey - I get a royal heaping of melancholy off of t...Hey - I get a royal heaping of melancholy off of this post, man. I hope things are ok with you. Here's my take.<BR/><BR/>Japanese - Practice makes perfect. Classes don't necessarily. If your student is willing to teach you, then I'd suggest trying a simple conversation practice with her. Pick a topic, try to get a few sentences out. Make friends other than her, and repeat the process. The weirder / funnier the conversation, the more likely you are to remember how you expressed yourself. I've had conversations about reruns on TV, lack of insulation in Japanese home, good and bad points about air conditioning, why people get wigs, etc. Class is great for grammar, but practice is king for speaking. Also, you could try to find someone on eduFire or Lang-8 to further your studies, too.<BR/><BR/>Caring about people (rather, showing that you care about people) - I say go for it, and stop beating yourself up. If you want to make a change, try. If you fail, try again. It'll happen as long as you still want it enough to continue trying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
