Today's study report

・ELSA SPEAK
・hello talk
・Anki

I practiced how to pronounce ɑ,æ,ʌ sounds on ELSA app. Especially ɑ sound was hard to understand how to pronounce it.

I posted a moment about my son's letter written by his friend on hello talk app this morning. And I talked with my hello talk friends on the app. I have a few hello talk friends. They gave me corrections of the moment.

I've been using Anki, a flash card app, recently. This app can customize in many ways, but I can't still use it in effective way.

・ELSA SPEAK 11Lessons about i and ɪ sounds

An ɪ sound is hard to pronounce😅
But, I believe practicing it many times makes my pronunciation better.

I'll try to pronounce today, too.

It will be cold after winter has come. → My kids will not be able to play outside. → They will be frustrated with that. → I will be frustrated with seeing them.

I see this circulation. 😥

ハロートークというアプリで英語と日本語で会話してます。
だけど、なんというか、会話を拡げる意思が感じられなかったりします。会話したくないのかな??受け身な姿勢では、何も生まれないと思うのだけど。

I talk with some English speakers in Japanese and English.
Sometimes I can't feel a person's will that she wants to talk more. I wonder if she wants to talk with me...? I want her to be active.

・ELSA SPEAK
I completed some lessons about pronunciation of a TH sound.

...That's all!

🐱Today's study report🐱

・ELSA SPEAK
I practiced how to pronounce TH sound. 9 lessons.

・talk on hello talk
We talked about keyboards on phones and a function which can change hirgana into kanji.

Japanese has a lot of kanji that can read in the same way and computers haven't had the function easily yet. We have to select appropriate kanji from the list of some kanji.

I read English lyrics today.
I'm not familiar with English songs.
But I have listened to Avril Lavigne's songs before. So, I read "Complicated", one of her popular songs.

I also read a website which has explanation about her songs in Japanese.

・ELSA SPEAK :more than 30 minutes
・talk with English native speaker learning Japanese by text on hello talk app

This app, ELSA SPEAK, can judge my English pronunciation and advise me how to pronounce.It's very helpful.😊

私の英語発音、フォローしきれないほどひどいらしい。これでは音読しても悪化する一方で意味無いかも😰
えるさELSA SPEAKアプリで地道に発音練習することにします。

ハロートークでボイスルームという外国語などで会話出来るサービスがあります。

今日そこに参加したんですが、上手く話せませんでした。。😣

でも、気づいたんです。文字でやりとりした英語は、スムーズに話せたんです。

話す練習の前に英語を組み立てる練習が必要なんだ、と気づけたと思います。

話すのと書くのとでは別の技能と思われがちだけどちゃんとつながってた。それがわかったのが収穫でした😊

There is a service called "voice room", which we can talk in some foreign languages in hello talk app. I took part in the voice room, but I couldn't speak well.

Yet, I realized an important thing. I was able to speak the English I have used before smoothly.

It seems that I need to practice asembling English words.▶

I often drink hot milk when I get stressed.
The hot drink makes me relaxed.

I also listen to music, especially Jpop.
I often listen to aiko's songs.
Her songs encourage me.

When I was a university student, I went to her concerts.
I was in Nagoya, so I could go to her concerts easily.

Now I'm not in a big city and I have two children, so it's difficult to go there.

I posted this on hellotalk app the other day.

日本語から英語に直す時、5歳児にもわかるような日本語に直してから伝える!とよく言われるけど、それが一番難しい…

4歳息子に伝えるの結構苦労する😅

I posted this on helltalk app yesterday.⬇

I love SHIAWASE, a song made by aiko, who is a singer-song writer.

I'll try to translate the lyrics into English a little bit.

隣で眠ってるあなたの口が開く そして笑った

You are opening your mouth sleeping next to me and you have just smiled.

どんな夢見てるの?気になる…

What dream are you having? I'm caring about it...

出来ればあたしが出てきたらいいのに

If possible, I could have been in your dream.
...

My favorite love song❤

少しその歌詞を英語に訳したいと思います。
