You can find "Manga Times " at convience stores rather than at book shops.
Please get one sometimes!

Listen!
What's up?
I'm really happy, because this weekend, I went to the Fuchu- Kyodo- no- Mori Park. The park is famous for beautiful hydrangeas in this season. I really enjoyed seeing them!

How are you doing?

Not bad, but I get a little itchy on my hands, legs, my back and my belly. I am not sure what the cause it is.
I don't feel like going to see the doctor, so I use some essential oil such as lavender oil to stop the sensation of itcy. There are some bottles of lavender oil at home. This oil is really useful when I get burned on my hand or I get bitten by mosquitoes.
 In summer, I always get bitten by them, so I buy a few bottles of lavender oil before summer begins.

It isn't too itchy for me to sleep.

Online lesson 10

This is my 10th online lesson!
Today's members are 4 (three guys and myself).
I have been only a woman in this class more than one month.

Today's topic: What dream do you have?

I want to speak three foreign languages fluently; English, french and Chinese.
Am I a language nerd? Yes, I am!

Actually, I have a friend who is also a language nerd. He can speak french, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and two more languages. When he was a child, he lived near the border between France and Spain, so he learned both of the two languages. He has studied Japanese at Tokyo Foreign Language College for years, so his Japanese is really fluent just like a native Japanese. How amazing! I want to speak three foreign languages fluently just like him.

I have been learning french for four years. I think that french is more difficult than English. Especially, it is really hard for me to master french verbs, because they mostly change!
