I had to make a presentation in English the other day. Thanks to you guys, it went very well.
Well, now I want to write about my English skills. I guess you might think I'm going to write something negative as always, but I'm not. www It's been six months since I started using Lang-8. (Time flies fast. Yes it does.) Since my English skills weren't so good in the beginning, they have improved a lot. Yey!
I read some entries Japanese people wrote. They said their English skills hadn't improved. IMO, their English will get better soon because at least they seem to be motivated. Sometimes I wonder what their motivation is. I really want to know. I know of some Japanese housewives on Lang-8 and I don't think they need English. How is it possible for them to keep motivated? Sometimes even I lose my motivation. In addition, it seems like they have their kids learn English too. Some Japanese women, housewives, want their kids to take over their dreams. For example, if they wanted to be actresses, they want their kids to be actors or actresses. If they wanted to get into a famous university, they want their kids to do it. Now I'm off the subject.
I like studying English very much for some reason, so when I see people correct my entries I feel I learn something and that makes me super happy. Anyway, I wonder what would be good for improving my English skills, especially pronunciation. Practice makes perfect, perhaps? Something like Skype?
