Beginning!

It is my fist appearance on “Scarlet’s Lazy Life”. I’m not sure how it goes and how I start it, but I try.

So, why did I decide to write this blog in English?

Because, it seemed interesting to me :wink:

Actually, I’ve been trying to brush up my English skills for these few yeas. A part of it was for my business, but other part of it was for making my life more enjoyable.

I like reading books, especially mystery and fantasy, written in English originally. Of course there is Japanese version in Japan, but I must wait them for a long time after the original one released, and, sometimes I felt some kind of incompatibility when I read them.  It was the biggest reason.

For another reason, I also like watching movies. There were the same kinds of incompatibility when I watched a movie with Japanese subtitle.  I wanted to know what they said in the movie more in detail.

The 3rd, I had a chance to go to New York City 2 years ago. At that time, I had very nice days there, but I thought it might be more enjoyable if I was able to speak English more.

Now, I’ve been listening 2 ESL podcasts and try to read some English books using English-English dictionary.

It means I got the way of studying 2 skills, reading and listening.

Then, it’s time to find the way for witting!

Here it is :wink:

I hope anyone coming here will tell me their opinion, especially about my mistakes.

I also hope that I could be a friend of you.

All the best,

Scarlet

    Hi Scarlet! Learning a second language is always hard. Like you, English isn’t my native tongue either so I understand how you’re feeling. I’ll see if I can be of any service to you in your journey to mastering the English language. Good luck on your studies!!
