It's been a while, like more than three weeks, since I posted the last piece. Meanwhile, many people left a lot of encouraging comments on my blog. Thank you sooo much. And so sorry for taking me so long to answer your comments.
I sometimes think, "What do I want to do by posting English articles?" Maybe I'm just trying to make myself understood ONLY in English. There's no Japanese sentences or pictures on my piece. It might be helpful to readers if I put Japanese translation under my English piece... but I don't do it. I'd like to see if my English sentences can convey my feelings or opinions. I'd like to see if readers can feel my personality through my English. So I don't give any hints except English.
When I write English, I can't express myself well and it's so frustrating. English is still a foreign language for me. On the other hand, Japanese is my mother tongue. So I don't have to feel that frustration and I feel I can express my thoughts thoroughly.
But I keep trying to express myself only in English. Because I'd like to get to write & speak English like a native English-speaker.
If you want to improve your English, keep writing, anyway. I have no chance to speak English in my daily life, but If I can write English at natural speed, I'll be able to talk to native speakers naturally, I believe.
Oh, before I forget, if you post your comments in Japanese, I also feel happy. So feel free to leave comments in Japanese. When I read your Japanese comments, I'm so glad to know that you read my piece so carefully and that you understood what I want to say.
As I said above, the chief aim of my blog is to make myself understood in English. Your comments, in English or even in Japanese, teach me the fact that you've read my piece carefully & closely. That's my pleasure. Your comments make me so happy.
Oh, I'm not trying to invite your comments. If you just read my pieces, I feel so happy. Now I can feel someone's reading my blog. So I don't feel lonely. I can feel you anytime, anywhere on my blog.
Thank you for visiting & reading my blog, dear readers.
