英語をマスターしたい！
そう思い立ってから、約４年・・・、
いやそろそろ５年かな。
どんなに壁にぶつかっても、
どんなに忙しくても、
日本にいても、海外にいても
ほぼ毎日、
英語学習を継続してきました。
もちろん、今も何かしら
毎日毎日
英語の勉強です・・・
これってスゴイことだなぁ～、って、
自分で自分を褒めてあげています
４年といったら、１４６０日
うーん、やっぱりすごいゾ、自分
そんな日々継続の努力は、英語スキルだけじゃなく
大切な大切な友人を用意してくれました。
初心者マークの時から
ずーっと私を支えてくれているチューターが
私について書いてくれていました
なにやら、
こっ恥ずかしいやら、照れるやら・・
間違いなく言えることは、
彼女の前ではいつも私は私で有り続けているということ。
飾らない自分。これからもずっと大切にしていきたいな・・・。
There are many things I wanted as a kid. One of which was having a sister. I kept nagging my mom to give me a baby sister. She said, and I quote “giving you a sister is not the same as buying you a toy so NO!” Then my brother brought home a puppy which he asked from a neighbor. Since then, my demands for a baby sister had forgotten.
Years after, I met Chika. She is like an Ate I never had. I knew her through an English online class. We got along the instant we talked. She is so bubbly and modest. Her name Chika suits her well. I admire a lot of things about her. I wanted to be like her (as I’ve told her a hundred times) strong, witty, elegant, beautiful etc.
About a month ago, I finally met her in person the first time. She stayed in our house for 2 days. I had a lot of fun talking with her and sharing things, as we always did online. We went around my home province and showed her the famous sightseeing places. She taught me how to cook okonomiyaki which I find not difficult to do. Two days seems too short together.
I hope we can still see each other someday and that time in Japan. Although, we still talk a lot online but seeing in person is a whole new level. ‘Till next time!!
this is us saying goodbye at the resort…
この人生に深く感謝。
ありがとう
