Hello folks, Any recommendations for sitcoms? I have saw The Office,  Mind your language and Couples, though they are a bit older, but they really brought some joy to me and are helpful for my English learning. Plus, I got to learn a different culture and it constantly gives me refreshing viewpoints on things.

For the creative language learner who would like to discover how humanistic psychology can help you learn a language.

What do you struggle with the most in regards to speaking American English with native English speakers? Is it coming up with words to say? It's pronouncing them clearly so your listener can fully understand? Is it saying enough so you don't sound limited or be able to give enough variety in your responses so you don't sound repetitive? Is it phrasal verbs? Do you use them? Do you understand them? Do you know how many there are? What about your confidence? Do you second guess yourself when you speak English? Do you have a lot of 'ums' and 'uhs' when you speak American English? Do you repeat words and phrases? Do you have long pauses in between your words and phrases? Do you translate in your head before you say it? Do you depend on translating? Do you say the bare minimum which is only the few things you know how to say but if someone asks you to 'say more.' you'd have difficulty? Are you not really sure where you struggle? Maybe you think it's a lack of vocabulary but really it's not. Maybe you think it's sentence structure but maybe in reality it's really not. Have you ever had someone from the United States... a tutor or teacher really judge your speaking and give you feedback?

My university classes started this week. It’s hard for me to wake up early now because I always slept until noon during the summer vacation. But I am really happy to see my friends every day. We always talk a lot and eat lunch together, so going to school is super fun. This semester, I have many English classes. Sometimes the classes are difficult, but I want to do my best to improve my English skills. I also started to think seriously about studying abroad. I really want to go to another country and learn many new things. So, I decided to study for the TOEIC test. Every day, I try to read English books and watch English videos. It is not easy, but I will work hard and enjoy my school life at the same time. I hope I can achieve my goals this semester.

Difference between because and that’s why Because = gives the reason. That’s why = gives the result. Examples: I’m late because the bus was slow. The bus was slow. That’s why I’m late. She is happy because she got a new job. She got a new job. That’s why she is happy. We stayed home because it was raining. It was raining. That’s why we stayed home. Tip: Use because inside one sentence. Use that’s why to join two sentences.

I went to Busan from September 18th to 21st. I went to there with my friend and my Korean teacher. We went to many historical and political places. For example, Japanese Consulate, and Gyeongju. By the way, about the foods. I’ve always wanted to eat Kyochon Chicken’s “Honeycomb chicken”. Finally, I was able to eat it! I love the taste and texture. I ate Samgyeopsal, Chapagetti, and Tangsuyuk too. Every Korean foods were so great. But I felt I’m Japanese by nature. I love sushi, miso soups, tempura, and so on. I’m interested in many foreign countries, but I will come back Japan in the end.
