One way to improve our language skills is by expressing our thoughts in the target language. For that reason, I have prepared an English conversation class “Express Yourself through A Conversation”. Please feel free to check that lesson here: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/24647106/english
I have a lot of interesting topics to talk about. But of course, you are welcome to bring up your own topic.

In this episode, I want to show you one example of the discussion topic. It’s about my imaginary city, Subara City 素晴市 （スバラしsu ba ra shi）.   The name is derived from 素晴らしい（すばらしい）and 都市（とし）.   素晴らしい means “wonderful”, “magnificent”.    市 means “city” and when placed at the end of a word can be pronounced as “shi”し.   So here I name my imaginary city 素晴市（スバラしsu ba ra shi）or “Subara City”.  In this episode, I’m introducing English lessons, not Japanese. I just want to let you know how I made up the name.

The theme of the story is that you have just been elected to the council for Subara City. You have 6 billion Yen in your budget. What can you do? Listen through. Below here is a simple worksheet to give you more ideas.

Hoggy Went -A- Courtin'

📘 오늘의 일기

오늘은 아침에 일찍 일어났습니다. 일어나서 따뜻한 차를 마셨습니다. 기분이 아주 좋았습니다.
그다음에 집 근처 공원을 걸었습니다. 날씨가 조금 추웠지만 하늘이 맑아서 좋았습니다.

점심에는 친구를 만났습니다. 친구와 같이 한국 음식을 먹었습니다. 저는 비빔밥을 먹었고 친구는 김치찌개를 먹었습니다. 음식이 아주 맛있었습니다.

저녁에는 집에서 한국어를 공부했습니다. 새로운 단어를 외우고 짧은 문장을 연습했습니다. 공부는 조금 어려웠지만 재미있었습니다.
오늘 하루는 조용하고 행복한 날이었습니다.
