last working day Today was the last working day,so I was in good spirits all day. Because of it,we had a small party in our office. In the party,there was a person who helped me with my project. He was from another company and left our office as of today because our contract has expired. He has been engaged in different works at many companies. He is a CG designer,he said there were many people who were on high levels outside my company and that I shouldn't compare myself with someone else only in my company. So now,I begin thinking that I might have to take account of working at other companies to improve my career. But a rash decision of resignation may be risky...I'm on the fence.... By the way,the game I used to be involved in is starting service just now. The name of it is "Gundam online",which is an online TPS where more than a hundred people can play and fight.

I was just amazed at an online dictionary nowadays. When I was surfing on Internet, I was amazed at a browser extension of an online dictionary which can read English sentences aloud. It reads texts you select,I felt it sounded very natural pronunciation to listen to. Absolutely,this essay which I am writing now can be read aloud. I'm not sure if these sentences are good or bad ,but very interesting. This is Google chrome's extension. Although I think Japanese will never see this note,just in case,I put URL to it. The usage is just to select sentences and right-click "pronounce this English". These functions can be used on the site "weblio". https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/weblio%E3%83%9D%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E3%82%A2%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E8%8B%B1%E5%92%8C%E8%BE%9E%E5%85%B8/oingodpdjohhkelnginmkagmkbplgema I'm feeling that there have been more ways to learn English, and environments for learning it are more and more improving than before. But for some tools for learning or people who created them,I would have more hard times when learning. anyways I'm thankful to them :D

How can I say Omiai in English? I'm going to go for a drink with my colleagues,including my previous boss who is a Korean. He went back to Korean early this year. He is a generous person and such a fluent japanese speaker that I'd sometimes forget that he was from Korean. He told me he had got as many as 15 "Omiai" before and finally he had got married. How can I say "Omiai" in English? "Omiai" is like that someone is introduced to a lady by his parents or other relatives.

Japanese reality TV show Hello.I'm cancan:) I've been studying English about a year. English grammer is difficult but very interesting to me. Today,I received the message from one of the members in Italki that he wants me to introduce some Japanese TV shows to him. I haven't been able to see many japanese shows recently. but I remember we have the one which is good to learn Japanese. "Ainori" was the show which aired on TV a few years ago. This was a reality show or a so-called dating game show, where seven ordinaly young people traveled around the world together by wagon. people talk to each other and decide to a person they want to propose to. This show had japanese subtitles of each person's dialogs,so It may be useful to learn natural Japanese. You can find it in youtube. And now,"Ainori2" is airing online at Gyao.jp .you can watch this for free. :) possibly.. If you want to see this,you need to register at Gyao.jp. http://gyao.yahoo.co.jp/p/00560/v12218/
