19/Jan/2014 Hi, what are you up to? I have been very busy studying and working in a day. For friends who sent me messages, I am so sorry for late reply. But I am still enthusiastic about learning, so I appreciate it if we have chance to chat and skype to improving our language skills :) Also, I would like you all to correct what I write or say whenever I make mistakes. I am not afraid of making mistakes and always trying new expressions. Thank you very much for that. During over last few weeks, I noticed that education and learning are very different. I started language school to take certificate, which I think will help me get a better job in Japan in the future, but the classes are so boring. Teachers are always explaining something and what we do is to take pens and write something down on the books. There is no chance to talk with other students. On the other hand, while speaking with native speakers through my work place or skype, I can try everything I want to learn without any fear. Now I think that, to be a good speaker, I have to talk with more and more native speakers, again and again. There are still many things I have to do. Thank you very much for reading and please correct some if any.

2/1/2014(2) One more important thing to write here! I forgot when it was but I had the first skype conversation with my friend I met through this website. Now we are good friends and enjoy talking when we are free! Its a lot of fun and good English lesson. Why not?

2/1/2014 Hi everyone. A bit long time no see because I have been sick these days and stayed at the hospital. If some of you received a late reply from me, Im so sorry for that. On 24 Dec, I got a sore throat and on the next day fever appeared. Then I took a day off from my job and saw a doctor, but he only said it was just a sickness and gave me some medicine. I had kept taking it in proper quantity and proper frequency. Days later I didnt get better and decided to see another doctor in bigger hospital. This time he said I needed a more investigation and sent me to another hospital. Finally it was a bad tonsillitis and after a couples of night I was able to get out of the hospital. I was going to go to Sydney for new year but I couldnt do nothing but give up it. It was the worst jumping into the new year! Now Im a bit better enough to type here. Be careful everyone, too. Thank you.

23 Dec 2013 Hi everyone. We lost the soccer game yesterday and I was so tired that I got up now (around noon). Today Im going to to meet native friends and train myself to get better. But Id like to have more chances to talk with people speaking English. If you wanna talk to me a native Japanese speaker, feel free to get contact with me. I like learning English and teaching you what I have, Japanese!

22 Dec 2013 Hi, this is Moto. Its 13:32 on Sunday in Australia today and Im being very relaxed. I read my friend's blog now, who is planning to travel world starting Japan, and got motivated in studying language more. So I will try writing my diary here as much as I can including whats happening these days and what I think. Now Im in a country where English is spoken I wanna do whatever I can do for myself. If you happen to read this article and get interested in it, I welcome everyone teaching better expressions, words and idioms. Id appreciate it. Thank you. Im off for soccer with my friends! I cant live without it :) See you.

My first italki Hi, mates. Im Moto from Japan and live in Australia. I just started using web site to improve my English skill. I have a native friend who gives me a hand to do it, but I think I need more practice. And then he introduced this web site to me. I would like to meet people who can brush up skills of each other :) I can teach you Japanese grammar, vocabulary, idioms etc because it is my major at university. I appreciate it if you are interested in me. Thank you.
