2023!!! Happy New Year!!
あけましておめでとうございます。
今年もできるだけ頑張ろうと思います。
そして、恒例の New Year Resolution!!
Let's get started.
ずばり！My goal for 2023 is "Happy and Healthy!!"
In order to make my main goal into reality, I made three specific new year resolutions and wrote down on a piece of paper which I put on the door of the refrigerator.
1: I'm going to improve my English one step higher!!
When I considered deeply what my struggles and difficulties in speaking in English are, I found three factors.
First, a lack of speed. My English lacks response speed during conversations. I gave up practicing quick responses once because elderly people generally speak slowly and that is okay due to a natural aging process like Robert de Niro. I'm aging, too!! I thought that it is okay to talk slowly word by word. However, I realized that was just an excuse for me. I want to be able to listen to fast English conversation accurately. I want to recall words that I've already known from deep part of my brain quickly with proper timing, otherwise I can not ride the flow of conversation. Communication is like a stream, so I want to try once again to catch the words and return my words thoughtfully as quick as possible.
