万博に行った時にママ尾に

こんなことを言われた


「ゆーは、勉強好きなのに英語はやらないの?」


うっ😅いや、ほら英語はパパ尾がいるからさ(ゴニョゴニョ)

※父は英語大好きおじさん、なので色々面倒


「まぁ、それは分かるけど、

まだ間に合うんじゃない?」


っと


たしかに、英語が使えればいいのになぁ


でも英語は、パパ尾も、みきゆきも、大騎も

出来るから私は良いかなぁ


と思ってたけど


今回の万博で、英語喋れたらなぁって

思う瞬間がいくつかあって


やっぱり?必要???ってなった

ぶっちゃけ、この間つまづきに感じたのが

博士課程の出願に英語論文の提出が必須で


とは言ってもドリル買ったり

スクール行くのはハードルが激高いので


試しにこのブログを文章をちゃっぴー(chat GPT)に翻訳してもらったのを

ブログの最後に貼り付けてみることにした


それでまずは

「眺めることから始めてみよう」と思う


それで飽きたらやめれば良いし

まずはやってみて、見慣れてみることから


何事も、ゆるゆるが大事

When Mom Asked About English


When we went to the Expo,

my mom turned to me and said:


“You love studying, so why don’t you ever study English?”


Uhh…😅 Well, you know… I mean,

Dad’s the English guy in the family (mumble mumble).

(FYI: My dad is an English-loving nerd. Which… makes things complicated.)


She laughed and said,

“Yeah, I get that. But don’t you think it’s still not too late?”


And honestly…

she had a point.


It would be nice if I could use English.

But I always figured—well,

Dad can speak it,

so can Mikiyuki and Daiki.

So maybe I didn’t have to?


That’s what I used to think.


But this time, at the Expo,

there were moments when I really wished I could speak English.


And that got me thinking—

Wait, do I actually need it…?


To be totally honest,

the moment it hit me was when I realized

I have to submit an English paper for the PhD program.


Gulp.


That said—

the idea of buying grammar drills or going to English school feels… exhausting.


So, I thought I’d try something a little lighter.


I decided to take this blog post,

and ask ChatGPT (hi, Chatty!)

to translate it into English.


I’ll paste the English version at the end of this post.


That way, I can just start by looking at it.

Just looking—no pressure.


And if I get bored, I’ll stop.

Simple as that.


Because really—

with anything in life,

a gentle start is the best way to begin.
