about language learning

For leaning foreign languages, keep yourself in the linguistic environment probably is the most effective and important thing to do. Do you agree? If you do, could you please share your experiences to us? If you don't, would you tell us the most important and effective thing in learning a foreign language?

Thanks,

Have a good day!

Was I arrogant?

I came home very late the day before yesterday, because I talk with my colleagues. However, I'm now not sure about whether I did right. We talked about foreign language learning, and almost I was talking all the time, the others just chimed in with me. I'm sure I know how to learn a foreign language a little better than the others, but I don't know why could I dash along as long as two hours. It was like that I was giving a presentation to show off myself. I felt I was so arrogant and I'm so embarrass to meet them. I don't know how they think of me. I'm now thinking about myself. I should be careful to express myself. What do you think about this? If you were me, how would you express and act?

気をつけてください

皆様、こんにちは。

今朝一つの記事を見ました。皆さんも見たかも知らないですが、日本政府がインフルエンザの全国流行に対する対策を検討したいようです。外国からウイルスの侵入を防御するため、全国4空港、3港しか解放するようになるかも。

しかし、今年岡山のインフルエンザはかなり流行しているようです。私の周りに少なからず７人も感染していました。本当に怖いです。皆さんもきちんとかからないように気をつけてください。頻繁にてお洗うこととうがいをすることによって、かなり効くそうです。特に外から帰ったときね。

Reflection

I have a very serious habit, which is can not remember things that I should do. Today, I'm supposed to give English lesson to two classes. I came to the school before time as usual, and the students was expected be here on time, but they didn't come. Then, I realized that the notice that the e-mail for informing the date and time  of this lesson might not reach them, since I've not got a reply from them. Actually, I intended to confirm it but I forgot, which resulted in that I have to be waiting here for one hour for the next class. OH, how terrible I am. I hate this and usually ask my self if I have forgotten something. But it seems not so effective, so I have to take this more seriously and overcome it. Fight!!!

Do you have any habit that you want to change? Can you change it? If you have some good methods, could you please teach me?
