A good bookstore is your friend

Wednesday, October, 05, 2016

Greetings and good day and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

So, the popular place for resources is the internet, but being in a good bookstore has a certain charm to it that the internet can in no way deliver. Being able to physically touch the object versus a digital image of it feels good. So, while strolling around the store, I saw plenty of great study resources in there. The language section has lots of books, some of which are better than others. If you have any foreign friends, see if one of them will go with you to look at the books together.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.

Museums a plenty

Wednesday, September, 28, 2016

Greetings and good day and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

The art museum is a great place to be exposed to not only an assortment of different kinds of works, but also language that is associated with such works. Many good museums are multilingual and will almost always provide English and sometimes other languages as well. They anticipate getting visitors and it seems to be the norm for English to be the most foreigner-friendly language to be utilized. So the next time you are out at your favorite museum, try giving the other language portion a look.

Signage for learning

Wednesday, September, 21, 2016

Greetings and howdy and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

Well, walking around the park down in Shikoku, it apparently has some well-written English on signs. This is good because it’s not only in the appropriate style, it even has decent localization. The general idea is there, but with a natural style of saying things. I think that such places are good if you can take some photos and study the material later. Of course, while studying be sure to have someone proofread the photos to make sure they are indeed OK.

Correct, but not suitable words

Wednesday, September, 14, 2016

Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

So, it’s a popular thing to use words that are foreign and try to convey some kind of different, cool image. Sometimes it works and the people doing so are none the wiser about it, but whenever a person from the country in question sees the material, they will be able to judge it properly. Unfortunately, some people don’t have anything proofread and get something that is correct, but not suitable.

I saw a case of “grab” the victory… The better way is “go for” the victory. So the lesson is, proofread things!

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.

Learn through reading

Wednesday, August, 31, 2016

Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

I always say that learning through something that is not only of interest, but was created by natives is the way to go. Media like TV, books, and in this case: games are all good ways. I particularly like media that involves reading as you get to develop both reading and spelling skills as well. A lot of this media is written in ways where characters speak in a more natural tone, so you can be exposed to all kinds of language.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.

Historical places

Wednesday, August, 24, 2016

Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

So the topic that will be introduced today is that of historical places, namely the castles. So, they are always fun to look at, but learning about the topic is a good way to become accustomed to vocabulary that you wouldn’t ordinarily see. If the place is good, a lot of things inside have information in multiple languages, so it is a good place to start. So try heading out to some of these famous places for the scenery as well as the information.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.

Slogans

Wednesday, August, 17, 2016

Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

So the key point today is a word we use that is slogan. This is an expression, typically used in advertising, that has a way of standing out to people and is very memorable. Japan tends to do a lot of advertising, some of which is in English, although not always correct or sometimes nonsensical. However, I visited the US and saw more slogans and they were interesting to see as they are correct. One such slogan was on a chicken box. “Love that chicken” is simple and easy to remember. Look for slogans if you are abroad.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.

Opportunity costs

Wednesday, August, 10, 2016

Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

So, there are many methods of transportation. Of great interest is the fact that bicycles are very prevalent in Asian countries, particularly Japan. In the countryside, there are even large places to store them. The phrase opportunity cost comes to mind when thinking about different methods of transportation and choosing personal transportation. The phrase opportunity cost means some kind of good and bad point are associated with a decision. For instance, a bicycle is cheap, but can be inconvenient, particularly in poor weather. A car has more conveniences, but has a lot of expense. This kind of balance is an interesting thing to be considered in making all kinds of decisions.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.

Reading practice about history

Wednesday, August, 03, 2016

Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

Kind of an extension of what was written about last time, another reason for doing English study is that a lot of places seem to only have the country’s native language and English as a side language. Occasionally other countries’ languages are in there, but a lot of things I have seen do not seem to that. A very good way to challenge yourself is to just try your best to read what is there and try to learn the history of whatever it is you are looking at. Go for broke.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.

Brochures are good

Wednesday, July, 27, 2016

Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

So, traveling is a good thing and there are a plethora of places to go and most of them will have some sort of paraphernalia such as brochures. The best part is they are generally multilingual and usually someone proofreads this material so that it looks and sounds accurate. If you travel, try picking up brochures in multiple languages as that can be a good way to compare and ascertain what you are reading.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.
