習いたい言語

私は日本語を習いたい。実は、最初にただ外国語を習いたくて、どれでもよかった。その時、高校の頃に日本語の科目があったことを思い出した。じゃあ、日本語にするって思った。それから、日本語の勉強を続けた。

Scone

I made some scones for tomorrow's hike.

It's one of my favorite western desserts, and the only one I'm good at.

This time, I added some pumpkin seeds and raisins to it, which would help me supply electrolytes and trace elements.

Gringos y azúcar

Hoy veía un video de YouTube sobre cómo los Americanos ponen tanto azúcar en su café. Comenté esto:

Soy de Estados Unidos, y algo que nadie entiende aquí es que el café negro de Starbucks es adrede TERRIBLE. No se puede beberlo, entonces cada persona que va al Starbucks (hay muchas) tiene que agregar un montón de azúcar. Porque Starbucks es tan popular, los gringos creen que café negro es amargo y terrible, y así que ellos lo agregan azúcar cómo agregan azúcar a todo.

¿Cómo hice?

Esta noche, he asistido una reunión en linea.
Es la renión de saxofón.
Me gusta mucho este grupo, porque el profesor es muy bueno y puedo aprender no sólo como tocar el saxofón, pero también el modo de pensar de la vida.
No he conocido al profesor ni a ningún miembro todavía.
Este año, tenemos muchas oportunidades de conocerse en persona.
Me gustaría participar a estas reuniones.

Mi impresión de leer un libro

Recientemente leí un libro se llama "In Altre Parole(En otra parabola en español)".
El autor es Jhumpa Lahirí.
Este libro me dio mucho impresiones.
Siento mucho empatía con sus sentidos de aprender otro idioma.
La autor nació en Kolkata.
Pero durante su mayoría parte de vida, vivía en Estados Unidos
Así ella sienta que no exista su lengua materna.
Ella tiene cara exótica por los estadounidenses. Aún habla inglés perfectamente , la gente la trata como persona extranjera por su aspecto.
Pero ella no habla bengalí como la lengua nativa.

Ella es una persona quien está en la frontera entre los dos idiomas.
Pero después de tocar italiano, su tercera idioma la trae muchísimo. Durante muchos años ella está sobre los dos idiomas.
Es su completamente nueva idioma, pero ella siento nostalgia por italiano.

A través de ver su experiencia de aprender italiano, yo recuerdo mi memoria de aprender español. Es una lengua muy diferente de mi lengua materna, japonés.
Pero el español me suena muy familiar.
Es interesante.
Lahirí mencionó que aprender idiomas es una acción muy solitaria y es como ser otra persona.
Me sorprendió su comentario porque tengo mismo punto de vista por aprender idiomas.
Generalmente la gente que estudia lenguas extranjeras son muy abiertas y tiene motivos de exponer su enchufe de su amistad.
Pero para mí, me gusta estudiar nueva lengua sola y siento solitaria por expandir expandir mi conocimiento de español poco a poco.
Creía que mi idea es muy raro, pero me alegro que haya otra persona que tenga sentido parecido a mi.

Al principio, pedí prestado este libro a la biblioteca, pero ha sido mi tesoro.
Cuando me dio cuenta, lo compré a la librería.
Es necesario ponerlo a mi lado y volver de leerlo muchas veces.

Tengo mucho suerte de encontrar este libro en comienzo del nuevo año.
Me apetece que el año 2026 vaya muy buen año.

Proverbios en Español

Estoy buscando poetas para ayudar con dos proverbios Españoles:

“Los destinos son caprichosos, así que elige el tuyo”

Y

“Sin herida, el corazón queda hueco”

Creo que esos son traducciones literales de Inglesa, pero quiero que son más poética, más rítmico, posiblemente rima, más como proverbios

¿Puede ayudar?

Häufig Fehler mit meiner Deutschkenntnisse

Ich kann zwischen 50 bis 70% verstehen, wenn die Deutsche Sprache gesprochen hat. Schreiben und Sprechen ist für mich schwierig. Da sind viele Grammatikthemen, dass auf Englisch nicht existiert. Zum Beispiel, viele Verbformen über der Vergangenheit. Vielleicht Mann musste Perfekt nutzen, weil Mann spricht. Aber wenn Mann schreiben wollte, musste Mann Präteritum nutzen. Das ist richtig, oder? Die Vergangenheit Grammatikregeln auf Englisch ist für mich leichter, weil Englisch meine Muttersprache ist. Ich muss Deutschgrammatik lernen. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich die Grammatikregeln lernen kann. Vielleicht brauche ich die Sprachgefühl? Dann bekomme ich die Regeln leichter?

Mein Lieblingsfilm

Mein Lieblingsfilm heißt "The Sound of Music" oder "Meine Lieder - Meine Träume" auf Deutsch. Der Film ist ursprünglich auf Englisch aber ist auf Deutsch synchronisiert. Ich habe den Film nur auf Englisch geschaut und noch nicht auf Deutsch. Der Film war im Salzburg gedreht und ich möchte sehr, das Ort des Films zu besichtigen. Der Film ist ein Musical und auch ein Liebesfilm. Im Film geht es um eine Frau heißt Maria, die die Familie von Kapitän Georg von Trapp besucht, um als eine Erzieherin für die Familie zu arbeiten. Sie war ursprünglich eine Nonne aber verliebt sich im Laufe des Films im Kapitän. Was im Film gefällt mir ist, wie lebenswert die Figuren im Film sind und natürlich der großartige Soundtrack von Rodgers und Hammerstein. Meiner Meinung nach der Soundtrack ist, dass er möglicherweise der beste Soundtrack in der Geschichte von Filme ist. Die Atmosphäre des Films ist fast unschagbar und ist der Hauptgrund, warum dieser Film mein Lieblingsfilm seit ich ein Kind war ist. Er ist eine Erfahrung, die alle probieren soll.

Reading News In English

Today, I read a new article. It talked about leather industry in kashmir. It explained that many factories have been closing.

I don't know if this article talk on a specially country. I believe that it's a international problem and not only for one or two country.

I think it's good thing for world because the kashmir is bad for animals. I saw several documentaries on this topic. Many factories, a lot in china, have been hurting animals for thé kasmir. They have been killing many animals even alives. This movies are horrible.

So, i'm not going to cry if many Kashmir factories are closing. We must be vigilant when we would to buy kashmir. To buy a cheaper cloth with Kashmir, is bad production. You might believe that may be your cloth made with many animals dead alive.

Hockey sobre helio

Hay un deporte que pienso que me habría gustado haber jugado cuando era joven y ese deporte es hockey sobre hielo. No sé si habría sido un buen jugador pero me gusta mucho el patinaje sobre hielo y no he aprendí como patinar sobre hielo hasta que era los dieciocho años que es muy tarde. En verdad, puedo patinar a un nivel aceptable en mi opinión pero querría ser mehor. Despues mucho entrenamiento, ya puedo patinar en reversa sobre hielo pero no tengo la gracia que unos cuantas personas que veo sobre la pista de hielo y pienso que si yo jugaba hockey sobre hielo durante mi infancia que tendría esta gracia. Pero, esto no es la unica razon por querer jugar hockey sobre hielo, pienso también que el deporte sería muy divertido.

Nützliche Webseite

Eine äußerst nützliche Webseite, die ich vor ein paar Monaten entdeckt habe, ist youglish.com. Die Idee dahinter ist schlicht und einfach: Man wählt die Sprache aus (Es sind Dutzende vorhanden) und schreibt ein Wort oder eine Wendung hin. Die Webseite sucht dann in ihrer Datenbank alle Videos mit dieser Wendung heraus und zeigt die nacheinander an. Diese Datenbank verfügt über eine Million Beispiele! Das kann dabei enorm helfen, sich sowohl die richtige Aussprache als auch den üblichsten Kontext von neu gelernten Vokabeln anzueignen. Ich gebe euch einen Beispiel: Heute war mir die Wendung ''schlicht und einfach'' neu, und anhand von dieser Webseite habe ich gelernt, wie man sie in einem Satz betonen und in welchen Kontexten benutzen sollte. Außerdem kann man aus der Anzahl von Videos erschließen, wie verbreitet eine bestimmte Redewendung ist. Beispielsweise sind nur drei Videos für den Prompt ''Fuchs und Hase gute Nacht'' vorhanden, doch wenn ich ''gang und gäbe'' eingebe, gibt es schon mehr als hundert!

L’astronomie

Depuis que je suis petit, j’aime la science. Quand j'étais un enfant j’ai lu tous les livres de science que je pouvais trouver. J’aime toutes les sciences : biologie, chimie et physique. Mais la meilleure science, pour moi, est l’astronomie. Les trous noirs, les exoplanètes, les nains rouges et ainsi de suite sont extrêmement fascinants. Encore mieux est les questions hallucinantes et déroutantes. Par exemple, est-que ce la matière exotique est réelle ? Est-que ce les trous de vers sont possibles à créer ? Si le voyage dans le temps est possible, comment cela fonctionne-t-il ? Et qu'en est-il de la géométrie non euclidienne ? Je l’aime beaucoup mais je ne le comprends pas du tout (elle est surtout connue de la Tardis de Doctor Who ou le tesseract de Interstellaire). Un jour, j’aimerais obtenir une licence d’astronomie et devenir astronome.

I mostly watch the comedy on TV. Many comedians appear in the comedy show in Japan. I believe that laughing is the very important thing in order to live happily every day. On the other hand, I mostly don’t watch the dramas on TV.

Memoir

Chapter I: Lac Lac
It began five years ago.
At first, there are just posts on my facebook likes the post belows:
Destroying paper is a very simple matter
just put the paper in the shredder
Done
Our office has a paper shredder
and although
and also, of course
I like that machine
I think it is an interesting machine
and also fun to listen to
But
It just takes so long
and also hot-tempered
A co-worker said to me
The reason why every few minutes it freezes
is because it is hot
I have to wait for it to cool down
So that it can continue.
With the pile of paper I have been hoarded
I cannot sit with that machine
Then I decide to burn the paper
But how can I burn something when the company has fire alarms installed everywhere and they make loud noises at the slightest fluctuation?
(Yes, they are really like screaming at the slightest thing
no matter what anyone does, they still make noise
Like
That is our passion, why do we need the reason?
)
So I have to sit in a corner
I also get involved with a HSE co-worker sitting with me
And because she is a HSE
so even though there is nothing around where I am sitting that seems flammable
she still carries a fire extinguisher beside us

We sit burning paper like people burn votive paper for more than an hour
but still not done
So
I want to ask
is there any more effective way to destroy paper?
I write them disinterestedly, do not think too much about what and how I write, just like I am chatting with a friend. So as you see, they are not very special. I have more than 200 friends on facebook and there are around 20-50 people interacted each post, I satisfy with this and do not very mind about whether remaining people read them.
Then, the more I post, the more people like them. My friends tell me many people did not interact but they really like those posts. They all find them easy to look at, simple, close, funny and interesting. They feel relaxed, comfortable and ask me to write more often.
I was a little surprised because this is more than I expected. I am happy to know but this has not many meanings to me. Those compliments are just a few more sentences in my daily conversations. My life has not changed much. I go to work every morning and come back home every evening. I hardly go out, and when I do, I almost meet few people. I have only a few relationships that I really care about, they all started before I started writing those posts, and those posts are not much of a surprise to them, I talk to them in the same way. Further, I have no need to expand my circle of relationships. I find it quite hopeless to find common ground with others, actually. This has caused me considerable difficulty, as I only want to have truly close relationships, which I can be able to fully share myself. From very early on, I found that my and others' thoughts seem like they rarely meet each other. And this did not improve as I grew older, to this day I keep feeling like others are so irrational and I live by standards that sound normal but seem abnormal compared to them. Even with the few relationships I have, we also do not understand each other, I just know they do not think the same as me and they are just used to me having unusual thoughts.
So I do not care much about that request, I continue posting only when I want to.
Instead, I spend most of the time on facebook to hear and read posts from pages I followed and find more pages. I follow all topics, aspects, times and places, as long as they do not violate ethics or the law, to the best of my knowledge. As for music, I am not limited to any particular genre: classical music, US UK music, Chinese music, contemporary Vietnamese music, bolero music,... I do the same with news sites, movies, paintings, history, science,... I know the world is that vast, there are so many things, I am happy to learn about all of them. Anyway, I am not under pressure to do this. If I find them interesting or understand them, it is good for me, if not, no harm done. For a long time, this has been one of my hobbies. The other hobbies are: reading books, learning to play the organ, chess… You know, when your job is stable and you have no ambition for a higher position, moreover, you are an introvert, you will have so much free time just for yourself. That was my life during that time.
One day, I posted a video of music on facebook. It is not just a record by smart phone. I paid for a professional video recording service. It shocks people, including my friends and this surprises me. Some of them suggest that I become a cover singer, some believe that video is the proof I will step into showbiz. But it is not like that. A few days ago, I saw an advertisement on an old friend's personal page. She and her husband run this service business. I thought I would like it and others would also enjoy it. It would be a memorable memory. And that was all I wanted.
Maybe my facebook really attracted a lot of attention from this post. There are some things have changed. My facebook friends started to like and follow the pages I did. Those activities are displayed on my personal page. Do any others who do not add friends with me do the same? I do not know. I just know they are also affected. I work at a manufacturing company with more than 2000 people, I often talk to most of them only when the job requires it with cold politeness. I know they felt uncomfortable with this sometimes but I had a solid position here, so they still treated me pretty kindly. Now, it seems like they realize that is not unsociable or impolite but a personality and they turn to like it. They are more friendly and warm to me.
I understand that I have a little fame. The effects of this makes me think that I found the key I have been looking for, the key to have one of the things I have always wanted: To live a life where I do not have to be self-conscious about being true to myself, not just in a few close relationships, but in many other relationships as well. And that key is: people love me love my dog.
I know me and my life in others eyes are full of happiness, interesting and satisfied. They admire this. But that is not the person I want to be, nor the life I want others to think of me. I do not know how others feel when they show only their strengths and good points to others, but this has had a very negative impact on me. A growing feeling of emptiness, stifling, incompleteness that haunted me, as if there is a blank somewhere inside me that is smoldering, aching, frustrating, tormenting me. I want it to disappear.
In a way, I am a very simple person. I think I need more fame to show other sides of me. I see it as a balance. At that time, I did not recognize it as a very stupid and dangerous thought. I just focus on getting more fame. And this is easy. How I gain it from that video, I just need to do the same, embellishing, exaggerating my abilities. I sing quite well. Many people know it, I even heard compliments: “I have never heard anyone sing as well as you before”. But when I put a glossy coat on my voice, it shocks them like nobody heard me sing ever.
The problem is the impression of me on facebook is probably deeply engraved in other people's minds. I know it will be difficult and take a long time to change this. I am not that patient. I have another plan to make this easier and faster.
If their mind is already fixed with old impressions when they see my facebook, then the first thing I need to do is create another account. I named it Lac Lac, which means lostness. I think that name is suitable to me, I often feel like there is nowhere or nobody I belong to. I decided not to add any friends. My last purpose is showing my whole self. And it is certainly not all good things. I do not want to put myself and my friends in an awkward situation. I just need them to understand implicitly. On the other hand, in order to have more fame, I need Lac Lac spread to as many people as possible. Perhaps you think I am stupid when thinking that not adding any friend will help an account be more widespread than adding more friends. But you will see, in my case, it works.
How can an account with no friends reach many people in a short time? I had some attention from the main account. What I need to do is take advantage of their attention. I set the avatar as my picture. And the first posts are related to what I posted on my main account. In two days, I have had more than ten friend requests. It is not too much, right? But it means I was right, facebook's algorithmIt would display this account to those people. I do not accept any requests. Few days later, some of them text me and ask whether it is me. I respond to those messages. I say yes and tell them I hope they will pretend they do not know, like this account is a strange person.
Then, I put a frivolous cover on Lac Lac to attract more people's attention. It is not very difficult for me when I actually try to hear, read, learn a lot of things for years. I do not really understand all of them or am good at any of them but I just post everything. I know people like the newness and surprise. I need to maintain their curiosity. I share a new content every night without any order before I go to bed. This will give them a sense of anticipation in the time they are facing their true selves.
And a very strange personal page is born like that. It is not an exaggeration to say that I created something unprecedented. There is no comment, no like, no share on Lac Lac but this account became popular as a famous page.
I go to work every morning with admiring eyes and enjoyment from co-workers. I often hear some enthusiastic allusions from people around me: "Your facebook looks so brilliant", "Do you know you have a lot of fans?", "Successful people have their own path", "How many followers does it take to have a blue checkmark?"... I get better treatment from strangers: Receiving thank you letters with a discount voucher from online shops, the owners of the stores I shop at are more welcoming to me… On my main account, there are suggestions displayed: "Brands just for you", "Groups you may like", "People you may know" (some of them are famous people),...
In fact, I have never seen any follower or blue checkmark appear on Lac Lac. But I know I had as much fame as I wanted. And I start to show more about myself in some posts. Those posts are not to attract others, they are things I really care about. Impermanence, injustice, treachery, contradictory action, illogical human thoughts, how people treat each other, the fate of those who resolutely pursue the truth,… My weaknesses, my fears, experiences that haunt me, perspectives that I could not say,…
I think people read them seriously. Those posts cause various reactions, and this makes me confused. Last night I posted a post, this morning I see people around me look at me like: they think I am a profound person, or feel sorry for me, some more avoid me, as if they do not want to face the fact that they admired a mediocre person, some others bow their head, as if they are ashamed of themself. And in the afternoon, all of them look at me the same as yesterday, or a day before yesterday, or last week.
At that time, I know that all of the posts are obscure in others' minds, they just remember and like Lac Lac’s frivolous cover. Somehow I think I failed. I hoped this account would make others think of me to be more like who I truly am, but they just see it has too much fame and this makes them think of me even more perfect than me on the main account.
But I keep posting every night. I have not completely given up on my last purpose. I just do not expect it to be easy and quick anymore. And I know only I think I failed, others think I am more and more successful. I am a little disturbed: Should I make things clear? That actually I exaggerated myself to attract followers. Or delete Lac Lac. I did not. Because the more others think I am successful, the better my life is. A lingering sense of guilt subtly creeps into my thoughts but I deceived myself, that what I received is what I deserve whether Lac Lac exists. Anyway, I do not make money from my followers. Besides, I really want Lac Lac to not only help my life better but also others. I think people surf facebook like a child going to school. What they see, hear, or read easily affects them. But social media is an irresponsible teacher, only concerned with getting as many students as possible. So the negative and toxic contents are always much more than the positive and good ones. They focus on people’s feelings, not their thoughts, they give them strong emotions and shallow thinking. Like a fool with a great ideal, I want to use Lac Lac’s fame to change this. Although most of my followers are not people who have always only liked positive and good contents, I always share a lot of posts I find useful, or a book I am reading, or give another perspective on some issues. I do not expect them to enjoy those posts or books like me or agree with me, but I do hope they can see that there is a lot more to pay attention to than the negative and toxic contents they see every day or know that there are always ways to look at things. I think people can change, good habits can be formed slowly, thinking can also change gradually. Yes, I wanted to change even the ingrained irrational ways of thinking in people.
I really overestimated myself. It is a goal that is clearly beyond my reach. It will fail. With Lac Lac, I cannot change anything or anyone but “they” can catch me out and destroy me.
In my main account, the posts that are untrue display more and more. Sometimes I immediately know it is untrue, sometimes it takes me a few days or more time to know, and maybe there were posts up to now I still do not know were untrue, and they are still on Lac Lac, I shared them. More worrying, the posts defame state leaders and the regime also are gradually displayed. Thank God, I do not care about politics at all. If not, with my stupidity and innocence, I am not sure if I can write this story. People often say: showbiz is complicated, business is battlefield… But in my opinion, politics is much more complicated and dangerous. And in real life, I start to see jealousy in some people. But at that time, I had no idea about what was happening or what would happen.

How?

Hello, everyone. My last note have recorded one week ago. I would like to know the English language, but I must more practice. In last time, I forget about it. I just listen some podcasts in English. The listening is great, but it is not enough for improvement. I don't know how should I organise my timemenegment to be able to do that I want. I guess it is impossible.
