I am teaching Japanese who want to practice Japanese. I am also a Chinese learner, I need to practice Chinese if I could find the time. My second foreign language is Chinese, but I totally forgot everything about Chinese. And I always am shy when I speak Chinese. Learning foreign language is fun if I have more time to learn.
Since Japanese is my mother tongue, I have not cared about grammar. The student asks me “Why do you say so? other than ….” my answer sometimes “I did not notice that” or “I do not know”. When I say so, this is actually my fault. I should have prepared better.
I need to know more about Japanese grammar, so I often open textbook and learn Japanese sometime. That is funny. When I teach Japanese, I realize that I do not understand Japanese. At least, I did not think about my mother tongue logically. My student often says “That is weird” , “You should say …” But I actually I do not say so. Sometime I do not have answers from “Grammatical point of view”.
Anyway, today is Friday. My study was going well for this week. I have still so many things to do before I turn the paper in. But I am pretty much enjoying the process. I am becoming the better and the better for Science. I would say I am enjoying study physics.
I will run 20 miles tomorrow, I need to sleep earlier. I will finish today’s blog here. I am having good time lately, but to tell the truth, I need more reading time. I think I could keep some for Saturday and Sunday. I will pretty much enjoy this weekend as usual. I am still reading “Why nations fail” which is long book and serious theme. I am looking for something fun book for the next.
You have a good weekend.
