My daily life living in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan

Searching for a Better Way

- Busy February -

February is over.

It went by in a flash.

My YouTube and website... I couldn't update them at all.

Even with no time,

I must find a way to keep posting.

I have to do things differently.

- How to Spend March -

In Japan,

March is a very busy month.

The end of March is the fiscal year-end for many businesses.

To meet budgets and goals, It becomes very hectic

My kids, too, The new school year begins in April.

My personal time will probably be non-existent.

Quick dinner at the office, get home after 11 PM, watch "Frieren" and "MF Ghost", falling asleep in the living room... that’s going to be my reality.

- Simple videos -

By creating English subtitles, I thought it would be helpful for studies.

But in reality, To match subtitles to the video, I spent a lot of time.

From now on, I’m going to keep my videos very simple.

- Simple website -

I started this website to study HTML.

It has the same content as the video.

Until now, I captured still images from my videos.

This also took up a lot of my time.

From now on, using fewer images,

I’m going to make my website simple, too.

- My English studies -

Learning English by blogging in English.

Make my videos more simple,

reducing the number of photos on my website,

I want to focus more on writing in English.

As for reading and writing, I'm going to stick with this method.

As for speaking, I haven't found a good way to study yet.

I've been using Duolingo for 620 days,

but even simple conversation still feels difficult.

I tried Duolingo Max,

but my conversations with Lily end so quickly.

She just says, "I have to go", and hangs up on me.

Oh, I wish I could find a better way to study.
