Learn foreign languages like Schliemann

This year is going and the new year is coming.
What have you done and what would you like to do?
My interest led me to so many things besides learning languages.
Right now, I'm writing this blog with listening Hindi, so I'm kind of back.
The reason I started this blog was developing English brain within me.
Although I have been lazy, it still exists.

Today, I read about how Schliemann acquired foreign languages.

1. Read out a lot
2. Don't translate
3. Study at least one hour everyday
4. Write often
5. Have composition corrected by a teacher
6. Memorize the correction

Also read about Lomb Kato who was born in Hungary and able to speak many languages fluently including Japanese and Chinese.

She learned those languages by her self, staying at her country.

In her conviction, the stronger the motivation is within us, and the more we can put aside inhibition, the sooner we can take possession of the language.

In my conviction, the good thing about learning foreign languages is not requiring a big money and it upgrades you if you are keeping it.

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Edo Sushi Sasaki

Sushi Sasaki @ Ginza People in Edo started to have Sushi and a restaurant started using fresh fish. 'Edo' means old Tokyo during from the 17th to 19th centuries where used to be a city of Samurai, and Osaka is for merchant at the time. Uni (Sea urchin) And NOW, Sushi chef in Osaka cut up a fish from stomach but chef in Tokyo do it from back. Because Harakiri (commit ritual suicide by disembowelment) is avoidable for Samurai, and Hara wo waru ('Breaking stomach' means heart to heart talk) is high end spirit for merchant. That's what the chef at Sasaki talked ^^. Sake Ebi (Prawn) Toro (Fatty Tuna) Anago (Conger) Uni (Sea urchin)

Horse Racing

It's already September. Some people says time goes faster and faster because of Ascension. Oak tree from my window Spiritualism is getting more popular in Japan. Is it the same in your country? I see or read many psychics and their stories and I enjoy them. Ooi racecourse, they have a buffet style restaurant We can enjoy racing from nice and comfortable seats I just wonder is it possible to make money in gambling for those people who have psychic powers ? Red cars at Nissan Gallery See, they are all red Red moon We can see only one side of moon. Do you believe that there are high buildings at back side made by crystal?
