(( In my poor English ))
If you'd like to improve your English conversation skill, you must use a lot.
Though it's of course, I really feel so.
I went to see the cherry blossoms at Kyoto.all day.
Mr I ( one of my best friends since I was in university)
invited me to this sightseeing.
This trip is with and for Ms.D.
She is an Indonesian student in Germany and visits Japan now.
We went to famous sights at Higashiyama in Kyoto,
Ken'nin-ji(temple), Yasaka-Jinja(shrine), Maruyama Park,
Shoren'in-Monzeki(temple), Kiyomizu-dera(temple).
We communicated in English.
If you are Japanese,
how do you explain the following sentense.
When Buddhists of Rinzai-shu(denomination) meditate,
they think only one "Koan"(question).
When I explained "Koan" to her,
I said to her "a philosophical question".
When I said "philosophical",
I accented the word on the first syllable wrongly.
I was not able to say "meditate" easily,
but I managed to use the word.
One of famous Bossa Nova songs ,"Meditaiton" reminded me about the word.
However Mr.I and I was not able to translates words of Sushi fish into English.
We didn't know "bonito (katsuo in Japanese)".
I'll try to learn English ,especially English words.
Anyway we spend an exciting day.
Thank you very much, Ms. D & Mr.I.
