Great class i ever had

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Aug 8th.


today i met with my conversation partner.
so i explained my mistake i wrote before.
and then we talked about many things.
and after that, i said
"i'm seeking any advices!"


and i continued,
"i can't understand long sentence on conversation"
"sometimes, people say, the person who is ~~~ like ==== is ==== "
"so, i forget what the person said at first!"


and then, he said,
"it's impossible for japanese to translate."


i said,
"i know! i don't translate.
i just try to understand.
but my understanding is just 60%"


ok. let's see.
"That I told my mother that my little sister bought for my big sister some present she loves was confused my cousin."


I thought,"Huh?"


You don't have to translate,
you can't translate, just understand.
and tell me what i said in japanese.
ok, again.....



the bottom line is my conversation partner trains me understand mostly.
this is the greatest listening practice i have ever had.


if i keep learning with him like this,
i must be able to listen to english exactly.
i appreciate this meeting.
it's gonna be my best successful reason of studying abroad.
