===================================

●i learned [how to use "used to"]
→"慣れる"と"昔〜していた"の違い

when you wanna say 慣れる,
you should add be or get or (belong) before it,
and then you have to add ing after the verb.

ex)
I got used to living in U.S
(アメリカで暮らすのになれた)
ex)
I am used to playing tennis.
(テニスをすることになれます)
{get, got is more common than be, i think}


but if you wanna say 昔していた
you shouldn't add get or be,
and don't add ing

ex)I used to live in U.S
(昔アメリカに住んでいた)
ex)I used to play tennis.
(昔テニスをしていた)

Hi,

【しゃべくリアン８】僕は日替わりの座右の銘

どうもこんにちは。
だいとです。
今週のテーマは【座右の銘】


この質問いつも悩むんですよね。
僕自身しっかり座右の銘の意味を把握してなかったので、
調べてみました。簡単にいうと座右の銘とは、


常に自分の心にとめておいて、戒めや励ましとする格言。


とありました。
自分の中の言葉の標識ということですね。
これは僕の中で解釈するに、、、


あなたの軸（ぶれない考え方を）を一言で表しなさい。
あなたの生きたい生き方を一言で表しなさい。
あなたの目標を一言で表しなさい。
と、そんな風に感じます。



じゃあ僕の軸を一言で・・・
ぶれない考え方を一言で・・・
大切にしていることを一言で・・・
生きたい生き方を一言で・・・
・・・言える訳ないじゃないですか。笑


僕が大切にしていることは、
・当たり前を当たり前としない。
・人生はなるようになっている。失敗してもそれは何かの縁。
・幸せこそ追求すべきもの。
・与えること。与えること。
・・・・・・・・・・・・
正直５０個はかけます。
もっとかけるかも。


それだけ日々から学び、
「こういう考え方って大事だな〜」とか、
「自分がこう考えているのは、よくなかったな」とか、
考えるようにしています。


さすがに毎日そういう座右の銘を、
吸収している訳ではないですが、
座右の名を聞かれるときには、
いつも違う座右の名を言っている僕がいるんです。


それって標識の意味をなさないよね。
ぶれてるってことだよね。


といわれるとそれまでですが、
僕はこれを自分の成長だと感じています。



聞かれる度に変わってきた僕の座右の名。
今の僕の座右の名は、
「当たり前は当たり前じゃない」
ってこと。


これが変わるときが意味するのは、
この座右の銘を忘れたからではなくて、
自分の中に落とし込んだときだということです。


日本に帰って、
日本の有り難さをしったときに、
日本で言葉をもっと巧みに操れるときに、
日本で大好きな人たちに再会したときに、
日本でがむしゃらに勉強してるときに、
僕の座右の銘はまた違うモノになっているかもしれません。



それを踏まえて言うと、僕の座右の銘は、
【日々の学び】
と言っても過言ではないですね。


日々の学び。
面接で聞かれたときに答えられるのは、
この座右の名かもしれない。。。。


書くことでこれに気づけました！
いい機会になったなぁ〜

【しゃべくリアン７】これだけは許せないこと

こんにちは
だいとです！


今週のテーマは、
【これだけは許せないこと】です。


ん〜〜〜
むずかしい。


自分を見つめ直す機会になってる気がして、
これはおもしろいですね。


率直に今思ったことを書きます。
僕の許せないことは、



・人の勝手やんという言葉
（なんか自分のためだけの自己中に聞こえる）
・人、動物を大切にしない行為
（いじめとか、動物虐待とか）
・自分の大切な人をぞんざいに扱う人
・刑法にふれることとか
（殺人や詐欺とか窃盗とか）



まあこんなことですが、
それ以外のことはたいてい許せます。
許せるというよりか受け入れることができます。


人を受け入れる、
行動の裏側を理解してあげる、
これは僕が大切に思っていることです。


アメリカにいる今、実感することは、
「ここの人は人を受け入れる器がある」
ということ。


パーティにも友達の友達がいれば、
面識がなくてもwelcome、
また様々な文化の違いを知り、
受け入れています。


これは僕のアメリカでの大きな学びです。
人を受け入れること。理解すること。
アメリカに来て良かったと思う、
ひとつの理由です。

I'l drive you to near your place."


i'm really grad about that!!
in the car,
we talked about many things.
it was so fun.


i'm so happy.
i'm getting along with classmate of design.



anyway, finish this week!!!
we usually have 3 holidays.
but i have plans.
hw, job, something like that.
and i have to cook, lol


anyway,
this week was also nice!

got No.1 in design class

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is July 10th


today,
we gave a presentation about Edx,
it's online education system.
now that i think about it,
i was freaked out, lol


i spoke faster,
and my grammer was wrong.
i have to keep it in my mind...


after that,
i talked about my site of TOEIC to my seniors.
they are interested in it,
and they will write some article!
i'm sooo glad!
i want many people to get high score of TOEIC
because it means it broadens their horizons, and broaden their opportunities!


after class was dismissed,
i had design class.
today is layout class.
and i learned about typographic.


so before the class was over,
we excised to review what we learned.
it was draw pic with typographic.


after i drew it, i showed my pic to them.
then, they were impressed!
and kinda teacher said,
you have a great brain!
it's nice idea and nice design.


the pic is this!

i still have a long way to go.
but i'm glad i can do as well as native speaker!
even i'm foreigner.


===================================

●i learned [should focus on not]
→i nt see your presentation last monday.

(classmate)i nt see your presentation last monday.
(i said)yeah,
(i thought)wait wait, do i exactly understand what she said?
(i said)yeah?
(i said)monday?

===================================

Prepare for Presentation

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is July 9th


since yesterday,
we don't have any hw
because we have to prepare for presentation for tomorrow.


i already prepared for it,
which means i don't have any hw!!!!
but actually i have assignments of design class.
so it's no meaning. lol


and today my senior asked for me to advice how to make presentation slide.
and then, i could give nice advice.(i think)
i'm glad about that.


today's photoshop class was also fun!
so, i'll review that.
and after that, i go to sleep.





===================================

●i learned [the reason why could it more polite]
→because it's distance

close distance means friendly, informal.
using past words means making a distance
that's why could is more polite.
I did't know that.



●i learned [more polite phrase]
→kick off< fire< terminate

phrasal verb is not formal.
fire is soso.
terminate is more polite.

when you choose the words,
you have to think which word is suitable.

===================================

see ya!

guest speaker

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


today, guest speaker was coming.
she is representative of NPO about tour.
they provide some tour, which
you can get great experience
by communicating with local people.


her story was interested.
that's what start-up.
they switched profit organization into non-profit organization.
because....
i was going to tell you that.
but i think it takes much time.
so, if you interested in,
plz contact me.


only if some people interested in it,
i would write the article about this in japanese.



by the way,
from today,
the design class restarts.

today was sooo fun.
we had to think adv in 5minutes with partner.
fortunately, my partner is the woman who helped me before.
so i felt free to say everything.

but i'm guilty because my parents let me take the class,
but actually i can understand less than 50%
i think it's waste of their money.
i'm sorry for that.
i am doing my best,
but still long way.....



===================================
●i learned  useful ward [totally]
→完全に、(something like that.)

(waiter)i can bring you something to eat.
(i said)thanks.

I love the movie named "how to train your Dragon"
i would wanna watch it with my children.

===================================

●i learned [how to watch movie in english]

kinda frustrated

Hi,
I'm Daito,
and today is July 6th


this week, i charge of cleaning our bathroom.
but i can't believe the person who charged of it last week didn't clean it.
the bathroom is icky,,,,.
the American guy doesn't wash anything,
after he ate something, his dish was left in sink.


i know it depends on the person.
i found out Japan is very clean.
and japanese tend to like clean place.
it's interesting.
it broadens my horizons.


i have to get used to it
because it's difference of culture.
good experience for me...


after i cleaned up the bathroom,
i did my hw, and watched movie and DVD.

difference of culture

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is July 5th.


today,
i went to agency's office to meet my instructor.
she taught me what ever,
ex, grammer, tofle, toeic, what ever i want.


i was going to practice to listen and speak english through conversation.
but during conversation, i ended up being taught how to write cover letter,
(actually, i told my experience, and she made it based on my story.lol)


i was given great cover letter about me!
because she knows how to put it about my experience, and job.
it's looks cool.
i want you to watch it, lol


while we was making it(writing it),
we talked about the difference of culture.
In US, there is cover letter culture.
but in Japan, there is not.


cover letter is when you send a resume to the company you want to enter,
you have to send it with resume.


resume is written about your experience and skills,
cover letter is written about why you want to enter the company,
or how did you get these skills or why you are different from other person, like that.


but in japan,
we send a resume, and take a interview right?
it's different.


we talked about that,
it was really fun for me.


after that,
i met with my conversation partner.
we talked about why he likes japanese, also japan.
he feels kinda frustrated because of difference the culture or not.
what the difference btw japan and us.
why do i like knowing difference of culture.


today was also great time to spend!
today i was able to know about many culture story.
let me introduce about the one of them.
ugly guy can't be a fire-fighter.
it's required high education high performance high spec.
it's hard for me to be a firefighter in seattle.lol  



===================================

●i learned [range]
→練習場

(i said)where can i practice to shoot a gun?
(he)nooooooo, you don't shoot!
(i said)i know, but i heard we can shoot a gun safety at somewhere...
(he)oh, you mean shooting range?
(i said)range?
(he)do you know this meaning?
(i said)no.
(he)it means..{he gestured}
(i said)this is golf range!(打ちっぱなし)
(i said)gotcha .



●i learned [half-heartedly]
→気乗りしないで、いやいや

===================================

i love knowing the difference of culture!
it broden my horizons!

see ya!

【しゃべくリアン６】リアンのメンバーが合宿してたらしいです

どうも
こんにちは
大登です。


今週のテーマは、
【リアンの合宿のフィードバック】
・・・・
おれ行けてない笑



そんな僕は、
合宿に行けなかった悔しさを書いて。
という感じだったのですが、
ここは正直にかきます。


行きたかったですが、
悔しいと思う程じゃない。


というのが今の正直な気持ちです。


ですが、この合宿に限ったことでなく、
全ての日本で起こるイベントに言えることです。


僕はアメリカで充実した、
かけがえのない時間をすごしています。
大金をだしてもらって、
友人に送り出されて、
期待を胸いっぱいに背負って、
僕は今ここにいます。


だから、
「悔しい」と感じることはあってはならないし、
もしあるとするなら、僕はここでの生活の
何かを変えないといけません。


日本にいたらこんなイベントに参加できたのに悔しい。
これが意味することは、
僕がここでの時間を
最大限活用出来ていないことを意味します。
僕はそう感じます。
あってはならない。
あるはずもない。
多分起こりえない感情。
それが「後悔」です。



フィードバックとしていけることは無いですが、
ひとついいたいことがあります。


僕もこっちで精一杯やってます。
リアンのみんなも一生懸命なんやと思います。
楽しいは素敵です。写真も楽しそうでした。
でも楽しいだけで終わらないでください。
自分のぶれないなにかを探してください。
後付けでもいい。
合宿のさりげないことでも、
どんなことからでもいいので、
「これを学んだ。」


そういう言葉を言って欲しいです。
（自分に言い聞かせる気持ちで書いてます。）


みんなの日々の学びが、
実りあるものになりますよ〜に♪
後悔というワードが消えてしまうくらいにね。



Dear.ようちゃん！（関西リアン代表）
合宿を通して、
「何を学んだ？」



（７月は、リアンのメンバーの誰かに
質問を投げかけるシステムになったらしいです笑）
