こんにちは〜 仙台のプライベートな英会話講師＆翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は：All English Happy New Year everybody. I thought I’d write one of these all English updates around the beginning of the new year to talk about New Year’s resolutions in general and what mine are. Do you have a resolution this year? Do you usually have a resolution? In the past I rarely made New Year’s resolutions and, to be honest, felt that they were mostly unnecessary. I always felt that you should live your life so that you don’t

こんにちは〜 仙台のプライベートな英会話講師＆翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は：All English Hello everyone! Merry Christmas! Sorry about the lack of updates, I’ve been pretty busy lately. Did you all have a great Christmas? I did. We had KFC, cake and beer. These days I really appreciate Japanese style Christmas. When I first moved to Japan I thought Japanese Christmas was weird. But these days I really enjoy the simplicity of it. Christmas in America is such a huge event that becomes exhausting. It’s also ex

こんにちは〜 仙台のプライベートな英会話講師＆翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は：All English Hi. I think it’s about time I wrote another update in English. This time I’d like to talk about a really great TV show on Netflix and a fantastic movie that I saw recently. The show is called “Stranger Things”. It’s hugely popular in the states and the second season just came out on Netflix. It’s about a group of boys who are terrorized by some kind of demons from another dimension. It’s awesome and it takes place in the

おはようございます！ 仙台のプライベート英会話講師&翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は: All English おはようございます！ 仙台のプライベート英会話講師&翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は: All English Hi! It’s been a little while since my last all English update so I thought I’d write a little about my favorite holiday, Halloween. If you’ve never experienced Halloween in the US, it’s wonderful. Almost everyone participates in Halloween; people decorating their houses, restaurants serving special dishes, tv shows showing special spooky Halloween episodes, and mor

こんにちは〜 仙台のプライベート英会話講師&翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は:All English Good evening! It's been a while since I've written an All English blog so I thought I'd write one. Anyway, tonight I think I'd like to talk about my biggest pet peeve. Does everyone know what a "pet peeve" is? It's something that really annoys you. Generally, it's something that other people do that makes you angry or irritated. For example, some people hate when others talk on the phone while riding the train. Others hate

こんにちは〜 仙台のプライベート英会話講師&翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は: All English Hi! It's been about a week or two since I wrote a blog update in only English. Today I'd like to talk about something very special to me that many people, mostly in Japan, don't understand. Tattoos As many of you know, I have a lot of tattoos. I have tattoos on my arms, legs, and chest. Not only that, I plan to get more tattoos in the future. I love tattoos and I consider myself a collector of tattoos. So, I think many o

こんにちは〜 仙台のプライベート英会話講師＆翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は：All English So, it's been a while since I wrote one of these all english blog updates. In fact, I think this may be only the second one! I promise I'll write more of these in the future! Anyway, the reason that I decided to write an all english update is because yesterday something very special happened. I got permanent residency! These is a really big deal. All foreigners that live in Japan for a long time, or forever, want to get perma

こんにちは〜 仙台のプライベート英会話講師&翻訳者デイブです。 今日の話題は: All English 今日からたまに上級者向けの英語だけのブログを書きたいと思います。日本語の説明は追加しないのでわからない言葉や表現の意味を自分で調べなければなりません。 Hey. This is my first all-English blog update so I thought I'd talk a little about one of my favorite things: video games. As many of you know, I love video games. I have loved them since I was a child and I will continue to enjoy them, hopefully with my son when he's older. There are a lot of people that feel that games are fairly childish. But
