32【Alissa】My new hobby Ukulele

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/11/22

I bought a ukulele 4 years ago, but it has just been collecting dust in my closet. Practicing the ukulele was one of the things I’ve been meaning to do but never got around to. Finally, I bit the bullet, and got the ball rolling. I want to play the ukulele because I want to sing. I love singing. I used to go to karaoke and just sing for 6 hours straight, but these days I don’t go often. I just sing at home while listening to music. I was always jealous of people who can play guitar and sing at the

31【MinMin】An Ideal Holiday⛰

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/11/18

I had a wonderful day last Monday. My older daughter had a substitute holiday which meant it was just the two of us, so we looked forward to it. We went to Mt. Takao which is the only mountain in Tokyo. It is 599 meters high, which I think is just the right height for us to climb. It ended up taking 75 minutes to reach the top. According to the official information, Mt.Takao generally takes an hour and a half to reach the summit. I bragged to her that last time I came it took me only 50 minutes to

30【Etsuko】My younger sister Kumiko

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/11/16

My younger sister is Kumiko. She is a very unique and interesting person. Kumiko and my youngest sister Mieko were close in age. Mieko was very strong but Kumiko was born prematurely, so they grew up like twins. Kumiko wasn’t good at sports and even gave up learning to ride a bicycle because she had no sense of balance. One time they were playing in front of our apartment and were almost hit by a car. Mieko quickly jumped out of the way, but Kumiko was too slow and uncoordinated to dodge it

29【Yuttan】Walking along the beach

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/11/11

It’s neither hot nor cold - the best season for exercising! So I started taking walks along the beach again. I drive to the nearest Beach and park the car at a free parking lot. There are many people who go windsurfing and paddle boarding, so luckily the parking lot is big enough to accommodate everyone. The beach has nice paths that are separated for walking and cycling. So it’s the perfect place to go for a stroll. It feels good to walk by the sea, and depending on the weather, you can see

28【Etsuko】Hair Salon

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/11/10

Don't you think it's difficult to find a hair salon and stylist that suits you, and that you can continue to go to long term? What is the most important thing for you when choosing a new hair salon? Location? Fee? Reputation? It has been a huge challenge for me throughout my life! When I was in my 20s I used to go to a small salon in my hometown that a male stylist managed. My youngest sister recommended it, and even now I think it was the best. The stylist was gentle and kind, and had amazing

27【YumiMETAL】🤘 The Best day of my Life

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/11/07

I went to the Night Ranger 40th anniversary show in Osaka Japan. This American band has been playing Metal for 40 years. Can you believe that? Their performance on stage was still amazing. It was a throwback to the 80s! Actually, they made me love Hard Rock and get into Heavy Metal. This band has had a special place in my heart for 40 years. So I decided to attend an event where fans can take group photos with the band members. I put on my favorite long sleeve shirt that was designed by Ebuchi. "Oh

26【Etsuko】Palau

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/11/01

Palau is a beautiful and natural island nation located in the Pacific Ocean. The recommended activity for snorkeling in Palau is to go to a point by boat and jump off the boat then drift with the current. The boat moves ahead of the ocean current, so you get back on the boat using a ladder. The current was strong, the sea was clear, and the coral was alive and beautiful in blue, purple, and yellow. While we were enjoying snorkeling, my mother and sister were spending a nice and cozy day at the spa

25【Hituji】Making Abe cringe

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/31

When Hana said “To express Abe with a simple word, he is a genius! Because his communication skills are amazing.” I agreed with her opinion. You’ve worked in a customer service department when you were a teenager. Generally, it’s quite a difficult job for even an adult. Somebody asked you to do that job, I guess that means you were already good at communication and prepared. You are naturally very empathetic, and also really good at choosing proper expressions for the situation. You often figure out

Hello!! My name is Rumi, Do you like English? My best subject is English. Learning foreign languages is interesting for me. I got a good mark in the last term-exams. My worst subject is PE. Doing physical exercise is not easy for me. We have two mid-term-exams and three term-end exams a year. And we sometimes have five minutes tests. I’m happy when they are over.

23【Etsuko】Dolphins

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/26

I love dolphins. Of course you can see the dolphins in the aquarium but there are several places in the world where you can swim with them. I will never forget the time I spent swimming with dolphins. Palau has a facility that keeps dolphins by damming part of the sea for dolphin research. After giving a lecture on the dolphin biology to pre-booked guests. You can briefly interact with the dolphins according to your swimming ability. My mother and sister wore life jackets and were waiting for them

22【YumiMETAL】🎃What is Halloween?

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/24

Currently, young Japanese people get excited about Halloween costumes. But wait... What exactly is Halloween? It sounds familiar but I'm not really sure, so I researched it. According to the article, Celts (currently Irish) had a tradition which celebrates the fall harvest and use costumes to drive away evil spirits. In the 19th century, many Irish immigrated to the United States, so it spread there. Tokyo Disneyland held an event which adapted Halloween culture to Japan. After that, it spread all

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/23

It’s so funny to hear your エブッちゃった stories on podcasts. But I make clumsy mistakes maybe even more than you! Small things happen every day. For example, forgetting what I want to take out of the refrigerator the moment I open it. Another one which happens a lot is “Oh! I got to go to hang up the laundry!” and when I go to the washing machine and take a look, I find nothing inside, then I realize “Oh! I forgot, I already did it!”. I microwave a cup of milk every day, and sometimes soon after I think

20【MinMin 】Games are supposed to be Fun

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/23

In my tennis lessons, I feel like my skills are dragging behind the rest of the class. I wanted to be better, or at least around the same level as everyone else. I thought if I practice more than anyone else does, I could get to their level… But my positioning and form are still off, and my ball often flies to the wrong side or out of bounds. The other day I got overwhelmed and I almost cried in the class! I always thought that practice and effort are the key to improvement, but it seems different

19【Yuttan】 Charging at the Aeon

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/22

I always see cars charging in the parking lot at Aeon. I thought it’s free because I know there are many solar panels on the roof of the huge Aeon mall. So one day I tried to charge my car there. I plugged my car in at the charging station and went shopping. After shopping I tried to remove the cord… Bu~~~~~t I couldn’t! It made me panick! How am I supposed to go home?? My car seemed to be arrested by Aeon! “OK, Yuttan, Calm down! Let’s figure this out” I thought to myself… I found a machine like a

18【YumiMETAL】My Heavy metal journy

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/21

When I was a high school student, I listened to pop. One day I heard "Separate Ways" by an American band, JOURNEY. I thought it was such a cool song! After that, I got into heavy music. LA-metal was very popular in the 80s. Out of all these, I liked MOTLEY CREW best. I went to the JUDAS PRIEST show in 1987. It was my first time to watch a Heavy metal performance. Heavy guitar riff, scream and head-banging... I was really crazy about it. There were many cool metal bands in the 80s. I liked ACCEPT,

17 【Etsuko】 Tahiti

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/20

My husband and I went to Tahiti on our first overseas trip in 1998. Immigration was very laid-back, and we were surprised by the huge Paul Gauguin paintings and the giant ceiling fans. We stayed at Moorea island. To get there, we had to take a 40-minute domestic flight from the main island. One of our best memories from the trip was when we met a French woman while we were sea-kayaking from Moorea to an uninhabited island. She told us she was working for a luxury hotel in Moorea and that it was her

I went to a meet-up in Sendai. At first I didn’t have the courage to go to a gathering of people I barely know, but thanks to Abe and Etsuko, I felt comfortable enough to join and before I knew it, it felt like I was flying to the moon!! There were wonderful people, and tasty food, it was like I was in heaven! Also, because I had a hotel nearby, it was fun to be able to participate in the second party without worrying about time. The next day I went to Matsushima with a group of people from the

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/19

A couple of days ago, when I took the laundry out of the washing machine, I noticed that all clothes got damaged. It was like some tiny pieces of paper sticking to everything. I started yelling ”someone did something terrible! This is unforgivable! I saw this coming. You guys always blah bah bah…” Finally I found the tissue package which was quite worn out in the washing machine. It was my younger daughter’s. She always has tissues in her pocket, because it’s one of her kindergarten’s rules

14【MinMin】What is Fluent Speaker..

English Learners Club(ELC) ·

2022/10/19

It’s probably not enough, but somehow I can communicate and express myself in English now. Despite this, whenever I listen to native speaker’s, I tell myself that I can never speak like them. But it’s immediately followed by another thought. I ask myself, if it's Korean, can you speak just like that? My answer is No. I saw a Korean who spoke English fluently, and when he spoke Korean it was also very logical and impressive. This fact blew me away. No matter which language, speaking is based on
