Cavalier Lily's DiaryStudying Japanese and English (2017/08/25)
I'm studying English by listening to conversations at ESL Cyber Listening Lab, which my father recommended.
You will take notes and answer five questions based on the conversation recorded in those notes.
According to my father, by repeatedly learning correct pronunciation and grammar...Philippine English.Apparently, this is a way to study so that you don't end up like that.

I can't write quickly enough to call it shorthand yet, so I'll pause the playback as I write.

If I encounter a word I don't understand, I look up its meaning in the Oxford English-English Dictionary on my electronic dictionary before moving on.
Finally, you finish by pronouncing the English you've written down, paying attention to the correct pronunciation.
This is an exercise in writing down 'aiueo, aiueo', which I have prepared.
Next, I'll turn to the 'Learn the Japanese alphabet by voice', which I bought for Gigi 10 years ago.
The included 'Practice Notebook - Write over and over again!' card helps students practice the correct stroke order and writing neatly.
This material is laminated and has Japanese text lightly printed on it, so you can write on it and erase it as many times as you like with a whiteboard marker.
I bought this 'Japanese 1-2-3' book for Gigi 10 years ago, but now it's become a study book for Jinny and Julia.
If there's a picture, I can somehow pronounce it without making a mistake.
Jinny has mostly memorized the Japanese alphabet (aiueo). However, she struggles with katakana.
Julia first writes it down in Roman letters in her notebook and then translates it into Japanese.
