テンプレはめんどくさいから、>>2以下で誰かやってください。

2017/12/11(月) 23:56:20.59

around me, no one talks about iphone8 or iphoneX.
i have never seen iphoneX yet.
it sold less than apple had expected didn't it?

2017/12/12(火) 00:00:09.87

i will have a job interview the day after tomorrow
but i haven't studied the company or thought about how i would present myself.
the reputation of the company on internet websites is quite bad
and it makes me reluctant to work on it.

2017/12/12(火) 00:02:34.91

oops it is past midnight which means i will have a job interview tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow...

I had to put that in a translator, and it said "bird aristocracy" so I still don't know what you mean.

>>558 >>560
Thanks for your concern guys. Everything is fine where I am, the fires aren't too nearby. The air
has been really dry, and sometimes it gets smoky outside if the wind blows my way. But I'm
not very close to where the fires actually are. Here is where I am: https://i.imgur.com/6O28wxa.png

>>561
I'm an android fanboy so I don't really pay attention to Apple. I don't know how the sales of the X
have been, but I can say my coworker got one and she really likes it.

>>562
I hope everything turns out ok!

**jook** ◆jook7sIb7g (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ bfd1-HquM) · 2017/12/12(火) 02:20:44.86

>>564
Ignore all the little yellow things with stars, in the big map. Those are just places
I saved on google, not the fires.

2017/12/12(火) 05:13:45.60

>>556
Things seem to go the way they want it to.
>>564
I've also searched the term and it might be bar catering grilled chicken.

I hope the wild fire will soon be put out.

2017/12/12(火) 08:00:53.03

**jook** ◆jook7sIb7g (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ bfd1-HquM) · 2017/12/12(火) 10:23:12.16

I live right under the "o" in Los Angeles on 171212075209.jpg
171212075205.jpg is actually really pretty

I have a friend who lives by Ventura (ベンチュラ) and has had the fire much closer.
Last Tuesday night, she shared a video on Facebook where she could see the light
of fires over the hill on the horizon, and the smoke there has been much worse.
As far as I know, she isn't in danger, but if the fire is close enough to see at night,
that isn't good.

**jook** ◆jook7sIb7g (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ bfd1-HquM) · 2017/12/12(火) 10:32:35.69

>>567
I didn't know that the fires were so bad that other countries are even talking about it.

2017/12/12(火) 12:02:25.90

>>557
I explained my friend 鳥貴族 means "noble chicken", and then he was surprised and he said it's a very cheap noble.

2017/12/12(火) 13:49:37.71

>>568
now i have watched the map that you uploaded
Ventura is just a little way from the fire!
there is a hill between your friend's house and the fire, .isnt there?
it's good that she is OK, though.
i can only pray for getting the fire under control at once.

now switching on CNN, it is broadcasting only about Pres. Tramp

.

2017/12/12(火) 19:11:17.63

It's extreme weather in both ways around the globe.
Some cities see heavy snow and other cities are suffering from dry and windy condition.
My town is completely covered by snow with almost 0 degree C temperatures.
This means temperature plummeted neary 30 degree in just three months.

2017/12/12(火) 19:50:14.95

>>572

such dry and windy condition also caused wildfire in LA to happen, didnt it?
it is true of the massive flood this summer
what's happening in North America this year?

2017/12/12(火) 20:18:29.23

It’s karma! They chose Trump for president. That’s why.

2017/12/12(火) 21:23:49.71

>>571
hummm...
As you said 鳥貴族 is strange name.
貴族　is for what in their opinion?

2017/12/12(火) 21:25:50.79

>>573
There were also devastating hurricanes there this summer.
Some attribute it to global warming.
I don't know whether it's true or not but it is clear that the climate is changing.

2017/12/12(火) 21:32:47.74

>>564
Take it easy man.

2017/12/12(火) 21:37:33.81

What a nice guy jook is

2017/12/12(火) 21:39:58.54

He is white. So he is a racist.

2017/12/12(火) 21:56:14.94

since october i have continued to practice driving a car (going to a driving school).
this saturday, i drove in a freeway at 50 miles per hour which mustn't be that fast for most drivers,
but i felt a little scared.
i was relieved i could drive back to the school safe.

**562** (ｱｳｱｳｴｰT Sadf-Y1z7) · 2017/12/12(火) 22:05:19.95

>>564
thank you.
one thing i always think is a problem is that however good the interviewer are,
you will not work "closely" with them after joining that company unless you are hired for managing position.
you will work closely with total strangers you didn't meet at the interview
and in some cases you can't get along with them at all.

2017/12/12(火) 22:14:53.60

I hate slow and holiday drivers. They piss me off!

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (USWW 0Hdf-MFkR) · 2017/12/12(火) 22:18:29.31

>>569
Ventura concerns Jesse Ventura.

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (USWW 0Hcf-MFkR) · 2017/12/13(水) 01:09:04.48

>>582
Why do you use i for I?

**jook** ◆jook7sIb7g (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ bfd1-HquM) · 2017/12/13(水) 02:18:45.31

>>571
Yes, there is a hill, but she saw the fire reach the top of the hill. It's crazy.
I think that part of the fire has died down though. She said the air has been a little
clearer this week. The wind changed.

>>573
We had an unusually rainy spring so lots of plants grew, and during the dry summer
and fall, all the little weeds and grass and stuff in the hills died and became dry.
That makes bad conditions for fires to easily spread.

>>576
You're thinking of Florida with the Hurricanes. It's still America, but it isn't related to
the fires in California.

>>580
Hang in there! You'll get used to it. I remember when I was learning and 30mph felt fast.

>>581
That is definitely true. All you can do is hope that the interviewer thinks about how your
personality will fit with the people you're going to work with.

2017/12/13(水) 03:35:52.09

Yes,I know it's completely unrelated.
He talked about floods and its cause, then hurricanes and global warming come across my mind.
It's been unusually severe natural hazardz.

2017/12/13(水) 04:40:34.54

soooooo shiverrrrrr

2017/12/13(水) 08:00:37.86

Sometimes I wonder if American native speakers can perfectly understand what british people speak with their own thick english accent.

https://youtu.be/SUZyNLZZjMs

Hey jook, could you watch this and tell me how well did you understand what the actors said in the movie? Maybe can you tell out of 100%？The video lasts
For me, I could catch only the words of "fuc○ing" even though I've studing english 5 years and fairly understand american english. British english is freaking hard to listen to.

2017/12/13(水) 08:56:55.57

>>589
But,english is the langage of england
as you see the speling.

The argue is a little bit of nonsense.

2017/12/13(水) 09:21:01.04

I donno why this guy is replying to himself

**jook** ◆jook7sIb7g (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ bfd1-HquM) · 2017/12/13(水) 09:24:14.14

>>588
In the first scene, that guy has a really thick Scottish accent. Nobody can understand a thick
Scottish accent like that. I understood maybe 30-40%.

Then the narrator talks. Ewan McGregor is Scottish too but his accent is much milder. I can
understand him perfectly.

The next man has a thicker accent again, but not as bad as the first guy. but I can still
understand him fine. However, I am a bit familiar with Scottish people anyway so I
didn't have trouble understanding him. I can definitely see how it would be hard.

Then we have Ewan McGregor narrating again. He's easy.

Then back to the first guy. I could understand him this time because I was more prepared for it.
He said, "Right! Nobody move! That lassie got blasted, no cunt leaves here til we find out what cunt
did it."

Since I already watched the whole video, I thought maybe I would be used to the accent, so I tried
watching the first scene again. I couldn't understand any more, still about 30-40%.
see how it would be difficult for some people though.

**jook** ◆jook7sIb7g (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ bfd1-HquM) · 2017/12/13(水) 09:45:57.81

>>591
Ignore the last line, it came from nowhere.

2017/12/13(水) 12:21:59.49

>>591
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I was so curious about it.

2017/12/13(水) 14:29:05.81

The usual gaijin stinks. It needs to be purged with an anti-virus soap!

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (US 0Hdf-gKiJ) · 2017/12/13(水) 15:17:31.54

>>588
I'm an American, and I can understand about 90% of the first guy, 100% of the narrator, and 100% of the second guy.
The understanding isn't perfect; some of the words I couldn't give you a definition of, but given the context I can fill in the blanks and get a good idea of what was the intention.
I've found that English speakers generally can understand a wide range of accents, but really thick ones that have a unique lexicon and morphology can require getting used to.
For example, I had a professor in university that had a really thick Indian accent which I could not understand for about two weeks, but
after having classes with him for that amount of time I could start to make sense of what he was saying.

Shitaraba blocks all foreign IPs, unfortunately.

I just don't get why xenophobic dudes like you would ever want to come to this thread.
What did you expect?

2017/12/13(水) 15:49:08.14

Another gaijin! I almost had a heart attack...

2017/12/13(水) 17:56:46.41

>>598

2017/12/13(水) 19:18:43.15

>>599
You’re fine. I was referring to >>595. Too many gaijins lately here and at my gym...

Too latin looking gaijins which are speaking loudly in Spanish right now. So annoying and stinky af.

Just for fun.
Coz here is for chatting.
That's all.

2017/12/13(水) 20:30:32.49

i heard nothern westerners think japanese winter is so cold because japanese home usually use air conditioner or kotatsu
instead of central heating.
is that real?

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (GB 0H0b-Nf6k) · 2017/12/13(水) 20:59:05.77

>>608
when i stay my parents home in japan in winter
i'm quite surprised the bathroom is quite cold.
it's kinda unbearable.

2017/12/13(水) 21:08:39.99

>>609
are you an englishman/woman?
when did you feel cold using toilet or taking off clothes for shower?

2017/12/13(水) 21:34:52.75

>>608
Don’t post such a question, please. The usual annoying baka gaijin will answer the question in a snobbish and condescending way. Like always.

Disgusting....

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (USWW 0Hdf-MFkR) · 2017/12/13(水) 23:07:24.68

>>612
Question?
Where is the question?

2017/12/14(木) 02:29:41.91

The more l learn, the more l feel the gap between the 1st and 2nd languge.
It' not hard to understand conversations from faint sound of the radio in the first language,
but I need clear sound in English.
This is because it's difficult to predict what they say and guess the words if I cannot hear some parts.
This become especially clear when I hear somethng completely unpredictable like >>588.

Anway, it's too cold!
What's this temperature!
It's still December according to the calender...

**名無しさん＠英語勉強中** (USWW 0Hea-pGvb) · 2017/12/14(木) 11:44:33.37

>>614

December makes us cold usually.

I can’t stand the existence of gaijins.

2017/12/14(木) 15:59:45.22

>>614
Why do you refer to the wrong number?
You should have mentioned >>613 in >>614 post.
You seem to do it on purpose, but why?
Even though we are allowed to write whatever we want,
it's somewhat confusing.

2017/12/14(木) 16:13:57.53

You keep writing same things endlessly.
This corroborates you've made mistakes intentionary.
thus unfortunately I have no choice but to add you to NG list.

All studying English is based on it.

I don' think so.
When you speak other europian language
You need to study and take grammer.
But,In the case of english that's not needed.

Some people consistently argue that tuition for University should be free for all. I'm strongly against it. Taxpayers money should be focused on the brilliant students such as by helping them study abroad.
The decreasing number of Japanese students studying in the US is staggering. It has already surpassed by most Asian countries. This must be addressed.
It is also completely needless to give money to affluent students. That just balloons the deficit.
I hope more and more students can have the opportunity to learn abroad.

2017/12/16(土) 13:28:02.32

So-called F-ranked universities all over Japan should be closed for good. Oops I’m a graduate of those lol

2017/12/16(土) 18:10:02.60

>>657
>> Np, you can see a declining birth rate trend in Japan😅
Many universities would be closed.

I can't read books in English for teen because probably I have less than 5000 words vocabulary 💦
I want to learn words.
Are there any vocabulary books in English to English you would recommend?

2017/12/16(土) 20:15:58.05

>>657
Are you the one who was talking about a Tokyo uni graduate brother?
Anyway, I agree with you. F-rank unis are used to gather cheap foreign labor disguised as overseas students. They should be closed asap.

I've been enlightening people about lifelong learning and homecooking.
Someone in this thread was talking about buying sliced cabbage at a store, but he should try it by himself.
Slicing a cabbage is very easy and kinda fun. It feels good.
