Picking Up Speedwriting Again After Decades (En)
There, I learned not only English conversation but also how to write resumes and cover letters in English—and even studied speedwriting. It was a win-win system: the school trained people with no prior secretarial experience and introduced them to foreign companies free of charge. Speedwriting turned out to be very helpful before Windows became widespread, and thanks to that, I was able to land a job as an executive secretary at an Italian company.
Six years ago, during a major cleanup, I cleared out a room that had basically turned into a storage space. For some reason, I had held on to my old shorthand textbook and graded practice sheets. Back then, I would listen to church messages, translate them into English, and take notes in English shorthand as practice.
The other day, I glanced at the textbook and was surprised at how much I still remembered. I considered just throwing it away, but then it occurred to me that, since my listening skills are weak, even jotting down a few notes might help. So, for the first time in decades, I’ve started practicing with that pink textbook again—it's about 360 pages long.
There are 20 lessons in total, and as of today, I’ve reached Lesson 16. Somehow, I’m really starting to enjoy it. 😀

Pets That Cross the Rainbow Bridge (En)
The Bible doesn’t clearly tell us whether animals go to heaven. Still, since all creatures were made by God, I told the brother in the Lord that I believe his pet is resting peacefully in God’s arms, and I prayed that the Lord would comfort his heart.

私は語学アプリの Duolingo で英会話を学んでいます。初級から始めてしまったので易しいと思っていたのですが、時々意味が分からなくて焦ったりしています。やはり日常的に英語を話す機会がないので、生きた英語の表現や(知識として知っておくべき)スラングなどには弱いです。 つい先日、...
