DMM 英会話 44日目

Today's topic is about traffic jam. I heard congestion in manila has become a big problem from many teachers. There is only one line of train, so it takes about 2 or 3 hours to get a train. Though sometimes the train stops accidentally, people have to walk on the rail to nearest station.

I have drinking party with my colleague; all of engineers in my company, for celebrating launch of lapras.com.

Today we talk about Google's new game platform, called Stadia. I'm a game player, and she is also playing games on smartphone, so we can talk each other for fun. We are talking about how the game will be in 50 years. We expect it to be like super VR, which is we feel like to be in the gaming world, like hunting animals and feeling pain, and so on. I hope it come true.

Today's topic is about air pollution. We are talking about pollution and environment. When I answer to the question "If you were the leader of your country, what would you do to help protect the environment?", I said that breaking our environment is destiny, so I would not help to protect the environment. To hear that, teacher looks sad and teach me quietly that we have to protect the environment.

By the way, today we our company launched the new product: lapras.com . This is for software engineers, and they can see how you are looked by internet users. For more detail, we gather the information from SNS, for example, tweets in Twitter, posts in Qiita, events in connpass etc, and show them to theirselves. We could make a big impact. I'm really happy to launch it.

Today's lesson is very valuable, because the words in vocabulary list are what I want to know:

  • congestion
    • e.g. Traffic congestion is becoming a big problem on this highway.
  • rush hour
    • e.g. I always leave work a little early to avoid rush hour.
  • commute
    • e.g. Many people commute by car and bus.

I had some times to introduce my commute or our traffic system, though I couldn't express well. Before I know the word "commute", I explain it "when I go to office from my home". Today I remember very convenient word!

The first lesson of Serbian teacher. Today's topic about electric car. In Serbia, about half of cars are Japanese maker's. I'm glad to hear that.

Today's surprising is there are no words and idioms which means "paper driver". I know "paper driver" is Japanese-English, but I thought there was some expression also in English.

By the way, I cooked dinner with my wife. I really don't like cooking, but I tried. She and her parents told me that it's better if you could cook, considering taking care of children in the future. If we cook together, I can cook with talking. It's not boring, better than cooking alone obviously.

Today's teacher is not concentrated on the lesson. While learning vocabulary, she was writing the lesson note: teachers must write a summary after finishing lesson. Therefore sometimes she read the same sentence again, OMG. During conversation she listens what I said and replies well, no problem at this point.

The words my pronunciation is not good are following:

  • machine
  • recognition
  • labor
  • faces
  • currently

Especially "currently" is difficult to me.

Today's teacher is not so fun, because after I answer the question she doesn't reply and doesn't say her opinion not so often. I want to have conversations and share our opinions
