リチャードの英会話ビデオ： genkienglish.net This is my weekly video lesson for Japanese students of English. I uploaded it here as I thought you might like to hear me speaking Japanese! Usually I present a "phrase of the week" to learn ( eg genkienglish.net ) but this one is an "urawaza" a trick to help you learn languages. This one's very simple, before you go to sleep on a night, re-tell the story of your day and record it. eg I woke up at 9. Took the train. Ate breakfast. Met a beautiful girl etc. But you guys do it in Japanese! (Obviously students in Japan will do it in English). It's a great way to learn language that applies to your everyday situation. The trick is to record you speaking what you did today - even put it up on Youtube! If there's something you don't know how to say, just ask your Japanese teacher and use it in the following week. Do this everyday for a month and you'll be able to hear for yourself how much you have improved! I'll tell you what, I'll open this one up for video responses of you recounting your daily life in Japanese. I'm sure my Japanese students would love to hear them! There are more specific hints for learning Japanese here: www.genkienglish.net And here's the version I wrote for students in Japan: genkienglish.net (this one's actually a full ebook!) Lots more videos of Tokyo to come too! be genki, Richard
