Japanese Translation of "Your Song" by Elton John

Since long time, I've been very troubled which English songs I translate into Japanese. But, recently, I reminded "Your Song" by Elton John suddenly, when I was waiting for inoculating influenza vaccine and listening this song. It's not bad for me to translate this song into Japanese. It's a little bit funny (自分でもちょっとおかしいな) This feelin' inside (この心の感じは) I'm not one of those who can easily hide (僕は君に対して、簡単に隠せない思いを持っている) I don't have much money, but boy, if I did (僕にはそんなにお金もないが、できるならば買いたい) I'd buy a big house where we both could live (僕たちが一緒に住めるような大きな家を) If I was a sculptor, heh (僕が建築家だったらいいのに) But then again, no (でも重ねて言うけど、そうではない) Or a man who makes potions in a travellin' show, oh (あるいは流れ旅で皆を楽しませる男に過ぎない) I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do (不十分かもしれないが、それが僕ができる最高のことなんだ) My gift is my song and this one's for you (ああ君は、僕の歌そのもので、それは君のためにもあるんだ) And you can tell everybody (君はみんなに言えるはずだ) This is your song (これだけが君の歌なんだ) It may ...

Should I Learn Easy Japanese Rather Than English?

I want to also learn easy Japanese, because I want to communicate foreigners more and inform Japanese culture of them. But I couldn't find where I can learn easy Japanese in Miyagi. There is also a public flyer about easy Japanese. I heard, that the teacher of Japanese has become national qualification. Should I study qualification of the teacher of Japanese?
