SPIRIT's Diary

In my church, there was "circle for praying" today. There is also "status report and praying with English", so I joined this circle with foreigners. I was very tensioned because it's first time for me to praying with English. I couldn't listen English talking of other foreigners. But I could inform, that I want to increase revenue of my pharmacy and contribute my president. Nobody except me had joined the English praying circle. But if I don't join this circle, nobody won't join this circle. And I wouldn't win the peer of my church which works in JICA forever. She has worked in JICA, so her experience communicating with foreigners is far more than me. I want to watch various things of Japan and the world, and I want to inform Japanese culture such as Hakkenden. I can't dismiss this experience. After it, I ate salmon-rice as lunch in my church. It was very delicious!

It's said JICA is flamed now. One of my peers in my church works in JICA, so I wanted talked about it with her, but I couldn't do it. She can speak with foreign peer of my church very well and shiny. I want to become like her. From my experience, the best way to improve English ability is using English thoroughly. As Dragon Sakura 2 pointed out, most of Japanese don't use English, so they can't improve English. I've also learned English by writing English in this blog and SNS, such as Experimental English Outgoing. In EXPO 2025, English is written in exhibition. I think, that we shouldn't care of be called "Americanized". Because we can learn language by using it. I want to learn English more, and inform Japanese culture of foreigners, such as Hakkenden.

I decided to focus on caring before taking cataract surgery of my right eye. So I skipped attending the worship of my church today. I have to put Cravit eye drops 4 times a day. It's so troubling. So I have to stay at home today. While such day, I've continued to use PixAI. I made video of an illustration made by Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) This illustration is the base of the video. I was surprised because technology of AI system has progressed such degree. Someday, everyone makes illustrations and animes, by using AI.

In my church, yesterday was Easter Festival. With eating Hayashi Rice, I talked with foreigners more than usual. On second thoughts, I understand I can learn language by using more times. Of course, it's the best if I can speak English smoothly with native pronuncication. But, in my present condition, I can talk with foreigners moderately with English. It's better, not the best. Of course, I've not spoken my ambition to foreigners yet. My ambition is that I inform Japanese culture such as Hakkenden of more foreigners. But I'm embarrassed to speak it to others. General speaking, it's difficult for me to make foreigners in my church become interested in Hakkenden. Should I speak that Hakkenden may be similar to Super Sentai/Power Rangers? Anyway, I have to improve my English ability more. In quota about studying English, I could accomplish it every day, within the morning. I have to continue it.

Yesterday, I went to the church. It was good for me to talk a foreigner by speaking English. This foreigner, a black man, has become a regular of church.   But today's theme, Abraham clan's rise, wasn't very understandable. I managely understood that Abraham was a chozen one by Lord.   But, the staff of the church made curry. It was spicy, but very delicious. I was perspiring.
