It's me, Taamyu.
My neam is Taeko, though. There is no Japanese name as Taamyu
I just leave my message to say hello and "nice to meet you"
Hope we'll keep in touch
I want to "go back" to England as soon as possible.

Hello Taeko

Your English is very good, much better than my Japanese ... did you learn at school or when you visited over in England??

Nice to hear from you and I'm sure we'll keep chatting

Hiya Karen,
We, Japanese kids, started learning Egnlish from 12 years old as a first foreing language. now the year has turned to elementary children's age It's too much. They don't know/use our own language properly

The problem of our English education, they don't learn functional English. But even the ministry has changed the carricuram, s can't speak/listen English.

I studied English Literature (esp Wuthering Heights) at Univesity.
In those time my functional English was worse than now.
When I was 26 I finally went to England and improved spoken/lisening English, I suppose. But I'm not any confident on myself nor on my English still now

Karen are you working at midnight?

Well, I'm sure chatting on here will help your English ...

I'm not working, I'm at home at the moment but I'm just about to go to bed as I've got to be up early for work tomorrow

It's been nice chatting to you Taeko and perhaps we can do it again another day

goodnight ... take care

Have a Sweet Dream, Karen .
Really lovely to chat you
See you soon

Taeko

How was weekend?
I didn't anything but having a nap

We had a firework festival nere here tonight
I'm "firephobea", so I don't like firework It lasted over 2 hours with big sound BOMBINB

Hi Taeko

Sorry I missed you earlier ... I had just settled down for a few minutes in The Shoppe when a friend and her little boy turned up for a ... it was good to see them and now they have gone so I can come back on-line for a while

I had a quiet weekend ... visited my parents and did lots of housework ... nothing too exciting.

Your firework fesitval sounds exciting but I can understand you not liking fireworks ... I have 2 girls and neither of them like them much either - they used to be frightened of the noises when they were little

Well, I'm just going to make another .... and I'm sure I can find you some bourbons if you're still around ...

speak soon

Hi Karen
I burnt my hands slightly with toy fireworks when I was 2-3-year-old girl So, that's my traumatic firephobea
It looks beautiful, but the smell, and the temperature that I feel when I did play firework made me scared.
So, I avoid people who enjoy doing fireworks

And the big fireworks, too. The sound make me scared


It's 00.34 here. Yup the date has changed here
I'll go to soon, Karen. Have a Lovely time

Chat soon

Taeko

ok Taeko

you sleep well ... hope things are cooler there now so you will get a good night ... maybe I'll still be here later when you get up again

chat soon,

Kare

chat soon
Hope you'll understand my horrible English



Taeko

I look forward to chatting again Taeko

Your English is very good not horrible ... much better than my Japanese ...

sleep well

Karen
It has been over one month since I posted you last
for not getting touch with you earlier, as I've been busy and been in low(mentally very depressed) time to time
Now I feel better and regain my energy a little bit

told me that you were fine
Hope you enjoy your weekend

Tomorrow is our bank holiday , but I'll help my friend's moving in early afternoon. Then I'll go to teach children English the following day
I'm very sorry for them that s will learn very bad English But we enjoy a lot, so who cares

How about you? Have you got something exciting this weekend?
Well, I'll keep in touch with you. So please do for me, too

Take Care and Enjoy yourself!
Love
Taeko

hallo Taeko

nice to hear from you again but I'm sorry you haven't been feeling so good lately ... sometimes it's difficult to pick yourself up again I know, so I'm glad that you're feeling better

It doesn't sound as if you're going to have much time to yourself on your Bank Holiday ... by the time you've helped your friend move and taught your English class the day will be gone

I've had a nice quiet weekend ... my daughters have spent the weekend with their Dad so I have been able to please myself. I haven't done anything very exciting but it's sometimes nice to do nothing in particular I think. Still 2 weeks before I go to see Chris again ... the time seems to be going very slowly

Well, I must get to bed now - back to work in the morning ... good to hear from you again Taeko, take care of yourself

Karen
