Shocked...! (Internship extra edition#23)

Hello, How are you today?

 Now I'm staying in Vientiane. Vientiane is the capital of Laos and people often say "the capital that doesn't anything to see and go." I knew it before getting to Laos and now I enjoy staying than I expected. 

 ...by the way, recently I realized certian thing. That is I cannot speak English even if I have not used for a week. to be more specific, I need long time to come up with the words. it must result from this week. I stayed in Bangkok with Japanese friend, and Thai friend I met was fluent in English, so I didn't have to speak English. Then I didn't write this blog because Internship has already finished.

 I experienced this before.  I really realized that It is important for everyone studying language to study "everyday."

 I made a list that must keep in my mind as follows, so I would appreciate if it helps you.

The list

asking for help

・sorry to bother you, but~.

・could I ask some question?

・What should I do the next/about it?

・I don’t completely understand it, so could you tell me what to do?

When I can't listen to what the other said

・sorry?

・Could you repeat it more?

・pardon?

・Could you speak it more slowly please?

・so you mean…

・so I should … shouldn’t I?

When I forget proper words

・How do I say?

・can’t come up with the word in English

When saying in some differnts words

・I mean…

・in other words,

・It’s like…

Others, the words must must come up with quickly.

・Is there ~? / do you have~?

・do you know wh~?

 Most of them are not difficult words and many Japanese learnd them by Junior high school. Thus I think we train, even Japanese can speak English more fluently (Just use easy and simple words).
