Так здорово, когда возникает ощущение радости за кого-то другого. Как будто я сама еду в Японию! Маша, надеюсь, что вопреки любимой теме И.К.Ск., тебе там понравится и это будут незабываемые 5 лет (а может даже и больше потом, кто знает, как все получится!)

Oh. It happened again. I decided to delete my previous blog (the longest blog I've ever have for the time being) and start the new one. The previous blog was messy, useless and there were a lot of 泣き虫　(cry-baby) posts. I hope that this one will be more structured at least. Also I came to a conclusion that I have to write some posts in English (although it's a bit rusty). Just to practise it. Shame on me for making a lot of silly and stupid mistakes! But the only effective way to study language is to use it, right?
So a decided to face with my fear of making mistakes. And here are some inspirational quotes about learning foreign English:

❝To have another language is to possess a second soul.❞‒Charlemagne

❝I like the word "indolence." It makes my laziness seem classy. ❞ - Bern Williams
❝Knowledge of languages is the doorway to wisdom. ❞ - Roger Bacon

❝The limits of my language are the limits of my world.❞‒Ludwig Wittgenstein

❝Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can; there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.❞‒Sarah Caldwell

❝If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.❞‒Nelson Mandela

❝One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.❞‒Frank Smith
