I've attended an English conversation class for a year. I had the opportunity to talk in English for one hour a week. I can understand TIME magazine and listen to the TV news, but it's hard to speak English with easy words like "get", "make", "come", , , and also hard to listen to colloquial English. I can hardly follow the comments made by baseball players after an exciting game. They speak rapidly and use informal or slang English.
At any rate, my teacher decided to go back to the U.S. after 18 years' stay in Japan. Today was his informal farewell party that was held by his class. Though the formal one will be held on 29th sponsored by the school, I will be flying over the Pacific ocean at that time on the way back home from Vancouver and I can't make it to the party.
I wish him success in his new business and we'll see each other again some day.
