Hey this is Jared. Um, I started a new mixi group. It's called 英会話リスニング （MP3）.
Basically, you get a phrase of the day. I teach you something, um, very useful--something that I've heard a lot of people ask in my private English lessons. For example, the phrase yesterday was "mayou" and the phrase, uh, the day before yesterday was "mojibake."
Now, I want you to keep in mind something when you join this community,um... (by the way, you can join the community by clicking the link in this E-zine) But something I want you to keep in mind is that the phrases I teach you in this 毎日英会話一言 is--they're not...they're not necessarily "written" English--I'm trying to improve your spoken English ability. So, I want you to keep that in mind.
There are other ways to say these phrases. You know, there are a million and one ways to say 迷う、文字化け、 元気、anything !
That's OK! This is a learning experience. Just put the knowledge into your knowledge bank and.. have fun! ^_^
The End! ^_^
