About me

Hello. I'm a retired English teacher. My hobbies are chorus and Lang-8. I'm interested in a lot of areas, such as politics, social affairs, international relations, religion, language learning, linguistics, education, and so forth. I hope I can make many friends here. I enjoy correcting Japanese learners' sentences written in Japanese, so don't hesitate to become friends with me. I write journals here from time to time, but unfortunately I cannot get as many viewers and correctors as I wish. I hope you will read my journals and leave even a minor corrections or suggestions, which I will greatly appreciate.
