diary
journal
I have been wondering about the difference between "journal" and "diary" meaning.
Japanese people usually use "diary" for their writing daily things sentence. However I found that many English speakers use "journal" for that.
I read a dictionary and I understood like this;
"Journal" have a meaning of "writing things that happened around him, and thought of himself".
"Diary" have a meaning of "writing things that he felt himself, and it won''t be seen by other people".
I'm happy if someone tell me a nuances.

Just change your "Interface" from English to "Japanese" and look at the top of your page, where you'll find the word "日記" instead of "Journal."
We were taught that the English word for "日記" is "diary."
I also used "diary" in my English entries first because I didn't know that English speakers were using "journal" for that.

I read the definitionof a dictionary and this is what I understood like this:

"Diary" have has the meaning of "writing things that he felt himself, and it won''t be seen by other people".
I'd behappy if someone could tell methe nuances.
Diary derives from Latin (dies) which means a day.
Journal derives from French (journal) which means daily.
They are both meant to be something that one writes daily.
For some reasons, people tend to refer to Journal almost as a log of daily events and facts, while referring to Diary as a private log where one writes intimate facts or events.
But I used to wonder the same thing!
Thanks a lot!
I found my mistake and modified it.
