Special thanks...

Hi there! It is K-co(haha, bother! ← I got this word from "winnie the Pooh").

Well, I thought I would like to say "thank you so much" to everyone,
I have really enjoyed reading your exchange here (and sometimes felt
relief "oh there are many people have a similar trouble" haha),
...and you know especially I have to thank and really appreciate....
yes, Sakai-sense!, and Furukawa-san, Maria-san and Mariko-san.

I can say "extensive reading is the best (at least for me) and
speedy (at least for me as well) way to get English!"
I could say this in Japanese, but I am trying now...because I remember
what my friends said "how come you only use Japanese to your fellows???"
and this room has opened...

(I am really happy to see that this room is active!)

I have been corresponding with foreign friends for 4 years.
(first time, I really forgot almost all English I had learned and that was...awful!!!)
Before I started this way, my friends said me "your English
is getting better" or "good"...well, they are good friends actually! haha
Now they give me something difference words like...
"How come your English is so good? Have you ever studied abroad? You must have.
Otherwise your English can't be that good. You know what? It amazes me every time
I get a mail from you. Kumiko, who are you?"

HaHaHa! See, so I said "extensive reading is really great!!!"

Nova says "ekimae ryugaku", I think Sakai-sense!'s way is
"dokodemo ryugaku!" We can read an English book any time any place!

Anyway, I am sure I will continue this way with joy!
Thanks, and I wish you a happy new year!!!

Happy new year, K-co-san! Kian is speaking!

We (sss Osaka members) had a very nice off-line party last year,
and I want the next party to be held on the first day of the month.
Please come to Osaka and meet us!!!

Happy reading!!
