今日はLafcadio Hearnの「日本の面影」について話をすることができました。昔の日本人は礼儀正しく、今まさしくハーンと同じ目線で、当時の明治の人々を尊敬の眼差しで見ることができます。Hans先生とのディスカッションはどんなトピックでもいつも正直で素直な意見を伝えることができるので、安心してレッスンを続けることができます。

Today's article was about China's declining population. Japan has a similar problem, and the retirement age is likely to rise from 65 to 70. So it is beneficial and fun to discuss various topics.

Today's lesson was about 'Japanese smile - Koizumi Yakumo (Lafcadio Hearn)'. His words are still beautiful and tell us the beliefs and attitudes of our Japanese ancestors. Unfortunately, we could only read part of it today, but I wanted to read the full article at his suggestion.

Today's article was about how people with a fixed concept can be creative with a different perspective. That's what happened to me, and I only had one point of view. Taking a bird's eye view from different perspectives is a clue to living a happy life. Thank you for always teaching me not only English but also to think about deep meaning.

Today's Daily News was "Walking every 30 minutes is good for your health". It was helpful information for me, who was always sitting.
Especially in the discussion part, Hans changed the questions to suit me, so it was a lot of fun, and the time flew by.

Today's lesson was an overview of ChatGPT, and I used it to write my Hamlet article to talk about it. It's a great tool to answer questions in English or Japanese for free. I'm glad to introduce it to him. I want to continue learning English using ChatGPT.

Today's lesson allowed us to discuss DeepL Write. You can see that you can do an excellent translation soon. And it's beneficial to see where and how you fixed it. However, I find it challenging to learn how to use it.
I look forward to talking about ChatGPT next time.

The best phrases we learned today are:
"It's about looking at yourself objectively and, at the same time, having the tolerance to accept outside information. Then everything you see and hear will profoundly affect you."
Thank you for today's great lesson.

it's a good lesson.

Lessons with Hans always give me discoveries. For example, today, we learnt about Runestone discoveries in Norway. I enjoyed getting to know the museum in Oslo and the Runestone words. We had a great time; not only did we learn more English, but also we increased our knowledge.

彼はとても賢く良いレッスンを提供することができます。彼は分からない単語やフレーズを詳しく説明してくれます。そしてもしあなたが希望するレッスンがあれば、それに合わせて彼は内容を柔軟に変更することもできます。He is very clever and can provide suitable lessons. He can explain in detail words and phrases you don't understand. And if there is a lesson you want, he is flexible to change the content accordingly.

Hans explains many new words and phrases in an obvious way. Discussions are also broad and deep, and you can honestly express a wide range of opinions. Thank you for your time!
