You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
先週末、子供と電車を見に行く途中、外国人の友達に声をかけられた。
When I was at Omiya Station with my son to watch trains last weekend, we unexpectedly ran into my American friend.
突然の出来事だったにも関わらず、思った以上にすんなりと会話ができた。
Even though it happened so suddenly, I was surprised at how fluently I was able to speak to her in English.
前回、エージェントとの電話ではボロボロだったのに、うまく話せたのでうれしかった。やっぱり自分の英語力が衰えているわけではなかった。
When I had a phone call with my recruitment consultant recently, my English was terrible, and the conversation didn’t go well. But today, I felt confident and was really happy to realize that my English-speaking skills haven’t declined after all.
ところで、友達と英語で話す姿に、息子が興味を示してくれた。新幹線に乗ってる間も、席が離れたわたしの友達のこと、彼のわからない言語で話していたことを何度も質問してきた。
By the way, my son was very curious about the conversation I had with my American friend. While we were on the Shinkansen, he kept asking me questions about who she was and what we talked about since he couldn’t understand our conversation.
こうして、少しずつ英語に興味を持ってくれるとうれしい。
It would make me so happy if he gradually develops an interest in English.
To be continued.
