The 500th anniversary

I have been keeping this blog almost every day since I first started it last May, and this is the 500th memorial post. Of course I still have a lot of mistakes in my blog, but I feel much more comfortable when I use English. I would say "to use English" rather than "to write English" because writing requires reading skill and improve speaking and listening skill at one time. I think this is an excellent way  to improve practical English skills for most Japanese people who have learned much about English for a long time and who can't still use English like me. The only one problem while keeping English blog was that I often felt uneasy about my English sentences; I wasn't sure whether each English sentence in my blog was correct or not. This is why I made a native correction system which is now running as a commercial service and more than 100 Japanese students have experienced by now. There are a lot of ways to make good use of this simple system. I would share the way I recommend and actually I practice everyday; that is to print out the correction page and check your original sentences with the corrected sentences.
