【No. 0271】English Environment
So today, I switched language settings of my smartphone and PCs to English.
For a while, I may be bewildered by the operation, but I think I will get used to them soon.
Also, I will watch American dramas in Netflix with English subtitles.
Anyway, I really want to improve my English, to write my doctoral thesis in English.
英語の上達のためには、英語を使わなければいけない環境を構築することが効果的だと思います。
今日は、スマートフォンとパソコンの言語設定を英語にしました。
暫くは操作に戸惑いそうですが、きっと近いうちに慣れるはずです。
Netflix で見るドラマも、英語字幕で見るようにします。
博士論文を英語で書くために、なんとしても上達したいです。

This is totally true, and it's very clever of you to realize it. By creating a need for using the language we are studying, we have many more opportunities to encounter new words and experience the language without barriers.
Finding movies and dramas on Netflix is also very good. I did the same for Japanese but with Hulu Japan. I found some movies and TV shows on there that I really loved. So I watched them in Japanese. My enjoyment increased my motivation every time :)

I love this sentence you wrote. It made me laugh out loud when I read it. Nice job!!
Thank you so much for correcting my post!
I'm very happy about your words. :)
Wow, do you use Hulu Japan? Nice! Actually, I also use Hulu, and it was helpful to me. However, only Netflix have English subtitles of dramas that I want to watch now, so I switched to Netflix. At any rate, it's really hard for me to understand the stories only with English, but I can continue to watch them because I love US dramas!

私はコンピュータの言語設定は日本語です。Eメールもそうです。この間は韓国語にしましたが、やっぱり韓国語の実力はまだまだなので操作に困りました！
他の役に立つ方法はすで読んだ本を英語で読むことです。六年前からずっと、私は聖書を日本語で読んできています。
Thank you so much for correcting my post! :D
すごいですね！私も英語でメールを書けるようになりたいです。以前、言語設定を間違えて知らない言語にしてしまったら、戻すのに苦労しました。笑
英語の本も読もうと努力していますが、なかなか理解が進みません。despotically さんのように、母国語で読んでから外国語で読む、というのは良さそうですね！試してみます。:)
