Bamboo Shoot

I got bamboo shoots from my friend.
When I open the box of bamboo shoots, I was surprised. Those are too big!
(An onion on the left side to compare with them)









I cooked them in rice.

They were delicious! And, I ate another bowl of rice.

DVDs Review

DVDs which I watched a few days ago;

リトル・アインシュタイン/すてきな たんじょうび
ディズニー
B000Z1BZL2

This is orally good animation of Disney, Little Einstein series.
This time, thema music are Bach, Bizet, and Mozart. When a rocket which the children ride in takes off, we hear the music of Bach. That's very cool...

This program has seven language change of sound and caption, English, Japanese, Spanish, Portugese, Chinese, Guangdong, Thailand.

How great capital Disney has! 

I understand this story easily than any other movie which I have ever seen for studying English.


天才マックスの世界
ジェイソン・シュワルツマン ビル・マーレイ ウェス・アンダーソン
B00008XWUS

English of this story is very hard for me.
Then, I watched again this movie in Japanese caption after watching English sound and no caption mode. That's very interesting, especially the person relation and love of this hero Max.
I want to be master of English as understanding this movie only English sound.

This book is very useful for me to study English.

英語は「やさしく、たくさん」―中学レベルから始める「英語脳」の育て方 (講談社パワー・イングリッシュ)

Quote:
The best and fastest way to learn a language is by immersion. But input must be at a comprehensible level to promote acquisition.

リトル・アインシュタイン/はじめてのぼうけん
ディズニー
B000NIWHO6

Very safe education anime.
Every times, use classical artist's music. For example, Dvorak, Grieg.
When the roket riding children rises up, when the children play, the back music is Dvorak.
It is mysterious. But I think that if a child watch this anime, he become clever.
Disney is so great!
Also, I'd like to see any other series of little einstein.

Small problem

I can't open the lid of a case of a baking soda from yesterday and now.
It is daily use and neccesary for me. The lid became hard...Try to open...Can't open.

Accounting seminar

I attended the special seminar of accounting at one of big accounting schools. There were many people.
I heard that it is necessary for an international person to have three "F".Three "F" are friendly, frank and fair. Particularly "fair" is important. I see.
As taking this lecture, my motivation of studying English and accounting is up!
