Hi. Now, I’m working to learn English.(I wanna learn more and more languages. But there are many things to do in modern era.)

I started learning English by ‘English can be mastered for 10000 hours.’(Daiya Hashimoto, no translation)

I met it in 2024 September in the bookstore.

In Japan, there are much of service like “English Conversation school” “preparing school” or books for learning English.

When I was junior high school, I’m tired to think about those businesses.

They have been appealing like, “Age is important! Let your kid learn English earlier!” “English importance will be increased by globalization. So your kids have to~~~…”

But there is nothing to do “necessary” , I think.

However, I got some hopes to spread my actions to the world.

So, I had been looking for methods of learning language effectively.

And then, I met the book. The bookshelf had 1 corner of the bookstore. There were many kind of methods to learn English.

For example) Vocabulary List, speed reading vocabulary/phrase words, Speed making sentences and 1page A4 paper studying….etc

There were so many choices. But I was attracted to it and opened the book.

It explained, “The experience of how the author learned English”

->”Why input is more important than output?” “How long does it take to master(= native’s universty level) English?”

->Some objective methods to learn

Why input is more important than output?

The author says, “Because when we were small, we don’t use English to output at first. There is a plenty of input languages.”

I got strikes. Because i was learned like vocabulary memorize, the system of English sentence and read and listen “deeply” in the schools.

I was excited to new choice of learning English.

Otherwise, Daiya Hashimoto (the author) explained reason in this book.

“School has limited time to learn English for other subjects. So it have to teach about without mega input.”

After reading this book, he recommend reading and listening extensive, so i started installing Audible and bought some books in paper. (Paper reading is more realize than digital!

First book is ‘Holes’.

When i started voiced reading, i had around 3-5 words to misunderstand in a page. There were no high comprehension.(but is there any 100% comprehension in the world??)

But the author said, “it’s adjusting to your level, if you can realize 50%.”

So on, i trusted him and finished to read ‘Holes’ and ‘Who moved my cheese?’, ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ and ‘Psychology of Money’.

When i was reading, i had complex feeling. It’s because of it has no evidence based on ‘science’.

So i tried to find some scientific evidence.

However, I have no idea to search research directly.

So, I attached ‘Pareotic man’ which is Japanese science writer’s blog.

There were some posts about English learning.

Especially, I read about,

“Age of start Learning English ” “How is effective of extensive reading?”

Source of research

“Age of start Learning English ”

Research content is …..

About 674,000 people (Main target is European and 20-40 years old. There were around 10-60 years old people.) were tested and compare with ‘When did people study English since?’

The result is…

-There is no chance to win started learning English on 10 years old person by started learning English since 11 years old.

-Learning English speed will decline rapidly since 17.4 years old.

“How is effective of extensive reading?”

Research content is…..

Around 100 Japanese people were trying to three methods for 1 year.

1. Normally learning for school
2. Extensive Reading
3. Extensive Reading + Dictation

The result is…..

-3>2>1 (sort by effectively)

-There is no big difference between 3 methods.

(these are not explaining about research sources. About Blog’s content.)

Otherwise, ‘Pareotic man’’s author = Yu Suzuki says, “English Learning has to be needed ‘acceptable feedback’.”

There was no wording, but I had felt importance of feedback to learn everything.

Takeshi Yoro who was medical profesor of Tokyo university. He said brain’s system. “‘Learning’ is processed by input and output (+feedback). There was nothing that was separated between input and output in the past.”

We can think from the video games. they were also based on ‘Level system’. In Pokémon, monsters will level up, if we won the battle. In Super Mario, we can remind progress easily like, “how stage we have cleared. “ The games were created for using much of time to it. So there has many mechanisms of how to increase motivation.

So on, I hoped acceptable feedback. There were some choices to make feedback.

-tested by official institutions

-make conversation with English speakers

-write sentences and checked by myself or some English users

-speak to voice recorder and checked by myself or some English users

….etc

I had started to find some exams and chance to talk with English users or write or speak to device.

When I started to focus on improve English, I had been thinking to applied by academic institutions.

So I knew about what kind of tests are used to apply.

The main tests are IELTS and TOEFL iBT.

Both of tests target on university students or cooperative? Socially people.

They prepare higher level if it is compared to other English exams (Eiken, GTEC, TOEIC,,,,etc) EIken and GTEC is famous test in Japan.

CEFR is English level for European made from Cambridge University.

Eiken is Kanji one.

I tried to go with IELTS and TOEFL iBT to apply level for universities.(minimum goal~)

But, I felt that I had to know “What is my now level.”, if I want to obvious how i get there.

But I don’t know my exact level (Is there “exact level” ? There will be changed by condition.)

I had test the past from 3 years.

I took Eiken and it was about 1590 points.

So I guess I am in more than A2 (B1) level.

But there is another problem.

“How to approach there?”

I got my location, knew what the mountain is , but I didn’t know the way.

Next chapter, I will discuss about theory of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and result of IELTS.

TO BE CONTINUED………

In 2023, when i was relaxing in holiday, “it” got off.

It is green and sticky and came from my nose.

Almost people didn’t wear off the musk in Japan March 2023, and me neither. So “it” didn’t show up for any people in front of me.

But I was wondered, “what is it?”. But i was not thinking about that deeply. I thought “it will heal soon!”.

2 weeks later, it was there yet. But i was confused because around past 2 years, i didn’t get any arellgie or nose sick.

I started volleyball since 2 years ago. And i got wisdom, “mind is important!“. I had sensitive nose sick from arellgie, when i was little (7-8 years old)

So i thought “Probably, mind is reason of this.”

2 weeks later, it was there yet. I went to hospital. And i was told my sick name, “nose polyp”. I have already heard that big past. However, I didn’t think that i will get it.

The doctor gave me an antibiotics. But i had read that it was not good for health because it kill any biome in body so i was

The doctor told me “please drink it for 2 weeks.”

I did that. But it wasn’t changed. And i noticed it came from only left nose hole.

I searched online. It’s called “ “

Since a half of year ago, i had on my left foot during 3 fingers. I tried hospital and cream. It healed up, but if i stoped that, it came again.

I thought “is it same reason?”. I asked the 2 doctor about that, but they didn’t answer exactly.

5 months later, it was September 2023. My nose polyp was there yet.

In March 2023, my left of back got break same season. All of left. Why?

My interest for health and body was getting higher. I felt “i should change something…” so i started reading books much more.

I read more than 30 books about health, and i got 1 book written by Steven Gandory, “Plant Paradox”. It explained about “rectine”. “Rectine” is famous for gluten. Gluten is kind of like lectine, one of the more than 6000 kinds. For example, The plants kind of eggplant, pepper and wheat includes Lectine.

Gandory said, “Lectine was getting revolution of violence for plant eater. It is working for our gut wall. If it come in our body, it will open a hall of gut wall. And it cause “Reeky gut”.

First, i didn’t trust it 100%. But i tried.

What is result??

1 months later, my green, sticky water was gone.

There were some reason think later. However Lectine was big reason of that. Also people’s nose are not straight exactly, me neither. My left nose hole is narrow yet.

I learned from this story, The doctor don’t heal up us, the drug don’t heal up my nose, anyone don’t manage us. But we can solve the problem. We are own doctor.

Thank you.

Recently, i was reading ‘Sapiens’ by Yuval Noah Harari.

This book is known by people of international.

And Yuval Noah Harari is author of ‘Homo Deus’ and ‘21 Lessons’ and ‘Nexus (it’s sold since September 2024.)’.

He is a historical professor of Hebrew University.

He coming out that he is gay when he is 21 years old.

He was studied army history and world history in Oxford University.

‘Vipassana meditation changed me the biggest of my life’ he told in ‘21 Lessons’.

‘Sapiens’ explain Homo sapiens’s history since 2,500,000 years ago.

their history can be separated during 4 big changes.

Fire (=300,000years ago), brain (=70,000year ago), farm (10,000year ago),science (200year ago) revolutions.

They boosted our life.

Fire changed about nutrition. fire made being able to cook more effiency of nutrition. Easy explain, we can eat some meat, vegetable ,,,all of food through the fire faster.

Sapiens built culture since about 100,000 – 70,000 years ago because their brain was changed. (In this book, the reason of changed brain is

Sapiens need to stay same place since 10,000years ago.

Sapiens Moved to farm based alive that made being able to stay.

There are some reasons. People don’t know which started first, farm or stay.

Stay was caused by can storage because icing in cold age .

Science is started by “Human recieve Human’s

This book has so many attractive ideas. Harari is a greatful storyteller.

In this book, He explained the history of Sapiens with some micro story. For example,

“Aluminum was so rare material in mid 1700. When Napoleon use the aluminium spoon, it is the best rank of his prepared customer. Napoleon will be wondered that the teenage girl wrapped sandwich by aluminium hoil.”

When i was studied history, it was not attractive. (Reason of possibility, i just don’t feel value!) it was not emotional.

But my emotion was moved by this book some time. One reason, I felt Harari’s thoughtful.

The most interesting point was animal.

In this section, he told about animals like pig, chicken, cow,,,,etc.

He is vegan. He started since searching for ‘Sapiens’. He was weondered the fact of animals.

When i was studying about nutrition, food, body…etc, i found the fact of companies of food.

Like

I wanna search more about those things for eat more nutritional and moralistic.

When i started climbing, i was excited.

About 40minutes later, i met another 2guys climbing down it.

And we said “hi”

I told them “how long did you climb down?”

They said “it has 2.8km, and i came 2km,,,so ,,,”

“OMG.”

1.8km left??

It was so long……

After I noticed display put on tree, when i was climbing later.

It showed 20/50.

I climbed only 2/5.

But i thought “its a delicate to climb off…..”

So i resume climb.

When i was climbing at around 25-30, i took rests (reading book) during 3 points up.

So i thought “If This pase will continued, i will arrived at 7p.m!”

However it pass 4p.m.

When i was climbing at 30/50, i took nap on the ground.

After i thought, I was like “trail runners high”.

The time from 20 to 30 seemed longer than the time from 30 to 50. (Maybe it’s because the last of the road is still more like “Oh, so this is it…”) (Maybe it’s because it would be a good idea.)
Now that I remember, I remember a similar situation with my summer homework.

And i arrived.(around 6 p.m.)

When you arrived at the top of Grouse, you can see clearly skies and views of Seattle and other areas!

But i was not.

It was 6 p.m and that day was cloudy.

If you could not see the views clearly, you can see Glizzly! (There has two bears.)

However, I was not.

I don’t know why I can’t see, but there are no animals.

I couldn’t see Glizzly, beautiful views…..

But I could see divine sunset!

When it took dark, you can see pretty light up.

Passed 7 p.m, it’s so cold. (I felt It was 0-10.)

So i went back by gondola.

Thanks!

I went to Vancouver island in the first time!

There is a lot of nature.

We can enjoy sea and mountain.(super pareothic!)

I went only around Nanaimo. I wanted to go to Torino…..

I will write the day trip journal!

I went there by ferry.

You can go by bus to take ferry from Vancouver.(take about 40 minutes)

And then you can get the ferry’s ticket for Nanaimo.(take about 1.5hours)(25dollars)

And you arrive at ferry, you can buy to eat some western style food.(burger, pasta…etc)

I bought California sushi and rice clacker.

I ate them in the first. The rice clacker was exciting because it was like a rice version of a donut, so it was a new sensation.

When you arrived, there is a big parking area with bus station.

I walked around there.

I can’t say about Vancouver Island because I didn’t go to the backcountry,
Vancouver is a little bit more rural, but I didn’t feel that there was anything special about it.

After I walked around Nanaimo, I ate donuts of ‘Tim dots”(Famous chain restaurant in Canada)

I ate ‘dots’, pizza and a croassant.

It was delicious. But it has no difference between another those foods.

Thank you.

I went to Enoshima in the first time!

Enoshima is small sightseeing spot in Kanagawa.

There has beautiful sea and mountain climbed easily.

I went by two ways, Shonan monorail from Omiya and Enoden for Fujisawa.

In front of station, there is a spot used by slum dank.

https://thesmartlocal.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Kamakura-Kokomae-Station-5-1024×768.jpeg

In the entrance of Enoshima, there are many “yatai”. (it means japanaese outside restaurant.)

I really wondered thing is past of Enoshima.

I thought that is exciting. We are living in the history to change a lot.

Capitalism is not perfect.

But that has power. Big big power.

We can change with believe to change next to the world.

Thank you.

Enoshima

I wrote about barefoot shoes before.

Now, i will write down about “how can i find my shoes?”

Let me show you.

First, I tried to search in ChatGPT.

It recommends me Zero shoes, vivobarefoot and vibran fivefinger.

And i searched on Amazon about those one.

when i was searching Amazon customer reviews in zero shoes,

I caught “I bought zero shoes’s sandal, but Luna sandal is better.”

So I changed searching view to Luna. And I bought it.

I wore them for about 3months.

How about it?

This is my feeling,,,but my running style was changed.

Like this.

However i changed to zero shoes speed force 3.

Why??

Because Luna one’s base is not flexible.

When you start worrying about various details, you immediately start trying to deal with even the slightest discomfort in your back or knee.

(I felt discomfort when i was wearing them.)

When i changed to deicide, i tried some shoes in some barefoot shoes shop. In Vancouver.

Especially, i tried two shops.

Hallux Natural Footwear + Endurance Provisions | Distance Runwear

Vivobarefoot

https://maps.app.goo.gl/i5FSpymfNRgorUKe7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

I tried vivo, zero shoes, vibram.

I felt Vivo and vibram are hard. So I chose Zero shoes.

Thank you.

One day, I went to Grouse Mt.

It’s located in North Vancouver.

We can go there by sea bus or bus through Stanley Park.

I went by sea bus and I came back through the Stanley park.

I recommend you both ways.

Because If you go by sea bus, It’s exciting because we can ride ship.

if you go by bus through Stanley Park, you can see over view of Vancouver on the bridge.

I went there by walk at night, it was pretty beautiful.

When you arrived at sea bus station, you can see bus stops.

you ride 406, and you can go Grouse Mt. once ride on the bus.

Grouce Mt is located in high place.

So, there are cold. I recommend you bring more warm clothes.

I’ve arrived the feet of Grouse at around 4 p.m.

I don’t have much money, so I thought that I will go to the top by hike.

I think there are so many courses.

I hiked BCMI road.

I think later on it was the hardest way of all.

The staff told me it takes about 2hours.

When I started climb, there is card loader for record time.

I thought “I read Mt Grouse’s tall. It is about 1200m. Oh, It’s less 2300m than Mt. Fuji. (I didn’t climb it!)

Next, I will show you the way of BCMI.

I went studying abroad to Vancouver for 3weeks.

And I walked a lot, watch a lot.

So I will share my experience.

Movie

In November 2023, I was watching YouTube.

And I found 1 title.

“Tanden Walking” is explained, in which just by walking, the whole body is energized.“（translated from Japanese.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShFkIGuGpoM

What a attrractive title??

And I watched start to finish.

In the content was…..

*The original human way of walking is important.

*To do so, it is important not to interfere with the structure of the foot.

Tanden is caused by China in about BC 200.

In China, after the unification of China by the First Emperor, the heat was directed toward immortality, and it became a kind of fad.
In this context, the idea of the tanden is born.
The tanden is said to be located about two inches below the navel and is a sort of energy reservoir. (I’d like to look into this a little more closely)

Translated with DeepL (https://www.deepl.com/app/?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=share-translation)

I don’t about tanden enough.

But the thinking by this YouTube channel is logical because it feels like it follows an evolutionary mindset.

Then I tried to watch another video in this channel.

There are two video about logical of shoes.

1.THEORICAL SECTION

2.PRATICAL ASSENSIMENT

These videos say……

*The important thing is not to crush the foot structure (arch, toes)

*If you choose shoes , attend 2 things.

1.There are some space during foot arch and shoes.

-for use chupino

2.There are some space around toes.

And choose not curl and flexible one.

-for Grip the ground with your toes.

If you have much time and money, read books in paper.

Why?

In my opinion, the paper book is 3D.

We can focus on reading.

The digital device is too useful.

This is evidence meta analytics.

Click to access Delgado%202018%20dont%20throw%20away%20your%20printed%20books.pdf

The result is….

*paper is read to realizing 800% more than digital

If you are living same place, I think paper is better.

But, If you want to trip somewhere, there are choice to read by like kindle in digital devices.

The protein is the most importan thing in nutrition.

Why?

Baecause it used to blood, musccule and bone for 20% of our body.

(About 70% is water)

So next question is how many protein should we get?

There are some thinkings from science…

I think we should get protein

about 1.6g-2.2g/kg per day in spanned 2 hours.

How about another big 2 nutrition?

Fat and carb.

There are so many discussions on it.

Also people are getting high carb persentage on day.

High carb vs High fat……

There are no result now I think.

It is personal problem like epigenetic.

The important thing about it is “What kind of food?”

Suger? Or rice? Or potatoes? Or trans fat? Or omega3?…..

I wanna read some academic radius.

I have never read about them.

I will write about nutrition, exercise, body, neuron, brain………….etc

But I have limited time.

I will spend the time for blog 1 hour per day.

Thank you!

There are so many choice in the world.

So, just give up the question,

“How can we update our life effiency?”

I think the most important thing is food.

We are human.

Theory of evolution based on our all of life.

Let’s make some great logical, scientific lifestyle.

First contract

Today, I went to the movie theatre in the first time.

I want to “Cinemax”

In Japan, I felt uncomfortable for chair.

Becasuse there are a lot of chairs but no space.

However, Canadian movie theatre has big space to sit on the chair.

I was cheated to guess.

“Why there are seats like sofa??”
”Why there are seats has possibility of underbody??”…..

What I watched?

I watched ‘Bettle guice’.

I had never seen the movie like ‘Gosht house’

The felt is…. “I can’t understand since start until end.”

Like it was made in a groove.

I have not seen the first of Bettle Guice.

Is it standard?

In the middle of movie, It changed to like 3D anime.

Like the scene in One Piece where Luffy rejoins Sabo.

It was excited for me. It has no logical.

‘JOKER2’s advertise’ was exciting the most of today

When I come in the theatre, It began to show the advertise.

JOKER2 is showed at Oct 3th.

R.I.P

I think later on the first movie theatre is the best.

I went Westminister’s one.

I tried three theatre.(all of cineplex)

What is the most important thing in our life?

…Friends?

Family?

Studying?

Health?

Money?

Heart?….

When I was 16 years old, I got back ache by spiking in volleyball.

When I was in volleyball club, It takes my school life (time)with some classes.

So I got much time to think deeply.

Also people eat fast food in lunch, drink bear, and eat rice or bread in all the eating time.

We have limited time in life just right now. (The possibility has changing our epigenettics and make our age much longer.)

So I think the first important thing in our life is

Maintain our health.

In japan, people say “An athlete’s body is his or her capital.”

But I thought It’s not for only athlete, all people are.

However we are not perfect for willpower, environment, luck….etc

Is only Shoehei Otani able to think about health?

I think NO.

I wanna make to improve our life and society.

Because human are not independent person.

I think (this is not with evidence!) The important thing of 90% is environments.(where is the line to decide into?)

I am trying to search for the best way in my life.

This is first contact with blog for me.

I wanna Money, healthy….but, this is not only my hope, isn’t it?

So, I will write some knowledges and wisdom got by challenging and thinking.

I thought people can grow up more than more than now,

When I was learning.

Now, we wouldn’t live without some digital devices.

I think I can learn more languages, history, body, brain, maths….

But it will need some resource.

So I wanna give back and make economics cycle.

I don’t have friends to be able to share each opinion.

So I wanna communicate with some body.

Let’s go to adventure of intellectual.
