@jun😈💜 ： English proficiency is something I wanted to improve for a long time but I hadn’t done. Shortly after I started, I could see my own progress and that felt good, and got more motivated. But at some point, I hit a plateau and lost the motivation. These days, I just barely continue my routines[大泣き]

@ゆく ： A bit more about my English journey: Bravely jumped into a group voice chat in English last year! Then, finally kicked off my own audio room earlier this year on another app, and now I’ve moved here—still working hard on my English! Next up: diving into some native English sites or apps!

@jun😈💜 ： That’s really impressive! Organizing a voice room should be a great way to practice! I’m kinda shy and awkward in a group chat, so I’m jealous of you[大笑い] As for speaking practice, I’ve been doing voice calls with English speakers

@ゆく ： That’s awesome! Voice calls with native speakers sound super effective too! I totally get the shy feeling—I was super nervous at first too. But once I took the first step, it slowly got easier. Let’s both keep going and cheer each other on!

@jun😈💜 ： Yeah. I think I owe my language partners a lot for my speaking practice[照れる] it was also lovely that I was able to meet up with some of them when they came to Japan. Yeah, as long as we can stick to the practice habits, I believe we can improve, I hope so[ほっとする]

@ゆく ： So cool! And yeah, consistency really pays off! As for me, honestly, in voice rooms I’m always just pushing through with my terrible pronunciation… I must be stressing the native speakers out.[大泣き]

@jun😈💜 ： English pronunciation is impossible for me[大泣き] At least, I learned and practiced IPA, but how I sound is very different from native speakers. I feel like some kind of voice training would be helpful, but I feel too lazy[泣き笑い] to

@ゆく ： Yeah, same here! Totally get you. I’m lazy too when it comes to voice training. Ugh, it’s ridiculous for me!

@jun😈💜 ： I think I’ve kind of given up on it[泣き笑い]

@ゆく ： 100% agree w/ u… totally devastated [大泣き]
