Feeling of Need to improve English and "The King's Speech"

Hopefully this movie helps me a little,
This movie have released in Japan yesterday at rental-video-shop. I am looking forward to watching it. It should be really interesting for me; in a sense both knowing how George VI overcame the hardship and learning vocabularies, improving listening English comprehension.


Overwhelmed by my friends' Posts,
Reading my friends intellectual and high-quality posts, I always find myself  overwhelmed by MARVELOUSLY WRITTEN ENGLISH with lots of VOCABULARIES which some (hehe, way more than some) of then I don't know and sometimes I totally lost from the starters of reading them.....   It must require some personal knowledge for the particular friends,though.
Let me tell you here that there are times I cannot catch up with reading your posts with rich contents. So would you be kind enough to tolerate or forgive me if I misunderstood your post or comment.
From half a month ago, I started using the Google's translation function in the tool-bar. Helping me a little by saving times but not proper meaning for the context at times.

  1. Orchid...you amaze me with your ability to share your thoughts and insights in another language. I love the way you phrase things and I really love hearing about how you live and your traditions. You are a very sensitive and loving friend.

  3. You are wonderful with your vocabulary and each comment I recieve from you is a treasure to behold. You always make me smile with your precious personality. I don't think I could ever master your language and I am in awe at how well you know English.

    I recieve comments on my blog in Spanish at times and I do not have any idea what they say. I do the same thing you do with the google translator but never get the full meaning. I post them anyway and hope they are good ones. ;-)

  4. My dear friend, you have a charming way of expressing your thoughts in your posts. I would never be able to do as well as you do in a second language. Your posts are interesting and refreshing and your blog is a place to come to visit with a sweet and interesting friend. We do love you just the way you are.
    Hugs

  9. I haven't seen this movie, yet, but it's supposed to be really good! Though I have hard time understanding British English. I will need a caption :-(
    I agree, Google translator does not know the context so often gives us meaningless translation. I think I could learn more to read English through blogging :-)

  11. Dearest Orchid,

    Guess that you do far better than most people whose mother tongue us English! So don't worry and don't try to be a perfectionist (very Japanese...) but let your hair down once in a while and just enjoy reading and writing without worrying too much!
    Love to you,

    Mariette

  12. Orchid you never need to apologize for that. I'm thrilled to have you visit my blog and to read it. I love your comments and your friendship and that is what matters the most. Besides, you understand a great deal! I only know a few phrases in Japanese and would be completely lost if the roles were reversed.
