I want to learn English .

TOEFL単語帳の勉強を手伝ってほしいです。1週間に一回範囲を決めて覚えてきて先生が英単語を読み上げて私が日本語で答えたり、先生が日本語の例文を読んで英語に直すという練習をしたいです。あわせて関連語彙や使い方なども教えていただければと思います。教材は「TOEFLテスト上級英単語2500(東進ブックス)」を使っていただけたらと思います。引き受けていただける先生にはPDFで本の指定範囲を毎回シェアできるようにしますので書籍を購入していただく必要はありません。レッスン費用は1000円/30分、2000円/50分でお願いしたいですが、交渉可能です。日本語と英語どちらも理解できる先生が必要になると思いますので難しいかもしれませんがぜひよろしくお願いいたします。

I want to learn Japanese .

今、カフェでアルバイトをしています。
バイトで接客用語を学びたいです。

時々お客様が店のメニューを見て、
ドリンクセットの説明聞きたいですが、
私は何を話すほうがいいですか?って
学びたいです。

当店で接客用語がそんなに丁寧じゃなくて
親切のサービスのほうが重視です。
自分で本のインターネットで見たの
接客用語はちょっと硬いと思います。

カフェで勤務経験があるの先生が
教えてくれませんか?

もしできれば、
私が先生にバイトのメニューを届けて、
先生と一緒にメニューの説明の話し方を考えます。

よろしくお願いします。

I want to learn English .

Days ago, I made an 'order lesson' request, saying "I would like to read and understand 'Of truth' of Francis Bacon's 'The essays'. Can you please help me? ". It is located at three articles under this request.

I think I wrote too less in my request, and I write here my aim and attitude here again.


-----------------------------------------------------------
*** My aim of this lesson.

My aim is not to understand Bacon, but to enhance my ability to read and understand English.

So such an offer like 'You don't have to read this old and difficult writing. Instead I'll tell you what he thinks briefly' is not welcome.

I want to read the text.

-----------------------------------------------------------
**** What I think are necessary to understand Bacon

1. Grammar (including Middle English grammar).
2. Vocabulary
3. Logic
4. Sense of native speaker.
5. Background knowledge


-----------------------------------------------------------
+++ On 1 and 2. Grammar and Vocabulary
Some says
"After all, no one knows what Bacon truly meant except Bacon himself. So you can have your own interpretation."

Supposing it is true, this could lead to the conclusion that you don't ask for tutors' help, because free interpretation can be done all by myself freely.

As a foreign English learner, I would like to stick on grammar, and ask lots of questions to tutors, even if it is Middle English.

-----------------------------------------------------------
+++ on 3 and 4. Logic and Native speakers' sense.

Logic is, no doubt, important to understand the text.
I think I am a logic-oriented person, and would like to discuss deeply on the author's logic. Of course, the discussion must be based on the text, i.e., grammar and vocabulary.

It is possible that English native speakers can understand the essay by native speakers' sense and intuition. This kind of native sense, however, is nothing I can have by its definition. So "Don't think, feeeeel" kind of teaching style might not be useful here.

Imagine if you are interested in Japanese old writings and ask for help to read and understand it, and if the tutor tell you "I understand the text. But to understand this text, a Zen sense is required, sense which only a Japanese native speaker can have", you would definitely be frustrated and disappointed. You can say the same thing vice versa in English texts.

I would like to analyze this text by its grammar and logic. This is a philosophical essay; I believe this sticking-on-logic attitude is not so bad here.

-----------------------------------------------------------
+++ on 5. Background knowledge

To understand the essay, the reader must have same background knowledge as the English readers in the time of Bacon. For example, you must know who Pilate is and what he did in advance.

I would appreciate it if you teach me that kind of implicit background knowledge.

Well, I think I know of Pilate.
------------------------------------------------------------
“I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You shall bear the responsibility.” All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
------------------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------------------------------
**** What I know about Bacon.

FORTUNATELY, I haven't read Bacon in English nor Japanese.
I will not read Japanese translation during the lesson.

I would experience the pure text.


And any teacher to whom this attitude is acceptable, please respond.

I want to learn English .

小学2年生の娘についてご相談させていただきます。
現在、英会話歴5年の娘ですが、この度、スイミングの選手育成コースに選ばれ、週6日スイミングに通うため、5年続けた英会話を辞めることとなりました。
英語教室で国連英検ジュニアテストBコースを満点で合格。
自宅にて児童英検ブロンズ合格しております。
ここまで続けてきた英語をただ辞めるのはもったいないと思い、こちらの講師の方々のお力をお借りしたく、ご相談させていただきました。
以前にもカフェトークにてレッスンを数回受講しておりますが、親の私の都合がなかなかつかず、続けることができませんでしたが、今回は週1回コンスタンスに見ていただける講師の方を探しております。
曜日は平日の夜8時から見ていただける日本人の方でお願いいたします。
というのも、以前他のオンライン英会話を受講した際、日本語が一切通じず、娘が固まってしまい、少しトラウマになっているようなので、指導は日本語を交えて行っていただきたいと思っております。
また、親の希望といたしまして、もちろん会話ができるようになることが目標ではありますが、ひとまずの目標は私が英語が全くわからず苦手で受験の時に苦労した経験から、子供には中学入学当初から英語に苦手意識を持ってもらいたくなく、どちらかといえば受験英語や英検を重視したレッスンを希望しております。
文法も交えて教えてくださる方を希望しております。
また、家庭教師のようなレッスンでも結構です。(英語のワークブック等を解いて、先生に見ていただくようなレッスン)
よろしくお願いいたします。

I want to learn Japanese .

僕は日本語の小説を読むのが好きです。だいたい、月に一冊くらい読んでいます。小説を読み終わったら、その小説について日本人と話し合うのはとても面白いと思っています。最近、読んだ本は住野よるの「君の膵臓をたべたい」や辻仁成の「その後のふたり」や小保方晴子の「あの日」です。今読んでいる小説は雪富千晶紀 の「死呪の島 」です。先生のお進めの本も読んでみたいです。

I want to learn English .

I would like to read and understand 'Of truth' of Francis Bacon's 'The essays'. Can you please help me?

http://writetoscore.com/2015/06/22/francis-bacon-of-truth-line-by-line-meaning/
The site above 'Francis Bacon — Of Truth – Line by line meaning' tells you what every paragraph means. For example,


----------------------------------------------------------
A): Certainly there be that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting.
----------------------------------------------------------
B): Meaning .. People do not seek Truth, and enjoy resorting to falsehood and lies. People like ambiguity, and inaccuracy, so that they can couch the harshness of Truth in convenient language.
----------------------------------------------------------

To me, a Japanese English learner, however, the grammatical analysis is required. I don't see how and why those lines (A) would lead to the meaning of (B).

Any tutor who can help me fill the gap between A and B, please respond.
