My English is not good?

[Guest]

Hi

This is Kakunen from Japan.

Thank you for practicing at here.

When I started practing at here,I could not speak English.

After I went to Antaiji,International Zen monastery at Japan,
I practiced with lots of people who came from western country.
After 6 month with them,I could communicate with them.

In Japan we learn English about 6 year.I remembered day at
Junior high and high school.

First I learn from teacher! This is a pen! Wow.
Lots of Japanese can not say English.

Please watch this one!!!

This is Japanese Joke.I have a pen!!!

I feel that this is my kind of opinion.
Very important thing is trying to communicate honesty as a Buddhist.

I am Kakunen,But I am not Kakunen.
Can you understand what I want to talk?

ありがとうございます。Arigato-gozaimasu. Thank you very much.

Hi Kakunen,

This is Kevin from Canada

Thank you for your posts. I like how you write English in compact and clear phrases - good job. I watched the video and that's probably going to be fighting for my attention while sitting tomorrow so thanks haha.

I think that Kakunen's English is wonderful.

Sometimes when we are forced to express things without perfect grammar and vocabulary, it results in an even more original and beautiful expression than saying things "correctly."

(I know, as my adventures in speaking Japanese can sometimes be the same).

Kakunen, we all understand what you are saying, both the meaning and the feeling.

Gassho, J

Hi

I think most important way is
Accept all human beings.

Take on me.

Word of Take is very helpful for us.

But difficult.

I think
Take on me is
Accept myself and neighbors.

With good communication.

That’s all.

Kakunen,

Please stop apologizing for your English. It is very good and we all understand you. Its better than my Japanese which is about two words; Arigato and ringo (apple).
