Comments about TIk Tok, Instagram & YouTube
Reminder for 2022 students: Please do NOT write about YouTube this time. We will do YouTube later. Just write about TikTok and Instragram, or just one of those.
Mei Sato - 5/4/2022
Many people use Instagram, so I will introduce ESL instructors who are active on Instagram. The account I find fun to learn from is Kevin's English Room. This account is a group of three people. Kevin is from the United States, but he's [?] a fluent speaker of Japanese.
Using the United States, I am putting out a video [So Mei, are you putting out a video?] comparing the characteristics of the United States and the characteristics of Japan. What surprised me was that in Japanese it is called "ご飯食べに行こう", but in English, it is just "Let's go eat rice?". This is a grammar peculiar to Japanese, and omits the words such as "Let's go get something (to eat)''. What I learned from Kevin's English Room is that in Japanese, the subject is often omitted or is ambiguous in sentences. So when I [?] went abroad, I [?] wanted to talk in detail about "breakfast" or "dinner" instead of "rice", and be careful about "me, you" without omitting the subject. [Mei, you are making the mistakes you are warning about in these sentences because you are not careful about the subjects!] This person's video teaches grammar with a focus on natural conversation rather than memorizing words. You can learn grammar while enjoying the reaction of Americans in the culture that is taken for granted in Japan. I've also introduced Instagram here, but they also use TikTok, so check it out when you have time [we don't need this in your graduation report].

Many people use Instagram, so I will introduce ESL instructors who are active on Instagram. The account I find fun to learn from is Kevin's English Room. This account is a group of three people. Kevin is from the United States, but he is a fluent speaker of Japanese. [Mei, 'he is' or 'he's' is not a problem. What I don't understand is that you said there are 3 people, but you only named one person, Kevin. I don't understand why there are 3 people but you only talk about Kevin.]
Kevin is from the United States, so these videos compares the characteristics of the United States with the characteristics of Japan. Especially the video of the conversation eating surprised me very much. In Japanese, we say ''飯食べに行こう", but in English, that means "Let's go eat rice." This is peculiar to Japanese, and omits the words such as "Let's go get something (to eat)''. What I learned from Kevin's English Room is that in Japanese, the subject is often omitted or is ambiguous in sentences. So If I go abroad, I should be careful to say "I, you he, and she, etc". without omitting the subject. I should also say "breakfast" or "dinner" instead of "rice". This person's video teaches grammar with a focus on natural conversation rather than memorizing words. You can learn grammar while enjoying the reaction of Americans in the culture that is taken for granted in Japan. I've introduced Instagram this time, but they also use TikTok.
Mei, I think your problem is that you use translation software, like Google Translate, which cannot choose the correct subject (主語) when translating from Japanese to English. - Kevin

Kami - 5/12/2022
Many people say that we can study English on Instagram or TikTok. I watched Moepi’s instagram among them. I think her’s [?] videos are very funny and easy to understand. She introduces the difference between Japan and America in various situations. I like the video of the difference between the clerks when the cash register is crowded. I know Japanese clerks are very polite but I didn’t know that American clerks are so rough. I think Japanese clerks can be a little more rough. Moepi puts out a lot of videos and there are translations in the video. I prefer materials that have some Japanese translations and advice because it is easier to understand the vocabulary and grammar. In any case, Moepi's pronunciation is very clear and easy to understand for people who are not good at English.
I learned two new words. First, I learned “awesome”. I have heard this word in movies but I didn’t know its meaning. This ward means "wonderful, amazing" and 驚くばかり、素晴らしい in Japanase. Second, I learned “incredibly”. This word means "very, extremely" and 信じられないほど、とっても in Japanase.
I will use Moepi’s instagram for improve to my English skills.

Nana - 5/12/2022
I often use Instagram, so I found some people who teach English on Instagram. For example, I found the account called AK-English (@akane.iiii). She is Japanese, and she is ambassador to the Vancouver Government Tourism Board. In this account, there are a lot of posts about phrases used in daily conversation. Her English sounds perfect like a native speaker. Some posts are accompanied by video with and without subtitles. I think it’s better to watch videos with subtitles first, and then watch without subtitles when you understand what they’re speaking and the content of the story. Among the posts on this account, I was especially impressed by the post about the phrase “just because”. You can use “just because” when you want to say that in a situation when you don't have a reason for coming to a particular conclusion. It means like “no reason”. In Japanese, “なんとなく”. I didn’t know how to say “なんとなく” in English, so it was vary surprising because it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be, and it was made up of words that I usually use. In conclusion, I think it's good to learn English on Instagram. You can learn anytime anywhere if you have your smartphone. And you don’t need any special tools.

Miu - 5/12/2022
I use Instagram everyday, so it's convenient that I can easily learn English on Instagram. I found many English learning accounts. Among them, I have seen two funny accounts; AK-English and moepi_english. ['fun' or 'funny'?]
On AK-English, a Japanese woman called Akane posts videos of English everyday conversation. She teaches me phases that I don't learn in school just by talking to native people. I learned a lot from her. On the moepi_english, account, Moepi posts videos comparing various differences between Japan and the United States. For example, I was surprised that the service at a crowded cash register is so different between the two countries. If I were served in Japan like they do in the United States, it would definitely be a complaint, so the differences between the two countries are very interesting.
I learned two new idioms . First, I learned "a fish out of water." It means someone who is not suitable for a place, and "場違い、場違いな人" in Japanese. Second, I learned "eye candy", it means "beautiful things, beautiful people that we can enjoy looking at" and "目の保養" in Japanese.
For the first time, I found that Instagram has a lot of interesting English learning accounts. I think the study method using SNS is very convenient. I will continue to watch it to learn English when I have free time.

Marina- 5/14/2022
I use Instagram everyday, and I can't imagine my life without it. I sometimes watch ESL videos on Instagram, but I had never tried to focus on it before. This time I used AK-English (@akane.iiiii) to see if it was useful for studying English.
On this account, you can watch videos of everyday English conversations between a native English speaker and a Japanese who speaks English as a second language. The videos introduce many useful words and expressions that are not taught in school. For each conversation, there are two videos: a video with subtitles and a video without subtitles. That makes it useful for improving your listening skills. Also, the time of one video is not too long, so you can easily learn in your spare time.
I learned two expressions from this account. The first is "eye candy". It means "目の保養" in Japanese and "someone or something superficially attractive to look at" in English. The second is "split the bill". It means "割り勘する" in Japanese and "to divide the expense evenly" in English.
I learned many new words and expressions from this account. The teachers in AK-English made me want to be able to speak English like them. I still want to learn new words and expressions, so I will continue to learn English using Instagram.

Kanako - 5/14/2022
I use Instagram a lot. I found an account called StudyIn (@studyin.jp). This account is made by Micchan, a bilingual returnee, and Seike, a Japanese person.
In this account, you can enjoy learning native English expressions that Japanese people are surprisingly unaware of. They transmit one useful English expression a day, one phrase a day. Their postings include sections for pronunciation practice, speaking practice, and listening practice, so you can learn each of these skills. The video of conversation is followed by an explanation, so it is easy to understand. The postings also introduce phrases that they want you to learn along with them, so you can learn many words and expressions.
I found two expressions from StudyIn. The first is “promise the moon”. It means “make extravagant promises that are unlikely to be fulfilled.”, and “無理な約束をする” in Japanese. The second is “take a rain check”. It means “politely decline an offer, with the implication that one may take it up at a later date.”, and “また今度にする” in Japanese.
I feel that Instagram is a useful tool for learning English and I will continue to watch it.

Kanae - 5/14/2022
I often watch TikTok, so I found a way to learn English on TikTok. Many people are posting about English, and I found an account called moepi_english. She posts about the various differences between Japan and the United States, which is very interesting and an enjoyable way to learn English. You can also learn correct grammar with subtitles. Her pronunciation is similar to that of a native speaker, so you can practice pronunciation. Among the videos I watched, I like the one showing the differences when music is played on the train. In Japan, we have to be quiet on the train. So we get impatient when the music is played. In the US, there are times when it gets very lively. So you don't have to worry too much about it even if it's played by mistake.
I learned two new words. The first one is "absolutely". It means "絶対" in Japanese and "with no qualification, restriction, or limitation; totally" in English. The second one is "independently". It means "独立して" in Japanese and "in a way that is free from outside control or influence" in English.
Many people post about English on TikTok, so I will improve my English skills by looking at them. Also, it is very convenient that I can study English only with my smartphone. I would like to see and learn a lot of English on TikTok when I have time.

Saki - 5/14/2022
I use Instagram every day and I found a very good account to learn English. The name of the account is Moepi Eikaiwa. Moepi uses Instagram to share English expressions and the differences between Japanese and American culture. All of the posts are very interesting. She is Japanese so she explains things in Japanese and also teaches English while playing a certain character so it is very easy to understand. This allows you to learn not only English expressions, but also inflection and accent.
I learned two new English expressions. The first is “long story short”. This means “手短に言うと” “要するに” in Japanese. This is used when you want to say something short and simple. The second is “ I screwed up”. This means “やらかした" “失敗した” in Japanese. This is used when something has gone wrong. Similar phrases include “I messed up” and “I made a mistake”.
I think it is only in this day and age that English can be learned through social networking sites such as Instagram, so we should take advantage of it. I will continue to learn English by watching the posts of Moepi Eikaiwa and other accounts. I want everyone to use Instagram to learn English too.

Hiyori Saishin - 5/14/2022
Whenever I have free time, I open Instagram and read my friends' posts and recommendations. We have an image that Instagram is is not connected to studying, but there are actually many people who teach English conversation. I will introduce one of them, Akane(@akane.iiiii), a Japanese poster. We can learn from her the English conversation that native speakers use. There are various videos, but often there are conversations between Akane and another person, and conversations that can be used in everyday life. There are usually two videos in each post. The first video shows Akane's conversation with subtitles and the second video has no subtitles. The first video introduces everyday conversation, and the second video introduces important words with audio. Sometimes it comes with videos that you can practice as well as words. If a post only has one video instead of two, the last important word is introduced. Videos without subtitles help me learn how to listen, and I thought it was [think it's] good to introduce words I don't know with audio only. Also, you can watch videos in less than a minute, so you can watch them whenever you have free time. Above all, I think it's very good to be able to study English conversation used by native speakers using Instagram.
I learned two words from Akane's Instagram. The first word is "Jet lagged". "Jet lagged" means "時差ぼけ" in Japanese. Jet lag is when you come back from an overseas trip and your physical condition is disturbed by the time difference. For example, we use the word jet lag when we say we're sleepy because of jet lag. The second word is "Rip-off". "Rip off" means "ぼったくり" in Japanese. To rip off is to charge an exorbitant fee. For example, For example, we use the word rip-off when we say that we were ripped off by an internet scammer.

I think Instagram is excellent for learning English phrases and I often use it. I will introduce an account called 3 Minute English Conversation (@3mini_eikaiwa). This account posts English conversation phrases every morning at 8:00 a.m. It is simple, easy to read, and has a point of view at the end. [?] It introduces phrases that you can use in your daily life, such as great conversation starters . It teaches you words that you may or may not know and English that is similar to the way Japanese people feel. For example, The Japanese word for 目の保養 is “a feast for the eyes” or “eye candy” in English. Even words that you might think are difficult to say are sometimes easier to say than you might think. The explanations are simple, and if you think you want to dig deeper, you can look at the comments section to learn what others have to say and how to say it.I think it is a good thing that this account is updated every morning with more useful phrases. [180 words]
Another version with Kiwi's original unrevised sentences:

I used to think Instagram was just an application for posting photos, but these days, you can also learn English on Instagram. I recommend the English learning account StudyIn (@studyin.jp) This account introduces English that native speakers actually use. This account is managed by Seike who is a native Japanese and Micchan who is a returnee. They post native phrase videos at 1:00 p.m. and reel [?] videos at 7:00 p.m. everyday. The native phrase video introduces useful phrases that you can use in conversation. For example, the meaning of “XYZ” is not the alphabet. This means the initials of “Examine Your Zipper”. In this way, you can learn casual or formal expressions that you can’t learn at school. In the reel [?] video, you can get a lot of new information, such as how to order at Starbucks, the difference between “don’t” and “do not “, how to answer “How are you?”, and so on. Their reel videos are very interesting so you can enjoy learning English. I think it’s very convenient to be able to study English on Instagram, so I want to continue using it.
I learned some new words from this account. The first word is “flop”. This means “失敗” in Japanese and “failure” in English. The second word is “tackle”. This means “取り組む” in Japanese and “grapple with” in English.

In the reel [?] video, you can get a lot of new information, such as how to order at Starbucks, the difference between “don’t” and “do not “, how to answer “How are you?”, and so on. Their reel videos are very interesting so you can enjoy learning English. I think it’s very convenient to be able to study English on Instagram, so I want to continue using it.
I learned some new words from this account. The first word is “flop”. This means “失敗” in Japanese and “failure” in English. The second word is “tackle”. This means “取り組む” in Japanese and “grapple with” in English.

I am a regular viewer of social networking sites and I use an application called Intagram. Instagram is connected to the world and allows me to share information and experiences of various people. I can get information about study abroad and work experiences from it. It's also a great way to learn English. There are ESL accounts that show how to say English phrases in a short video, or teach you English that you can use in your daily life. Among them, Micchan and Seike are my favorite Instagramers.. They explain pronunciation and their experiences abroad in an easy-to-understand way. They teach us about the U.S. and explain words, phrases, and pronunciation commonly used in America. For example, the phrase "take a hint" translates directly to "ヒントを得る" but really means "それくらいわかって". The phrase "take a rain check" Japanese means "また今度にする“. This is used to politely decline the other party's invitation. They also reproduce situations in which these phrases are used, so it is very easy to understand and comprehend. [Mei, 'understand' and 'comprehend' are the same. We don't need both.] It is easy to learn English on this site because a lot of information in is explained in a short time in an easy-to-understand manner. The site is updated daily, so you can learn English without getting bored. [What is the name of this account?]

My recommended TikToker is "@speakingenglishwithzac". Zac is a native English speaker from Ireland. He puts up videos almost every day and teaches practical English conversation. The videos are subtitled in English spoken by Zac and English spoken by us, the viewers, so that we can actually have a conversation. I highly recommend this account because it is a smooth [an effective] way to understand the appropriate language of the time.
This time, I learned two phrases. First, "I'm looking forward to~", which means "I'm looking forward to~" in Japanese. [?] This phrase means "〜を楽しみにしている" in Japanese, and it is a phrase that can be used quite routinely. For example, it can be used to say, "I am looking forward to next week's movie (来週の映画を楽しみにしている)". Next, I learned "to break the ice". In Japanese, it means "場を和ませる”. I used to wonder why, since self-introductions are often referred to as "break ice" in Japan during group work, etc. The literal translation means something completely different, "氷を割る," I was surprised that it could be used as a completely different meaning. As an example, you can use "When I meet someone for the first time, I always break the ice by telling a joke (初対面の人と会う時は、いつもジョークを言って場を和ませます)".

I learned English with an account named “english_native_” on Instagram. In this account, they have daily conversations with international students as local friends. In it, they introduce us to the expressions often used in short stories. It's easy to understand the topic because they include a script.
I learned some words from this account. The first is “Enough is enough”. It means “もうウンザリしてる” in English. This word is used when someone can’t tolerate something anymore they need it to stop. For example, My old brother smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. The second is “Extra”. It means “大袈裟” in Japanese. This is used when someone is being overly dramatic. For example, “He is still suffering from last week's injury. He is so extra” [Please show me the URL to this, because I am surprised at the meaning of "extra" here.] [138 words; too short]

Kakeru - 5/17/2022
I use Instagram everyday, I also use Instagram to study English. Among the ESL sites on Instagram, I will introduce the English study account that I have been working on in order to become able to speak English. The name of the account is maho_english.
Maho speaks to himself [?] mainly in English, shadowing, and Western English. [?] She studied English on her own and has pronunciation similar to that of a native speaker. I think her site is very useful for people who study English alone.
I learned two new English expressions. The first is “paid vacation”. It means “有給休暇” in Japanese. This is used when I want to take a day off from work. The second is “I’m almost broke “. It means “金欠やばい” in Japanese. This is used when I don't have money.
Maho is studying English on her own, I recommend her site because she kindly introduces how to study English to Japanese people who want to speak it.

Aya - 5/9/2022
I listened to videos on Hapa Eikaiwa on Instagram. His Instagram’s account [What's his name?] is easily understandable for me. There are two or three example sentences and we can learn daily conversation. [There needs to be more explanation here.]
I learned two words from Hapa Eikaiwa.
First, I learned “breathtaking ”. The literal translation in Japanese is “息をとる”. This word can be used like “It was a breathtaking performance ”. The sentence’s Japanese translation is “素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした”. so in Japanese we can also be translated “素晴らしい” English definition?
Second, I learned “take forever”. This word’s usual translation is “永遠にかかる”. When you say that something “takes forever ” you are saying that something is taking a really really long time. “It’s taking me forever to finish this project ” プロジェクトを終わらせるのにすごく時間がかかっている。So in Japanese we can say "長時間かかる" [This one is better because you explain in both English and Japanese.]
[Don't indent. By this I mean no space before the first word of a paragraph.]

Uta - 5/9/2922
When I study English, I like to have the Japanese translation and advice written in Japanese. It's difficult at my level if everything is in English. I studied English on Akane's Instagram. I can learn various everyday English conversations from her. There are Japanese and English subtitles, so I can understand the meaning while listening. People with a high level of English can listen without subtitles. The video is about a minute long, so I can watch it easily in my spare time. And I can watch longer English conversations on her YouTube channel. I always use Instagram in my daily life. I thought it was [think it's] very convenient because I could [can] easily learn English on Instagram.
I learned some new words from Akane's Instagram. The first word is "swear". It means "誓う" in Japanese and "promise" in English. The second word is "awkward". It means "ぎこちない" in Japanese and "inept" in English. The third word is "crabby". It means "ご機嫌斜め" in Japanese and "grumpy" in English. The fourth word is "spoil". It means 甘やかす" in Japanese and "pamper" in English. The last word is "truce". It means "停戦" in Japanese and "armistice" in English. [Only two vocabulary words, please.]

Haruto - 5/9/2022
I used Moepi and Akane’s Instagram ESL. [We need the actual names of the accounts.]
First, I tried ESL at Moepi's Instagram account. [and felt that - delete] Many of the videos explain the differences between foreign countries and Japan. And I felt [feel] the video was [is] well edited and easy to watch. I found [find] it easy to learn because she also held [holds] seminars and I could [can] ask her questions directly. [Don't use the 'enter' key after each sentence.] [Present tense, not past.]
I found this account to be a good account for first learning English.
Next, I tried ESL at Akane and felt [feel] it was [is] for intermediate and advanced students because it shows real life in Canada and is very native. She basically puts all the videos in English with only a few translations. She makes videos on how to use ATMs and other topics of everyday conversation. I found [find] this account to be especially good for Japanese people living in Canada.
After using the two accounts, I felt [feel] that using these two accounts in sequence would be [is] a very good way to learn English.

Ryuya - 5/10/2022
I used Moepi's English conversation on TikTok. She introduces the differences between Japan and the U.S., as well as certain things in the U.S. I focused on the difference in the pronunciation of business names in Japanese and English. I looked at names like Godiva, IKEA, Costco, Nikon, and Twitter. If we say these company names as we say them in Japanese, it might create a difficulty in a conversation. This is true not only for company names, but there are also many words that we think are used in English but are slightly different from what we learn in Japan, such as the word "allergy." In Japanese, we say ‘arerugi-‘ but in English it is pronounced ˈælɚdʒi.
Overall, what I have learned through Moepi's TikTok is it is important to know that some business names do not make sense in English when spoken with Japanese pronunciation. [This is just repeating. Don't do this.] In her TikTok, she also introduced the hospitality difference between Japan and America using the cash register example. We should know that not everything we experience in Japan is a common thing in America. Therefore, not only the pronunciation difference, but also the culture difference is an important thing to know.
[What you wrote is OK, but what can you conclude? Is Moepi's site on TikTok useful for learning English? Is it better or worse than other ESL sites on TikTok? I need you to evaluate this site and explain whether it helps your English or not.]

I watched a TikToker called Kevin's English Room.They are made up of three members, a Japanese-American and two Japanese. They produce short videos with easy-to-understand explanations about cultural differences and the differences between Japanese and English language.I like this content because it is easy to understand, as there are easy-to-understand explanations in English, subtitles, and explanations of meaning. You can enjoy watching videos while learning English. In addition to providing translations, they introduce Japanese expressions that Americans think are difficult, and English expressions that Japanese think are difficult, so they explain in an easy-to-understand way what part of studying English Japanese people are not good at. [You need to give an actual example. This is only 106 words; too short. And you wrote easy-to-understand four times; you can't just repeat the same thing endlessly. - Kevin]
Koichi, I've told you many times that you need a space after a period. I"m not going to continue fixing these mistakes for you. In November, when it's time to submit a graduation report, you will have to fix all the mistakes by yourself. If they are not fixed at that time, you will fail the graduation report. One space after a period. It's not difficult.

I the Instagram account of a person name Moepi. She introduces English live and posts on Instagram. Many people can see the live performance of this Instagram. We can learn English not only by watching, but also by participating in live shows and making comments. We can easily comment on things that we don’t understand, and we can understand English even a little by talking with Moepi and others. Moepi teaches us the differences between Japan and the America. We can do it by telling me the differences between different patterns and knowing what you want to know. [?] There are subtitles, so we can understand easily. This Instagram account is easy to understand because it is explained in Japanese. I think it is very good for learning native English .
I learned two words through this site. The first one is “adjust”. This word means "alter or move (something) slightly in order to achieve the desired fit, appearance, or result." In Japanese, it is called “調整する”. The next one is “luggage”. This word mean "suitcases or other bags in which to pack personal belongings for travelling." In Japanese, it is called “荷物”. {This is good, Nene, but please put "quotation marks" around the English definitions too.]

Mayuko - 5/11/20122
I tried using Moepi's Instagram among many ESL videos. Moeppi lived abroad until the second grade of elementary school. This Instagram account explains the differences between overseas and Japan in a very easy to understand way. For example, there is a difference in reaction when being complimented, a difference in reaction when it rains, and a difference in changes [?] before and after studying abroad. Also, it was very interesting to see the introduction of companies with different pronunciations in Japanese and English. It is practical because it introduces expressions that can be used on a daily basis. Moepi sometimes does Instagram live and answers questions. There's also a listening quiz. Moepi's Instagram ESL videos can be used when traveling or studying abroad.
I learned two words from this Instagram. The first one is "out of place". The meaning in Japanese is "場違い". The second is "pig out ". The meaning in Japanese is "食べすぎた". [English definitions, too, please.]
When I was looking at Moepi's Instagram, I thought that Japanese were negative and foreigners were positive. I have the impression that Japanese people cannot express their opinions because they are concerned about the eyes of others, and that foreigners express their opinions clearly.

Yuito - 5/11/2022
I watched two groups of TikTok creators who promote English language learning. The first one is Kevin's English Room. The creators are a trio, one of whom, Kevin, is bilingual in Japanese and English, and deals mostly with English trivia. Other topics include cultural differences between the U.S. and Japan, mixed with English. What I learned in Kevin's English Room is that "American dog" in Japan is a Japanese expression. The actual expression in American English is "corn dog."
The next creator is called “ピーターの大冒険”. “ピーターの大冒険” [please include the romaji too] is another three-person group that performs short comedies, mostly in English. I often watch this show because it has both English subtitles and Japanese translations, so I can learn English by seeing and hearing with my eyes and ears. What I learned through this creator's video is that "サイダー" [please include the romaji too] in Japan means apple juice overseas, and when you want to order a carbonated drink, I should ask for soda.

By using Moepi's One-Fre [?] English Conversation on Instagram and TikTok. I can understand everyday life of America and the characteristics of Americans. The disadvantage of the Instagrram version is that recently, there is a lot of unimportant information, such as live distribution and consultation meetings. However, TikTok has the same information as Instagram, but there are no live concerts and information that doesn't matter. For this reason, I feel that TikTok is recommended.
Next is the professor's evaluation [?]. The account on Instagram is very easy to understand because it explains the grammar and the differences between English words . Instagram {>] is easier to understand than one-frame English conversation. [?] TikTok is not much different from Instagram. [?] However, there are videos of toilet paper and videos of rappers that I do not understand sometimes, so Instagram is recommended. [I don't understand this paragraph at all.] 140 words; too short

Hiyori - 5/12/2022
I used Instagram to study English conversation. I watched some videos, but the account II watched the most was Moepi English Conversation. The video that left a strong impression on me was "The difference between Japan and the United States at supermarket cashiers." Japanese cashiers handle products very carefully. On the other hand, American cashiers handle merchandise roughly. In particular, the eggs were handled roughly enough to make me think that they would break. And finally, I learned the usual greeting "Have a nice day". I laughed unintentionally, and it made me feel warm. I was very envious of the strong and humorous personality of Americans. The second video that impressed me was "The difference between America and Japan when the sound of music was heard while I was on the train." The Japanese respond to people who have are playing music by ignoring it or looking at it with suspicious eyes. Americans, on the other hand, listen to the music they hear and praise it as "good music." I was able to feel the open heart of Americans, and I became more and more fond of the country of America. Moepi is also good at pronouncing English, and her reaction is big and easy to understand like an American. Being Japanese, the words are easier for me to understand than the videos of foreigners' English conversation. And above all, Moepi is so cute that I enjoyed watching her and enjoyed studying with videos every day. After watching many videos, I realized again that at the end of an American conversation, I should use phrases that please the other person. I thought it was a wonderful habit to part with each other comfortably. [This is good, Hiyori. Can you really write like this?]

On the other hand, American cashiers handle merchandise roughly. In particular, the eggs were handled roughly enough to make me think that they would break. And finally, I learned the usual greeting "Have a nice day". I laughed unintentionally, and it made me feel warm. I was very envious of the strong and humorous personality of Americans. The second video that impressed me was "The difference between America and Japan when the sound of music was heard while I was on the train." The Japanese respond to people who have are playing music by ignoring it or looking at it with suspicious eyes. Americans, on the other hand, listen to the music they hear and praise it as "good music." I was able to feel the open heart of Americans, and I became more and more fond of the country of America. Moepi is also good at pronouncing English, and her reaction is big and easy to understand like an American. Being Japanese, the words are easier for me to understand than the videos of foreigners' English conversation. And above all, Moepi is so cute that I enjoyed watching her and enjoyed studying with videos every day. After watching many videos, I realized again that at the end of an American conversation, I should use phrases that please the other person. I thought it was a wonderful habit to part with each other comfortably. [This is good, Hiyori. Can you really write like this?]

I used Instagram to watch an English conversation video. I think Instagram is a very useful application. It's very convenient because you can see it at your favorite time. Also, there is one more useful thing; you can learn words in a short time. I can't understand videos that are only in English, so I searched for a video that would explain in Japanese. The account I found, Moepi's English, was easy to understand because it had both text and audio. Moepi posts about words used in everyday conversation. It is very easy to understand because it explains using English and Japanese. Also, it's interesting because she expresses the differences between Japanese and American culture. I learned a new word., ‘’jealous’’. This word is used when others seem to be better off than you and you want to be like them. The meaning in Japanese is ‘’妬ましい、嫉視’’.
I use Instagram on an everyday basis. I found it very reliable to learn from Instagram, which I enjoy using. There are many words I don't know yet. I want to continue learning many words using Instagram.

I have watched Moepi's English. Her videos are very interesting because she introduces the differences between the U.S. and Japan and what she experienced in the U.S. in a funny way. The videos have Japanese translations, and you can see the letters with your eyes while hearing the sounds. I learned the expressions below from Moepi's videos.
・English ・Japanese
[ It’s been a while! ] [ 久しぶり]
[ Great to see you again! ] [ また会えてうれしいよ ]
[ Long time no see. ] [ 久しぶり、しばらくだね ]
[ I missed you. ] [ 会いたかったよー ]
[ How is everything going? ] [ 調子どう? ]
All of these sentences have the same meaning, but their usage varies depending on the situation. I think I can use them a lot in my daily life, so Moepi's site is very helpful.
I also learned phrases for ordering at cafes. [Can I get〜 ] [ 〜ください。] This phrase can be used when ordering something. Can I get a hot coffee. ] [ Can I get a sandwich. ] [ Can I get a ice tea. ] You can use these in various situations at a cafe.
On Moepi's site, you can learn many phrases that you can use in your daily life. The videos also show what Moepi experienced abroad, which will be helpful for those who want to travel to other countries.

I am always using Instagram and TikTok. I can' t help but look at social networking sites on my phone when I have free time. Also, to learn English, I followed and watched people teaching English on Instagram. I'll introduce some of the people I've been following and recently found on Instagram and TikTok.
The account I recommend on Instagram is AK-English (@akane.iiii), which I've been watching since I was in high school. On this account, you can watch a video of a conversation between a native English speaker and a Japanese person who learned English as a second language. The subtitles are in English and Japanese, so it is easy to understand. You can learn a lot by listening to the voices without subtitles at first, and then watching the subtitles to see how well you have understood.
On TikTok, I found an account called ナツ's English Days (@natsu_lancul). This account shares information that will help you learn English. It also teaches you how to use the words in a conversational way, which makes it easy to use in everyday life.
The word [expression] I learned on Instagram is "pet peeve" . The meaning is something that especially annoys you. In Japanese, it means ”カンに障る”. At first I thought it was talking about animals when he mentioned the word pet, but I think it interesting that it meant something completely unrelated. The new word [expression] I learned on TikTok is "take a rain check". The meaning is "do something in the future but not now", which is used in Japan to politely say "またの機会にします".
I think it's good that the Instagram and TikTok apps make it easy to learn English in your spare time. I also think it's a good way to learn because people share slang and other words that native speakers use in their daily lives.

Ayaka - 5/3/2021
I used Instagram to watch English conversation videos almost every day. Instagram can be viewed in free time and we can know various words in a short time. I tried to listen only in English, but I didn't know how to use that word {?], so I searched for a video with Japanese people talking about English in Japanese.
I mainly watched two accounts, Moepi and Studyin.jp. Moepi's videos were easier for me to understand. Moepi posts about words we use in everyday conversation. Her videos are so interesting that I never get tired of watching them every day. I learned a new word. The word is “glum”. This word means when we are angry or not happy. The meaning in Japanese is “不機嫌、浮かない”.
Studyin.jp posts videos every day. This group teaches difficult words that people don't notice. It also posts words that Japanese should not translate directly when translating. It's very easy to understand. I learned a new word [expression]. The word is “keep your word”. This expression means to keep your promise. The meaning in Japanese is “約束を守る”.
I learned a lot of new words, but there are many words I don't know yet, so I will continue to study English using Instagram.
