CONCEPT

Hi. I'm Gena. I'm half American, half Japanese. I'm living in Japan for most of my life. I went to high school in America for about a year. That was the only time I lived in States, and only time I lived in life of English world.

My parents speak perfect Japanese, so I never had a chance to learn English from them. Only time my dad spoke in English was when he got excited by watching football or when he is having fight with mom. Anyway, so I couldn't speak or understand English until I go to high school in States.

After I came back to Japan, I couldn't study with my Japanese English teacher because of his poor English. I skipped all English class in my Japanese high school, but kept high scores on the test.

I went four year college in Japan, and got job as a SE.  Five years later, I quit SE and now I'm working as an editor of some linguistic books and magazines. I like my job as far as I can learn English and get new method of study or results of study. However, I also find that some unbelievable factors in this English industry which is getting huge day by day.

In order to keep what I find and what I thought, I decided to leave some memo in here as my note.

In future, I want to learn linguistics in graduate college. It is my dream. So to make my dream come true, memo here will help me remember and help to create ideas for my goal.
