Readable Blog

I got some answers from you here and on Twitter. (If you are an English learner, you can follow me on Twitter at readable. If you’re an English teacher, you can follow me at talkclouds. Of course, if you are both, you can follow both!)

Thank you for telling me what you think. It sounds like many people are interested in a blog about daily life and other topics. It sounds like you’ll be happy to have something that’s easy to read in English. I would like to do that for you, so I’ll be changing this blog to be mostly an easy English journal.

However, I also want to change the design. So please wait while I fix it. It might look strange while I get it ready. Don’t be surprised if it changes several times!

Hi, everyone!

Recently, it’s been difficult for me to write here. Because of this, I’m thinking about changing this blog. I want to write here more often, and I want it to be useful to you (ESL and EFL learners).

Here’s my question for you:

I’ll include some notes about idioms or slang if I use them. I’ll try to include pictures, too.

I think it’s useful to read easy-to-understand English, because that’s one of the best ways to improve grammar, vocabulary, etc. However, it’s really hard to find easy-to-understand English online. That’s why I’m thinking about doing this.

Please comment by clicking on Write a Comment and then Submit a Comment. Tell me if you think this is a good idea.

I’m worried about one thing: my life in the San Francisco Bay Area of the USA might not be very exciting!

If you have any ideas or questions, please tell me. If there’s something you’d like me to write about, please tell me.

If you don’t like my idea and you want me to do something else, you can tell me that, too.

Thank you!

(I still think “Pitfalls” and “Good Words,” etc., are useful, and I’m thinking about a new site where I could put those. I’m also thinking about a site where I could introduce special topics such as 外来語 and 和製英語 for my Japanese readers. So if you are interested in grammar and advance topics, don’t worry–I’m not giving up.)

If you are an EFL or ESL teacher, please come join us at my new blog for ESL and EFL teachers, Talk to the Clouds. If you think it’s interesting, please tell your colleagues about it. Thank you!
