                           ＜今後の抱負＞

上記の通りほとんど独学で英語はかなり、フランス語はまあまあ喋れるようになった経験を踏まえ、「誰でも、やりかた次第でかなりのレベルの外国語の習得は可能である」というメッセージを出来るだけ多くの人に伝えたいと思っている。インターネットはまだ日が浅いが、多くの人がネット上で英語に強くなりたいとの願いを述べられているのを知るにつけ、微力ながら少しでもお役に立ちたいと思っている。  
なお、2011年１月６日で73才になったが、今迄は語学の勉強に明け暮れ過ぎていた感が無きにしも非ずと思う。　これからは、その集大成として前述のことを念頭におきながら、趣味と実益を兼ね、まず北米大陸のドライブ走破に挑みたい。

                               <Hopes>

In view of the fact that I learned almost by myself and acquired fairly
good proficiency in English and moderately good proficiency in French conversation, I'm now in the belief that anyone could learn

a conversation in any foreign language if he or she deploy proper method. I would like to share this belief with as many people as possible and I wish that more and more people may become good speaker of English.

Well, I've reached at the age of 73 as of 2011.1.6
When I recollect those 73 years, I appear to have laid too much stress on the study of foreign languages. Bearing in mind the aforementioned important task being the goal for my life work, I'd like to take up one of my aforementioned hobbies and challenge to cover the whole distance around the U.S. by car. I'm planning to cover from S.F. to New York either this year or next year to begin with.
