Helping People Understand Each Other Keiichiro Sugimoto from Japan Sometimes it was because native English is a bit different from what I learned at school. Sometimes it was because of cultural difference. I thought those problems might be common to all Japanese. And also I thought if American people know our problems, it may help them to understand Japanese people. So when I started my web site, I decided to show my experiences in essays and to make a list of Japanglish (Janglish) words. Isn't it nice if you can be of help to people understanding each other? When Tim Mossman at CIC suggested to me his idea to let his students translate my essays, at first I was a bit hesitant because I wanted to translate them by myself. But when his students sent me their comments on my website, I noticed it was very nice to have more people sharing my experience through translating my essays. Nice idea! I think I am very lucky that my site was found by Tim and it is a honor that he uses my essays for his class. And it is a miracle to me that my site can be introduced to more people like this. Thank
you. Contact Keiichiro: keiichiro@worldnet.att.net Visit his website: http://home.att.net/~keiichiro All three of the stories published in this issue were originally published on Keiichiro Sugimoto's's fascinating site. Take a look. There's lots more to discover!
