Learning English grammar and vocabulary is excellent fun!   

However, to master the language, you must use it genuinely to discuss various topics and learn new things in English.   

That means discussing issues and themes you like and those you do not.    

I will be the first to tell you that perfection is impossible because no one and nothing is perfect.   

With that said, it is human nature to strive for perfection.   

Maintain your discipline and learn something new every day.  

The key to improvement is consistency and repetition. 

This is a brief introduction to the English conversation lesson, Slow Living.  

I'm sure you'll find it engaging and insightful.  

You can access the webpage for the lesson Slow Living here:  https://links.artisanenglish.jp/LessonSlowLiving
