@nishio: I let my guard down thinking, “I’ll never need English speaking skills again in my life,” and suddenly I need them by a month from now. You can never let your guard down. I guess I should charge for an English conversation school and force myself to spend time speaking only English. I think I was level 6 at Gaba back in the day, wonder how much I’m dropping by not using it…

nishio I bought a Bone Conduction Headset so I can listen to English podcasts and try to get to the next event venue

  • nishio It was great for walking to the station, but not when the train starts running. I also brought my AirPods in case that happens.

  • @kuboon: @nishio I also recommend a combination of bone conduction and earplugs

  • When I put in earplugs, I suddenly hear bone conduction better.

@nishio: seems to be a Murder Mystery from China! image
