I went for a walk today in beautiful Kiba Park.
Check out the picture → _ →
桜が咲きそうになっている!!
今週末みんなでお花見に行くから今日咲きそうになっている桜ちゃんを見て嬉しかったです!!
So, today`s phrase is…
The cherry blossoms are almost blooming!!
To say 「何々しそうになっている」 in English use this patern:
主語 + be動詞 + almost + (動詞)ing
Here are some more examples:
That girl is almost crying. (あの子泣きそうになってる)
The water is almost boiling. (お湯が沸きそうになってる)
And I`m tired and almost falling asleep so that`s all for today. I`m looking forward to enjoying お花見 with some of you this weekend! See you!

When I meet Japanese people for the first time they often ask me…
バーで知り合った女の子:How long Japan?
ボブ: はい ?_? Hmmnn…well…Honshu is about 1,300 kilometers long. (本州の長さは1,300キロメートルぐらいですってこと) ^ _ -
Actually, they want to ask me…
Have you lived in Japan a long time?
“Have you lived in Japan a long time?” and “How long have you lived in Japan?” はネイティブの英語です。 ということで・・・
英語で「どのくらい何々してるの?」って聞きたいときは現在完了形か現在完了進行形を使います。 Let`s practice:
How long have you been working for IBM? (どのぐらいIBMに勤めているの?)
How long have you been goin out? (どのくらい付き合ってるの?)
How long have you been writing this blog?
For about 20 minutes! And it`s dinner time so that`s all for today!
