DIY Fish Viewer
Mar
25
I made a fish-viewing box from a sheet of clear perspex (クリアアクリル), which I bought at a hardware store (about ¥200 for A3 size). To bend it, I used a blow torch. Next I used a glue gun to attach the side pieces. Finally I tested it using my pet loach (どじょう ).
I`m looking forward to using it with tropical fish when I visit Miyakojima. Please check my blog next week to see what I caught!
Grammar:
- To 動詞... I 動詞... = I 動詞... to 動詞...
- To 動詞...please 動詞... = Please 動詞... to 動詞...

Coronavirus Chaos
Mar
23
Things have been pretty chaotic due to the caronavirus outbreak. Although our school has been closed to students, we`ve been busy with things which I`ll blog about soon. But first things first (でも重要な事から先に始めよう). Teragoya`s website has been given a facelift. The address is the same (https://teragoya.net/) but to find my blog, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on ブログ. Then click on the handsome guy on the right. Of course, if you bookmark my blog (https://en.bloguru.com/otto), you don`t need to do this.
Pronunciation:
chaos 名詞: ケイ.オス chaotic 形容詞: ケイ.オ.チク
