Junior high speech for the national speech contest
英語弁論大会のスピーチ
Every year junior high students across Japan compete with their English speeches. Every junior high picks one student to write a speech (usually in Japanese), for it then to be translated/edited and practiced in preparation for the competition. This year I worked with the student to not only develop her speech, but also translate it and teach the nuances of English pronunciation.
毎年日本の中学生は英語弁論大会でスピーチをします。各中学校は一人の生徒を選んで日本語でスピーチを書きます。このスピーチを翻訳や編集して２ヶ月くらい練習します。今年は生徒とスピーチを作る手伝いをしただけじゃなくて、翻訳や英語のニュアンスも教えました。

Travel Izu tourism website
観光サイト：『Travel Izu』
As someone who loves the Izu Peninsula, I created a tourism website to help bring English to Izu and provide information to foreign visitors. All of the information was collected by myself, translated and then edited to provide relevant information, as well as my own personal recommendations/experiences.
伊豆半島では英語の情報が少ないので、外国人向けに英語で対応した伊豆に特化した観光案内のサイト「Travel Izu」を立ち上げました。全ての情報は自分で集め、翻訳し、編集しました。自分のお勧めや経験も書いてあります。
