Talk to myself 日本語母語話者として

i’ve been to many countries since I was born.
I was born in Japan and raised also in Japan.
when I was 15 years old I Went to UK.
At the time, I learned the English language which young people speak.
And then I came back to Japan when I became 16 years old.

In high school, I learned grammar-based English so that made me bored, And I felt that I was inferior to Study Japanese style English Because I couldn’t get good marks on those kind of tests.

Later in University, One of my Senpai studied abroad. after he came back I talked with him and I realized that his vocabulary is much more mature than mine.
I felt a little Embarrassed because before studying abroad I’ve practiced speaking English for him, who could speak a little English.

After I became an English teacher, I met some students who can speak better than me. That is why I decided to study English much more.

However, keeping learning studying English in Japan is really hard for me. Also, it’s very hard to correct my English in natural way.
so speaking to myself it’s one of a good practice because I can see how I speak with my smart phone. And I can check what kind of mistake I made. To check my speaking is natural or not , I use DeepL to Translate; from my English to Japanese, then Japanese to English.
I can show you how I translated.

I was born and have been to many countries.
I was born and raised in Japan.
When I was 15, I went to England.
That is when I learnt English spoken by young people.
Then I came back to Japan when I was 16.

In high school, I learnt grammar-based English, which bored me and made me feel inferior to studying Japanese-style English.

When a senior student from my university returned to Japan and I spoke to him, I discovered that his vocabulary was much more mature than mine.
I felt a little embarrassed because I had practised speaking English for him before my study abroad, when I could speak a little English.

After I became an English teacher, I met students whose English was better than mine. So I decided to study English more.

However, it is really hard to keep studying English in Japan. It is also very difficult to correct my English in a natural way.
Therefore, talking to myself is a good practice because I can check how I am speaking on my smartphone. You can also check what mistakes you have made. To check if my speech is natural, I use DeepL to translate it.
