Training

Today, we had training of "accounting "in our office. We'll have to do again in Thursday.
I am not a professional of accounting, I am an only salesperson. Of course, coworkers is same.
But, our manager says, "Now, salespersons not only must have an ability for sale, but also accounting".

Balance Sheet. Profit & Loss Statement. ROA...

But, I tried it, it was more interesting than I imagined! I'm looking forward to Thursday.
(Others might not be like me...)

“研修”

今日、会社で「会計」の研修を受けた。木曜日にまた受けなくちゃいけない。
僕は会計の専門じゃない。ただの営業マンだ。もちろん他の同僚も同じ。
でも、上司は「君たちは、今や販売の能力だけじゃなく、会計の能力も必要だ」って言う。

貸借対照表。損益計算書。ROA・・・

でも、やってみると、思ったより面白かった!木曜日が楽しみだよ。
(他の人は違うかもね・・・)

Good!

Today, we had accounting training in our office. We'll have to do it again on Thursday. My co-workers and I are not accounting professionals, just salespeople. However, our manager says, "Now, salespeople must have not only sales knowledge but also accounting knowledge."

Balance sheets, profit and loss satements, ROA...

But I tried it, and it was more interesting than I imagined! I'm looking forward to Thursday (but my co-workers may not be).

I'm glad you liked accounting, I had it in high school and found it to be very boring. Pretty good english by the way.

I like the idea of your blog. I am American but I do have a guilty pleasure. I watch Naruto episodes in Japanese with english subtitles. I wonder sometimes if the english is the accurate translations. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Maria Helena said...

That was good, you know? Timothy (above) basically corrected everything. I'd only add:

"It was more interesting than I had imagined", for the sake of perfect grammar, but it is completely understandable. Anyways, I'm no native to tell. I'm Brazilian.
Keep up! :)

Hello!
I find your use of English very expressive and enjoyable to read. Although I appreciate that you aim to have perfect grammar - a noble ambition as many native speakers struggle with this - you do communicate in a very nice way :)
PS I am Scottish.

I love your blog. If you don't know, today it is on blogs of note. I've actually have been learning Japanese, but those kanji are hard. Have fun!

elle said...

Timothy did a great job editing. You are so brave to put your English out there to be corrected. It's the best way to learn.

good job keep going but i do have a correction.."i am an only salesperson" should be "i am only a salesperson" keep it up

mrs. anderdaddy said...

you should listen to grammar girlspodcasts, they're very short and very informative. also listening to public radio (npr.org) is a great way to learn

You did a great job, but I think If I rewrote this it would be better if you had made little changes:

Today at the office we trained in accounting. We're going to have to do it again on Thursday. I am not a professional accountant, I am only a salesperson. Then again, so are the rest of my coworkers. But our manager said that salespeople today need to be able to sell as well as do accounting.

I hope this helped! I have a lot of international friends and I always try to help them make their writing a little more natural.

Your English is PERFECT!

Max said...

My Japanese is not good. I can understand only half of them. For the correction, I would like to be with Helena.
A year ago, a graduate student of U. of Tokyo made a short study visit (three months) in my research group. Her spoken English really impressed me. Did/do I have wrong impression about Japanese accent?

PDXBABA said...

Maybe some of the accountants should learn how to be better salesmen...

I’m new to blogging and have only read a few, but yours has enthralled me. A great use of a blog, a human story, and very interesting. Anyway, here’s my offering of how your piece should read;

Today we had accounting training in our office. We have to do it again on Thursday. I’m not a professional accountant, I’m a salesperson, as are my co-workers. But our manager says, “Now, the salesperson must have an ability not only for selling but for accountancy too.” Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Statement, ROA, etc. I tried it, it was more interesting than I imagined! I'm looking forward to Thursday. (Others might not be...).

Try this useful website too.

What a great idea! I'm an English teacher in Hiroshima, and I think I'll recommend my students to try a blog like yours. Keep up the good work and your English will soon be perfect!

I see your mistakes in grammar. Anyway, this is already good, because I oftenly have gramatical errors.
Why don't you take a look to my blog please:

I'm English (born and Bred) and think that what you have wrote is understandable.
It's better than of the British natives written work - keep it up.

If you enjoy reading English, how about trying my blog (doweneedanotherhero.blogspot)

Freya said...

Hey, now this is one different blog. And you are not bad at all. I personally believe that studying makes things slow. The fastest way to master English is to simply read books. Story books, novels etc. I bet you'll become a pro in months.

DRhys said...

This is really cool!
I've always wanted to learn how to speak Japanese so I'm giving it a try too.
Learning how to write it might be a tad bit harder...

But anyways:
Minor errors in use of certain words like "in" instead of "on"
and "is" instead of "are the"

but you really are doing very well!

I commend you for your creative solution to learning another language.
I find your blog very understandable and quite charming. I enjoy seeing photos of places foreign to me and reading your blog helps me to understand the Japanese culture better. Thanks for reaching out to us through words.

Trying to learn to write Thai myself.

"Now, salespersons not only must have an ability for sale, but also accounting".

Your english and grammer is good, but the message is unclear. Why would a salesperson need to know accounting? What is the benefit to your employer for providing this training?

Can you post a Balance Sheet in Japanese?
