Hanako’s aim of studying English here is to become fluent in both speaking and listening. She perceives the role of grammar differently in speaking and in writing. She says, “I almost never think about grammar in speaking,” although she admits that she needs her grammatical knowledge to make correct sentences in writing. When she first arrived here, she was more careful in speaking, thus she took a long time to make up a grammatical sentence before beginning to talk. However, since she was advised by her Canadian friend that native speakers just talk whatever comes up to mind, she is trying to speak as promptly as possible to gain the fluency.
