私は英語の使い方に注意した方が良い。

Before I get on to this year's important topics, there's still a bit of catching up to do regarding last year's posts. 

I'm writing this post while I have a cup of tea and cookies at a cafe near our classrooms.

I am encouraged by the progress of my students. Back on December 14, I was writing about the difference between "raise" and "rise". In that post, I made an English mistake!

A few of you had not only the sharp eyes to catch my mistake, but also the confidence to bring it to my attention.

・sharp eye　鋭い［刺すような］目［視線］(definition from Eijiro on the Web)

・bring ~ to someone's attention ～を（人）に気付かせる、～に（人）の目［注意］を向けさせる、（人）を～に注目させる (definition from Eijiro on the Web)

Here's my mistake:

× If you want to ask me a question, you don't have to raise you hand; just send me email!

◯ If you want to ask me a question, you don't have to raise your hand; just send me email!

There's no explanation for the mistake; it's just a silly mistake that I should have caught. Thanks again to everyone who pointed it out.
