Learning a Language

My name is Zoe, I'm Chinese and I've been learning English for about 1year. s, I like English but I am working in a Japanese company, .so I haven't had enough opportunity to learn English. And I can't speak Japanese either ,too.That's too bad. But My boss can speak Chinese. I often learn English after work by myself. For example, I listen to some English songs and watch some American movies ... I think it's an easy way to learning English.

My name is Zoe, and I'm Chinese. I have been learning English for about one year. I like English, but I work in a Japanese company so I haven't much opportunity to practice English. Yet I can't speak Japanese, either. That's too bad. However my boss can speak Chinese. After work I often teach myself English. For example, I may listen to some English songs or watch an American movie. I think it's an easy way to learn English.

Zoe, if you have been learning English for only one year, then you are doing extremely well.  There are small errors in your composition, but your meaning is very clear and your use of grammar is very good. Well done!

Please allow me to provide you with a little help.

First, when writing English sentences, be sure to add a space (" ") after commas, stops, question marks, and exclamation marks.  For example:

"And I can't speak Japanese,too.That's too bad."

The spacing should be like this:

"And I can't speak Japanese, too. That's too bad."

Second, remember that we add an "s" after a noun only if there is more than item.

"I have one apple."

"She has two apples."

Therefore, your second sentence should not have an "s" after the noun "year":

"I have been learning English for about 1 year."

"Next year, I will have been learning English for two years."

Third, if the next word starts with a vowel ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'), the word "a" changes to "an":

"I have a book."

"I have an apple."

"You have a coat."

"I have an umbrella."

"It is a hard way to learn English."

"It is an easy way to learn English."

Finally, when writing, we spell any number up to ten.

"I only have one book."

"I visited China ten years ago."

"I am 21 years of age."

"There are over 200 people in my school."

Again, your English is really very good.  What you are doing to learn English is definitely working.  Keep it up!

Sorry, one of my tips was not quite right.  I said that we add an "s" to a noun only if there is more than one item.  That was not a good tip, because we also add an "s" if there are no items.  

"I have no apples."

"She has one apple."

"He has three apples."

I should have said that we normally add an "s" to the noun, except when there is only one item. 

Hi Zoe.  You asked me this question in a comment:

"I see, thank you very much. I have a question.  You said, "we also add an "s"." "s" is not "a,e,i,o,u" but why did you use "an"?"

This is a very good question.  However the answer is not simple, so I cannot use a comment.  I must write a longer answer here.

We use "an" if the next word starts with a vowel ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u').

"For breakfast I ate an egg.  For lunch I ate a sandwich."

Here, "sandwich" is a word starting with 's', and therefore I use 'a' before 'sandwich'. 

However, there is an exception when we are describing letters, not words.  For example, while the letter 's' is not a vowel, but its sound is 'es'.  While the letter 'h' is not a vowel, but its sound is 'ay-ch'.

"For lunch I ate a sandwich.  The word sandwich starts with an 's'."

"I work in a hotel.  The word hotel starts with an 'h'."

Please say each of these sentences:

"The word sandwich starts with a 's'."

"The word sandwich starts with an 's'."

The first one sounds wrong, which is why we have an exception when describing letters.  It it a rare exception, yet unfortunately it occurred within my reply.  That was not helpful to you, sorry.
