Asking for Her Hand
Hi there =)
After quite a long break I made it back in the forum and will probably be able to stay for some longer time in here =).
However, I wanna make a proposal to my sweetheart who is Japanese. She knows it and after I asked her she agreed that it was nice if I would ask her dad for permission - or is blessing better? What do you think is better for traditional Japanese people (her parents agree to be together with me for the future)?
And in what words shall I do that? Now since I've finished studying French I am able to start doing Japanese because of being together with her and of course also being interested in the Japanese culture and language. Could you give me a hint? I will do it in a few months so there remains still some time to prepare some more kind of speaking skills. (I do already speak a little and can write/pronounce Hiragana and Katakana but until now I simply haven't had time for studying more.
I would be really greateful for some useful answer =)I do not want to look up on the Internet since I want to be sure and not on "good luck" =)
Also I do not want to ask my girlfriend - do not need to explain that I guess =)

Subjonctif trouver
I am currently learning the French subjonctif and am looking at exceptions. But something confused me:
"Je trouve qu'elle est belle" is a positiv sentence and I must not use the subjonctif.
"Je ne trouve pas qu'elle soit belle" is a negative sentence and I must use the subjonctif.
Well, I found several lists, for example this one here under point (6) http://grammatik.woxikon.de/subjonctif-franzoesisch.php that I can use it in a positive sentence. So must I use the subjonctif in a positive one or must I not use it?
And with esperer, is this correct that in the modern French I use the subjonctif in a negative way, or must I not use it anyway?
Thanks for your answer in advance ! =))example: Je le trouve fantastique que + subjonctif

Translation: founded in May 2013 | Culture
I am creating a logo for soccer club on which "founded in May 2013" should be written.
Unfortunately I am not used to Japanese language yet, what's the reason why I need your help.
Google translator suggests:
2013年5月に設立された
Is this correct?
Thank you for your correction or confirmation ! =)

Another question about Japanese culture. I am searching for the whole evening now for a webpage on which I can read detailed information about Japan and its population (How big are the houses, do they live together, waht's a typical activity, what about travelling and thinkings of other cultures and and and... =S. Wikipedia and several other ones do only consider the main infos which I already know. I would be pleased if somebody can suggest me an appropriate one for me =).

End of a letter to a really close friend
I have got a question about the end of one of my snail mail to a really close female friend (penpal).
But I don't want to write "best wishes" what is just to personal. Neither I don't want to write "with love" what can be misunderstood I suppose... =S.
I am not sure what it does exactly mean if I write, "Yours, Sandro" or kind of that.
Can anyone give me some help?
Maybe you should know the current situation: She is not my girlfriend - but it's not unthinkable that it could change some time in the future. Maybe it makes a difference.. =)

Any Difference in this example? (If/whether)
I am currently studying for my CPE exam and my software marks wrong if I use "whether" instead of "if" in following case. But I insist that you can use whether as well, can't you? What do native speakers say?
I was wondering if you could give me a hand filling in this application form.
I was wondering whether you could give me a hand filling in this application form.Original sentence was this one:
Do you think you could help me to fill in this application form?
I had to say the same thing in using "wondering"
