Can you use the 기도 해요 construction in the same sentence as the first verb? Just want to confirm: In Talk To Me in Korean's Level 2 Lesson 14, they teach how to use 도 with verbs. Example: 나는 한국어를 공부해요. 그런데, 한국어를 가르치기도 해요 - I study Korean. However, I also teach Korean. (Is that correct?) My question is, can you say the following? 나는 한국어를 공부하고, 가르치기도 해요. - I study and also teach Korean. SECONDARY QUESTION: They said that "기" is used to "make the verb into a noun." Is that really true? It seems to be more like a verb construction, similar to using 고 or 저마세요. I normally think the way to make verbs into nouns is by using 는 것. Am I correct, or can something like 가르치기 stand alone or be used differently? Thanks. :)

用日文，怎么说“中秋节快乐”？ 日本語：月見、中秋節 那通常用日文怎么说“中秋节快乐”？ 我尝试了 月見 和 中秋節 以后加 おめでとう　和　楽しんで　不过看起来像google找到至多5000项结果。 Normally, how do you say "Happy Mid-Autumn / Moon Festival" in Japanese?

Chez amis vietnamiens Ces phrases seront simples parce qu'ils sont traductions d'une entrée japonaise. Ah, Monsieur Japonais, bon soir. C’était longtemps, n'est-ce pas? C'est temps d’écrire encore en japonais. Je pense qu'il serait un peu difficile. Quelques mois antérieurs, j'ai rendu visite à certains amis vietnamiens. Nous avons pensions que cinq autres amis viendraient. Mais quand j'arrivais, j'ai vu il y a seulement une voiture. Donc, je m'ai rejoint avec deux amis. Mon ami masculin a dit q'une autre amie viendra vraiment. D'abord, nous parlions de sa moto. Après, nous parlions un peu de l'école. J'ai parlé aussi avec sa femme. Elle aussi étudie le japonais. Quand l'autre amie arrivait, nous avons eu le dîner. Je dit que j'ai vu le début d'un concert de Hatsune Miku. "J'ai entendu une chose étrange." "Ils ont dit: '준비をいいですか?　준비をいいですか?‘“ ”’Quoi? Qu'est-ce qu'il y a? Elles ont parlé coréen?' J'ai pensé. 'Peut-être...sera que ce mot est la même?' J'ai allé à Google Translate. J'ai vu que j’étais correct." 準備 准备 준비 Toutes sont la même chose! Mon amie qui étudie le japonais a dit quelque chose semblable à ce que j'avais dit. Elle a dit "C'est la même chose en Vietnamien! C'est chuẩn bị!" Très intéressant, n'est-ce pas? C’était des temps amusantes. ````````````````````````````````````````` These sentences will be a bit simple since this is a translation of a Japanese entry. Ah, Mr. Japanese, good evening. Been a long time, hasn't it? It's time to write Japanese once more. I think this will be a bit difficult. A few months back, I went to a Vietnamese friend's house. We thought 5 others would come. However, when I got there, I saw there was only one car. So I met with two friends. Soon, one more friend really would come, my male friend said. At first, we talked about his motorcycle. Afterwards, we talked a little bit about school. I also talked with his wife. She also studies Japanese. When the other friend came, we ate dinner. I watched the beginning of a Hastune Miku concert, I said. ”I heard something strange.” "They said '준비をいいですか?　준비をいいですか?'" "'What the heck? What's this? They spoke Korean?' I thought. ‘Maybe... could this word be the same?’ I went to Google Translate. I found I was correct!" 準備 准备 준비 They're all the same! The friend who is learning Japanese also said something similar. "It's the same in Vietnamese!" she said. "It's chuẩn bị！” Interesting, isn't it... ^^ It was a good time.

ベトナムの友達の家に (I'm practicing the informal / plain constructions because I find the です & ます level of politeness pretty easy.) ああ、日本語さん、こんばんは。 Ah, Mr. Japanese, good evening. 久しぶりだな? Been a long time, hasn't it? 日本語をもう一度書くの時間だ。 It's time to write Japanese once more. これは、ちょっと難しいと思う。 I think this will be a bit difficult. いつかの月に、ベトナムの友達の家に行った。 A few months back, I went to a Vietnamese friend's house. 僕らは五人も来ると思った。 We thought 5 people would also come. (Would prefer: We thought 5 others would come.) でも僕が来る時に、一つの車しかありませんを見た。 But when I got there, I saw there was only one car. それで、二人の友達と会った。 So I met with two friends. すぐに、本当に、一人の友達も行、男の友達と言った。 Soon, one more friend really would come, my male friend said. 始めに、彼のオートバイを話した。 At first, we talked about his motorcycle. 後に、学校をちょっと話した。 Afterwards, we talked a little bit about school. それから、と彼のワイフも話した。 I also talked with his wife.　(I haven't yet studied well the different ways to say wife; I don't know which to use!) 彼女も日本語を勉強している。 She also studies Japanese. ほかの友達来た時に、晩ご飯の食べた。 When the other friend came, we ate dinner. 初音みくの音楽会の始めを見ました、と言った。 I watched the beginning of a Hastune Miku concert, I said. 「変のことを聞きました。」 ”I heard something strange.” 「『준비をいいですか?　준비をいいですか?』と言った。」 "They said '준비をいいですか?　준비をいいですか?'" 「何だよ??　何これ?　韓国語を話しましたか?」と思った。 "What the heck? What's this? They spoke Korean?" I thought. 「たぶん...この単語が同じでしょうか？」と思った。Google　Translateに行った。 "Maybe... could this word be the same?" I thought. I went to Google Translate. 僕が正しいと見た！ I found I was correct! 準備 准备 준비 全て同じだ! They're all the same! 日本語を勉強するの友達も、相似のことを言った。 The friend who is learning Japanese also said something similar to what I said. 「ベトナム語に同じです!」と言った。Chuẩn bị です！」 "It's the same in Vietnamese!" she said. "It's chuẩn bị！” おもしろいな～～～ ^^ Interesting, isn't it... ^^ 楽しい時間だった。 It was a good time.

刚刚开始了 你好你好，我叫罗义。我是美国人，自学中文一年半，然后上了一个二年级中文课。最近毕业了，以后我上了一个工程课去中国看很多的有名的地方和建筑，旧的也新的。我在中国三个星期半，练习说中文很多了，让我进步很多。南方的口音可怕，呵呵。开玩笑了，就听得懂有一点难。有一些好朋友是南方的。 我已经用另外的网站叫Lang8，跟这个差不多一样，不过人们主要只写，纠正日记。我到这儿来了因为想找到一些人能用skype跟我练习说。 请你们看看我的资料，读我的兴趣爱好，然后可以练习我。我想继续练习中文，不过刚才开始主要练习日文。还有，我一点学广东话和韩国文。我也最近开始了学如何读越南文。
