I'm not sure what else to say about myself! Haha.

    "You can easily read the English version of this book on your smart phone, computer, ipad, or other portable device." I hope you don't mind if I also correct the other sentences you wrote: "I want to change this sentence. To be more natural sentence, please help me!" --> "I want to change this sentence to make it more natural. Please help me!"

    "What's up?" is a casual greeting that basically means "What's happening in your life right now?" "Not much, how about you?" is indeed the standard answer to this question. But "What's up?" isn't quite the same as "How are you?", so I wouldn't answer with "I'm fine, thank you." "What's up?" can also be used in the context of asking someone what's wrong. You can say it to someone who looks sad or frustrated, for instance.

    Usually you would say 会いたい (aitai), which literally means "I want to see (meet) you." You could also say 寂しい (sabishii), which means "I'm lonely (without you)." But there is no exact equivalent for "I miss you" when talking to a person.

    "Businessman" is a general word for a man who works in any kind of business-- basically any kind of white-collar job. "Merchant" refers more specifically to someone who sells something, often one specific item or category of items, and often in a setting like a marketplace. "Dealer" refers to either a person or a company from whom/which customers can purchase a certain product. It is also the word we use to refer to people who sell things illegally-- for example, "drug dealer". And a trader is someone who trades one product for another product, instead of charging money for it. This is how I personally understand these words as a native speaker of American English. But it's possible that other native speakers might feel differently.

    Josetaca01さん、こんにちは！ 二十日間で夏休みが始まる、だから私はあの日を待っている。 ＞あと二十日間で夏休みが始まるので、その日を持っています。 今時私は何かをするを探しています。 ＞最近何かすることを探しています。 しかし、ペルーで仕事を探しは硬いです仕事の経験を持ちでない場合わ。 ＞しかし、ペルーでは経験を持っていなければ、仕事を見つけるのは難しいです。 現在私は本を読むとか友達と映画館で行く。 ＞最近私は本を読んだり、友達と映画館に行ったりしています。 これらは私の唯一の活動である。 ＞それが唯一の活動です。（それ以外は何もしていません。） 仕事をもっているといなあ。 ＞仕事を持っていればいいなぁ。 ＊注意点： １。「です」や「ます」を使うんだったら、基本的には文章全体に使った方が良いです。 ２。基本的には、文脈から理解できる場合は「私」を抜いた方が自然です。使いすぎたらちょっとぎこちない感じになりますので、気をつけてください。

    First of all, it should be 歌を歌いたい and 歌を歌いたいです。 These both have the same meaning. The only difference is that adding "desu" makes it a little more polite or formal.

    "Interesting" can describe any noun, but "interested" only refers to how a person feels. So a book can be "interesting", but it cannot be "interested" because it does not have feelings. So, "I'm interested in this book, because it is interesting." As another example, I could be "excited" to go on a trip. *I* am excited, because *the trip* is exciting. Does that make sense?

    Neither of these sentences are really natural. You could say "What I'm asking of you and your husband is to come back soon." But it's more natural to just say "I'm asking you and your husband to come back soon."

    The first one should be "Do you like camping outdoors?". The second sentence is correct.

    These pronouns have to agree in gender and number with the nouns attached to them. For example: mon fils = my son (masculine singular) ma fille = my daughter (feminine singular) mes enfants = my children (plural) The words "my" (mon/ma/mes), "his/her" (son/sa/ses) and the informal "your" (ton/ta/tes) each have a masuline singular, feminine singular, and plural form. So we can change the above three examples as follows: son fils = his/her son (masculine singular) sa fille = his/her daughter (feminine singular) ses enfants = his/her children (plural) ton fils = your son (masculine singular) ta fille = your daughter (feminine singular) tes enfants = your children (plural) "Our" (notre/nos), "their" (leur/leurs), and the formal and/or plural "you" (votre/vos), on the other hand, only have two forms: a gender-neutral singular and a plural. So with these pronouns, the same three examples would be as follows: notre fils = our son (masculine singular) notre fille = our daughter (feminine singular) nos enfants = our children (plural) leur fils = their son (masculine singular) leur fille = their daughter (feminine singular) leurs enfants = their children (plural) votre fils = your son (masculine singular) votre fille = your daughter (feminine singular) vos enfants = your children (plural) I hope this helps! I'd be happy to give more examples if you need them.
