こんにちは 私はカリフォルニア出身の26歳で、昨年留学生として早稲田大学へ通った。 日本語能力はまだまだで、来年までまでに、会話や文法等練習しなければならないと思っています。 今Language Exchangeの相手を探していて、私としては一週間で決まった曜日の同じ時間にSkypeで合えるのが理想ですけど、もちろんメールでも大丈夫です。 毎回宿題や分からないニュアンスがある小説を持っていくので、いろいろ教えてもらえたらと思います。 僕からは家庭教師として、上級ビジネス英語や英語の発音を教えることができます。来年英語教師として働くともりなので、初級や中級のレベルも構いません。 真面目に英語を勉強している方、お互いに言語習得に頑張りましょう。連絡待ってます。 26 year old guy looking for some language exchange with native Japanese speakers. I've taught business English and pronunciation in the past, this isn't my first rodeo! As i get better I should be able to give better explanations of English in Japanese as well. I'm constantly studying, so I'll typically have something that I don't understand or some nuance to work out that I could use help with. If not, I can always use the conversation practice, as there's basically no one hear to practice with on a regular basis, much less someone that is willing to correct me (why is that so rare anyways?). Anyways, if you'd like, please feel free to get in contact with me and see if we're a suitable match.

    「押しも押されもせぬ存在」ってどういう意味？ 完全な文章は 「新聞紙上のたった二行の褒め言葉が、無名だった画家を励まして、押しも押されもせぬ存在に導いた話がある。」

    「...たら...で」という表現なのです。 日本語文型辞典から： 例：母は寒がりで冬が苦手だが、それでは夏が好きかというとぞうではない暑かったら暑かったで文句を言っている。 例：息子には大学に受かってほしいが、受かったら受かったでお金が要って大変だ。 状況をあまり好ましいととらえないで、「どちらにしても大変だ/問題だ」という意味を示す場合がある。 この本からの説明でした。もし日本語しか書いてない説明を読めばとても役に立ちます：http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E%E6%96%87%E5%9E%8B%E8%BE%9E%E5%85%B8-%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B7%E3%82%A4/dp/4874241549/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357044560&sr=8-1

    日本語の母国語の人じゃないけど、誰も答えていないらしいので、ちょっと説明してみます。 「ワイルド」とは、英語の「Wild」という意味なんです。熟語で書くと、野性だと思います。 大抵、言葉が知らない場合では、Googleにその知らない言葉と、「とは」と一緒にタイプすると、適当な意味が出てきます。 たとえばこの場合では、「ワイルドとは」Googleで探したら、意味が出てきます。 https://www.google.com/search?aq=f&oq=%E3%83%AF%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%83%89%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AF&sugexp=chrome,mod=13&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%E3%83%AF%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%83%89%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AF

    The sentence alone is grammatically correct. However, the sentence is written in a very specific way. There are only certain contexts in which this sentence would be correct. Basically, by itself it is correct. I cannot know if it is correct within a paragraph if you don't provide it.

    Places in the countryside grow very slowly. Places in the countryside have more farm land than places in the city areas. The city areas are better researched.

    "Pick up" usually means you're going to go talk to her and try to get her phone number, etc almost right away. This makes "waiting a long time" in the second sentence seem really strange. You would either have to change the second sentence to something like, "Haha, you have no chance" or change the first sentence to, "I'm going to date that girl." Even so, changing the first sentence seems really unnatural, because I can't think of any situation involving dating where the response would be, "you're going to be waiting a long time." A more suitable answer would be, "you have no chance," or, "get in line," or "no way."

    What follows after the comma describes what margut is: "a hunk of intestine from a baby calf that is filled with partially digested milk." I can't find this word in a dictionary, but based on the sentence's structure that's what it means. "Son-of-a-gun" is a softer version of a swear-word. The term comes from a stronger, more offensive swear-word. Sometimes, people will either replace a word with a different word, or just use a single letter for part of a swear word. For example, "F you!" or "Son-of-a-B!"

    Here's a few. Please note that some are for other countries (but they are marked as such), and some are exclusively for ONE English-speaking country and not for others. The United States, England, Ireland, Australia, etc each have their own unique gestures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHSe1ogHYUw
