I am a vetenarian working in Osaka, and looking for opportunities to improve my English to gain North American vet license. I would like to improve my English especially on writing, since my writing is terrible.

Itsuki, you speak English very well and are able to get your ideas across very effectively. It is just a matter of "fine tuning" your English language skills now. I enjoyed our session! Thank you!

    Hi, Billy Basically そう and みたい have same meaning, looks like... but they are used differently in our speaking. Easy way to differentiate them is bellow. そう comes after adjectives. example) it looks hot. あつい+そう=あつそう (you need to delete いto sound naturally) みたい comes after nouns. example) looks like a dog. イヌみたい There are some irregular choice of these words, though. I am sorry I didn't understand what you wanted to mean with "How do you know i'm not saying "i want to see Canada"?"

    Bounenkai - a year end party in Japan Bounenkai is a party held, where colleagues of work or friends are gathered and drink some alcohol with full-filling food around the end of year. The purpose of this party, especially with colleagues, is to have fun with your workmates or bosses very frankly and forget about bad things happened in the year. So that, people could get more motivated for the new year and be ready to start a new year with a refreshed minds and hopefully that would give positive impact on their work like more productivity, more efficiency, and so on. Today, I hosted a bounenkai at my home with my employees. Me and my business partner run a small vet clinic in Osaka, and employ five vet technicians. In Japan, the allowance on blood alcohol concentration level is set extremely low, therefore it means do NOT drive when you have any kind of alcohol. My house is located on top of a small mountain where it is hard to come without driving a car, so our party today was alcohol free party. Even though, we spent a good time cooking/eating/chatting together. Our vet clinic operates 365 days, so we still got more than a week to work this year, but it was still a good head up for 2013!

    一番こわいこと

    私はが一番こわいことがはたつまきだと思ういますです。アメリカにたつまきはたくさんあります。それから春も夏もちょっとこわいです。日本にもたつまきあるけどあんまりじんじょうじゃないと思ういます(do you want to say, the tornade in Japan is not very strong??)。私はいつもしんぱいします。健康に悪いだけど、しんぱいしないことはむりです。来月日本へ行きます。日本にじしんたくさんあります。どうしますか?ちょっと危ないだと思うけど日本に仕事があります。ぼうけんしたいです。しんぱいしたくないです。

    Hi, there

    Your Japanese writing is almost correct except one little mistake.
    Here is the mistake...
    日本語の話す練習はあまりできない

    日本語を話す練習はあまりできない

     

    We actually don't care these little mistakes in conversations, especially when it is spoken by non-native japanese speaker. Don't try to be too careful when you speak Japanese!

    About myself Here, I write down about myself... I am a veterinarian working in a small animal practice in Japan. I wanted to become a vet since I am a little child, but during my time in the vet school, I was fascinated by molecular biology and started to think about the possibility to be a molecular biology researcher. So after my vet school, I went on to a PhD degree course at my vet university, which I spent full four years to study on a protein called Eph ( you don't need to know what exactly does this protein, unless you are a geek :-) ) ! I did a part-time job as a vet in a small animal practice to support my life and tuition, which actually not only gave me some income but some relief from the very stressful environment at the university. So once the thesis I wrote was accepted to a journal and my PhD was confirmed, I had two choices to become a small animal vet or a researcher. Eventually I chose to become a vet, and soon later I set my next goal to get a veterinarian certificate to be able to work as a vet in a lot of different countries. A north american veterinarian certificate is well recognized in numbers of countries to give the eligibility to work as a vet, but not the Japanese vet license I hold. So that is why I am on italki and try to learn English. I will write some more about me, when I have time!!
