I am on italki to look for people who can help me with learning Japanese. Whether from a teacher or partner, any help is appreciated. I am learning Japanese on my own right now, with online resources and books, so my verbal skills are underdeveloped. My name is Anthony. I reside in the United States of North America. I am fluent in English. I have pre-intermediate Spanish skills and am passable in Vietnamese. I generally excel at English grammar.

    I started running towards my goal from nNew yYear's dDay.
    月間目標に向けて一月一日からランニングを開始。

    It was cold, but it's was nice weather for running because there was of no wind. Nevertheless, I stumbled over something.
    寒かったけど、風も無く走りやすい天気だったのに、まさかの転倒。

    My face was smashed on the road … What a disaster ...
    顔面を強打しました。あぁぁ最悪だ。

    Although I'm gonna work from tomorrow, my face is not fully_healed.
    明日から仕事なのに、顔の傷は完治してないし。

    Besides, I have to go to the headquarters on Tuesday.
    しかも火曜日には本社に行かないといけない。

    A Stupid Behavior

    The 6th day of 2013.

    How stupid I am! I criedy for that man again! The more you love someone, the more peainful you will be without him.

    I hope things can will be better. I cherish (Do you mean "hope" or "wish"? I am not sure "cherish" is the word you want here.) that time will heal my wounds. Things seemed to go well this morning. I got up early and spent one hour on a VOA report. My goodness! So many new words in this report! A little upset, I thought about my poor English.

    Anyway, I spared no effort on English. I felt better and washed my hair, dried the hair it, and went to work. When I walked on along that street, I tried to do something to distract me from missing that guy. I listened to the music and followed it. Still, he came into my mind.

    Making phone calls was my task. It really worked in the morning, one boss (Do you mean "client" or "customer"?) had the intention to of working with our company. I was excited and then had lunch. But in the afternoon, when I called a company, the man on the other side of the phone said: “Fuck!” I was totally shocked and talked with some workmates, but nobody paid attention to me.

    I was really sad, and to make it worse, I missed that man again. I needed his encouragement! When I finished work, after getting out of the Metro station, I cried.

    I haven’t criedy for years. I always tell myself that there’s nothing that deserves your tears. It’s funny, the third time, for the one (What is the "one"? I'm a bit confused.) hurt me so deeply.

    How stupid I am! I’m so weak now! However, Iif you want to cry, just cry. After the tears dry, be stronger. You should know that no one will show mercy to you!!

     

     

    I am very sorry for you. I hope you feel better soon!

    An experience to buy the train ticket

    The winter holiday is coming. I have to buy my train ticket in advance so that I can return home on time. 
    So this afternoon,_I did it. It`s was (remember your tenses!) so cold today due to the recent snow._I took a bus to the train ticket office. When I got off the bus, I was astonished that there were so many people waiting in the line. I thought I would not get my ticket until it was dark. Anyway,_I did not give it up. I slid to the end of the line. Soon my I loste the control of my feet, and my hands are were freezing cold. What made me pleased was that there was no wind today. 

    It was lucky that I saw the ticket window after more than 2 hours. When I was about to get my ticket, I saw two foreigners had coame to buy the tickets, but they had went to the wrong window. The ticket seller could not speak English, while the two foreigners could speak only a little bit of Chinese. The seller told them her window sold only bus tickets_(she said it in Chinese), but the two said they wanted to go to sShanghai and that they could not understand what the seller was telling saying (you could also write "the seller was telling them"). Finally, they left pitifully. Later I got my ticket and raun to catch them. Fortunately I overtook them. I explained to them that why they could not buy the ticket. And I also advised them to come again tomorrow morning to get the tickets tomorrow morning because it was too late today and that there were still too many people waiting for the tickets. 
    It`s my first time to help foreigners, and I feel so happy today! Their smile made me forget the coldness I suffered today.

     

    Great read and cute picture. You're a very nice person, Keith. I wish you all the best.

    And so on._We can't stop!

    There are several types of relationships in the lives of human beings._Be they good or bad, there is no way to escape of them (you could remove "them" and it would still make sense)._It depends on how we manage (you might consider putting "our" here, but it is not necessary) emotions, ideas, attitudes and feelings._With them come the experiences that lead us to an unknown path, ready to frame and add unique characteristics and non-transferable._No matter when it happens or with whom it happens, it's always good to be prepared and forewarned by anything._And let us don't (you could replace "don't" with "not" for better flow) forget that repeating the same mistakes is part of the ignorance of never havinge thought before.

     

    Very interesting view. Good use of English.

    dDifficult aAge

    aAmong peoples, I am mostly known as a person of strangeness and incomprehensibilityle to most ._But of theirs innermost I understand fine (I did not understand what exactly you meant, so I guessed)._This is very funny.) 
    wWhile the other children spent their holidays in the camps, I whiled the time away in a convent. I always had an interest in spirituality. At 18, I finished teaching (do you mean "learning"?), and Tthen went to work._It was difficult and frightfully._I do not understand who I am and why I live._I passed the exams in a Christian school., but Sstill, I don't understand the value of life._I began studying Buddhism...

     

     

    Good entry. I've never been to a convent before. Keep up the good work; you have an interesting way of writing.

    Carnaval (if translated it would be "Carnival")

    Carnaval arrived on in Brazil in during the 17th century, and it’s is influenced of the by European Pparties. In Ccountries like Italy and France, the carnaval happened by way of an urban parade, where the carnavalescos used masks and costumes.
    OIn Brazil, at the end in the 19th century, the first “blocos carnavalescos,”, “cordões,” and “corsos” appeared. This last became more popular in the 20th century. The people dressed up, decorated their cars, and paraded in cities' streets (you could also say "in city streets").
    In the 20th century, the carnaval was growing and became a popular party. This growth happened thanks to “marchinha de carnival”.

     

     

    Very interesting topic! Carnival sounds like a lot of fun.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I am learning eEnglish because I want to study abroad, make many friends around the whole world, and work at a good company. I have been studying this language for over 5 five years, and I practice it every_day. I also like rRussian, gGerman, and aArabic.

    My native language is sSpanish since I grew up in Costa Rica, a country where sSpanish is the official language.

    I enjoy hanging out with my friends, watching scary movies, reading science fiction books, and of course, practicing eEnglish with my best friend. I like to help people learn sSpanish.

     

    Very good! Just remember to write numbers one through nine out as words and to capitalize proper nouns like the names of languages. Other than that, your English is great. Welcome to italki!
