こんいちはAdamですはじめましてあめりかじん Hi, lets meet on Skype. I am looking for a Japanese speaking language partner who can teach me the basics. I grew up in the United States, I am a native English speaker, and I can help you learn more / refine your English speaking and writing. I am totally new to the Japanese language and have been teaching myself for 1 week. I would like to be able to hold a conversation, watch anime/movies without subtitles, and eventually read a book in Japanese. I'm also interested to learn about Japanese, culture, formality, politeness, etc. I can help you learn anything you want to know about in English.

    This is my last sightseeing trip until I get a new job.

    Although I have just moved from Osaka to Nagoya the day before yesterday, my friend and colleague came with me by his car. It was almost a two hours trip. They haven't been in here Nagoya because here it is called the most famous passing city in Japan. I introduced them the spot of sightseeing brought them to a good sightseeing spot and introduced them to some unique local food. First of all we went to the Japanese castle of Nagoya. This is the one of the big thee three castles in Japan along with Himeji and Kumamoto. The unique point What is unique compared to others is there is a pair of golden killer whale statues on top of the castle. Next we went to Atsuta shrine in order to eat Kishimen noodles there. On the way to there, I bought for them a small onigiri riceball called Tenmusu. There is a flitter shrimp inside a the riceball. Truth be told, at the end of this short trip, we felt something filled up our heart our hearts felt heavy. Now I feel like throwing up, though. Oh well, whatever, I have to apply for a new job(abroad, if possible) and speak English speaking more.

     

    Great writing Yuki!  It sounds like you may not see your friends for a while, but you had a good trip together.

    What does UTC mean and how long will we wait :)?

    As you know, I saw an alert following from italki, "Alert: italki will have a scheduled maintenance period on Saturday, Mar 2 from 3:00 AM UTC."


    After I read it, I was thinking about it. When will start the maintenance start on Japanese time? What is UTC? What does it mean?

    As usual, I checked a dictionary before I asked here as usual :) UTC is universal time coordinated. Afterwards, I have a question more, what time is UTC? How long does it have is the time difference between UTC and Japan time? And   Then, I searched it. Okey, I found(or learned) there is -9 hours.

    From Friday, Mar 1 6:00 PM in Japan?So, now (almost Mar 2 1:00 AM) is the time under maintenace in here? I don't know it. (Unsure what this means.  You are uncertain?)

    I will just try to uplard upload this entry.

     

     

    This is great work.  I understood what you were asking.  I'm not sure either. : )

    My ear ache.

    There is a an idiom in Japanese saying that "みみがいたい", which literally means that "my ears ache".
    You can use it when you are ashamed to hear because someone is saying about your home truth. something someone says that hits close to home. (<- the more natural way to say this)

    According to Kansas University's investigation, the Internet is used in the workplace for other purposes while than working.
    Yes, I'm a bad teacher who enjoys an online net auction while my students are solving questions.
    My ear ached when I read the article.  (My stomach turned when I read this article)

     

    In English "My stomach turned" is close in meaning to "みみがいたい".

    I corrected to help this sound more natural.  Nice work!

    Today's event

    My boss wanted to buy a coffee from a vending machine.
    Then, 8 cans appeared for 100 yen!(List price:100 yen for a can)

    Since I thought “This is my chance!”, I went to buy more coffees from the vending machine immediately.
    I put in the money(100 yen) and excitedely pushed the button with excite!

    ... No coffee appeard, and I did not get my money back . (Cause unknown)
    Thease These events were a miracle, but I don’t need my miracle.

     

     

    This is really good.  I corrected to make it sound more natural. : )

    My call with a Spaniard.

    I called a Spaniard to make my business request.
    Because he can speak English, that is our common language.

    Before I called him, I prepared a greeting, a request list,
    his expected answers (positive or negative), and replies to them.
    I thought I had prepared completely.

    However, my brain went blank when he took my call.
    I could not greet well. I forgot what to say.
    Unable to remain indifferent, he said "I understand your requests.
    Please tell me details by e-mail."
    I said "Thank you. Good bye." and hung up.

    (I was very nervous.) My armpits were sweaty.

     

    Nice work.  Keep it up.
