Hi, My name is Liz! And I'm a student of Japanese Language. :) I've been studying Japanese for 11 years, and I started when I was in high school. I have been on several short term study abroad trips to Osaka. I am a Supplemental Instructor at my university for Japanese 1010, and 1020. :D I also tutor at my university for 1020-3050. I would like to work on particles because they are really hard for me. I mess them up all the time. I work frequently on my speaking, but my opportunities are pretty limited because I'm in a land locked state. I have a lot of auditory input from movies and dramas. So please don't hesitate to contact me. I have skype and Line. :D

    Why peel apples? (2)

    Why peel apples? (1) http://www.italki.com/entry/324354

    then why I still need a knife to eat an apple although I don’t peel it.

     

    **Why do I still need a knife to eat an apple, even though I didn't peel it.


    first of all, I cannot finish the whole at one time, I get tired of the taste halfway.

     

    **First of all, I can not finish the whole apple. I get tired of the taste halfway through.


    and I don’t want to leave it bitten off, I cut a third or fourth out of it with a knife before I eat it.

     

    **I don't want to leave it with a bite taken out. So I cut it into thirds or fourths with a knife before I eat it.


    also I don’t eat it from outside to the core part which doesn’t taste as good to me.

     

    **Also, I don't eat it from the outside to the core. The core doesn't taste good to me.


    I want to finish at the tasty part, so I get rid of the core beforehand.

     

    **I get rid of the core before I finish the apple so I only eat the tasty part.

     

    私は赤いりんごが好きじゃないですけど、緑りんごが好き。アメリカではアップルパイの作るのは緑りんごを使います。それでは、緑りんごはとてもおいしいと思う。私もりんごを切ったなければ食べられない。私の歯医者は私のため歯を作ったからりんごを齧られない。切るだけ。

    I made friends with a girl on lang-8. She asked me to correct her college thesis (20+ page thesis), and to help her make her English sound more natural. (She is from Japan.) We are on eachothers facebooks, twitter, and this past summer we got to meet while I was in Tokyo! So I do have at least one friend that I met over the net who is a long time friend! I've got lots of people who I met in person, and have since returned from their study abroad who I keep in touch with over the net! I think with modern technology it is super easy to stay in contact. Especially with smart phones and apps like Line and Kakao!

     

    We don't talk everyday, but I do read her posts daily! :D

    歌が好き

    綿入は歌が大好きだ．いつもひとりでこそこそと歌っている．なぜなら、人前に恥ずかしくて緊張しているから．それに歌が下手だ。

     

    May I ask why you have both of these? Wouldn't one be better than both?

     

    練習をするね！上手になりますよ！頑張れ！！！

My name is Liz. It is nice to meet you! I have been studying Japanese for about 11 years. Now, I am studying to become a English teacher. When I was in High school, I studied Japanese. I've been to Japan 3 times. Last summer, I lived in Nishinomiya for 1 month. I went to Kobe Girl (Womens) College. I think that particles and kanji are hard. But, Kanji is very pretty and useful! It was fun. My job is a Supplemental Instructor for the basic Japanese classes. Every Friday, I teach difficult topics from the basic Japanese classes. It is fun! If you have questions, please contact me!

    Hi Shawny,

     

    I am using Rosettastone to learn Korean, and it is great for verbal speaking. However it is not a stand alone program. If you are going to learn a new alphabet, as you will be with Russian, you will need to purchase some written language books. However, from my experience with Rosettastone, it will take you roughly to college level 2. (At least the Japanese version does. I have studied Japanese for 11 years and was hoping that Rosettastone would offer me something new, but it did not. LOL such is life sometimes. However the Korean has been quite good.) My only gripe with Rosettastone is that it doesn't explain the grammar points to you. I understand the idea is total immersion, however I'm a visual learner, and when I can see the grammar written out I understand it a lot better. This is not to say that I did not pick up the grammar, it was just much harder in comparison to my college Japanese classes. (I'm in college level 3/4) It has it's merit, however it is very expensive. 

     

    I would suggest, since I too am studying languages with alphabets that are competely different from English that you start with learning how to write. I learned vocabulary, and how to write in Japanese before I learned any grammar. And it helped me immensely! I would also point you to anki. Just google it, you will find it easily. It is a flashcard program. Add in whatever you are studying, and as you study it, you rank if you think you are good, bad, whatever and after a while it will test you on the stuff that is hard, and the stuff that is easy will get saved for later. It's fantastic! I don't know what I would do without it for my Japanese exams! It saves my life!

     

    Good luck!

    Liz
