I'm looking for talkative people, especially who can correct my pronunciation, on italki. If u r looking for someone who can help u to learn Japanese, that's my pleasure to help u:) Most of my English problem is pronunciation, especially, "R","L", and "Th" sounds which is the most common pronunciation problem for Japanese...:( I'm learning in the U.S to study Zoology. As my goal, I would love to work at the Zoo to improve animals' exhibit and their welfare as much comfortable as they can feel. Furthermore, it is the best solution if I can make it more educational and interesting for people who r even not interested in animals in common life.

    One of People Whom I Respect I was shocked by Cory Monteith's death. Glee was a one of TV shows which I was affected to get an interest in English. Cory was a one of original casts of it. I hadn't been watching all of seasons of Glee, but I accidentally had a chance to know Cory's personal background and activities recently on a TV program. Since then, I really like and respect him as a person. I wanted to be as much a faithful and honorable guy as Cory was. Typically, I was surprised that he decided to enter a rehabilitation facility even though he had possibility to lose his fame and respect if he publicized he had had difficulty with drugs. Still nobody knows a cause of his death. It might be a one of possibilities that he died because of drugs. Whatever it was, it is very sad that we lost one of talented young people on 13th July, 2013. I really appreciate for that his career gives me an opportunity to look at new world such as English and international world, and I personally want to make an effort to be a faithful and honorable person who always can be honest even if it affects me in bad ways like Cory publicized his difficulty with drugs. Rest in Peace, Cory Monteith

    It's time to take a trip!!! I'll leave the United States to Japan in five days. Apparently, it sounds I go back to Japan unless I'm an American. However, it feels I take a trip to Japan for me. Honestly, I'm really glad that I feel in this way because I'm getting used to live in the United States. Even though I'm a Japanese, my general life is here in the United States. That's awesome change!!! Sometimes, it is very depressing for me to go back to Japan because Japanese society has strong social pressure. Most Japanese usually are employed at 21 or 22 years old as soon as they graduate Universities; so, it apparently looks loser if you are over 21 or 22, and don't work as an officially employed worker. I've been studying in the United States to complete my dream; but, it is not business for Japanese society. I obviously have to face to strong stereotype at the same time I go to Japan. I know this is what I chose; however, it is very strong and tough even if you had had determination to face to this situation. Hope Summer will be gone as soon as possible, and I can immediately come back to the United States!!

    Confidence It was kinda nice day for me, today. When I went to the hardware store, I talked with a cashier about weather in WA because it was not only sunny, but also windy and cold here. Then, our topic was changed to the weather in my country, which is Japan. Suddenly, he asked me how long I've been living in the U.S. He said, "Your English is excellent!!" when I answered him, "I've been here for one and half years." I couldn't have said anything because I'd never been said such the words from anybody in public. On a way home, I felt something joy and confidence a little bit; furthermore, I thought it would be funner if I improved my English skill more. For him, it might be just few words, but it affect my motivation for learning and improving English. I hope all of people who try to learn something new have a lot of tiny moment, get something like confidence, joy, happiness, or whatever from these; and get more motivation for learning something new.

    "～かもしれない？” already includes an expression of question when u put a question mark on the end of sentence. So, u can use it by putting regular sentences in front of "～かもしれない？” For example, if u wanna ask someone whether or not she/he will be late on time, the sentence which means "being late on time" is "時間に遅れる”, so u put it in front of "～かもしれない？”. Then, ”時間に遅れるかもしれない？” As u see, I think it mostly works if u put the sentence which is concluded as present or past tense in front of "~かもしれない？" I'm not sure whether or not I could explain enough to ur question--; But I might be able to answer to ur question. (質問にこたえることができた-かもしれない-）:)w Good luck with learning!!

    In my opinion, it sounds better to say, "俺たちは稜線を歩いていた。”　It sounds more familiar for me than these two choices, but it is better, "俺たちは稜線で歩いていた。” if u want to pick up one from these:)

    昼寝 is consciously taking a nap during day time during short time; on the contrary, うたた寝 is unconsciously falling asleep. For example of 昼寝, u try to sleep during day time when u don't have anything to do, consciously; and for うたた寝, if u take a bus, and ur destination is not so far away, u might try not to sleep; but, u already pass the destination when u realize next moment cuz u fall asleep, unconsciously. I hope these examples work for u to understand the difference:) Good luck with ur studying:)
