I work as a programmer for a foreign-owned company. I want to find a friend/partner/teacher/mentor for my English. Although I don't always get in trouble because of my poor English skills, I hope to talk with them in English much more. Obviously, I can help those who want to learn Japanese.

    Which is better, "a" or "the"? In this sentence, I wrote "an Indian chef", but I'm thinking that "the Indian chef" might be better. Could anyone give me a right answer and explain the difference? I ate dinner out at a local Indian restaurant run by an Indian chef and his Japanese wife. Phew, articles are one of the most difficult for me to use properly...

    I like baseball. I'm into baseball. Previously I used to just watch a game on TV, but recently I've joined a local baseball team and enjoy playing it on Sundays. I like not only watching a baseball game but also playing it.

    A friend of mine started his own coffee shop. Today. I went to a coffee shop which a friend of mine just started few weeks ago. He made me a cup of coffee and hotdog and brought me them with unpracticed hands. But both were much more delicious than I expected. He told me that he had been trying to improve the tastes for a long time. Since the shop was just opened, he must have a lot of things to develop. I hope many people go there and feel happy to drink a cup of coffee he makes　in the near future.

    (just two points that Lisa didn't point out)

     

    ジェットプログラムに受けれたら受かり、私は日本語のこと何も知らないままで日本の福井県に行く事になりました。

    - "受けれたら"は、私の推測(speculation)なのですが、"As I passed the Jet Program," に近い意味でしょうか、もしそうなら、「受かり」もしくは「受かったので」が適切(appropriate)だと思います。

     

    また修業が必要ですが今東京に住んでいるので話すと学ぶ話したり学んだりする機会がたくさんあります。

    - 他にも、「話す機会も学ぶ機会も」とも言えますね。英語の gerunds や infinite verbs にあたる動詞の用法を「連体形(rentai-kei)」といいますが、「と」や「や」で続けることはできず、分けて、別々に修飾しなければなりません。他にも「私は日本語を話すことも書くこともできます」などのように使えます。英語では "opportunities of speaking and leaning" のように "and" で続けられるんですが。

    the last rehearsal for the upcoming gig. Our band is going to perform at a music club next Saturday. Since it was our last rehearsal today, we all concentrated on every tune. And we've got confident because we found some points to be improved and played around these part over and over again. After that, we went to a Chinese restaurant where we regularly go when finishing our rehearsals. We ate and drink a lot, and we talked about today's rehearsal. We had a happy talk for a couple of hours. I'm looking forward to the upcoming gig. I can't wait.

    I am trying to put an article into English: part 1 Original Japanese version: http://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/14202 (title) The reason Japanese get along well with Philippine - an Asian country knows the Western feelings (preface) Philippines is one of the most familiar countries in Asia for a long time. Have you ever thought about the reason? Their unique national character of Philippines is the background factor. I heard from Dita Angara Mathay, a councilor of the Department of Commerce and Froilan Emil D. Pamintuan a commercial attache about these Philippine traits unknown well in Japan, English education in fashion, and nannies. (題名) 日本人とフィリピン人の“ウマが合う”理由 アジアにあって、西欧のノリがわかる国？ (序文) 日本人にとってフィリピンは長年、アジアの中でももっとも親しみの持てる国のひとつだ。その理由について、考えてみたことがあるだろうか？ その背景には、フィリピン人ならではのユニークな国民性がある。知られざるその特徴について、また、最近話題の英語教育、ナニーについてまで、フィリピン大使館の商務参事官の ディタ・アンガラ・マサイさんと、商務官のフロライン・エミルD. パミントアンさんに聞いた。

    red - incorrect
    blue - better expression

     

    大学は終わりました、夏休みはが始まります。一年前に日本語を勉強しはじめましたが、僕はまだ日本語をぜんぜん話せません。僕はとても寡黙です。 

    読むことと書くことのほうが。← Do you mean "I am better at reading and writing."?

    でも僕はとてもたくさん習うことができました。

    来年僕は日本に住んでいますむことになっています。僕は日本のどこかに住んでいますいるでしょうが。、まだ知りません分かりません。

     

    These sentences are almost perfect. ほとんど完璧(かんぺき)です。

    Great! すばらしい！

    月をめでる

    先週の土曜日、月はがとても明るくて、きれいでした。ですから、父と月をめでに行きました。
    父は写真を撮ることが上手でした。父は写真を上手に撮りました。
    月の中に、山をちゃんっと見せる写すことができました。 

    空は暗かったけど、星を見せで見られましたよ。そして、風もよくて、楽しい夜をかかりました過ごしました(*)。
    この作品を皆に送ります :)

     

    * -- I didn't quite understand "かかりました" and supposed you meant "過ごしました" (spend).

     

    This is a very beautiful photograph. Thank you for sharing it. I am so impressed. You can write "愛でる" instead of "めでる". "愛" is love.

    ability A colleague said to me that he has low ability for work and does not make much effort. And he also said that he did not know how to enhance his ability and how to get work better. In my view, he is smart enough and is making an effort at work. I have no idea what can make him satisfied, but I am ready to listen to him anytime.

    What is your role in a conversation? Q: What is your role in a conversation? Do you dominate? Do you subordinate? A: I'm better at responding to the others than dominating a conversation. First of all, I like listening to the others talking. Although I've never measured the time how long I spend talking during conversation, I guess it's less than 50%.
