I've been fascinated in Japan since I read some adventure stories by writers in English. I like watching Japanese films, anime series, reading manga. Now that I met a lovely Japanese girl I became motivated to begin learning Japanese.

It was our trial. Jussi-san has clear pronunciation and easy for me to understand his sentences. He knows how to introduce himself in Japanese, and we talked about some daily life topics. He can adapt more vocabularies and phrases through conversation for sure. :) たのしかったです。またお話しましょう！

    Today is Monday!

    This is my diary for today.

    .
    .
    .

    Today is Monday.

    Many office workers are afraid of Monday.

    Because they took a rest on weekend well.

    (Not sure what you mean. Maybe 'Because they rested well on the weekend?')

    I'm afraid of Monday too.

    But i got up at 6 am this morning and then arrived at my company at 7 am.

    After working of (in the) morning, I went to a Starbucks with my junior _____.

    (junior what? junior partner? do you mean with a younger workmate?)

    We drunk (drank) a coffee and had a Panini.

    She talked  (to me) about the other co-worker's attitude to me while eating.

    (since 'talk to me' is an expression, it's better to put it together)


    I thought My junior has some complaints to other coworker.

    I thought my junior had some complaints about the other coworkers. (if they were complaining about only one coworker, then it would be 'had some complaints about another coworker.')

    I couldn't say nothing to her.

    (in spoken language it's ok to use double negative, but in writing try to avoid it, so correct would be: 'could say nothing to her' or 'couldn't say anything to her')


    Because we must save our breath in the company.

    (not sure that's the expression you want. Dictionary definition here: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/save-your-breath)


    After working, I will have dinner for Pasta.

    (pasta for dinner)


    And then, I'm going to work out at 9 pm.


    Your Mondays sound very busy. I'd probably dislike Mondays if I was you too.

    I corrected you in a google docs file since it's easier to insert comments into the text that way: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14rL83VuoeDLQkwUNdioP5MsFp4jdJg-jQtC12cTKL60/edit?usp=sharing

    Totally agree on what you say about reading :)

    (1) Yes, Christian name means first name or the name you get when you're Christened (2) You're correct in my opinion. Especially in Lewis' time referring to students by last name was the norm. The use of Christian names probably tells us the two characters are becoming friends. I've only read one Narnia book so I don't know though ;)

    In what language the job Interview was? The words are correct, but the order is a bit wrong. Here's how I'd say it: "In what language was the job interview?" We got a keen pleasure from our journey. I got pleasure sounds weird to me. Get is usually spoken language, but keen and pleasure together sounds rather bookish. Why not simply "We enjoyed our journey a lot." or "The journey was very pleasant". I don't care whether people like me or hate me. No problem here Who is the President of Argentina? "president", otherwise good.

    Are these sentences OK?

    1 - It's 5 a.m. and Mrs Brown hasn't got up yet
    2- She's wide awake but her husband is still sleeping
    3 - He's in the bathroom; he is no longer in bed
    4- Is she already in the office? No, it's too early.
    5- I'm not ready yet . Wait a minute!
    6- Is she stiil in bed? -Yes, she isn't feeling well
    7- It's nice and warm in here, yet I can't sleep.
    8- Do you still work for Mr Jones? - No, I am not there anymore.


    4. If she works at an office then "at" is the right preposition. If you're talking about an office as a room then in is ok. Examples here: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/9749/at-or-in-the-office

    7. "but" is the word I would use.

    8. just "No, not anymore" or "No, I don't" is better I think. If I was asked that question it would seem weird to start talking about "there" which refers to a place.

    "Willpower" pls correct my super-short essay

     

    "Whatever you are doing that takes effort, be it playing sports, music, or language learning, the hardest thing and the most important thing is to continue - and to continue, you need willpower.

    You can’t complain about the quality of your textbook or your teacher.

    External factors are all secondary. The key is willpower.


    I'd appreciate it if you could correct the above! Thank you!

     

    willpower goes together

    I put the separate sentences together because they work better that way.

    words like willpower, love, hate aren't countable, so no "a" is needed.

    "following" refers to things that come after.

     

    You are absolutely right about what you say. The method isn't as important as the work. But I'll add that if you have a good method you can speed up your learning a lot. The Japanese education system for example provides a bad method for learning English.
