Profile
I am Chinese-Japanese, and speak Mandarin Chinese (Beijing accent), Japanese (Tokyo accent), and English (English accent) fluently. I write fiction and have been published in English and Japanese. I teach English in Tokyo, but am living in the UK at the moment. I have become very interested in Tibetan culture and listen to Tibetan songs regularly. I have learnt some Tibetan words. I would like to find a Lhasa-dialect speaker to teach me spoken Tibetan, but I would also like to learn the Tibetan script and learn about Amdo and Kham cultures, as well as the cultures of foreign-born Tibetans, so it doesn't matter where you are from. I can help you with your Chinese, Japanese, or English. Ideally, I would like to talk on Skype rather than chat online, as I have to type all day long for my work. I would also like to find a UK-English speaker who is attuned to literary language to help me with the fine-tuning of my writing and with British colloquialisms. I can help you with your Chinese or Japanese.

    I agree that you have to say 'ones'. I think it should be either 1) These are the ones that I was supposed to receive yesterday? or 2) These are the ones that I am supposed to have received yesterday?

    I don't know if everyone would agree, but I feel that 不在乎 is used more in the context of 'I don't care if...' rather than 'I don't care that...'. So for me the following sentences would sound more natural: 我不在乎你喜不喜欢我。 他得不得感冒，我才不在乎呢。 OR 他得不得感冒，关我什么事？

    It means: 'It was not a customary event. However...'

    As Tangoya-san pointed out, the first sentence doesn't sound natural. You could say instead: Jitensha to iu no wa do- iu imi desu ka? OR Jitensha tte do- iu imi desu ka?

    I don't think 食べであろうと makes sense. Can you double-check the phrase, please? であろうと can mean one of the following: 彼が王子であろうと思った。 I thought he was probably a prince. 王子であろうと、乞食であろうと、私にとって同じだ。 Whether he's a prince or a pauper, it's all the same to me. 彼は王子であろうとした。 He tried to be [behave like] a prince.

    日本語をたくさん聴くことをおすすめします。Youtubeで日本語の番組を観たり、オンラインで日本語の放送を聴いたりするのはいかがでしょう。

    It depends on your taste, but as Bruce has given you the names of some classical poets (Coleridge, though, is oh-so-British. :-) ), I will suggest a few more recent poets. You might like Mary Oliver. Her 'Wild Geese' is one of my favourites. And Maya Angelou. They are two of the greatest contemporary poets. Going back a little in time, you could try searching for Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath, (and no, I haven't forgotten the men--) William Carlos Williams, and Langston Hughes, and see how you like them. Happy reading! :-)

    Chinese Translation of a Kunga song: 'Khyampo'i Lu' Translated from the English translation of the original lyrics. 歌词译自英文，请懂藏语的朋友指正。:-) 《游子吟》 词曲：民间 雪山之子 远走他方 忽见碧空飞鹤 忆兄弟于故乡 鹤翼敛 兄弟难相见 我心忧伤 雪山之子 远走他地 忽闻莺啼啁啾 思庭训之真意 啼声歇 谆谆庭训竭 我心悲戚 雪山之子 远走他州 忽窥孔雀舒羽 念邻家女明眸 雀羽闭 似春日落去 我心哀愁

    Chinese Translation of a Ngawang Tenzin song: 'Jancha' Translated from the English translation of the original lyrics. 歌词译自英文，请懂藏语的朋友指正。:-) 雪域三区颂 （改译名） 词：Tenzin Gyatso 曲：民歌 我虽不是拉萨人 我却识得拉萨魂 柔声细语礼节重 圣地仁德万世存 我虽不是安多人 我却识得安多魂 古今智慧聚此地 好比满月升一轮 我虽不是康巴人 我却识得康巴魂 英雄传奇颂千载 忠心傲骨谁不闻 * 对于歌名，我最初的理解是“装饰雪域三区的绚烂文化”，后来又了解到jancha一词有“特色”的意思。 * 关于康巴，应是地区叫“康”，人叫“康巴”。这里的译法是为了韵律节拍，或可以理解为“康人之魂”。

    As Christopher says, when you use 'since when' with the present tense, you are not talking about time. You are unhappy with the other person's behaviour, and you are expressing your disapproval or even accusing the the other person of what he/she has said or done. "Honey,since when is our marriage a problem?!"---Our marriage has never been, and isn't now, a problem. "Since when are you a therapist?"---Don't talk to me like that. You are not a therapist.
