    Giving unique directions in Japanese. Hello everyone, I'm trying to refine my ability to give directions in Japanese and came to a roadblock when trying to express unique directions other than the normal ones given in the textbook. I tried to say, "Keep going straight for about three minutes." and came up with 約３分間にまっすぐ行き続けてください。 I'm not sure if this is grammatically correct or if it is understandable to a native-Japanese sense. I also tried to express, "Keep going straight until you see the library." "図書館を見るまで、まっすぐ行き続けてください。" Again, not sure if this is correct or not. Any help would be appreciated! :D Thank you, Kai

    私の町 皆さんこんにちは！最近私の日本語のレベルをついて考える。もう勉強するが必要だ。そしてエントリーをもう書かなければいけないよ！それでわ。。。今日私の町を紹介しよう。お名前はJenisonだ。アメリカのミシガン州にある。小さくて静かな町だ。町の中に私の両親の店がある。タイ国のレストランと薬屋の間だ。道の向かいに家がある。家から２つ目の道にガソリンスタンドがある。の近くに台湾のレストランがある。よくここ に家族と食べている。レストランの右にスターバックスがある。毎朝ここに来ている！彼らのコーヒーが大好きだ！。の西にJenisonの高校がある。去年この高校の学生だった。時々私の旧師を来遊している。高校の学生が音楽を引くのが上手だ。体育じゃない。 Hello everyone! Recently, I've been thinking about my level in the Japanese language. I need to study more! I must also write more entries! Well, today, let me introduce you to my town. The town is named Jenison. It is in the state of Michigan. It's a pretty small and quiet town. At the center of the town is my parent's shop. I lies between a Thai restaurant and a pharmacy. Across the street is my house. Two streets from my house is a gas station. There is a Taiwanese restaurant near it. I often go there with my family to eat. To the right of the restaurant is a Starbucks. I go there about every morning; I really love their coffee! To the west is Jenison High school. I was a student here last year. Sometimes I come visit my old teachers. The students here are good at playing music. Physical education...not so much. :D

    Today, I had to go to the hospital because of my first medication. I didn't understand well what I had to do there, as it was my first experience with Italian hospitals. (It was my first experience about hospital in Italy). I arrived at the hospital with a huge gauze on my butt, and there were so many people that are in line for doctor's their appointments. I was so depressed to see this many people in front of me, wondering about the time that I'll being kept waiting. Luckily,for today after two minutes of delay waiting, from my appointment(because in Italy it's normal waiting one hour in hospital.) I was called in. 
    ''How are you? the Doctor question. "Don't you have any problems?''

    '' Nope, except going to toilet." I explained. "I don't have the bravery to shit." (Because my injury is too close to my anus)
    ''You should!" he exclaimed. "If you don't do it, you'll feel worse!''
    ''OK...'' I said.
    They laid me down on the bed and started to draw away the gauze. But this operation was quite painful! hurt me badly. After removing the cyst, they didn't stitch the injury and filled up the gauze.
    ''Argh!" I screamed. "Shit,It's so painfull!''
    ''Sei bravo, Sei bravo eh?" he said. (I don't know how do to say this in English. It was a kind of complient. But his way of saying was meant for a dog or child)''
    After all this tragedy, I went to the counter to pay. But wating my order. As I was waiting to pay, I felt disgusted and was losing my view sight. Then, I coudn't stay standing on and I dropped down on all fours. I dimly remember the help of many people at moment. (Thank you for all!)
    After few a minutes, I found myself in a room with nurses. I was ashamed of the fact that I have never fained in my entire life. 
    But all stuff But the entire staff of the hospital were so kind and willing. I hardly changed just little my image about Italian hospital. (Because I heard　ugly rumor about it)
    Finally, I arrived at the counter to pay for my medication.
    ''Fifty six euros for everything'' the clerk said.
    ''Oh, Shit!'' I said.
    It was a one of my the worst days of my entire life...

    私の日本語は良いと思うんです。 Hello everyone! I'm going to ask a Japanese friend if my Japanese is good, but I plan on being fancy and say it in Japanese! >:D I came up with the following sentence, 私の日本語は良いと思うんです。Can someone help me verify if the grammar is correct? Now, at first, I considered using 自分の日本語。 Would this be grammatically correct? Also, is んですか used correctly here? In my textbook, んですか。 is used for demanding an explanation. You could say I'm asking him to explain to me if my Japanese is good or not, right? Thank you, Kai

    majiru or majiwaru? 交じるか交わる Hello everyone! どうも皆さんこんにちは！ I have ran into a little conundrum! I'm trying to write down in my journal, "Yesterday, I associated with my new friends." So, I wrote down 昨日私は新しい友達と交わりました。 However, I discovered that 交わる I can also mean intercourse, yikes! >.< I've noticed that 交じる, can be used for "associated" or "mingle" 昨日私は新しい友達と交じりました。 Can anyone help me figure out which is the correct verb for associate? Is it majiru, majiwaru, or some other word? Thank you, Kai
