My adventure

Next February, I will go to Japan with my classmate for 2 weeks. Our school asked us to report on goods that are exported to Japan from Taiwan. I am so excited, I can't wait any longer. I visited Japan once with a tour group; it was wonderful. I like going on adventures. I'll be traveling just with my friend. I can't speak Japanese very well, therefore I practice Japanese very hard everyday. It's my first time booking an airplane ticket, the hotel, and planning the schedule.

No matter how difficult it may be, I must perservere!

Good luck studying English and Japanese! 私も日本語を勉強します！がんばってください！

I'm looking forward to reading more of your notebook entries. :)

Trying to be more active here

It seems that there are only a few people who are active here in Italki. 
There are too many registered users, but only a few of them are online.
and I doubt that those who are online are interested to learn my language.

Oh, how I wish I knew another in-demand language, but I will not lose hope with this site yet.

(To native English speakers: Feel free to correct my entry )

thanks. . ^_^

Great job on your English, Marie! I want to speak Tagalog better, so lets be Italki friends and talk with each other here!

Practicing with e-mails

Hi Sarah,

How are you? I hope that everything is OK; it has been a long time since I have heard any news from you!
As you know, Christmas is around the corner, and this year I’m going to spend it with my uncles in New York. Everyone says that NY is a magical city where you can have an unforgettable Christmas. I know that you’re going to study for your exams during Christmas but I was wondering if you could take a break for a couple of days so you could come with me to New York! I’ll have to talk with my uncles but I’m sure that they won’t have any problems about it!
I hope you'll visit me one day and we’ll talk more about this.
Best wishes,

Very nice e-mail Patry! :) Keep up the good work!!

I wish you all will make an effort to find the truth about Fukushima (1/2)

I just watched the YouTube video called “Abita”—an award-winning animation that created a huge sensation over the world. It was directed by a Japanese college student girl who is pursuing her studies in Germany. This short animation depicts the aftermath of the remaining tragedy in Fukushima that was exposed to nuclear pollution since 2011. In a dramatic fashion, the animation convinced us that the area turned into a place where children have no freedom to play. Her genuine talent really enabled us to express the calamity, inciting viewers to become sympathetic towards Fukushima. Overall, the footage was beautiful and uniquely artistic as well. Regardless of my review of her great work, I want to give a heads-up to everyone: DO NOT take it as seriously as the way it’s shown.

すみません。しょさんの　ふたつパラグラフが　わかりません。

I'm sorry, Sho san, I don't easily understand your second paragraph.

Some advice I can give you with your blog entry is to write a little more simply. The longer the sentence is, the less impactful your thought is. For instance, connecting lots of thoughts together in one sentence may be better as two sentences. I understood your first paragraph, but in a lot of your sentences, I tried to shorten them and use more simple terms.
