I have studied various languages. Japanese is the next most fluent language I can communicate in, however I have also studied Spanish and Serbo-Croatian as well. I am not as proficient in these languages, but I do have a basic grasp. I enjoy listening to music from all over the world, and I love food from all over the globe even more! :) I really enjoy soccer and it's not uncommon to find me in the park on a sunny day either throwing a frisbee around or just running in general. I also enjoy playing music (guitar/drums/keyboard/piano), but I am always improving on that as well.

    Using interrogatives in titles I have to write an essay in German, and I would like to know how to use interrogatives in a title. Such as "Why I want to travel to Germany" "What I want to do in Germany". Would it be acceptable to say "Warum ich nach Deutschland gehen will.", or "Was ich in Deutschland machen will.", as a title? Or is there a certain way I can say this? In other words, I would like to know how to use interrogatives in a statement sentence. I hope this is clear enough. Thanks in advance!

    How do you say "had begun to do something" in German? Such as, "At the age of 10, I had already begun practicing guitar." Or "After hearing his opinion, I had begun to think the same way." I hope my question is clear since English grammar can be tricky sometimes. Thank you!

    Clauses with separable prefix verbs Can you please help me structure these two clauses correctly? Which is correct? Thomas geht nicht zu Fuß, weil seine Freundin ihn zur Uni mitnimmt. Or... Thomas geht nicht zu Fuß, weil seine Freundin nimmt ihn zur Uni mit. I want to say the second is correct because I know that separable prefixes go at the end of independent clauses. But does this change when combining two independent clauses into a single unified sentence? If you can give me a few examples of some similar sentences using this structure, I would be very grateful! Thank you!

    How would you say "to memorize" in German? As in, "I'm memorizing this list of words." I've seen it as "speichern" on Leo when i search for "to memorize", but I've also read "sich einprägen", "sich merken" as well as several others. Can someone please clarify the different uses of these words?

    Good job

    I had to look up more information on how to use quotations in this manner myself. When you are using quotation marks in a list, punctuation can be tricky. I think it would be best for you to focus on sentence composition rather than punctuation for now. Keep that in mind, but be sure that you use proper tenses when writing sentences. If you are writing about the past, make sure the verbs in rest of the sentence are written in the past tense. Same thing for future and present tenses as well. Good luck!

    Healthy lifestyle

    Hey guys!
    What do you think about a healthy lifestyle?
    I heard some time ago that our body is our mind and I agree cause everything that we fill our body in with affects our mind. I'm talking especially about junky food, alcohol and cigarettes/drugs.
    So the major thing that we have to do to have an energy to keep going with our exercises is eliminating junk food. The problem is that a lot of people believe that you if you jog in the morning that then you can eat some a cheeseburger in the evening. In my opinion, you have to listen to your body. and If you feel that it does harm to you, just don't do it. Cut it off out.
    The second thing is alcohol. I have been working out for a long time. Jumping, playing football, etc. But on every weekend, we had to drink have a few beers and I couldn't can't loose lose these kilograms that I wanted to. So i decided to cut it off out and that was the best idea that I have made at this point in time.
    Cheers

     

    Very good!

    Take care when using colloqiual expressions such as "cut it out".

    Also, watch the tenses of your verbs and make sure they match your sentences. If speaking about the past, all verbs about that sentence should be in past tense. The same applies to present and future tenses as well.

    Overall, great work.

    It depends. If you are saying "no problem" in response to someone saying "thank you" then you would say「どういたしまして」。 If you are saying "no problem" in response to someone asking you if there's a problem you could say 「問題(もんだい)ない」。Lit. "There is no problem."

    An essay : please let me know what my mistakes are. thank you so much

    The subject: "A lot of people believe that the amount of violence shown on TV and in the cinema affects the actions of our young people and therefore increases the amount of violence in our society today. Do you agree or disagree with this sentence? What can be done to reduce violence in our society today?"

    There has been considerable debate among people over whether TV programs {having<--(consider replacing with portraying, displaying etc.)} violentce actions could have effects on young individuals?. All societies and governments are searching to find some measure to reduce the amount of violence in society.
    It is generally acknowledged that TV programs influence children and young people. Although TV and cinema have many advantages, there are some programs which encourage violence and send a message in favour of being a villain. For example, a program showing a murderer killing people {regarding to help poor people<--(misplaced sentence fragment?)} can set a bad example for young people. AnOther good examples are some programs in which a villain will be a rich person at the end. Young individuals may think to follow the person.
    To avoid violence in society, or at least to reduce it, both governments and families are responsible. One measure by governments is to control the media, like cinema and TV programs, to and ban them if the programs incite violence. Another measure is to {put <-- consider replacing with adopt, instill, etc.} some laws for guilt. There has to be some charge if one bothers another one with violent action or behavior so children could be aware of the result of their bad actions. Families, on the other hand, are responsible to help children to distinguish wrong and right. It is necessary for parents to avoid allowing children to watch every kind of TV programs.
    To conclude, It is accepted that TV programs which have high amounts of violence influence young people so that children could be encouraged to harm others people. To keep society safe, this is a burden for families and governments to guide young individual towards being a pacifistic person.

     

    Great work!

    Consider using alternative words. Also, be careful to pluralize words where they are needed and be wary of repeating words too frequently.

    Today

    Today is sunny. I changed my phone number and put my new phone number online. and Later, a friend I haven't been in contact with for a long time called me and we talked for a long time. I miss him so much. We grew up together, but seldom contacted with each other all these years. I felt happy that he doesn't didn't forget me and missed me too. Then, two of my friends called me out, because they saw my message online then suddenly remembered me. Then they called me. I know them better.

     

    *Your grammar is good but be careful with the tenses. If you are talking about a past experience, be sure to write in the past tense. Same with the present and future tenses. Good job!
