Well the name is David, i am currently unemployed and i guess although i am looking for work, i could be described as a NEET. I come From the UK which is a rather boring place compared to some of the places i would like to travel to if i could afford it. The language i am looking to learn i guess is Japanese, and i do this because i am rather interested in the japanese culture as a whole, but a lot of the information or video's or even programmes that i like to watch are in japanese and sometimes reading subtitles can be a pain. So my main objective is to be able to talk to a native Japanese speaker and be able to watch the shows i want without the needs for subtitles, which could take a while. Anyway as to what i am looking for on here i guess it's someone to talk to in the native language. Preferably female, and no it's not sexist or anything i just believe they have more patience and tend to speak more clearly and slower than male speakers. Anyway that's all i have to say hope you enjoyed the read.

    technically speaking, there is no real difference between the 2 sentences. They both refer to the same thing and both have exactly the same meaning. However the use of the word "have" i guess relates to ownership. for example "i HAVE a pet" or "i HAVE a car". In my understanding i believe the use of "have" in your sentence makes me think of a past action, where as the second sentence makes me think of something you have done quite recently within the last hour or so.

    I think the best answer there would be 3) as that seems the most common phrasing. however 1) would be acceptable in most conversations also.

    The use of negative questions is rare, however the use of them is still applicable today. for instance there's "do you not understand the question?" or as use in a request "can you not use that today". The use of negative's can be used within normal conversation there are no concerns when using that sentence.

    The reference, of "until" in the setence "he was watching tv until his mother came back" literally means. The boy was watching tv, but when his mother returned home/came back, he turned the tv off.

    Let's get this started. Well there is no way in the world i am going to be able to write this first entry in japanese, kanji or otherwise, so i will just simply state this. This is going to be a long journey.
