My first italki
Hi, mates. Im Moto from Japan and I live in Australia.
I just started using this web site to improve my English skill. I have a native friend who gives me a hand to do it, but I think I need more practice so he introduced me to this web site. I would like to meet people who can brush up skills off each other :)
I can teach you Japanese grammar, vocabulary, idioms etc. because it is my major at university.
I appreciate it if you are interested in me. Thank you.'web site' or 'website' there is not much difference that I know of.
Nice job :]
You are very good at English.
Corrections (In order):1 - 'and' joins 2 sentences together so it is good to state who you are talking about again.
2 - 'web site' could be talking about any website, this states it is the current one you are on or contextually speaking about.
3 - 'so' joins 2 sentences. I did this as the second sentence continued the main point of the previous sentence.
4 - You were introduced to the website as websites cannot be introduced to people.
5 - Spelling mistake (everyone makes them)
6 - 'etc.' is short for 'etcetera' so the period shows it is shortened.
Hopefully my corrections are not confusing and that I was able to help.
がんばって!0 votedDecember 26, 20131- Merry Christmas みなさん! Merry Christmas everyone! こんにちは! きょは すいようび にじゅうごにち、きのだった かようび にじゅうしにち と あした もくようび にじゅうろくにち。 ありがと のために ほんやく。 かわいそうで のために わたしの わるい ノート entry.

- How can I talk about music and instruments? I want to learn some names of objects and maybe some verbs to do with musical instruments. I play guitar so things related to that are greatly appreciated. I can currently read hiragana and katakana and translate it into the romaji. Thanks ^_^December 23, 201361
Hi. Well done on the entry, it works very well. I made 2 versions, you can take your pick which one is better.
Word changes:
Currently, job hunting in Japan has started. This is strange that I have to find a job even though I still have 2 years until I graduate. The Government says that this system helps to decrease the unemployment rate for young people. However, if I couldn't find the job until I graduate, it would be very tough to find the job later. Since this reason, young people concentrate on job hunting rather than their university work. How do you feel about this fact ?
Word and grammatical changes:
Currently, I have started job hunting in Japan. It is strange that I have to find a job even though I still have 2 years until graduation. The Government says that this system is to help decrease the unemployment rate for young people. However, if I couldn't find a job before graduation, it would be very tough to find a job later. Because of this reason, young people concentrate on job hunting rather than their university work. What do you think about this fact ?
Changes in order:
1 - Currently was spelt wrong.2 - I believe that you are talking about your job hunting so it is important to state that.
3 - Japan is a noun and should have a capital letter
4 - Grammatical change
5 - 'the job' talks about a single job possibility, 'a job' refers to many job possibilities
6 - The word 'till' is acceptable in speech but is not good for text. The original word for 'till' is 'until'.
7 - 'graduation' is the name of the event. 'graduate' is the verb.
8 - Use 'The Government' as there is only one government you are referring to.
9 - 'says' or 'said' us the past tense of 'say'. The Government made the comment in the past, so use past tense.
10 - Grammatical change
11 - Read 5
12 - 'before' is a better term to use as you will be able to use the noun graduation making the text more fluent.
13 - Read 7
14 - Read 5
15 - The fact in this sentence[S] is dependent on the reason of the previous sentence[1]. 'this reason' refers to the fact[1], 'because of' says the following fact[3] is due to fact[1]
[1]Fact sentence[1]. [S]Because of this reason, [3]young people concentrate on job hunting rather than their university work[3][S].
16 - 'their' is a term used to show ownership. 'That is their hat.'
17 - 'What' is a better term to use for this question as it works with the verb 'think'.
I would say that 7/10 times, 'what' can be used with questions meaning it can be a useful default if you are unsure but sometimes it is good to try new question openings [How, Where, Why, Who,].
Sorry if some of this explanation is confusing. Feel free to message me if you want further explanation on any information.
