I am Tasha and I'm studying Japanese! My boyfriend is Japanese so I would love to be able to speak with my in-laws, and I want my daughter Mika to grow up bilingual! We are planning on moving to Japan in the near future so I have realized I really need to step up my studying!!
I like art, music and video games. My favourite musician is SEAMO and my favourite song is "My Answer" by SEAMO.
My daughter is almost 3 and she was born exactly 7 years after I went to Japan the first time, on the same day.
はい!! 以前と同じように 楽しく話せて良かったねえ(*^^)v ミカちゃんも元気そうでよかった!! (^O^)/ I'm also glad to talk with you as before. Mika also looks fine ( maybe very fine ^^) ,so that's very nice !
I also feel happy to help you with your Japanese paractice before you come to Japan ! (^-^) I'm sure you 'll be able to speak Japanese more with your co-worker or another Japanese people in Japana ! Good luck ! (*^^)v
The five green bars show you are a native in that language, and that you are fluent. You can make the red bars show up by hovering over your picture in the top right corner, clicking "Edit Profile" then scrolling down to your languages. There is a little 'pencil' like icon at the bottom of the languages box, and if you click on that it should bring you to a new page where you can either add more languages or change the levels of the languages you are learning =)

Difference between 優しい and 親切
Seeing one of the other questions on here made me wonder what the difference between these two words are... Some examples would be really useful I think!

人沢山いるね。
人が多いね。
Those are the two examples that my boyfriend gave me when I asked for clarification from him XD It probably doesn't help all that much but I can say that you can say "多すぎ” but you can't say "沢山すぎ” not that people wouldn't understand but he said it just wouldn't quite sound natural.

The multiple readings for Kanji are basically the 'Chinese' based reading and the 'Japanese' based reading. And to simplify this, one is used when the kanji is read on its own and the other is used when in combination with other kanji.
If you are looking in to learning kanji I've actually found wanikani to be quite helpful in an interesting way! It might be worth checking out~ http://www.wanikani.com/

After talking with my boyfriend I've come to the basic understanding that it's mostly just a difference in formality. そうですね is more polite, but he said they can usually be used interchangeably. He's not the best at translating explanaitions into English so I can't guarantee the accuracy but I hope it helps a little bit?

It depends on what you mean. If he physically walked in to the university then very close ("He entered the univiserity of his own free will"), if you mean he went to school there it would be something more like "He attended university of his own free will"
