Hi there. I am from Japan and living in Tokyo. I studied in the UK for two years; one year in London and one in Brighton. But now I have very limited chances to talk in English and I do not want my English get rusty. That is why I am here, looking forward to talking with new people in English!

It doesn´t matter at all that you were slightly late.It was something completely out of your hands although I must say that it was so out of the blue for you as your puctuality and reliability record is impeccable.

It was lovely talking to you again.You explained some of the news headlines about various events in Japan and then we went on to talk about whether we´d like to travel forwards in time and see what the near or more distant future would be like.We also talked about jobs that needed doing which was a little more tricky for you then I had imagined (the floor needs hoovering etc)

Sorry about the initial interrupciones with our connection. A computer technician is actually going to ring me on Monday to arrange a date to check everything. Unfortunately reliability isn't one of the strongest traits of some of the workers here like electricians, plumbers etc. but that's maybe because they're generally friends of ours. The dogs were pleased to go out mid morning and stayed out by themselves for more than an hour. At least it saved me from taking them out again after lunch.

Maybe we never truly grow up, ha ha! Thanks! I'm up to 1,500 words now :) Almost halfway there!

    Split the bill I was talking about social changes between our parents' and our own generations with my tutor via italki today, and somehow we came to the topic of splitting the bill between a boy and a girl. It might depend on culture, but in my country some girls think it is normal that men buy them dinner, whereas other girls feel awkward about it or even offended. Me? Perhaps I want to pay for my own share, but to be honest I don't want to pay more than boys... I am an egalitarian but it seems I must acknowledge myself selfish!

    I think "観ました" imply that you watched something in detail and/or with taking time. Eg. watching TV programmes, football games, paintings at museums, etc. (Perhaps not necessarily for enjoyable stuff - because we have a word 観察 for observation.) "見ました" could be used in a more general manner: Eg. I saw her walking with him yesterday. / I saw him standing in front of the station.

    Learning languages and sports I often feel that learning languages has something in common with learning new sports. Of course there are some people who are good or bad at taking up new languages and/or sports, but everybody can improve their capabilities by practicing. Without practice, nobody can be an expert. In addition, we will have good days and bad days in the process of progress. Our efforts do not guarantee constant improvement. Sometimes we have a frustrating time due to our poor performance after we started to feel confident through signs of progress. I'm afraid that there is no goal in learning languages just like in practicing sport. It seems to be necessary to enjoy the process itself to walk a winding road of learning.
