Hi, my name is Lee Benfield. I worked as a certified ESL teacher overseas in Asia for about 4 years but moved back to the US around 7 years ago. I went into sales then entered management here. I miss teaching English though, so this helps scratch that itch. I like to travel abroad, watch movies, and learn new things… stay curious is my mantra. I can help with general conversation, business English, cultural differences, and more. Let’s chat!

We practised past tense and past continuous tense in this lesson. Tenses can be confusing because sometimes the concept of them are different from English one.

We practised more complicated sentence structures. Lee san can create longer sentences with describing words now. His pronunciation has improved significantly, too!!

We looked at basic Japanese structures and particles. Lee-san seems already known many things, so let's polish them up from now!

    Hi, can you add some context? When would someone say this? For example, after a break up or to warn someone? It is not clear without any context.

    You should write "best-selling book." :-)

     

    Also, my favorite writer is Jon Ronson.

    There are many rules for silent letters, although some may seem arbitrary and illogical. In my opinion, it would seem that you must learn from experience with most silent letter words (ie. make a mistake and be corrected or simply study pronunciation with a native speaker.) Here is a link to the wikipedia page with plenty of information:

    Both are incorrect. Try this instead... "If you have any suggestions, I would like to hear them."

    Gotcha is like saying "got it." This confirms understanding. Example: Tim: " Please bring me a diet Pepsi." Jake: "Got it, one diet Pepsi." Getcha is really only used when playing with children, and it means "gets you." This means I will grab you or catch you. Example: "Daddy will getcha!"

    My study of Soviet history)))

    The defeat of the Russian empire and the revolutions of 1917 were accompanied by the growth of self-consciousness among the national minorities. In these circumstances, hard-line policy could condemn Bolsheviks to political nullity. These circumstances exerted a fundamental influence on the further development of policy on national minorities. This proposal describes a study that will examine the Soviet nationality policy and its impact on interethnic relations in the USSR. The idea proposed in this paper will explore a collection of interviews with displaced persons who had left the USSR during or after World War II. There has been significant discussion of the mechanisms and methods of the Soviet nationality policy in Ukraine but there is a lacuna even in Ukrainian historiography on public perception of this policy. It will be suggested here (It would sound better to write: "This writer suggests") that Soviet policy towards the Ukraine was not something exceptional, it was a special case of the history of Stalinism. This paper concludes that nationality by (in contrast?) comparison with the belonging to the socio-economic class is an not active factor of the Soviet social structure. ThatThis is why the economic aspect of Ssoviet policy is more often criticized by respondents.

     

    Pretty good, but study when to use articles. It would greatly benefit your writing skill. - Donald
