Ushio san is a great learner! I really enjoyed the session with him. His "willing to learn" mind-set definitely made the session a rewarding experience. 潮さんの日本語を学びたいという姿勢が良く伝わってきました。そして少しでもその役に立てたら光栄です!またレッスンでお会いできることを楽しみにしています。どうもありがとう!

    The sentence might sound confusing because the phrase "as near as possible" is split with "to the source". This style of grammar is common while speaking, but, when writing, it's better to arrange the words without splitting the grammar phrases: "Every effort will be made to resolve the issues as near as possible to the source and as quickly as possible."

    • Learn kanji as part of words. — only the really basic kanji (木、月、山、口) are useful by themselves. Other kanji make more sense to learn as part of a compound. • Learning kanji perfectly (read & write) takes a lot of time. — I gave up doing that. I switched to just being able to recognize and read kanji, and my retention went up dramatically. • SRS software helps with memory. — Apps like anki and memrise and iKnow make it easier to keep memorizing vocabulary. I like iKnow because it orders the words by frequency of use, but it’s a pay app (~$80/yr). I spend 5-10 min every day and it’s amazing how the words add up.

    Please correct the following sentences.

    It may be snowy tonight.

    Correct but not common. More common is "It may snow tonight"
    Emily can't be home now.

    This sentence feels incomplete. "Emily can't be home now, because she's stuck in traffic".
    I would often climb a mountain with my father.

    More common is "I used to climb mountains with my father".
    You should give the book to the library. (correct)
    You should bring the library back the book.

    You should bring the book back to the library.

    Typhoon is coming...

    Last week, three typhoons were formed in the Pacific ocean.
    One of them is coming to Japan.
    In Japan, typhoons come several times in every July.

    Every morning I commute to work on foot.
    It takes thirty minutes from my house.
    On the day of the typhoon, the commute becomes very hard work.
    The typhoon has strong winds.
    So I can't put up an umbrella and my shoes and trousers are sopping wet.
    To prevent these problems, I wear mountaineering clothes and shoes.
    Tomorrow maybe I need to wear these.

    Please correct my diary entry ><

    I think today was not a bad day (suggestion: "was a good day") because I could wake up earlier early (suggestion: "was able to wake up early" or simply "woke up early") and mom made a great breakfast, and that does not usually happen. And Also I had 2 other good things in a day happen today. One is I found my earring that I was looking for for a long time (suggestion: this is okay when speaking, but probably better is "that I had lost for a long time" so that there isn't "for for"). I found it when I was cleaning up my room. The earring was a birthday gift from my best friend, so I was glad and jumped up when I found it. The other one is I finally I bought some little cactuses for to decorate the room. I hope tmrw will also be a great day...

    Thank you for checking ^^
