The difference between English and Japanese 1

I have an weekly English lesson in my house.
I frequently talk to my teacher about the differences between English and Japanese.
Sometimes we discuss common points as well but it’s more useful for me to recognise different features for learning English.

Today, my teacher highlighteds the a common mistake Japanese people make. does.　(In English we "make" mistakes)
The usage of ‘come’ and ‘go’. Also, the usage of ‘bring’ and ’take’.
Japanese also has interchangeable words for each word.
‘Come' means ‘来る’ and ‘go’ means ‘行く’.
But I recognise English has a strict rule about who says what to whom.

For example, you live in Tokyo and your friend lives in London.
If your friend travels to Tokyo and lets you know this, your friend should say ‘I will come to Japan.’ (I would actually say "I'm coming to Japan" )

But in Japanese your friend can say both「私は日本に行きます(go)」 and 「私は日本に来ます(come)」.
And former one sounds more natural. That’s why I frequently missed and confused these wordings.

It has already been 2 years since I came to London, but there are still many language rules to learn.
Next time, I will write about the difference between British English and American English.
That’s another thing I was completely blind to when I was in Japan.

 Nice job! I have noticed myself that "come" and "go" are almost always used from the speaker's point of view in Japanese, while in English we pay attention to the listener's point of view. So if I'm going to your place, in English I would tell you "I will come." If we are in the same place and I'm telling you about a trip I plan to take, I would tell you, "I will go." 

つまり、私が友達のいる場所へ行くつもりだったら、その友達に「I will come」と英語で言います。

私も友達も同じ場所にいて、私が旅行するつもりだったら、「I will go」と英語で言います。

どっちでも日本語で「行きます」と言うと思います。

(「You」を勝手に「友達」に翻訳してすみませんでした。＾＾；)

You can count a loaf of bread or a slice of bread, but "bread" by itself is not countable. Same with candy, at least in the U.S. -- you can have a piece of candy, or you can just have candy. I think native English speakers in other countries might give you a different answer about candy, though. Now as far as the reason, I am not sure. Leaves are always countable, and so are biscuits. You can use "cake" either way, though. "I'd like a cake" means you want the whole thing, or you can just ask for one or two slices of cake. Or you could just ask for "some cake." For mass nouns, you can count them if you specify the amount, such as "2 gallons of" gasoline, or "a jar of" dirt. That also works for bread. I hope that's a little helpful; I know it's confusing. Good luck with your studies!

You can use "between" for two groups of things, too. Here "cats" is one group and "mice" is another group. If you add another group of things, like "dogs" for instance, then you should use "among." You can also use "among" if you have four cats and you have to choose among them which one you like best. But if you only have two cats, you'd choose between them.
