Besides being a colleague, Kristian is a brilliant person who has been able to achieve an advanced level of the language on his own. I'm absolutely happy and honored to be working with him.

    Hmmm, I would say that the most commonly used would be "Don't judge a book by its cover" when something or someone turns out to be different than you first thought and "speak of the devil" when you're talking about someone and they show up. "My bad" is a little older and is still used a lot, but its starting too sound funnier because it was more popular in the 90s.

    Viviendo En México Quería tomar un momento para compartir mi experiencia reciente de vivir en México. Primero, la razón que me mudé a México fue que ya no podía soportar Estados Undidos más. Todo es muy caro y la mayoría de gente trabaja tanto que olviden de vivir la vida, yo era una de aquellas personas. Mi esposa y yo teníamos que trabajar demasiado y apenas teníamos tiempo para pasar juntos. Así que decedimos que mudarnos a México nos daría más tiempo para las cosas más importantes, tiempo con la familia, tiempo para hacer nuestas aficiones, y la experiencia de una cultura nueva. Puedo decir que se hacen las cosas diferentemente aquí. Por ejemplo, en México, hay que usar un tanque de gas en la casa, no es como Estados Unidos donde se recibe gas de una compañia por las pipas. Cuando ya no quede gas en el tanque, hay que esperar una camioneta traer un nuevo a la casa. Afortunadamente, parecen manejar por mi barrio todos los dias, así que no estaríamos sin gas mucho tiempo en caso de que ya no quede más. Otra cosa que es muy genial es que se pueden pagar la luz, el agua, y celular en una tienda se llama Oxxo, y quedan en todas las partes de la ciudad. Esto es muy conveniente y practical aunque muchos servicios no se pueden pagar en internet, por lo menos tenemos esta opción. Pues, hay muchas cosas sobre que podría hablar, pero ya no tengo más tiempo. ¡Gracias por su tiempo y ayuda!

    The worst situation

    I work in a clothing manufacturing company as a temp to perm employee, I work in an accounting.
    This The company's name is Abahouse International and the Employment agency's name is Adecco.
    I was supposed to be a permanent employee after 6 months but this contract was broken off today.
    I'll be fired on this at the end of May. According to Abahouse's opinion, I can work well and I don't miss a lot ,but my personality isn't suitable for corporate culture but I cannot accept thier opinion that. I think the true real reason is that I have a mother who has a handicap. After I told the accounting director this fact, she might have thought I cannot work well for family reasons. Actually I have a had the experience to of being rejected by another company for family reasons before. Is it that right ? Why can be accepted such a reason is this behavior acceptable in Japan ? Adecco isn't also working either, they do as they're told by other companies. What do I have to do to resolve this situation ? I want to punch and kick an the accounting director, she must be die. If you have any good ideas, please tell me.

    Great article, I particularly like the way you phrased, "Can you please repeat that? I didn't catch the last part." Like you said, it is worded in way that doesn't make you appear linguistically weak. Thanks for the article.

    I disagree Elina, you can learn them, it might take time but it can be done. Keep studying, keep practicing, and you will succeed! :)

    I'm sorry you lost interest Caroline, it was my first article :( I actually thought that I did use caps for all the words, but maybe I didn't. I submitted it months ago. Thanks Peachy for the compliment and tip for the other readers.
