Katrina es una estudiante de idiomas genial. Trabajar con ella es súper cool porque además de la buena energía y la gran sonrisa, ella se compromete con el idioma. Cada vez percibo una mayor seguridad y fluidez al momento de expresarse en español. Muchas gracias Katrina :)

    I read a book on memory.

    I read a book on memory because I wanted useful information to enhance English my memory of the English language.

    I usually think about what I want to learn books before I start to read a book.
    At this time, I knew the objective: to enhance English  my memory. [or: "to enhance my memory so that I can improve my English."]
    I searched for that topic from the in a book.

    And then,I found a book about the topic about of mind-maps.
    I heard about mind-maps before, but I haven't used it them and I don't know how to use it them.
    I think it is useful for me to remember collocations.
    Because it is difficult for me to remember collocations.

    I will try to use a mind-map.

    Resume

    It's too hard to make a resume in English.
    Recently, I'm trying to do it ["Recently, I have been trying to do it" もっと自然な英語に聞こえます], but it's not easy..and what's more, if I have a job interview on skype,
    I would not be able to explain about myself in a positive way.

    It's sooooo hard!
    So, now I'm listening to radio news in English to get used to it. ["So, now I'm listening to the news on the radio in English to get used to it" もっと自然な英語に聞こえます]


    頑張れー!:)

    2 Important Things to Study Languages

    Having learnt a lot of things through my experience of studying the English language, today, I'm briefly going to talk about it. I've been learning English by myself for over two years.
    Previously In the past, I gave it up again and again. But, now I've been continuing with my studies without giving it up since I realised that the some important things to study it.

    ["since I realised some important points to keep in mind while studying a foreign language" sounds more natural.]

    I hope these will also be helpful for you. Firstly, you shouldn't easily ask for the result of the study. Many of language learners often tend to ask for that. But, alas, it's wrong because studying another language can be easily influenced by your mother language, and it's needed to be patience to do is needed. Secondly, you need to study it everyday even if you haven't got much time to do. I know it's hard to do a language study eveyday, but however you learn, you would easily forget it.

    ["I know it's hard to study a foreign language everyday, but however you learn, you will easily forget it if you do not do so." sounds more natural]

    For example, if you don't drive a car at all, you would be worse, wouldn't you?

    ["...you would get out of practice" or "...you would not improve" sounds more natural.]

    It's the same the thing with that learning a language. But, alas, although I've talked to you about it, I can't properly carry it out...

    ["I can't properly express my thoughts" or "I can't properly explain" sounds more natural]


    外語を習うのは大変ですね。頑張れー!:)

    Mom's Salt

    One summer day in the kitchen, my mother was replacing a bag of salt into a salt pot. Mistakenly she poured all of them the salt into a water-filled container. Much of salt dissolved into the water and spoiled. [I think you may need to add an object here. E.g. "and spoiled it"] Then she said to me, "Couldn't you find some way to recover it?"


      It was a muggy and hot day, and I didn't want to stand in front of stove. However, I decided to bring them to a simmer, in order to evaporate the water. [I'm not sure what "them" is referring to. Replace "them" with the item? E.g. "I decided to bring the water-filled container to a simmer..."]


      For about one hour, I kept having to bring the spoiled water to a low boil. In the end, I made salt again. Since I stood in front of the stove for a while, I had a sweat a lot. Though I lost my in the body  was exhausted, I felt happy to recover the salt successfully.

     

    I had no idea you could recover salt that way! すごい!

    ロッククライミングする!O(≧▽≦)O 私は日本語でロッククライミングの仕方の初歩を教えてみる。ロッククライミングすることは様々な種類があるので、私は一般的な情報を伝える。基本的に、ロッククライミングを始める前に、相手とロープを見つける必要がある。それから、あなたが特別な方向でハーネスに結んで、落とせば、ロープを使うビレーの人があなたを早く捕まえてくれる。終わってから、同じビレーの人があなたを無事に取り下ろしてくれる。だから、ロープはルートの上にずっと付いている。それは「リードクライミング」というのロッククライミングと違うである。リードクライミングする時、あなたはあなたとロープを持ってくるので、クライミングしながら、自分を掛けなくてはならないのである。そのため、力を失うと、あなたが遠い落とすことが出来る。しかし、気をつければ、危なくないよ!私はロッククライミングするのはとても楽しいと思う。

    Traditional Japanese Sweets

    Traditional Japanese sweets,"Wagashi", have lots of different types.
    Above all, "Namagashi"(fresh Japanese sweets) are handmade and they are so beautiful and delicate as if they were art work.  [I believe you are looking for the phrase "a work of art". Therefore => "as if there were a work of art" sounds very natural!] 
    These sweets have a strong connection with Japan's four seasons. ["a strong connection with the four seasons in Japan" sounds more natural] 
    In spring, you can see the sweets suggestive of cherry blossoms.
    In summer, there are some sweets suggestive of water or goldfish.

    [The two sentences above are not incorrect, but you can make them more natural sounding by changing the word "suggestive". For example: "In summer, there are some sweets shaped like water or goldfish". "Suggestive" implies they remind you of something; it's more abstract or related to a concept. "Reminiscent of" can work here if you'd like to keep that train of thought. ]
    There is more to Wagashi than meets the eye. [I changed "it" to "Wagashi" because it is unclear here what "it" refers to. If you mean the different sweets individually, then "them" is good. ^_^]


    Very interesting article! I googled the sweets. They are beautiful! Your article is also well written. Most of what I wrote above are suggestions to make your English sound more natural, but there are hardly any clear grammatical mistakes. Keep up the good work \(^o^)/!

    Portuguese class

    I attend a portuguese class which is held in a cafe every Monday night.
    We usually practice reading, grammar, and a bit of conversation.
    Basically there is a native Brazilian teacher, but the Brazilian teacher is not always the same person.

    [This sentence is ok, but it will sound more natural is split it into two sentences. For example: We are taught by a native Brazilian teacher. However, we do not have the same (Brazilian) teacher every week.]
    One of the teachers allows us to speak in Japanese, but the other always tells us not to speak in Japanese. [This sentence will sound more natural if you use less word repetition. For example: Some of our teachers allow us to speak in Japanese, others do not.]
    I know it's better to have strict teacher for me to learn, but I am always relieved when the teacher is not strict one.

     

    Your English is very good! Keep up the good work. ^_^

    「日本町」(^▽^)/ 両親に会うために、今テキサスにいるけど、二週間前にサンフランシスコにいた。サンフ ンシスコにいた日の1つの間に、姉や一緒に一日中「日本町」で過ごした。私はサンフランシスコに行くと、そこに行くようにしている。イングランドで得ることが出来ない物はたくさんあるのだ。それは多くの様々な餅があるのだし、おいしい日本食を簡単に見つけるのだし、大きい本屋があるのだし、かわいい縫い包みを買えるのだ。それに「ピカピカ」というプリクラがあって、とっても楽しかった!しかし、イングランドからアメリカまで旅行が高いので、私はいつ次に行けるか分からない。でも、来年の日本旅行の計画を立てることをまだ楽しみにしている。
