Hey! My name's Drew. I'm a 26 year old guy from Atlanta, Georgia (US), and I'm looking for people to practice my Japanese with. I've been studying for about a year, but I haven't been able to use my Japanese in a long time, so I'm slowly forgetting it all. I'd prefer to talk to people on Skype so I can practice my speaking. Feel free to message me! はじめまして!僕は26歳アメリカ人の男の人、ドリューです。1年間くらい日本語を勉強してるんですが、お久しぶり使いまして、だんだん下手になってしまいました。きっとそろそろ全部忘れてしまいますww。今住んでるの所に日本人はあんまり居ませんから、日本語を練習のために日本人の友達に作りたいです。Skypeで話したいですが、初めにメールで僕と知り合えます! I also am studying French if you would like to do a French-English exchange! J'etudie le français, aussi. Mais, parce que j'ai étudié le français dans lycée, maintenant je ne peux pas parler le français bon.

    ある vs 持っている 時々どちでも使っていいですよね(例えば、「___に関して興味がある」と「___に関して興味を持っている」) その場合は、ニュアンスがありますか?例えば、「持っている」の方がもっと大人っぽいや、「ある」のほうがもっと弱そうって言うニュアンスがありますか?全然間違いますか?

    "to do so" would be called an "infinitive phrase" in English. Infinitive phrases are simply: an infinitive [to + verb] + any modifiers.

    The Summary of ‘China Chic: East Meets West’
    In the article “China Chic: Eat meets West”, the author Steele & Major discuss about the history of foot binding. Steele & Major give many sources of foot binding based on Chinese literature. Based on these literature According to the literature, initially foot binding only appeared at the imperial court. As time passed, foot binding spread of all over the country.
    The author introduced the progress of foot binding. The procedure of foot binding was very painful, and it would breaking the arch of the foot. Although foot binding was extreme painful, some Chinese women supported foot binding, because they thought small feet was a symbolized femenine sexuality as sexually attractive. They thought of it was as a ritual, and it was usually presided over by their mother. In their opinion They thought binding their feet could help them get a rich husband if they did that it tightly and good well enough. Ebrey suggests the reason of why that Chinese women binding bound their feet is was that foot binding can distinguished between Chinese women and from Chinese men, and also it distinguished between Chinese and from non-Chinese. In the Mid-seventeenth century, the Manchus established the Qing dynasty, and they activated enacted an edict to stop foot binding. But in their eyes for Chinese women of that time, binding feet just like was an important symbol of the age, making the edict a fate it is even worse than death for them.
    The sociologist Thorstein Veblen believes foot binding is was a kind sign of a life of leisure, because they it supposedly made it inconvenient to work or walk, but foot binding was did not cause any inconvenient inconvenience. Nowadays, Westerners thought think it was not a good thing to for women. The new generation has also argued that foot binding is a kind of backwards, traditional Chinese culture.

    Can't verify your Spanish translations, but I think "owt" and rawkus are just them being cute with their spellings. "Owt" I assume is actually "out" ("Out you send her after nine o'clock") and "rawkus" is probably ruckus (it means "a commotion"). Generally we use regardless to mean "it doesn't matter what else happens/has happened", and despite means "even though _____ is going to happen/has happened, it doesn't matter". So similar meaning, slightly different usage. Like I can say, "I'm going to see her regardless," and it just means I don't care what happens, I'm still going to see her. But, if I want to use despite I have to explain what I'm ignoring/disregarding. So I would have to say something like "Despite what my parents think I'm going to see her." Hopefully that helps?

    "Thank you very much. It jsut something else man. Like, it is no big story about, you know, we couldn't make it here, so we go to England. And America doesn't like us because, you know, our feets too big, or we got fat mattresses and we wear golden underwear. It ain't no scene like that, brother. You know, it's just, dig man, it's just, layin' around, then went to England to pick up these two cats. And now here we are, man. And it's so, you know, groovy to come back here this way, you know? And really get a chance to really play. You know, I can sit up here all night and say 'Thank you, thank you, thank you," you know, but I just want to, you know, just grab you, man. And just <kissing sounds>. On of them things, man. One of them scenes. But, dig, I just can't do that. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to sacrifice something right here that I really love, okay? <something about Bob Dylan's grandmother>. Anyway, I'm going to sacrifice something I really love, man. This, if, don't think I'm silly doing this, you know, because I'll think I'm losing my mind. That last night in Peru, gah. But, wait, wait, wait a minute, honestly... Anyway...but today I think everything's alright, but I'm not losing my mind. This is for everybody here. This is the only way I can do it, you know. So, we're going to do the English and American combined anthem together. Okay? Don't get mad. Noooo. Don't get mad. I want everybody to join in, too. Alright? Don't get mad, okay? There's nothing I can do more than this. For these, these beautiful people.

    I'm not sure if it does, but I would avoid using romanized study tools. It's a crutch that will hold you back. I highly recommend learning the writing system of any language you're learning before you dive into the grammar (usually studying vocab with the writing helps with learning the alphabets/syllabaries)
