Hello! I'm Rachel. I live in the U.S. and I'm a student. I'm pretty young and have only been studying Japanese for 2 months, so I don't know many words yet and I make a lot of mistakes. I've always been good at English though, and I'll try to answer any questions you have. Let's be friends! こんにちは！私はレイチェルです。アメリカに住んで、学生です。日本語を２ヶ月間、勉強してきました。だから多量の誤解して、多くの発言分かりません。しかしながら、よいに英語書きましたり話しましたりする。質問答えを試みる。 友達になりましょう！

    There's not much of a difference. The only thing I can think of would be that "woods" sounds less deep, while "forest" seems more extensive, as Ruthi said.

    That's not how life works

    There are many tv programs for learners of foreign languages here in Japan.
    I learned the sentence, that is "That's not how life works".

    I thought I would have no opportunites to use this sentence when I watched the show.

    But this morning the chance came.
    :)

    My daughter said in Japanese, "Mom, there is a piece of papaya in my granola. I said I don't want it!!"

    So I said, "That's not how life works," in English.
    She didn't understand English but knew what I meant.

     

    You add a comma after the last word before a quote if the quote is in another sentence.

     

    When a sentence inside of quotation marks ends with a period, but you still have more to say in the sentence outside of the quotation marks, the period in the quoted sentence changes to a comma. 

     

    Example:

    My friend told me today, "I'm a good cook." while we were walking home.

    My friend told me today, "I'm a good cook," while we were walking home.


    But if the sentence ended after the quote, it would be:


    My friend told me today, "I'm a good cook."


    If the punctuation in a quoted sentence is not a period, then it can be left alone. If a quote ends the sentence, the U.S. way is that the puncuation for the sentence outside of the quote is put inside the quote.


    U.S. way:


    My friend told me today, "I'm a good cook."


    British way:


    My friend told me today, "I'm a good cook".



    Quotes are tricky. Great job!
