こんにちは！アマンダです。ニューヨーク出身です。I'm an artist and miniaturist. In college I minored in Japanese language but I haven't practiced in quite a while. I'd like to get back into it and become fluent. I travelled to Japan in 2016 and loved it. I would love to travel there again one day :)

Congratulations on finishing the slide, アマンダさん! おめでとうございます！🥳🎉 ハロウィンのコスチュームもおもしろかったです😂 The main focus of this slide was the て-form, and you've made so much progress! You can now conjugate verbs into the て-form smoothly and confidently👏🏻 Today, we read dialogues and practiced ordering food and drinks at a café. You've learned so many useful expressions throughout this slide! You can now invite someone to do something together and order food and drinks in Japanese. These are great skills to have for traveling in Japan! 😊

レッスンお疲れ様でした！ Today, we first reviewed 「～たい」 by making your own sentences. 「～たい」 is very useful in conversation, so keep trying to use it when you talk about things you want to do, eat, see, or try! Then, we learned 「～から」 and practiced giving reasons. Now you can connect your ideas and make longer sentences by explaining why you think or do something. 😊 Remember that the basic order is Reason → Result. We also talked about the counter 「～まい」, which is used for counting thin, flat objects such as paper, tickets, and shirts.

展示会(てんじかい/exhibition)の写真を見せてくれてありがとうございます！とてもすごいです！私も見たいです 😀 Today, we practiced the past-tense forms of 「～たい」. Some of these conjugations can get pretty long and be a little difficult to say smoothly, but you did a great job practicing them! 👏🏻 「～たい」 is very useful in everyday conversation, so try using it as much as you can during our conversation practice, including the past tense.😊

てんじ(exhibition)おつかれさまでした！I’m glad to hear that it went well!🥳 Today, we finished practicing 「～てもいいですか」 and started a new grammar point, 「～たい」. We practiced the present-tense conjugations and did a few exercises. 「～たい」 is a very useful expression because it allows you to talk about what you want to do, such as places you want to go, things you want to try, or food you want to eat. It’s also very easy to use in everyday conversation, so let’s start using it when we talk about your plans and interests! 😊

    Watch movies without subtitles

    Yesterday Last night I watched a movie in English with subtitles and understood everything. Afterwards, I tried to watch another movie in English too but without subtitles and but I didn't understand nothing anything. I felt like I was listening to a language completely unknown.

    I ask to myself wonder if I will be able to communicate in the United States with my level of English. It seems too hard.

     

    Good effort! With more practice you'll definitely be able to communicate in the Unite States. :)

    How it is to go for a walk in New York in the first days of February ?

    This is an English logbook, as well as a question for New Yorkers:
    I was wondering how it is to go for a walk in New York (e.g., walk by Manhattan's tourist attractions) in the first days of February? It is totally crazy to go for a walk on these period during this time of the year ? Or if you Are you well sheltered? then you Can you walk from one spot to another without a problem? 
    How many degrees (fahrenheit) it is the average temperature there?
    Are the people that you meet on the streets are friendly (e.g., to ask how to reach some when you ask for an address)?
    Thanks!

     

    Just some minor corrections. Your writing is pretty good! I'm from New York so I can answer these questions for you! 

    Going for a walk in New York is very nice at times. Everywhere and everything is either in walking distance or just a subway ride away. It's definitely not crazy to go on a walk during February, it can be quite pleasant as long as you wear winter clothes. The temperature at the moment is 37 degrees fahrenheit but it can get as cold as 20 degrees sometimes! There have also been days where it's been almost 50 degrees, so it depends. As for the people you meet on the street, most people are usually nice enough to give you directions. Some people might be rude but that's only if they're in a rush. I hope this helps!
