Hi. My name is Erika and I am really excited to help you learn English. I understand how hard it is to learn a language. But I also understand that learning languages helps open up great opportunities to learn from other people and discover more about yourself.I have learned three other languages and each language has taught me something. I hope I can teach you something too.

    Modesty requires some humility. But essentially, modesty is knowing that you have limitations, accepting those limitations, and not trying to exceed them. Humility is knowing that you have status, but lowering yourself and raising other people’s status, even above yours in many cases.

    That is a beautifully written proverb. C does sound beautiful. But just focusing on analyzing this phrase grammatically, because he says “never WAS a cloudy day” he is focusing on the past, at least for this phrase. But Even Allee Willis, a co-writer of this song said the song is open to interpretation. This is a great song to translate.

    I would say B. However, “never was a cloudy day” is part of an English idiom. If you are translating the song into Japanese, the direct translation is not what the feeling is in English. I would say it feels almost like the feeling in Japanese なんとかなるさ but in past tense. A feeling that everything was good and not gloomy-あの時、ぜんぜん憂鬱でわなかったです　or 思ったほど悪くなかったです。I’m sorry for my Japanese. I hope that makes sense. I am still learning.

    If you are talking about English, “long time no see” is a very common phrase used for when we haven’t seen someone we know in a long time. It doesn’t sound weird.

    You’re very close. The direct translation would be, “You’re too kind. Thank you very much and same to you. If I can help you with anything, count on it.” But I think it would sound more natural as a native speaker to say, “You’re very kind. Likewise. Thank you so much. If there’s anything I can help you with, just let me know.”

    Yes. You cannot say, "the restaurant we were in June."

    You can omit "any" in questions and there will be very little difference. "Any" helps to quantify the object in question. Also, depending on your tone, I feel it can make the sentence sound "softer."

    Sorry. I didn't mean to put the answer on the comments section. I'm still getting used to the new italki.
