It was a great lesson! Joshua-san prepared well. We did verb te-form, ta-form and some particles.

I am glad that Joshua left a good comment on my first lesson. I didn't notice that he had problem on hearing sounds at that lesson. I hope we will be able to have the next session with no problems.

It was a very good lesson. Joshua-san took note about new words and grammar. Haragana, katakana, and some kanji were perfect!

    Today is Coming of Age Day!

    Coming of Age Day is a Japanese holiday to congratulate people who became 20 years old.
    20 years old is the age of an adult in Japan.
    The Coming of Age Ceremony generally is held in a persons home town, so It's been a long time for the people who go out into the other areas to work or to study since they meet old friends.
    Many women will wear a Kinomo and style their hair.
    Many friends put pictures in a on Instgram.
    I, on the other hand, I will spend the day today in writing reports for an assignment which is assignment because the ceremony is held in summer in my home town.

    Mostly you had some small grammar errors. I struck out unnecessary words and wrote in replacements to make your sentences more natural. Your structure was very easy to understand and I was very glad to learn more about Coming of Age, I had no idea towns would hold celebrations! Do they hold a celebration and everyone who turned 20 in the last year is honoured, or how does that work exactly? I would like to learn more about the Coming of Age Ceremony.

    "I stick to my plan" sounds like a statement. Sounds like the hero wants the listener to know that the plan is a commitment.

    : Is it on sale? This sentence is fine. :Do you guys have soy milk? Yes, we do. This is also fine, very natural. :I usually start working at(from?) 3:00pm. "I usually start work at 3pm" or "I usually work from 3pm until 10pm." Only use "from" if you will say when the end will be. :Can I switch rice to noodle? (When we order food at a restaurant) This would be fine to say but it would be better to say "Could I have noodles instead of rice?" :Who inspired you to study Japanese? This sentence is fine. ^_^

    They mean the same thing but are used differently. In both cases you will be seeking to get information.

    My English level

    Hello! こんばんわ。Thank you for reading. I am writing this sentences without a dictionary, so I will make some mistakes. Sorry.
    I had have studied English from junior high school to college. It was about 10 years. That Those classes was were required, but I can't speak English now. I know some easy grammars and words, but I can't construct sentences correctly and quickly.
    I am practising to construct it by using easy words. I wish I can want to speak easy sentences quickly without a dictionary soon.

    I'll give you an example of the way I think you're teacher is using this, then I will write a couple responses that will sound natural. Teacher: "English speakers will say 'Okay' for many different reasons, such as to explain their status or inquire to others. Okay?" You: "Got it." "Yep" (This is equivalent to "yes" but is more slang and natural) Really any affirmative response (or negative if you don't understand and it's not "okay") will get the point across.

    Changed my thought Mind

    Recently I changed my thought mind that I to stop being afraid of misunderstanding others in My English.
    I will try to increase the opportunities that I talk with them on communication tools, this including italki, skype and so on.
    But I'll tell you in advance, my English is still not good well, especially listening and speaking. If I write something sentences with English, I can have some thinking time for making to make sentences while writing.
    So, to say Speaking about writing skills, maybe I can make and write not-so-bad-sentences.( Really? Mmm...)
    On the other hand, it is not I don't have enough time for me to making make sentences for while talking with someone. If I did, it might be happened a little unfortunate, a slow conversation, for example, a pause between words, etc. Well, I know that I have to overcome it. I think that It is good to enjoy it, including something my speaking go wrong while I do it. even when I don't speak well.
    It's Those are  my thoughts now.
