こんにちは。フィーリックスともうします。ぼくはがくせいです。にほんごがうまくなりたいです。ぼくはイギリスじんです。よろしくおねがいします。 I am a biology PhD student living in New Zealand. I would like to learn Japanese so that I can work there in the future. I am also fascinated with Japanese history (particularly the Sengoku period and the Meiji Restoration). I have only just started learning Japanese so I need help from people who are willing to be patient with a beginner. (^_^;) I am a native speaker of English from the UK (southern England). I am happy to help people with their English. (^_^) I have previously tutored UK GCSE level English Language and English Literature.

    It's hard to understand the sentence without further context, but yes - you can apologise or communicate to someone "through a letter" or "through someone else." The sentence in your question would make sense if one character is apologising to another through a messenger. Hope that helps. :)

    Hello! I suggest these changes, but overall it was very good! Well done. :) ### The “Kyodai (Kyoto University)” handkerchiefs have recently been put on sale! Cute figures associated with Kyodai are embroidered on them, such as the symbolic clock tower, a unique student, etc. This would be a good souvenir for a student's family or the students studying to enter Kyoto University.* The selections are: The clock tower / the camphor tree** A gorilla (The incumbent president of Kyoto University is the leading researcher on gorillas) / Mt. Daimonji Ika-kyo (a “typical” kyodai student look) / the Fibonacci sequence (The clock tower and the camphor tree in front of the main gate are the symbol of my university.) ### *There's nothing wrong with this sentence, especially in conversation. However, in writing it can bit a bit confusing to read 'students' and 'study' repeated so many times within a sentence. You could refer to the second group of students as 'high school students' or change the second 'studying' to 'practicing for exams to enter Kyoto University.' **Does the / mean that there is a different design on each side of a hankerchief? It sounds very pretty. :)

    Cover album by unknown J-Pop artist Hello! I know this is a long-shot, but I was wondering if anyone could help me identify an artist behind a Japanese cover album that I have fallen in love with. I found the music on a car jukebox, but the album and artist are unnamed. I'd really like to know the identify of the singer and album so that I can listen to it in the future (the car is being sold). I know that the first song is a cover of: やさしいキスをして - DREAMS COME TRUE There are two other songs that I don't know the identify of as well. One has the lyrics "Let go, let go" repeated in English with the sound of a raindrop falling in the beginning. I am not yet good enough at Japanese to list any lyrics of these songs though. I've uploaded recordings of the songs here, if it helps: https://soundcloud.com/user-500594729/sets/unknown-j-pop-cover-album-found-on-car-jukebox (Sorry for poor quality!) Thanks, Felix

    'Difference' is where two or more things are not similar (they are dissimilar). A 'discrepancy' is where two or more things are different, but specifically when they are supposed to be similar or equal. A discrepancy is not expected, and therefore it is considered to be suprising or illogical. For example, when a suspect in a criminal investigation tells a story that disagrees with previous evidence it is a discrepancy. A 'shortfall' is where there is a deficit (or debt) in something. For example, if you need to pay $10 but you only have $5, you have a shortfall of $5. Shortfalls are also usually unexpected, like a 'discrepancy.' Hope this helps. :)

    Observation summary

    Identifying possible topics based upon observations, multiple topics/predictions may be identified.
    Based upon 20 minutes, I would say the possible topics are hunting games, a baby, a bed time, seasonal songs.

    I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to say here, sorry. Do you mean something like this?

    Multiple topics can be identified from observations. Based on 20 minutes of observation, I would say that the possible topics to observe are playing games [I'm not sure what you mean by hunting.], [what do you mean by 'a baby'?], bedtime, and singing seasonal songs.


    Number of children involved
    There were three children involved with the girl who I was tracking at the observation.
    There were three children involved with the girl that I was observing.


    Conversations amongst the children
    Through the conversations between the girl B and her friend, who was working on making Christmas cards, she showed her sympathy.

    It would be more natural to say though:
    Girl B demonstrated sympathy in her conversation with her friend as they made Christmas cards.


    She said to the friend about the child who was absent due to sickness, so therefore she made one for her.
    She spoke to her friend about another child who was absent due to sickness and then decided to make a card for her.

    How teachers were supporting the play
    The teachers set the environment up before the children came to the center.


    How the environment facilitated the play
    There were Christmas theme or winter theme activities on the tables such as shiny blue snow dough, shaving cream and baking powder sensory table, and making a Christmas cards table.

    There was a Christmas or winter theme for activites on the tables. Sensory activities used shiny blue snow dough, shaving cream, and baking powder. There was also a table for making Christmas cards.

     

    The children naturally would learn about Christmas and winter.


    Well done! :)
    This seems like a challenging thing to write about. Are you studying psychology or sociology?

    I've reformatted your post as it was hard to read. Normally we use bullet points (•) for separate sentences in a list, and not for titles. If you underline titles or make them bold it makes it easier to identify the structure of your writing as well.

    I hope that I've not been too critical. I was uncertain how to correct your first paragraph, but I think this is due to the difficulty of translating scientific or childcare terms.

    Your spelling is perfect. :)

    Making guitar amplifier no2

    New years holiday started from 26th December. I can have free time to make the guitar amplifier. I finished making a lot of holes to install the electric parts.

    Unfortunately Two blade of drill was broken to make the holes because the blade is slender.
    Unfortunately when making the holes, I broke my two blade drill as it slender.

    I solder between wire and resistor, capacitor, tube, trans to make power supply.
    I soldered together with wire the resistor, capacitor, tube and transistor to make a power supply.

    I have to take care when wiring the resistor and magnetic field because the guitar amplifier has a high voltage and high current.

    I'm looking forward that the amp sounds. I expect the sounds is warmly and clearly sounds.

    I'm looking forward to hearing how the amp sounds. I expect the sound to be warm and clear.


    Very good! This is a complicated thing to write about and you aced it. :)
    All of my changes are only small changes in grammar.

    People often shorten 'a guitar amplifier' to 'a guitar amp', as you have done in your last sentence.

    Hi, I think they are referring to activities that occur when an individual is not participating with their family. Time spend independent of their family. Normally when a person is separated from their parents, for instance when they become a teenager or live away from home for university, it is considered to be liberating. The person has a chance to discover who they are as an individual, independent of their parents. The author is saying that these three films present time spent away from family to be chaotic and unfulfilling.
