My name is Gilbert Dale and I'm from Los Angles, California. I'm currently a college student getting my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts. I'm here because I would like to learn Japanese because I would like to expand my understanding of Japanese culture because I feel It is a very beautiful one. I would also hope in the future to work as an artist In Japan for awhile. I'm hoping to meet friends that could inspire and help me with learning Japanese and I could hope to help them with English as well. I look forward to being your friend.

    "Hi! this is Ina/ 

    I had a good weekend.
    I started italki last week,I got many new friends all over the world !
    We have talk on italki,and on Skype.
    And we become close.
    i'm very very fun.and happy!
    I ask they many question.
    For example,"I heard Canadian usually poor maple syrup on pizza, is it true? "
    the question's answer is "NO"
    Actually,I feel A bit of a bummer XD
    But very fun. Everyone are kindness for me."

    Here's how you can correct this:


    Hi, my name is Ina and I had a good weekend. [You can take out the exclimation point (!) to make the sentence smaller you can also but the first two sentences together to make it into one]

    I started iTalki last week and made many new friends from all over the world. [English uses words like "and" "but" "so" "if" "then" to put two or more sentences together]


    We talk on italki and on skype. We became close. 
    I'm very fun and happy. [You only need one "very"]


    I asked them many questions. For example, "I heard Canadians usually pour ["poor" means "the person has very little" like "That person is poor". "pour" means to "put something on" like "That man pours tea in the cup"] maple syrup on pizza, is that true?" ["ask" is present tense meaning "now". "Let me ask him a question". "asked" is past tense meaning "earlier". "I asked if he wanted to go"  and "asking" is future tense meaning "later". "I plan on asking him later.]

    They said "No" [Is smaller and easier to read] and I felt a bit bummed [meaning you talked to them earlier] but it was fun and everyone was kind to me. [when writting a sentence, you want to make sure the whole sentence is in past, present or future tense. Mixing them up confuses the reader]

    I hoped this helped you. If you have any questions please ask.

    Let's be friends Hello, as a native English speaker I hope to meet native Japanese speakers to help in learning Japanese. I also hope to learn about the culture and to teach Japanese people about American culture.
