Profile
Hi, everyone! My name is Charlie. I'm a writer and English teacher from the U.S. currently living in Sabae, just outside of Fukui city, Japan. I want to study Japanese so that I can improve my quality of life here. I want to make friends, and I want to be able to understand the world around me.

Hey Tom! How are you? How long has it been since we've seen each other? I think it's been three months since I've seen you, when you came to Brazil to learn our language. I hope that your Portuguese is better. Your Brazilian friends they miss you.
If you see me play the guitar now, you will be amazed/blown away/impressed!!! I am much better now. I can play anything. And you? Have you gotten better? I remember that you practiced every day when you were here because you believed that Brazilian girls would fall in love with you if you could play romantic music. Too bad you failed. But life goes on, right?
My life is mostly the same, but I am going to a gym every Friday now. I stopped drinking soda, because I am taking care of my health. Have you ever gone to the doctor to do a checkup of your health? If not, It's a good idea.
Well, the main reason for my writing you in English is because I decided to follow your advice and I started studying English. I am studying in Celin, but I'm still a beginner. Do you have any advice for me to learn faster? Your English is great! I hope I can speak English as well as you. When I'm be fluent, I will come visit you. You must show me all the cool places in Boston. I hope you’re okay.

Hi there,
I would like some informations about the apartment in Toronto. First, I would like to know about the kitchen. Is there a fridge and an oven? Are they big? Can you send me a photo?
Additionally, I'd like to know about the living room and bedrooms. How many people can the apartment accommodate? How many bedrooms are there? How many beds and/or sofas are there?
I'm also wondering about the neighborhood. Is the apartment on a safe street? That information is missing in the description. Are there any supermarkets near the apartment?
Finally, I'd like to know about the price. How much is the rent for five days?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Yesterday, I went to a restaurant to eat Japanese food. I ate Misonikomi Udon. Misonikomi Udon is a kind of stew with noodles. The stew was made with miso. It has a strong taste, but I like it.
When I came back to my home, I watched YouTube. I like comedies, so I watched some. It was fun! Time passes so quickly when I watch YouTube.
This is the story of my day yesterday. :)Hi, Atsushi! Thanks for sharing your story with us. The udon sounds really good; it's getting cold in Fukui now, so I'm in the mood for some filling and hot food.
I hope these corrections help you. :)

My favorite food is sushi. Sushi is a traditional Japanese food. I like it because I can enjoy different kinds of fish. My favorite/My absolute favorite is tuna. Tuna is easy to eat, and I think it matches with Japanese horseradish the best. Japanese horseradish is very hot, but when you use it with soy sauce, it becomes less hot. Every time I eat sushi, I always eat tuna with Japanese horseradish and soy sauce.Hi!
I enjoyed reading your notebook. I'm a big fan of sushi, too. I really like having chawanmushi and sweet shrimp when I go to my local shop. I also really like sashimi, of which Japanese amberjack or horse mackerel are my favorites.
