Hi, I'm Rachel and I'm from Florida. I am a travel enthusiast and have a deep interest in culture, history, philosophy and nature. My goal is to one day work as a translator. To accomplish this I am learning Japanese and trying to move to Japan for total immersion. I've come to italki in search of a tutor, practice partners and general information about living in Japan. I'm hoping to meet people who are as committed to language learning and knowledge seeking/ sharing as I am. So if you are from Japan or speak Japanese, lets talk!

Thank you for your feedback!:) it looks like there were some issues with Skype /Microsoft between 3-5pm. ..I saw that you understand some parts of Genki1 Chapter 1-3 well but I think it would be good idea for you to review Genki1 from chapter1 and learn slowly. then you can Japanese deeply and you can have more conversation using Japanese! (that is the important part!) Good luck with your Japanese!! がんばってください。

    住む　or 住んで or 住みます. If I were to show someone I don't know well a picture and say "This is where I live." Which form would I use to express "I live" and why?

    To move somewhere If I were to say I moved somewhere, or will be moving somewhere ; in Japanese do I use 変わる for "move"? Or is another word used for this kind of situation. ありがとうございます

    Making friends with (Japanese in particular) locals when traveling.

    I am on Okinawa for the summer because I had an opportunity here. I will be going to "mainland" Japan for a few weeks end of summer.

    I have been studying Japanese for a year and a half but can not even really construct a sentence yet. I have a fair amount of vocabulary though. But I believe it would be good just to be around Japanese people, listening and trying to speak when I can.

    I'm in a unique situation because I am staying in a "rural" part of the island, and have my own transportation so won't be needing public transit. These are things that put you out of contact as opposed to in contact. Also there is a heavy American military presence here and I do not want to be lumped in with them. 

    What would you all do or have done to try  and interact with locals? Especially when trying to learn their language?

    Use of 用 This character comes up in two example sentences on a set of flashcards I'm using. Here are the sentences: 喫煙用テラス レストランには、喫煙用のテラスが別にある I'm trying to understand the purpose of 用 and when to use it. Thank you!

    わかりました A Japanese language learning site I'm using has わかりました as meaning : alright, I get it, OK. But I thought this was the past tense polite form of わかり. So wouldn't it mean "I got it" or "I understood"?
