Thank you for stopping by my profile. My name is Mika. I'm a talkative mom who has 2 grown kids. I’m a licensed chef. After culinary school, I worked as an instructor at a cooking school. l occasionally give cooking lessons for international tourists or foreign people living in the Tokyo area! It's so much fun!😀 I also started blogging to share my love of Japanese food! It's still hard for me because of the lack of my English skills though... I'd appreciate it if you could help me with my English! Of course, I'm willing to help you with your Japanese in return! 😊 Blog: https://meshiagare.tokyo Instagram: meshiagare.tokyo

    ほかの国語も勉強しましょうか

    ↑ほかの言語も勉強しようかな？
    「しましょうか」sounds like you are offering something to someone. When you talk to yourself, しようかな sounds more natural.


    アメリカにいますが、私が住んでいる街にはポルトガル語を話す方がたくさんいます。

    ↑I agree with greenさん


    私は子供たちが小さいうちにずっと家で<s>は</s>仕事してきたんですが、最近お店で<s>も</s>バイトすることになりました。

    ↑私は子供たちが小さいうちはずっと家で仕事をしてきましたが、最近、お店でパートすることにしました。
    「きたんですが」is not wrong, However, that doesn't sound smooth in this sentence, or that sounds a little bit childish in writing.
    バイト is not wrong. But it's usually used when young people work part time. Since you say "part time" in English, you can say パートタイムで働くことにしました。
    if you decided to work, 働くことにしました sounds more natural to me.
    I'd say ずっと家で仕事をしてきましたが、最近、外に出てパートタイムで働くことにしました。How about this?


    同僚の人の中には、スペイン語やポルトガル語を話す人が割と多いです。お店の休憩室でその人が自分の言葉で話すことが聞こえると、「やはり日本語よりポルトガル語を勉強すればよかった」とよく思います。日本語が難しいし、周りに話す相手がいません。

    ↑ I like green's corrections.


    ようやく、スペイン語もポルトガル語もちゃんと勉強することにしました。高校生の時に学校でスペイン語を勉強しました。単語や基本的な文法を覚えていますが、その時も今も話すことが全くできません。ポルトガル語はスペイン語よりちょっと難しいと思いますが、似ていますので、一気に勉強しようと思います。

    ↑「なので、ようやく」…or 「そこで、ようやく…」should be better. 他はgreenさんに同意！


    とりあえず、挨拶や曜日のことしか勉強していませんが、学んだフレーズを同僚に試してみることができます。初めて「Tchau（チャオ）」とポルトガル人の同僚の女の人に言ったとき、すごくうれしそうな顔をしてくれました。

    ↑ No corrections required!


    日本語を勉強し始める前に、もし外国人が英語を話そうとしてくれたら、「あたりまえでしょう」と思ってしまいました。うぬぼれというより、単純な無知でしたが、本当に後悔します。もちろん、日本語も忘れたくない<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">ん</s>ですが、人が喜ぶため、他人の考え方をわかるようになるため、もっと人の言葉を勉強したいと思います。頑張ります！

    ↑greenさんの添削で良いと思いますが、「日本語も忘れたくないですが」良いです。特に writing では

    Let's practice how to describe pictures in Japanese and English ! I’m looking for a native English speaker who could practice how to describe pictures in English and Japanese by turns.

    For example, I’ll show you one picture. You’ll have 30 seconds for preparation and 45 seconds to describe it. Then let's take turns doing. You can learn how to describe position, action, situation, and of course you can say anything what you feel! I’ll help you with your Japanese and in my turn, I need your help!

    Message me if you are interested! Thanks!

    So far... I got the result of the TOEIC that I took last month. I'll get ¥50,000 from our company as a reward because I got more than 50 above my last score! Actually, I already got ¥30,000 last year. ¥50,000 is the last payment, so I can’t get any more even if I could get a higher score.

    Four years ago when I started to study English, no one thought such an old woman like me can improve English skills. So I couldn't say that I want to be a person in charge of English speaking customers but I became it two years half ago.

    When our company announced the incentive system, I thought that I wanted to get both ¥30,000 and ¥50,000. Then I got them!

    I've reached my goals step by step although it took longer than I expected. However, I haven't achieved my true goal yet! I'll keep working hard on that!

    鶏のから揚げ (Japanese style fried chicken) Could anyone please correct my mistakes in this recipe? I only need help from native English speakers. Thank you! Ingredients: 500g chicken thighs 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons sake 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic A pinch of Salt and pepper potato starch (or flour), for coating Vegetable oil, for deep-frying Directions: 1. In a bowl, combine chicken, salt, pepper, soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, and massage the chicken gently. Marinate for around 15 minutes. 2. Heat oil to 170 degrees Celsius. 3. Drain extra marinade from the chicken. Dredge the chicken in potato starch, and then, pat the excess flour off the chicken. 4. After putting the flour on the chicken, deep-fry the chicken right away for about 4 to 5 minutes. 5. Don’t touch the chicken for the first one minute to prevent the flour coating from coming off the chicken. 6. After one minute, stir the chicken several times. It helps the moisture to evaporate, it makes the chicken crispy. 7. Take out the chicken from the oil and drain extra oil.

    日常生活の日記２

    今日は私が働く学校で、ぶりの照り焼きを作りました。生徒の一人がレシピを教えてくれました。先週、彼女はイチゴ大福の作り方を教えてくれました。何でも作ることができるきますので、すごい人だと思います。実は、（私は？）料理するのよりベーキングするの方が（or パンを焼く方が）上手です。でも、彼女が教えてくれたおかげで、料理するのは簡単でした。もちろん、おいしかったです。

    もっともっと和食を作りたいです。
