Hello! My name is Gabrielle. I am from Alabama but I now live in Ohio and I work a regular warehouse job. I hope to learn another language, more than one if possible, and maybe carve a career path . I have been dabbling with learning Japanese since i was 12 years old. It is such a beautiful language to me and it has always interested me to be able to speak another language. I need to improve my ability to speak and read. I know a little Japanese but i'm not able to hold a conversation and i would love and enjoy help.

Had you practiced 'X wa Y desu' with particle 'no' in many sentences since you understood the grammar very qickly. It was a great session for me to see your potential to be good at speaking Japanese in near future. A good trial =)

It was a trial session. We practiced how to introduce ourselves in Japanese. She can mention her name, nationality, occupation, and some hobbies. :) ぜひれんしゅうしてください。

    Healthy body

    In Japan, many women think that being slender is being beautiful. There are a lot of too slim underweight fashion models and actors in media, so people try to be like that.

    Of course, obesity is not good for their health, but almost of all all of the people who try to reduce their weight are not fat. Recently, even elementary school students are trying to be more slender. I think it's strange because eating well is really important to for young people.


    Um......I know many my friends say that "Mino is fat" but I won't be on a diet. Oh, no no no no! I'm not fat, I'm just...a little bit chubby...I think lol. We say chubby "ぽっちゃり pocchari"in Japanese , pocchari girls are popular among few boys.lol





    Um...I want to be slender but  I just...really really really love to eat!!! lol
    That's all. haha


              red marks mistakes found 

             baby blue marks corrections

             light purple marks spacing issue

    You have great grammar and you are easy to understand. Also I wouldn't worry about being chubby lol. You can be pretty and get a boyfriend at any size. I'm very chubby and have a loving relationship. so I don't think it really matters as long as you try to be healthy.

    Getting lost

    I usually don't like getting lost, especially when I am almost late for an appointment.
    However, I enjoy getting lost when I travel because I find places with nice or interesting views or shops, and asking local people about the direction  for directions is fun, especially if the people are talkative. In fact, I am not afraid of it. and I would rather go further with my curiosity when I get lost by asking questions.

    Fortunately, whenever I got lost, someone always has always helped me even when some of them couldn't speak English, they tried to help me somehow.

    In Tokyo, the number of tourist has increased recently because of mainly  mainly because of the weak Japanese yen.
    Going forward, I want to help foreigners getting lost like me.

    Thanks for reading.
    Happy holidays!

    Oh and another thing about kanji. Don't focous on memorization of a specific kanji once you do start learning them because they can have too many different pronounciations.

     

    Just learn what that kanji itself is suppose to mean in your language. As you build your vocabulary it will start to click as you keep going. I find that this is working well for me.

    It sounds like you are trying to do too much too fast. Don't try to do it all at once was what my first Japanese language teacher taught me. I break mine up into different activites for different days. I do kana & kanji one day, Listening & speaking practice another day, And grammer practice another.  I use study apps like Human Japanese & Kanji Study. But don't soley depend on your computer. Have books around that you can use or try to find a study partner to build lessons with. It's good to have different methods of learning so you don't get bored and if you're new at it I wouldn't study but a few times a week so you don't get frustrated :) of course the more you learn the more you will study, especially if you love the language you are learning. The breakdown of activites I have mentoned above will likly overlap each other. Thats ok just make sure you have a focous point for your study materal. 

     

    All the best!

    They basically mean the same thing however. If you use "will" it means that this is certain so it is defiantly going to happen in the future. when use use I "am" It's not as certain as I "will" it's kinda like saying " I probably will do _____." So am is a little more flexible than "will".
