I like to dance/breakdance, and I love parkour and gymnastics as well, I've been studying Japanese on and off for about 6 months now, just teaching myself through books and blogs, but I've never actually spoken to anyone, (I'm kind of antisocial that way:P but it's something I want to break out of) Other things I like to do are draw, read, and run. And I'm a pretty big martial arts type kid. I'm a little awkward, I realize, but I'm told I'll get used to people the more I talk; so I'm hoping that's so:P haha. Anyways, Thanks for visiting my page, and send me a friend request! I look forward to speaking with you;D So here's the thing; I'm awesome, and you're awesome, so let's get together and be like double awesome for a bit, yeah? Cool.     -Leonidas Arai

It was really good to know that Leo-san likes jokes called "Oyaji-Gag"s. Japanese language may be a little tricky due to the male expressions and female expressions. I am trying to use neutral expressions but please forgive me if I use female expressions in the sessions. I raised up with only female siblings. It will be natural to me. In stead, I'll try to explain different informal expressions and usages as much as I can because of your final goal.

たくさん新(あたら)しい表現(ひょうげん)を学(まな)びました。聴く練習(きくれんしゅう)や話す練習(はなすれんしゅう)も言葉(ことば)を習得(しゅうとく)するときの大切(たいせつ)な要素(ようそ)です。Leo-san learned many new expressions in the session. Training of listening as well as speaking will be important factors when you master languages. Let's talk more in Japanese next time. :)

    When Fraser Met Billy

    This book is about a mother who has an autistic child, whom she called 'an angry child', because the first three days after he was born, he was screaming without a break. She knew immediately that something wasn't right but didn't know what it was.
    He The boy(would be better) was only diagnosed as an autistic child when he was after he'd already turned a year and eight months old, : (when he wasn't reaching a the milestones that a one year and eight months old child could do.) Although his mom had been trying to tell the staff (nurses and doctors) in every appointment they had they've had, only to have found herself being labelled as a mother who didn't  take enough care of her child.
    Frazzled and almost loosing hope that her child could still be a normal child. She decided to find a pet for him as he couldn't/didn't want to interact with other children. And they found Billy, a gray cat from Cats Protection. They soon formed a strong bond and gradually Billy helped the boy to came come out from his shell and interact with the world around him. Billy brought a significant change in their life, especially for the young boy, ; from tantrums and chaos to a calm and happy atmosphere.

    "the coin fell and rolled into the split" --> "The coin fell and rolled into the crack." crack, crevice.... "The coin fell and rolled right into the crevice of the split, stone wall." [split is a verb, actually. It can also be used as an adjective, but is rarely ever used as a noun. "Crack" and "Crevice" would be nice synonyms, and slot's ok to, but would be better if it was the "slot of something" or if there was a little more context behind the sentence. :) ] -best of luck in your studies!!! example of split being used as a noun -ish: "The coin fell and rolled right into the crevice of a large split in the stone wall."

    if you're learning a language, don't worry about offending anyone. For me, I use whatever I know to make my thoughts known, and my body language says "I don't mean offense" ;)   - if that makes any sense. Politeness comes after communication in my book ;P

    Japanese department stores

    Japanese department stores are likely to be located at a nearby station and to form a complex with rival department stores because a town with a lot of department stores can entice shopper's, and shopper's have an advantage to be able to compare prices and goods easily due to the fact that the department stores are just a stone's throw away from a rival.

     

    This, however is an incomplete thought, just because of how the sentence is ordered. It would sound more natural like this

    Yeah I'm right there with you. One thing I would ask is are you trying to say "I have a full time job" 「私はフルタイム仕事がありますの」or "I received a new full time job" 「私は新しいフルタイム仕事がもらいますわ!」 「先週は新しいフルタイム仕事が喫茶店とワインバーでもらいますわ!やった!(*^^*)」 I don't know any grammar more advanced than this, sorry:/ でも、がんばってね!

    Speak it. seriously. grab a phrase book and memorize a few introductions and DONT SPEAK FARSI! LIKE AT ALL! It'll be pretty hard at first but there are tons of people here who would be happy to help you out. Add me, I've been wanting to learn Farsi anyway, so we can teach each other:)

    I'm in agreement with Andrew. Though in my experience, "Buddy" is usually more condescending, belittling, or sarcastic than it is lighthearted. And when it is lighthearted, it usually sounds stiff or awkward. "Dude" is a 俗語 term. It's informal, and used between friends of both genders, though typically, boys don't call girls dude. Um, think of mixing ~ちゃん and おまえ to get "dude". When it's used with strangers, it typically has a negative connotation, but not always. old people don't use dude. or man. "Man" is also 俗語。 Man is a good term when used with other people, but is sometimes used as an expression of slight disappointment "ah man." I hope this adds some more clarity on top of what Andrew said
