I am a college student on break from classes. I am choosing to major in Chemical Engineering. I currently work as a secondary "housewife" for when the primary housewife is unable to accomplish her tasks. Uhhh... Yeah... I like the way Japanese sounds; I am not completely sure as to why. Maybe it is just my fondness of the humor I have seen perpetuated from it(Ex: GOLDEN BOMBER). I am looking for a person to teach me, but I also do wish to just be able to casually converse with others who speak this language. I would hope to eventually be able to hold a stable and casual conversation using the language, but I know that will take time. I intend to help out people who want to improve their English as well. I have completed my major's general education prerequisites for English with relatively high marks, so I am quite proficient at the language I speak. Let's work together!

    diary

    Today I begin to start Italki . I am looking forward to meeting many people in another countries with this sns. I am Japanese and I want to study English more. I want to be <em>a</em> good English Speaker because I want to connect with many countries people.

     

    Notes:

    begin to: The editor before me did the same, but for extra explanation you can use either "start" or "begin to". You just can't use them both to refer to the same thing.

    meeting: Again, the editor before me explained this, but this is indeed just a more common term. 

    <em>a</em>: The editor before me made a typo. The "a" should go before "good" because "good" is describing the new subject role of "English speaker".  You can also just say "good at speaking English".

     

    because I want to connect with: This correction is important. "because" is a transition word that connects one idea to another idea. When you say "because", you are starting to speak about a new idea in your sentence, and because of that you need to write the new idea based on what the idea is. It's hard, but you will understand it.

     

    countries people: I made this change simply to point out that you can say either countries or people, but you can only use one of them at a time.

     

    I hope this helps clear up any questions you might have. :D

    Limited to the summer season

    July 1st 2015
    Today was rainy. ("Today was a rainy" is technically an incomplete sentence. Rainy is a word that describes a subject, and "a" is used to lead into another subject. If you end with "a rainy", you end up ending your sentence before it actually intends to end. Without the "a", the subject is still "Today", and because of this: "rainy" describes "Today".)

    I bought some beer that is on sale for a limited time in the summer. In Japan, there are a lot of limited-time products.
    I think it's uncommon in the world because we have four seasons. 
    How lucky we are! We can enjoy four variations of products :)   (You kind of caught yourself here, though you need the "<em>s</em>" at the end because you are talking about multiple product<em>s.</em>)

    There is no real difference, but most people tend to relate "contact with" to physical actions/availability. (Examples: "The man's came into contact with that persons face.", "Stay in contact with your children. Who knows when they will need your help?) "Connect with" tends to be used to define a relationship as personal and deep. However, it has lately been more frequently used in place of when it comes to advertising social media and the internet. (Examples: "You connect with my emotions so well", "Connect with your friends and family using *Insert Brand Name Of Social Media Here* ") They are fairly interchangeable, so do not stress about your use of these words too much.
