I'm originally from California but I currently live outside Phoenix, Arizona. I want to learn Irish because I think it's important to ensure that languages do not go extinct and I would like to help. I've also been learning Spanish off and on for years.

Today was our first class, and I taught him the basics of Japanese fifty syllables and how to introduce yourself to people you meet for the first time. I hope we have the opportunity to learn together again.

    “For” is normally used to describe the purpose of something, or why you did something. For example: 1. iTalki is a website for learning languages. 2. I bought this present for you. 3. I went home for Christmas “About” is used to describe the subject or nature of something. For example: 1. I am reading a book about animals 2. This movie is about war 3. What are you talking about? But “about” is also used in other ways. It can mean you are going to do something very soon. For example: 1. I’m about to go to the store It could also be used to show emotion when you have been waiting for something to happen for a long time, or someone is taking a long time to do something. For example, after waiting hours for somebody to fix your car, you could say “it’s about time!” But that would be rude to say.

    Your English is great! I made a couple of changes, mostly grammar. The comma I added could also be replaced with a semicolon to break up that sentence. You could just make it two sentences also. 

    Today I was supposed to hang out with two of my friends but a typhoon was heading to my town, so we decided to push it back to next Saturday. Many trains were delayed due to the bad weather.

    We were plannning to go to Tokyo for lunch, to a restaurant which serves breakfasts from around the world. We made plans almost a month ago and we were so sad that we weren’t able to meet up today. We’ve been wanting to go there for a long time!

    I can't wait till next Saturday!

    Thanks for reading!

    Overall, your English is very good. I made some grammatical corrections and I changed some of what you wrote based on my assumptions of what you were trying to say.


    Just a story

    I often hear people say that there isn’t an afterlife, that the only life is here, and it is up to you what it will look like. As for me, I want to believe that there is an afterlife. It may not make any sense, but it offers hope that it will be possible to see loved ones again.

    I say that I want to believe in an afterlife because I think that our minds can provide us with anything. We get what we believe in (or “we create what we believe”).

    As for the afterlife, I am inclined to think that it is the place where your mind creates and controls everything, and only your mind has the power to change anything and everything. I would prefer to be reborn in a place of my choosing (or “I prefer to be reborn in a place that I choose”).

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but I'll reword it into a few sentences that an English speaker would understand. "If your heart doesn't stay where it should, nowhere is home" "If your heart isn't in the right place, nowhere is home". "If your hear isn't in the proper harbor, you're not home". It isn't correct to say "nowhere is housing"...it should say "home is nowhere" or "nowhere is home". It's also incorrect to say "if heart...". It should be "if the heart..." or "if your/her/his heart". You should also use "the" before "harbor". I hope this helps.

    My vacation ended

    After tomorrow my classes resume, including my English class. I'm happy because I like English but the others tire me. I'm studying at home because of a strike that happened in the middle of the month.


    I hope this helps! Good job

    There are many different ways to use both, but here are some examples: I went to the store. They are going to school. I wish I could go to Disneyland. I have been studying Spanish for five months. I need to buy food for dinner. I went to my parents' house for breakfast. I hope these help.
