Please read and correct any big mistakes. It is a very informal message. Thank you for your time and please let me know if I can help you in return! ありがとうございます。＾＾ 拝啓（name)　 Dear ___ 明けましておめでとうございます、最近お元気でしたか。 葉書ありがとう 読んだら嬉しくなった。 Happy new year, how have you been? Thank you for the postcard，I was happy after reading it. 私にとっては巻子本の手紙は不思議なくらい だから君とこのを送って したかった。ちょっと可笑しい 見たいだけど。楽しんで下さい ^^ A scroll type letter looks strange/mysterious to me therefore i wanted to send this to you. It looks abit strange but... please enjoy it.^^ ( the letter is written horizontal scroll style) 寒さひとしお身にしみる今日このごろ…　「劇的すぎるか？」 この国は信じられなくらいでだんだんもっとも寒いに成っています。。。　だめだ、移すしましょうか。 In this time of piercing cold... [too dramatic?] This country is unbelievably gradually becoming even more cold... its no good, shall we swap (countries)? 先月スコトランドで母の結婚式でした。それからエデンバラの動物園でパンダ見ました。はいはい、とっても可愛いと思ったけどざんねんながらなまけもの過ぎました。しょうがないね。 Last month was my mother wedding ceremony in Scotland. Afterwards we saw Panda's at Edinburgh zoo. Yes I think they are very cute however unfortunately they are very lazy. Cant be helped eh? (Can I end a letter with 敬具?) That is the main problem section... thanks for reading, any suggestions are most welcome.

An Informal letter to a friend in Hiroshima, suggestions welcome! Its not supposed to be a formal message hence the "Jaken", "Buchi" and "nan-yo!" but if anyone could find big grammer mistakes or make small Hiroshima-ben suggestions I would be most grateful. Im very much a beginner... Thank you so much! ^^ ども （なまえ）, 久しぶりだね。さいきん元気？ 葉書をありがとうね、読んだら嬉しくなった。 もちろん君とみんなを覚えている、おねがいお父さんと（なまえ) と　”やほ！”を言いてください＾＾ 新しいの大学勉強でがんばってなんよ！今私も大学で習いる。ぶち難しいじゃけん！とにかく今までに英語勉強はどうですか、言語の質問があったら言いてください。 よく宮島と広島のお好み焼きを覚える、楽し時だったね。 Hi (name), its been along time hasnt it. Have you been well recently? Thanks for the post-card, it made me happy after reading it. Of course I remember you and everyone, please say "Hi!" to your father and (name). Good luck with your new university study! Now im also studying at university. It's so difficult! Anyway, up-to-now how is the English study going? If you have any language questions then please ask.
