カナダで住んでいる作曲家でピアニストです。時々短編小説と記事も書く。文学と音楽に興味があったら、メッセジーしてください!僕の日本語は正直それほど上手じゃないけど、ちょっとだっけ日本語でコミュニケーションを取れて、練習はいつ大丈夫です! Canadian composer and pianist. I also sometimes write short stories and academic papers. Very interested in Indian and Japanese history. If you enjoy literature or music, send me a message, I would love to talk! 多分英語と日本語は今僕の一番上手な言語だが、フランス語も上達したい。でも、フランス語と日本語を話せる人本当に会えたい! Maybe English Japanese are my strongest languages, but I also want to improve my French, which I would like to get to my Japanese level. I would really like to meet someone who can speak both French and Japanese! Beyond that, I have dabbled a little bit in Latin, German, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Sanskrit, Pali and Polish, but I would not say I am skilled in any of them! But I know the basics for all these languages, and it would be fun to meet with someone who is also interested in them.

    Hey Sachin, this is an interesting question. It's probably best to master a language before trying to get rid of an accent, but it's definitely possible. As long as you can tell the difference between how you sound and how native speakers (of a language or accent) sound, it's possible to sound closer to them. Just find words that you pronounce differently, and keep practicing until you can move your tongue and lips so that it sounds like the native speaker. This takes a lot of work, but not as much work as learning a new language! It's just like learning an accent in your own language. You need to train your ear to hear differences, and train your voice to produce those differences. A lot of physical training is involved.

    Ma Traduction de "La Chanson de l'Universel" Bonjour! De pratiquer mon Français, je voudrais faire une traduction de la poème "Song of the Universal" par le poète americain Walt Whitman. C'est tres magnifique, mais ma traduction est juste une expérience! COME, said the Muse, (Venir, dit la muse) Sing me a song no poet yet has chanted, (Chanter à moi une chanson ne poète pas a chanta encore) Sing me the Universal. (Chante à moi l'Universel.) In this broad Earth of ours, (À l'intérieur de cette grand mond de la nôtre) Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, (Dans le grossièreté innombrable) Enclosed and safe within its central heart, (sûr dans la cœur central) Nestles the seed Perfection. (La graine Perfection repose) Bien sur, le rhythme est étrange. C'est ne pas une traduction réel! Quand même, corrigerez mes erreurs, s'il vous-plait (linguistique, pas de artistique!)

    I haven't seen it myself, but I hear it's really good. Pixar films are usually fantastic.

     

    Here are my corrections...

     

    I watched the movie, "Inside Out"

    I watched the movie, Inside Out with my family.

    Consider putting the two sentences together as:

    I watched the movie "Inside Out" with my family. Much simpler!
    インサイドアウト(邦題)を家族と見ました。

      It was SO exciting and interesting.

    (This is more grammatically correct)
    すごくおもしろかったです。

    I'll get the DVD, and I'll be sure to watch it in English, without Japanese subtitles!

    "I'll never fail to watch it in English" sounds kind of funny, honestly. :D But it should "I'll be sure to". And credits is wrong - should be subtitles!
    DVDを買ったら、絶対日本語字幕なしで英語でみるんだ!

    Twitter news says that green pepper in Japan is broccoli in the US.
    Twitter でみたんだけどピーマンはアメリカではブロッコリーなんだって。

     Does this mean that many kids in the US hate broccoli?

    Also, yes, it's true. :P
    つまりアメリカではブロッコリーが子供達に嫌われてるということかな。

    Disgust in the US is translated to ムカムカ in Japan.

    Hmm, I wasn't aware of that. ムカムカ is like "feeling sick", right?
    Disgust は日本ではムカムカと訳されています。

    The Japanese word ムカムカ means not only ムカムカ(disgusted) but also イライラ(irritated).

    This is similar to English, too. If we are irritated with someone, we can say they "disgust us".
    日本語のムカムカには、おえ〜とか最悪〜とかいう意味だけでなくイライラするという意味もあります。

     

    Thanks for include the original Japanese, too. It's useful for my own Japanese studies, and helps clarify your meaning.


    Hope that helps!

    Hmm, well, business emails are typically something you should write on your own, or hire someone to edit. But we can help you improve your English skills so you feel confident enough to write them on your own!

     

    Maybe give an example of a business email you wrote.

     

    As for your question, here is a correction:

     

    Help me to write Business Emails

    Can somebody please help me write business emails. Or let me know which things you should keep in mind while ("when" might work better here, but "while" is OK too) writing an email.

    Peter 1st

    Hello everyone! Now I want to tell about gobernor of Russia Peter 1st. So he is grand imperator of Russia. Due to him Russia began grand country. We pride of him!

     

    ---

     

    This entry is mostly good, but there are some grammar and spelling problems.

     

    I would correct it like this:

     

    Hello everyone! Now, I want to talk about Emperor of Russia Peter I. He was a grand emperor of Russia. Because of him Russia became a great Country. We are proud of him!

     

    We say "I want to talk about", not "I want to tell about."

     

    Gobernor should be governor. But we would say "emperor" or "ruler".

     

    "Due" is too formal. We would say "because of" here.

     

    I hope that helps!
