Practice, practice, practice. Watch Japanese television without your native subtitles. Talk to people. I read you can be immersed in another language by surrounding yourself with foreign media alone. Oh, but it's tough...
I started learning Japanese 8 months ago now, my Japanese is significantly better. I can read decently, have small conversations, express myself of sorts when writing messages. However, I've still got a long way to go. My listening is awful and every time I master some grammar, a new piece pops up.
Also, try and stop using romanji Japanese. 日本語がすきです。It gets easier with practice.

This is where the cultures, clash. In England, people are encouraged to be more open and talkative. To confront people if you've been wronged, etc. People who are extremely shy are seen as socially inept and its frowned upon, etc. In class, you're encouraged to stand up in front and be confident.
Do I think Japanese people are shy? I wouldn't honestly know... I haven't met any Japanese people! But a lot ignore my messages for language exchange, so I dunno if they're being shy.

=>SENTIRSE COMO PEZ EN EL AGUA
An example:Mark: Hi Aine! How are you doing?How's going your life at your new school?
Aine: Hi Mark! Things are completely different here but I'm getting used to it.
I really like my new classmates, they are so kind, "me siento como pez en el agua," (It means that you're are comfortable with something. The translation is: Feel like a fish in the water.)
=>SALIÓ RANA
When things go wrong you can say: salió rana.
For example: I made a cake but it went wrong (ice un pastel pero me salió rana)Your main thing is to remember when to use full stops, commas and capital letters. Also remember to use 'you're' in certain contexts. I.e. "You're going to the park?"
You've made a few spelling mistakes but that'll improve with experience.
Good luck.

Today was a good day for me. Finally I got my score in the English placement test. I'm glad to obtain a B2, but I know that I need to keep practicing more every day.
My next goal will be to get a Visa. I'd really like to visit the USA because I know how to talk English in a real context. It helps me to find a better chance to grow up in a personal and professional meaning. :D0 votedAugust 7, 20151Simple note %)
