I'm currently preparing for JLPT N2, so I am looking for a teacher to help me get familiarized with N2 grammar. I am not looking for a language partner at the moment. My apologies. I became a naturalized Japanese citizen last year (hence the name change), but my Japanese still needs work. I hope to find a good teacher to assist me in my language learning goals.

Mary seems to be comfortable in speaking in Japanese and is able to express herself very well. Today it was just a trial lesson. I’m looking forward to having a real class with her soon.

    Hi there! Could your zodiac sign be Gemini 双子座 (or you must have some Gemini in your astrology chart)? Lol. Sorry I'm into astrology. I am Taurus, but I have lots of Gemini in my chart. Gemini people are very curious, and they like to try new things.

    Anyway, I am like you. I have so many hobbies and interests that I sometimes don't finish doing some stuff and just get back to them when I feel like doing them. My advice is to not think of a job, but think of the lifestyle that you want :). Think of something that you would enjoy doing everyday and that even if it becomes difficult, you'd still like to do it. In the end, 人生一度切り (YOLO), so you should do something that you love and enjoy. If it doesn't make you happy, try another one. Life is too short to keep on doing something we are not happy about. ^_^

    It's a way to wrap up the conversation, but you can also reply, "You, too." if you wish him the same. ^_^

    ********Hi. I understood what you meant in your sentence, and your use of vocabulary sent the message across clearly, but I just want to correct the grammar a bit.  Here is a more natural way of saying it ^_^:


    Limang buwan na akong nag-aral ng Tagalog noong 2016 pero pansmanatala akong tumigil. Nagsimula ulit ako ngayong Linggo. (I've been studying Tagalog for 5 months in the year 2016, but I stopped for a bit. I've just started studying again this Sunday.) 

    Nag-aaral ako ng Romanian rin.>>> Nag-aaral rin ako nang Romanian. (This is a more natural placement of "rin" if you want it to point out to the verb, it's better for it to be placed right after ithe verb itself.)

    Mas madali ang Romanian kumpara sa Tagalog. Ang (article a/an/the equivalent) isang dahilan ay mahirap ang paggamit verbs/pandiwa ng Tagalog. (Romanian is easier than Tagalog. One of the reasons is that it's difficult to use Tagalog verbs.) Ang isa pang dahilan ay (another reason is that)  wala akong mapapagkuhanan ng mga ito. Halimbawa, walang Tagalog sa Duolingo o Lingq kaya hirap akong makakuha ng mga bagong salita. (For example, Tagalog isn't available in Duolingo or Linq, so I find it difficult to obtain new words.)

    The way "to the point" is used in your sentence is not an idiomatic expression. If you add it in your sentence that way, it means that something has reached the extremity (extremes) of something after doing it for a long time or repeatedly, and it affected the speaker in a way. E.g. 1. I ran alot to the point that my feet started hurting. (It means that the activity, running, being done for a long time or repeatedly that made the speaker's feet hurt for doing it.) 2. It happens all the time and it only happens with my Canadian friends, to the point where I’m wondering if it’s Canadian way to say no. (It means that the idea of Canadian's saying "I'll let you know", has been in the speaker's mind for so long (hearing it alot), reaching the extreme that it has started bothering him/her.) 3. I sang for hours to the point that my voice has become hoarse. (She sang repeatedly--reaching the extremity that it even affected how her voice sounds afterward.)
