I grew up in Australia, but reached a native level of proficiency in Japanese by speaking Japanese at home, going to Japanese school, travelling to Japan, and immersing myself in Japanese books, dramas and television (it also doesn't hurt that I have a mum who teaches at a Japanese school!) I am currently studying an Arts/Law double degree, and have studied Japanese translation and interpretation at university. I tutor high school students studying Japanese in my spare time, but would love to meet students of all ages from all over the world. Whether you want to brush up on your language skills before travelling, you're a student who needs some extra help, or you're just interested in Japanese language and culture, I would love to help! I love learning new things and being challenged, so I will enjoy tailoring a course to suit your needs. *PLEASE NOTE: I encourage students to take a free trial lesson with me in my video. This was an error, as there is a minimum charge for trial lessons. Trial lessons with me are currently 10 ITC.

    Improving my listening through audiobooks

    I want to improve my English level and for that reason I spend a lot of time listening to audiobooks.
    Besides this, I usually listen to radio programs spoken in English.
    Day by day I notice that it is easier to me to understand the meaning of these dialogs.
    But it's more difficult to me to write or speaking correctly.
    I studied english many years ago and by not practicing I've lost a lot of easiness.
    I guess I 'll commit many errors (it may sound more natural to say 'make many mistakes' instead of 'commit many errors', which is very formal and serious language) and because of that I hope you correct me. I appreciate your help.

    Hello! You're right - it means 'I want to hold you'. It has a bit of a different connotation from 'I want to hug you', as it is more formal, and usually used in a romantic context. So yes, it is certainly something you could say to your partner :).

    Both would be understood, but I think the first one sounds more natural :)

    Hi Christian. Cool song!
    Sorry I couldn't get all of it, but I hope that it might help anyway. This is what I heard:

     

    Time again I find myself chasing questions in my mind
    And they keep coming back - they’re not leaving any time
    Oh I try there’s just no way I can chase these dreams away
    They said I'll understand, but I just can’t be like them

     

    It pushes down into my soul
    Leave the other path in vain
    I’m not afraid
    I need to find my home

     

    Why is everything so strange?
    Are we meant to never
    Learn to live, love and die?
    Father, help us understand
    Oh father, tell me what’s the way
    Forever be free
    Forever be free
    ___??

     

    Oh I wish I long no more for those days that fade away
    __??
    __??
    Round and through on a spin, now I’m meeting them again

     

    It crashes down into my soul
    Taking back my path of pain
    ?I’m in my bed
    I need to find my home

     

    Why is everything so strange?
    Are me meant to never
    Learn to live, love and die?
    Father, help us understand
    Oh father, tell me what’s the way
    Forever be free
    Forever this way
    __??

    Forever this way
    __??

     

    Time will tell
    __??

    Hi Shirleen. I think that you might mean 'auto-tuned singers'. 'Auto-tuning' is usually done with an audio program that can correct somebody's singing (usually if they are singing off pitch or missing some notes). I hope this helps!
