Hello. My name is Callum, and I have been learning Japanese for a short time now. I am very much a beginner and I am looking for more ways to improve my language ability. So far I am only able to read hiragana and katakana quite slowly - I have begun learning kanji through WaniKani, but I am not yet able to read much of it. Learning goals of mine would be to watch Japanese film without subtitles, read Japanese literature and to be able to hold a conversation. I am a long way off from reaching these goals, but I hope that I can achieve them with your help!

Callum-san studies hard and his pronunciation is very clear. We will review どれ,も ,じゃないいです and practice speaking.

    Both are correct. 'Get a feel for' and 'get the feel of' are idiomatic phrases to mean 'become accustomed to'. They are just slightly different ways of saying the same thing.

    In addition to meaning that he had no friends at school, it also carries the implication that even the teachers would not help Harry with the bullies.

    In the first case, you are correct. Both 'so' and 'very' can be used in that case. However, in the second case, you can also use both 'so' and 'very'. 'The man was so kind to me,' is also correct. In both the first and the second case, 'very' and 'so' have the same meaning. There is no difference. In the third case, only 'The man was such a kind person,' is correct. You can also say 'The man was a very kind person.' 'Very' can be used for new information, and 'so' to emphasize it. For example, you could say, 'I'm very tired. I didn't know yoga was so tiring.' In this case, either 'very' or 'so' could be used in both parts, but using 'so' second gives emphasis. You can also use 'so... that' to emphasize a result. For example, you could say, 'She worked so slowly that she didn't finish in time.' In this case, using 'very' or 'such' would be incorrect. You can also use 'so' in short answers to agree with someone. For example, you could say, 'I hope so,' in response to a question. In this case, 'very' or 'such' would be incorrect.
