マイクさん、きのうは　すみませんでした。and ありがとうございました。 Here is my advice when you struggle with memorizing vocabulary. 　　　1.If you want to study on PC or app, you can use Anki-deck or quizlet. Both are flush cards that you can make by myself. 2.If you want to study on paper, you can make paper flush cards. With any paper like copy paper. You can just write Japanese word on the front side and write translation on the other side. As far as I know, my students who use these flush cards memorize vocabulary better than other students. So I recommend. じゃまたね。

マイクさん、きのうは　ありがとうございました。　Well done! You can review words like どこwhere、なにwhat、どれwhich in chap2. As for なに　and なん(both means what)、　 なん is　like なんじですか,　なんですか。　　On the other hands, なに is like なにを　のみますか（objective) じゃ、また！

マイクさん、きのう　は　ありがとうございました。when you talk Japanese, you can try to start the sentence with 'XXX は～～～’. For example, in the beginning of this message, I wrote 'きのうは　ありがとうございました’　which directly translate to 'Yesterday is thank you' which means 'thank you for yesterday'. But in Japanese you can start with　きのうは。　Please try.　じゃまた。

    Ciao, parlo un po’ d’italiano. Ma devo praticare più. La mia madrelingua è inglese. Possiamo parlare in inglese per cinque minuti e poi in italiano per cinque minuti e continuiamo per un mezz’ora.

    I’ve found that learning one language increases my interest in all languages. If you study French you will enjoy it more. But you also may find that Spanish becomes more interesting. Learning one language makes learning others easier. And Spanish has many similarities with French. You may even find it easier to learn Spanish if you first learn French!

    Elfin, grazie. Ho pensato che Firenze o Venezia hanno troppo turisti. Anche Roma. Ma preferisco un città grande. Abito in campagna e mi piace visitare la città. Ho pensato che Milano sarebbe un buon compromesso. Che ne dice Turino?

    Recommendations for a full immersion school

    Ciao,


    I'm planning to spend a month in Italy with the sole purpose being to learn to speak and understand Italian. I'm currently thinking I'd prefer to stay in Milano but I'm open to other ideas. Does anyone have experience with a full immersion school?


    Grazie,

    Mike

    It's really just a colourful expression that refers to a lot of animals, like buffalo, running. It's used pretty much exclusively as a metaphor for a big trend, a lot of people going in the same direction, maybe financially, but not exclusively.

    Not bad. Change "that allowing" to "that allow" in the first sentence. In the last sentence you should probably say "understanding of accounting systems" rather than "understanding of THE accounting systems". Or "understanding of the accounting systems Great Plains and QuickBooks". The word THE makes it specific. The word LIKE makes it general. Hope that helps.

    Thank you, all, for your replies.  I've sent an email to iTalki support.  Alessandro, you were indeed one of the teachers I messaged.  Here is what I said:

     

    Salve! Ho studiato italiano per un anno, ma non ho studiato per uno o due mese. Voglio parlare solo italiano durante le lezioni. Mi piace che Lei istruisce bambini. Credo che mio italiano é uguale a bambino che ha due anni.

     

    Ciao,

    Michele

    Teachers aren't responding

    I've sent an introductory message to two different teachers and have not gotten any replies.  How can I be sure iTalki is properly sending my messages and that they are bieng received?
