I was born and raised in New York City. I've taken formal classes in both Korean and Japanese, though I discontinued my language studies until recently. Despite coming from a mixed-background, I was only raised learning English. *Note: I usually refrain from accepting language partners who aren't fluent or also learning my current target languages.

It was nice talking with you. You have a good listening and reading skill as well as a good pronunciation. Reading and writing daily about the topics of your interest will be one of the ways to improve your skills at your level. I hope to have a class with you again soon. Happy practicing! =)

    In the context of asking for a change in hotel reservation, could someone help me translate the following text to Japanese? "Hello, I no longer want access to the hotel hot springs from my reservation. I am unable to rebook my reservation online because some days are unavailable for my intended days of stay. Can something be done about this without canceling my reservation entirely?" For additional context, I recently booked a hotel with its own hot springs floor, however, its after booking my room that I found more information explaining that they don't allow those with tattoos to use the amenity. I tried contacting the hotel in English but their response implied that they didn't understand the question that was being asked. Thanks for your help!

    Self-Study Japanese - Where to start

    Hello,

    So, as the title suggests I'm actually planning on drowning myself in Japanese-studies along with my regular course responsibilities (since I'm in school right now). With that being said, it's not exactly my first time learning Japanese as I've taken a course a few years back when I first entered university. I plan on reviewing the alphabets and re-learning them, but as for studying grammar and starting to memorize Kanji, I'm not so sure where to start. Which is why I can't help but look for advice from other peers who are learning the language through italki and self-studies. If you have any advice, I'd totally be up for taking them. 

    Anyway, I'd like to add if any of you are comfortable with sharing learning-techniques or practicing Japanese with one another, I do have LINE and I would not mind adding you. After all, we are both expanding our own knowledge and even making new friends while doing so. 

    This offer is not exclusively for Japanese-natives and is open to anyone learning Japanese : )

    Thanks

    How to ask for a cigarette in Korean? So, I'm just a casual smoker. I rarely get the feeling to smoke unless I'm under some stress or I have a lot of things on my mind. In my University, a lot of Koreans tend to smoke outside and most of them seem to only speak Korean. In this case, how would I go about asking them for a cigarette? I used to think just simply asking "๋‹ด๋ฐฐ๋ฅผ ์žˆ์–ด์š”?" would be alright, but I want to get other opinions or possibly better expressions to use for this situation. Thanks.

    yeah, I tend to get this feeling as well. 

    I have not exactly had much Korean friends to begin with, and when I do, it's not really a language-learning kind of friendship I have with them. So, they're quite surprised when I do speak in Korean sometimes. My Korean teacher has also urged me to try and make Korean friends in my school (we have a lot of foreign exchange students), however, it gets a bit too intimdating for me since they only tend to hang out with other Koreans rather than any other students who are not Korean. I find it a bit weird, but then again, I can only guess that perhaps they feel a sense of security being surrounded by others from their country? Haha. Im not too sure.

    How can I get use to talking in Korean? My mind has a tendency to just blank/space out when I'm spoken to in Korean. Perhaps it's because I'm not used to having someone speak to me often in Korean that I just tend to freeze on the rare occasion it does happen. In my situation, should I just try to make Korean friends who are willing to speak to me in Korean? I'm actually a person with not that many friends so I don't know how to go about this. Please suggest something! Thank you.
