With journalism experience. Former corporate trainer at Fortune 500 US company. Finalist at national English and Tagalog poem writing contest. Learn basics from pronunciation to sentence construction and dialogue. I love and am passionate about travel and discovering new cultures. Having an excellent command of the English language has been very advantageous for me when it comes to both travel and work. I have a 100% passing rate when it comes to job interviews and have been trained to conduct interviews as well for applicants at my former job. I can talk about almost any topic under the sun in English. Be it business, food, culture, travel, hobbies etc. I can teach formal English for impressing a boss in a job interview or for use at work and I can also switch to colloquial or casual American English should you like for everyday conversation. If you are preparing for a test I can prepare sample questionnaires and practice with you until you get it right each and every time. Try my trial class for only 10 itc. You won't regret it! :-)

    Hi aficionado. I am a bit confused with your correction. Where did I ever mention the exact phrase “watashi to dansu shite kudasai" in the thread above? Please enlighten me. :-) And thanks for your input. I just started learning last week so I'm kind of just groping as I go along with the language at this point.

    Joseph can I use onigaishimasu whe I want to request an action and not just a thing like for example, "Dance, please?" (Dansu Onigaishimasu) or "Song/Sing, please?" (Uta onigaishimasu). Hoping for your response. :-)

    Thanks Joseph for helping me understand the proper use of Odaijini... It would have been awkward if I said that to a healthy person.. And thanks sooo much for your input! It really helped me out a lot especially the part about using Onigaishimasu when I am requesting for anything be it Biru (Beer), Orangi Jusu (Orange Juice), Mizu (Water), Ocha (Tea), Taoru (towel)  or whatever thing I would like to ask for.
