Despite the fact that Kathy did not have the class for more than a month, she has been studying hard. As we had planned since last time, I gave a quiz of Kanji reading today, and she did very well. She could not remember some of the readings of Kanji, but most of the time, she was able to remember the meanings. I was very pleased to see the result which shows her continuous interest in Japanese.

Kathy is doing very well. Despite the long break she can speak Japanese quite well, and her pronunciation is very good. I am very happy about it.

It was very good to see Kathy after almost two month break. I missed her pleasant personality and cheerful lesson. Despite the long absence, Kathy was able to talk to me in Japanese, and I was very happy to hear her Japanese.

Kathy is doing well, especially she does very well with Kanjis. Today we went over the Kanjis in L.7 in 「げんき」。The six sentences she had prepared were all perfect. I asked her to keep up her work during the period of no class. She will send some of her work at least once a week.

    ありがとうございます！


    There's a lot of great suggestions here! 


    I pretty much like all music though I'm not that into rap - rock, power ballads and pop mainly :)


    Monkey Majik is really interesting! Reminds me of a song from Queen (my favourite band ever) called Teo Torriatte https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge18n2JCwBs

    Good Japanese music for a beginner?

    Hi!

    So I'm still a beginner and even though I may not understand all the words, I like listening to Japanese music as it helps a lot with pronunciation and just getting used to hearing the language.

    Any popular J-Pop artists in particular that you would recommend for a newbie? I intend to write out the lyrics and study them as part of my studying.

    Thanks! :)

    I can teach English to my kids.

    In Japan, most people can't speak English, especially over our generation.
    Nowadays, mothers know that they should have their child learn English.
    One of my friends bought expensive teaching materials for her kids worth as much as my monthly income.
    If I had children, I could chat with my kids in English so they could acquire English before they know they learn the basics before they start learning English in school.
    Although I spent a lot of money to learn English, I it can have some benefits.

    I wasn't sure what you were trying to say when you were talking about teaching your children English, but I've corrected it in the way that I thought made most sense.

    Well done! :)

    Start at italki

    I'd like to brush up on my poor English, so I'm start at italki, just now. I've just started iTalki.
    But I don't know how to use this iTalki well. How What should I do at first??

    Welcome to iTalki! I'm the opposite of you - English is my first language and I am learning Japanese :)

    Have a look around the community and articles, then search for an English teacher. I think when you sign up you get three trial lessons for free, so book some trial lessons to find the right teacher.

    Good luck! :)

    Speaking a foreign language

    I've got a problem that can be quiet quite annoying when learning a language... I feel very shy when it comes to speaking a foreign language, especially with a totally stranger. It's because of this that I don't understand the people that directly ask for Skype or directly give their Skype address by message. I really don't feel comfortable speaking to someone I don't knkw know, especially in a foreign language. It's a big problem here on Italki because many people aski ask for my Skype (even if it's written on my profile that I don't use it...). I enjoy chatting and writting writing to people in a foreign language but when it comes to speaking it's a real problem... I'd like to have some advice if it's possible.
    Thanks for reading


    Your English is very good! Like Saqib said, just little mistakes here and there but otherwise great :)

    Speaking is a great skill to have but only you know if and when you are ready for it - so don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :)
