I'm Bryan. I'm 27 years old and a native English speaker from Florida learning Japanese. I've been fascinated with Japan as long as I can remember but I just now have started to learn. If you're willing to help me learn or you would like help with English or help learning English, feel free to send me a message or friend me. I have done both writing and speech tutoring for Native English speakers and non native speakers for 4 years. If you have questions or need any kind of help, I would like to help. Please send me a message here or if you add me on skype, please include your italki name and possibly a link. I'm looking for people that are willing to practice daily or at least every other day. I generally play games, listen to music, or spend time with my friends and family. You can reach me here by message on italki, but the faster means of communication are my Skype and LINE. Skype - seraphum LINE - neoshinesan I look forward to speaking with you all! - Bryan

Went up to ‘B’ on page 100. Slowly but you did understand the grammar. Let’s keep on practice to be more fluent at speaking. A good lesson=) ありがとうございました！

I don't know whether Bryan has a problem on his voice, But he was able to pronounce pitches from low to high. So I thought he would be able to pronounce from high to low. I hope he will make an effort to do it from now.

We tried 'A' on page 99 but I came to wonder if you understand the basic grammar, so I asked if you are able to translate the sentence that 'I am Bryan in USA'. But you couldn't. So I would like to review this fundamental grammar with you for your long term benefit. Moving U, RU and Irregular verb - chapter 3 - without understanding 'X is Y' is not good for you I think. Hope seeing you again=) ありがとうございました！

    You could use mimes in the first, but in both examples mimics would be the better word. He mimics films and the group guesses the title. He mimics a film and others guess what it is. Mime could be used as a noun and mimes can be used as a verb. Mimics is the act of copying or replicating an action or idea, so it would be a better verb. Like a Mime mimics. A Mime mimes. The first makes more sense.

    Hindsight is a word used to discuss an event in the past that the user speaks of that could've came out in multiple outcomes and about how an action had an impact on it. It could also be used to describe a formal of regret towards a previous action. "In hindsight, John taking that book really didn't matter"[more information would honestly be needed, but this is a quick reference.] "In hindsight, I should've asked her to come with me."

    write a short email to a friend about the last film that you saw.

    Dear Anna,

    I recently went to the movie theatre with my friends to see the film "The Avengers"."The Avengers," written and directed by Joss Whedon, is a 2012 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name produced by Marvel studious and distributed by Walt Disney Studious Motion Pictures.In the film,Nick Fury,director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D,recruits Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk and Thor to form a team that must stop Thor's brother Loki from subjugating Earth.Although this is an action movie, it is comidic, interesting, and exciting.Let's try seeing it when you're free!

    Love,
    Anh

    This is kind of a hard question to answer. There are so many ways to learn English. If you don't have anyone close by that could answer or explain what a word is, you could google search it, and if it has a picture associated to it, tell yourself a sentence story using the word and keep that image in your head. The other thing is to constantly practice. If you study here or there and there are large gaps or you don't get enough practice, you'll quickly lose the information you had gained. There are so many sources that you can use, such as Youtube, books, movies, TV shows. Other English speakers can help fill any gaps or explain words you don't understand. You just have to put in the time.

    You can use either or. Everyone has their own personality is correct and is gender neutral. Everyone has his or her own personality is OK, but sounds less formal and if you are writing say an essay, I wouldn't personally recommend it.

    Like Derrick said, if you are truly serious and you want to learn, there are those like him and myself that would love to help you. I'd be willing to help as well, but it's the same thing as he said, you need to be say what you can in English and even if you're not sure the word or words you're looking for, be able to give me some indicator of what you're looking for.

    It depends. If it's a formal email to say a company, you should include a closing. If it's to a close friend, you don't need to since they know you. Basically this: Formal email(to a business) - Yes(same as a letter) Informal to friend/family - Not needed.

    Kind of like said above. You could watch TV shows, Movies, and Youtube would be a great place as well. You can find people to hold conversations with you in English and if you're saying anything that sounds off or you need help, they could fill in any gaps or answer questions. Just constantly try to find new words, learn grammar and just keep practicing!

    The use of did is generally always a past tense confirmation or in a question. (Have you eaten? I did/did not) (Did you eat?) It's a slightly odd word in general and I'd feel it is generally a slang word but so commonly used it became a staple in casual speech.
