Hello! My name is Hasan. I'm from England, i live close to London. In my spare time i study Japanese because i really enjoy the language and i can only speak one! So i thought it would be a good idea to learn another, so when i travel i'd be able to converse with the native speakers. I plan on heading to Japan in late 2016 and i hope to be able to speak at a decent level. I joined italki because it seems fun to be able to speak to a native Japanese speaker. I wouldn't mind doing a trade(which i heard is popular on here!), teaching English, for Japanese in return. Thanks for reading

    The two birthdays dont have a connection. They have different meanings. The first birthday, ‘Gotta love a birthday suit.’ A Birthday suit is being naked. He's saying he loves being naked. The second birthday is an actual birthday, ‘But don’t get Will to pay for it. I’ll get it for you next birthday.’

    If we win, we all win together, but if we lose, I have to turn my focus on my team to see who was of the greatest value, who was of the least value. If we win, we all win together, but if we lose, I have to turn my focus on my team to see who was of the greatest value(during that game), who was of the least value(during that game). It's past tense, discussing the match/game they played. So the players value wouldn't be the same all the time, after different games there would be a different player really shining, or playing better than others. Your version with "has" suggests the "value" of the player doesn't change and that its a set amount. if you read it with the brackets, it will make more sense. This is what he is really saying, but he is missing that part out. Who was the most valuable to us that game? Who was the least valuable to use during that game?

    1. I was choked by my saliva. Is it idiomatic? I choked on my saliva. My saliva choked me. It makes more sense if you structure the sentences like this instead. 2. I have beem wearing/ dressing in drag for two years. wearing or dressing I have been dressing in drag for two years. Wearing isn't correct.

    Resemblance = Visual characteristics. That man resembles a duck. (that man looks like a duck) Resemblance = looks like. Similarities can be used to describe anything in both of the compared things. That girl has so many similarities to my last girlfriend. She has a good personality. Their hair is similar. But she resembles my cousin!

    I think that we write and talk with mistakes, because we don't think how a native speaker does. This is probably true, but you can't really teach someone that. you just need to keep using english. When i learn japanese, i translate everything i do to english to understand it. Maybe thats what your doing? This happens in my brain. Japanese word -> Translate to English -> Understand- >Transfer back to Japanese to answer. When you can skip the middle step and understand in the language your learning. It will happen, who knows! Your brain needs to think in English, not your native language.

    "Ain't" This is a slang word for "am not". It's used in common language. It's something you won't get taught, but you'll hear it. I don't recommend you learn slang words. It will only make you develop bad habits. I'm not taking out the trash! Slang I ain't taking out the trash! Correct I'm good at speaking english, ain't i? Slang I'm good at speaking english, aren't i? Correct

    Writing for IELTS task 1

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
    あけましておめでとうございます。

    I'm working on IELTS writing task1, and I need your help to correct my sentences.
    私は今、IELTSのライディングに取り組んでいて、文章チェックのためにあなたの助けが必要です。

    Task1 (half of it)

    The graph illustrates (could use either, but this makes more sense if you are explaining what the graph is to someone) the amount of goods which were transported in the UK, by four methods of transport (road, water, rail and pipeline) from 1974 to 2002. Each unit in the graph represents 1 million tonnes.

    Overall, the amount of goods transported by road, water and pipeline ended the period up compared to it in 1974 to in 2002 whereas by rail, it was almost the same.

    This last bit doesn't make much sense without the graph involved. I'm guessing your trying to say this. The road, water and pipeline methods of transporting goods increased during the period between 1974 to 2002, whereas by rail, it was almost the same.

    The Wonderful Tails of Hasan, Part 1 Captain's Log I'm currently studying from a Japanese text book called, "Genki 1". I've learnt Hiragana and Katakana. I can almost read Hiragana without ever making a mistake with the letter. However! My Katakana readings still need work, so thats what im doing currently. I've also learnt a lot of basic words and short phases that are useful. Hopefully i can update this more as i learn. Il slowly turn these notebook entries to Japanese when i get some ability to do it.
