Hello. Konnichiwa! I am Bud from the USA currently living near Chicago, IL. I am a native English speaker trying now to learn the Japanese language. I work as a computer programmer for a large health care company here in the USA. I travel to Japan sometimes for my work, and also for vacation. I am interested in learning the Japanese language and culture for both my work and my personal interests. I have studied Japanese for about 8 months, and can only hold simple conversations. I wish to find language partners who can help me with my Japanese, and I can help you with your English in return. We can talk about language, culture, or anything you find interesting. I have a skpe ID and computer. I look forward to meeting new friends here. Please message me here or on SKPE if you are interested!

    The only way I have heard this used is "the wheels on the bus have finally fallen off". It means someone is in a bad situation, and the situation is now very bad. Often used to infer someone is going crazy.

    元気かい meaning I heard a phrase from a toy I bought in Japan which says: 元気かい ! This translates to "how are you" according to Google Translate. I understand the "Genki", but what does the "kai" mean in this context? Thanks.

    "wished" is technically OK to use, but "I made a wish" sounds more natural, and is more commonly used in the situation of blowing candles on a cake on your birthday. When you use just "wished", you usually say what you are wishing for: "I wished I had studied more for the test."

    Run of the mill: lacking unusual or special aspects; ordinary: Par for the course: what is normal or expected in any given circumstances: They are quite similar in that they both denote usual or normal. The latter is actually a golfing term, and indicates that what you did or accomplished was just average - nothing great or spectacular.

    His preference or liking: But in older English one's mind often meant one's wish, liking, disposition (in fact we still use it in that sense in I have I mind to do such-and-such), especially in colloquial and dialect use

    Something someone does that pushes you just a bit too far, and makes further continuance of the situation near impossible. See definition: "a further difficulty or annoyance, typically minor in itself but coming on top of a whole series of difficulties, that makes a situation unbearable."

    I would start learning the language structure and words. At the same time, pick up some of the more common Kanji along the way. Kanji is actually easier to understand if you know some of the words and patterns. So, learn them side-by-side.
