kayloさんに喜んでいただけたようで、うれしいです。そうですね、アクセントやプロミネンスを含む日本語の発音について詳しく教えている日本語教師はまずいないと思います。今後もアクセントなどに気を付け、自然な日本語が話せるように頑張ってください。
Activities
I'm learning English again
Recently, I'm learning English again.
Because I made friends with a foreigner. /OR/ Because I became friends with a foreigner.
I went to camp.
But I never heard their speaking.
I began an English lesson.
I bought the foreign sitcom ""Full House""
Uncle Jessy is/was very cool . Joey is very funny. The children are very cute
I watch it every day.ドラマは英語のdramaとは少し違いから、sitcomのほうがもっと自然な表現だと思います。
sitcomとは日常系の番組ですよ。
Because the Japanese word for drama is a little different than the English word for drama, I think that sitcom sounds more natural.0 votedJuly 19, 20161- There's a slight difference in meaning. I couldn't explain it myself, so I found a website that does a really good job at explaining it. 1:You should use look or appear "when describing an observable condition." EX: He looks angry/He appears angry. (His face is red and muscles are tensed up. Everyone can observe these features to see he looks angry) 2: You should use seem "to describe a perceived condition." EX: He seems upset. (I personally have a reason to think he is upset, but it may be only my perception, and other people may not think he seems upset) So in summary: Look/appear is more objective/everyone can understand Seem is more subjective/personally understand http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/21758/seem-appear-look-how-to-differentiate0 votedJuly 19, 20160
- (1) They have the same meaning, but in my opinion "rear-facing" is more commonly used than "backward-facing" when people talk about car seats. (2) The first thing I think of when I hear "rear-facing" is a baby's rear-facing seat in a car. You can use either term for any car that has seats that are backwards. There can also be backward-facing seats in airplanes, which apparently is more safe than front facing seats in the event of a plane crash. http://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/11476/why-are-passenger-seats-not-facing-backward-on-an-airplane0 votedJuly 19, 20161
Sake and beautiful skin
I like to drink alcohol. You can say "I like to drink beers" or "I like to drink beer," but you CANNOT say "I like to drink alcohols."
I usually drink Japanese "Sake" every night. You can also say "I usually drink a Japanese alcohol called "Sake" every night"
Sake is made of rice.
Sake is said to be good for the/your skin. You can also say "It is said that sake is good for the/your skin"
So, people who live in a region that makes good Sake have beautiful skin.面白い作文ですよ。酒は肌にいい飲み物のことを知らなかった。綺麗な肌のために、週に何回ぐらい、そしてどれくらい酒を飲みますか？もし私は毎日酒を一口飲んだら、私の肌がすぐに若くなる可能性があるか？ どう思う？ 笑
This is an interesting entry. I had not heard about Japanese Sake being good for the skin. In order to get beautiful skin, how many times a week and how much Sake do you drink? If I were to chug Sake everyday, is there a possibility that I quickly get young looking skin? What do you think?
0 votedJuly 6, 20161I think this is the meaning you wanted on these two lines.
But it is high calory anything else. ---> But it is high in calories along with other bad things.
The sound is good spice ---> The sound makes it taste better/The sound of the noodles makes for the best spice (I'd probably choose The sound makes it taste better)日本語版を付いたら、もっと的確な回答をしようと思います。

Working hard: Spending lots of time and effort to get a job done
Working smart: Being efficient with time and effort to get a job done
They are both good, but I would prefer to work smart. Working hard is good but it might not be the most efficient.
0 votedMarch 28, 20160- Causative Verb 練習 （日本語の動詞） and 変な質問。 練習： 1.) 何が彼をそんなに怒らせましたか？ (What caused him to get this upset?) 2.) 彼は僕に微妙な酒を飲ませました。 (He made me drink strange alcohol (sake)) 3.)僕は彼に微妙な酒を飲まされました。 (I was forced to drink strange alcohol by him) 4.)僕は彼に微妙な酒を飲ませました。 (I forced him to drink strange alcohol) 5.)子供の頃の音楽を聴く時、懐かしいことを思い出されました。 (When I listen to music from my childhood, it makes me remember nostalgic things) 質問： First, is there a way to make an adjective or maybe a noun causative? (Example: The paint made him blue. The drugs made him stupid) The other question is a little strange. In English it is uncommon, albeit grammatically correct, to say something like "I made him make me apologize." I forced him to make me apologize -> He then forced me to apologize -> I then apologized It gets confusing if you nest in a bunch of causative verbs, so it becomes redundant and annoying because even an English speaker wouldn't understand the causality of something like this: (I made him make me make him make me run away). This type of annoying structure is usually done in comedy or an ironic way. Is there an equivalent to this structure in Japanese? Like is it possible to say "I made him make me drink the alcohol."? (I was able to get him to make me drink the alcohol) Thank you!February 8, 201620
