はじめまして！ I'm from London, United Kingdom and I'm learning Japanese. I work as a digital designer, making cool stuff. I love to watch anime, listen to Japanese music, eat Japanese food and I also collect BJD's. I'm looking for someone who I can practice my Japanese with and I will in turn teach a bit of English ^^

    1 have an innate passion for cinema Innate is incorrect as it refers to something you are born with. "I have the innate ability of playing music by ear". You would in this case say "I have a passion for watching films" 2 the last two summers i have been working as a ticket clerk for August live theatre Correct. You need to capitalise August Live Theatre as it's a place name. 3 riding through (= travelling) the castle gates is like make a time journey.. although not in an Outlander style ( the movie) "riding through the castle gates is like travelling back in time" The mention of Outlander is unnecessary unless you were already talking about Outlander just before this sentence" 4 for me it was the most memorable event in my last visit days ago. This is incorrect but needs more context to correct it. 5 walk among the stalls in the fair "Walk among the stalls at the fair"

    Yes they have the same meaning. However, depending on the sentence, using "Deal with" can be considered a bit forceful or aggressive. Primarily as it means an action will be taken where as the other three are passive.

    Following on from Tysen's explanation it can also mean overusing or abusing something to the extent of losing it. Can be used for an object or a person. An example would be "I took my friend for granted. She was so kind to me but I ignored her. Now she's friends with other people and not me"

    friend = International but never spoken when referring to the person. For Example "Thanks my friend" is something you wouldn't say. mate = UK and Australian (but very regional specific, not everyone uses this and definitely not in a formal/business environment) buddy =American pal = American

    "What are you up to" - This refers to what the person is currently doing. An answer to this would be "I am writing on Italki" "How have you been" - this phrase is referring to the past and tends to be focussed on the general health and state of the persons life. An answer to this would be "I have been well. I've taken up going to the gym so I am fitter than ever"

    Colloquial it is acceptable. However you would say " Have you figured out what it says?"
