I am looking for Japanese conversational partners so I can become more comfortable in normal everyday conversation.In exchange I can have conversations in English I am from the state of Illinois which is in the midwest of America. Chicago is one of the biggest cities here in the state and I live about 3 hours south of Chicago. I have been wanting to live in Japan and I am working very hard to relocate there. I have opened a new business. A micro-noodle factory making ramen, udon and soba noodles and gyoza skins. Also I will making other products like Tare, flavored oils & soups for easy preparation for customers. All these items are homemade and use traditional methods. I would be very grateful and open to making new friends and hope that italki can make that possible. I have also doubled my efforts this year to make speaking Japanese a top priority. Hope to hear from you soon and look forward to our new friendship. Sean

    Thank you Tony for your comment. I am just starting and hope that I will understand Japanese even more by doing so. I have heard of stories of my grandparents teaching themselves to read and write by using the Bible, so I thought that I would try to do this with learning Japanese. I think that you should give it a try and take line by line and use it help your studying. The Japanese sentence above has 5 Kanji that range from N5-N1 level words. This is helping me to read and write as well as memorizing vocabulary. I know you can do it! I believe in you! Give it a try! Thank you again for your kind words and encouragement.

    I am starting a new way of studying Japanese by using a Japanese- English Bilingual Bible. I think that this will help greatly. I started with the first verse and already have a question. My question is: When hiragana is used verses Kanji is there a different contextual meaning being implied? In the example below why is はじめに used instead of 初めに? Would the context be different if the Kanji was used here? Example: はじめに神が天と地を創造された。

    Written Exercise 273 – VISITING A PARK It was clear today. A friend of mine and I visited a park where I have not been back to for a long time. It's located outside of the city. We took a bus, on which I was able to snap some photos. You can see the pictures from 1 to 6. The view outside the bus was spectacular. That’s because I took them when we were driving on the overpass. Another passenger was taking pictures too. Can you spot that? The pictures from 7 to 9 were taken in the park. In the 7th picture, you can see some boats docked on the man-made lake, on which the sky reflected. Although it was hot, there were still some families enjoying themselves on the lake. We left for home when it was sunset. Due to going outside all day, I didn't follow today's goals that I set for September, so I have to do the double work tomorrow.

    今日は日記をつけて日本語を上達させ、新しいビジネスについて話します。 私の新しいビジネスは「マイクロヌードルファクトリー」です。 社名は「うさぎめん」。 ラーメンやぎょうざなどの自家製麺や生地を作っています。 私はこれまで多くの問題を抱えてきました。 将来的には、この問題についてここで話すことができるかもしれません。 今日は新しいまな板を待っています。 ラーメン、つけ麺、油そばのトッピングを収納する冷蔵ユニットの上に使用されます。 私はそれを「トッピングバー」と呼んでいます。 製麺機も出荷待ちです。 機械は日本製です。 機械が日本からアメリカに出荷されるのを待っています。 政府からの遅れ（COVID-19に関連）により、しばらくの間、マシンを受け取ることができない場合があります。 たぶん、私が機械を受け取ることができる前に、10または14週間。

    The Japanese mushrooms

    1.The Japanese mushrooms” Mukitake” was sent me from my uncle. I looking forward to it every year.This year’s mushrooms also looks dericious.

    2. My uncle lives in north area of Japan that we call “ Touhoku”. The weather has been unusual autumn of this year. So I heard that this year’s mushroom didn’t get so much. The weather this autumn has been unusual so this year’s mushroom yield was low.

    or 

    My uncle told me that there wasn’t many mushrooms to pick this year because of the unusual autumn weather.
    3.I’m thinking how to cook the precious mushrooms. It is good to eat in the soup, setae and pickled dish.I’m excited at the thinking of it.

    1.日本のきのこ「ムキタケ」がおじさんから送られてきました。私はそれを毎日楽しみにしています。今年のきのこも美味しそうです。

    2.私のおじさんは「東北」と呼ばれる日本の北部に住んでいます。今年の秋はずっと天候不順でした。だから今年のきのこはそんなにたくさん取れなかったと聞きました。

    3.私はその貴重なきのこをどう料理するか考えています。それはスープ、ソテー、酢の物にしても美味しいのです。それを考えているとワクワクします。

    Hello Souad, I have a 12 year old daughter that is soon going to start French lessons on italki. I was wondering if you were interested and perhaps becoming a language partner with her. In return we can offer help with English, we are native English speakers. Thank you and Happy New Year!
