I've been leisurely studying Japanese since I was in high school, so even though I've been studying for a while, I don't know much. I'm more familiar with the sound of the language and can definitely say and somewhat recognize beginners level speech. My listening is better than my speaking and I can understand more than I can say. I've always known I wanted to speak Japanese, but I never would have guessed that I would be trying to learn it for work in the future. This is why I'm hoping I can make some great progress here on iTalki!

    English and Japanese Skype Group

    Hi all! 

    My friend and I are thinking about creating a Skype group so English and Japanese Speakers can come together and message each other and talk! I know at some point we want to do a group call when time permits, but until then, we can all just chat and practice English and Japanese!

    So if you are interested, please message me and I'll add you to the group if you have Skype, or send you a link to the group chat if you don't! :)

    Can you translate what you are trying to say? I think that would help. I think you have some spelling errors.

    "I hope you enjoy the play" sounds more natural. They both mean the same thing, but the first one is more natural. In English (American English at least), we use "I hope" a lot when we want something to go a certain way but there is a possibility that that 'something' my not happen. For example, if you want to hang out with friends this weekend, but you are uncertain on whether or not you will be able to hang out with them, you may say to someone "I hope I can hang out with my friends this weekend." If you say "I wish you enjoy the play", you would be understood, but it sounds unnatural. Does that make sense?

    What are the uses for these words/particles in Japanese? I've heard なんか a lot in conversation, but don't know what it means. Is it like the word "like" in English? ～ね and ～よ Also confuse me in their uses. I especially hear ～ね used a lot, but some sentences don't seem to be seeking agreement like ちょっとまってね. I'm probably interpreting that wrong though. Can someone explain one or more of these for me with examples?

    Speak with native speakers (through calling or texting/messaging). Doing this forces you to look up words and sentence patterns to respond to the native speakers. It helps you learn vocabulary and common phrases/words in English quicker. It helped me learn Japanese quicker when I was only a beginner.

    The first one sounds a little unnatural. I'd say "I mean, I'm a little short on cash." The second one sounds natural. However, I'd say "With what money?" Both sentences above imply that you cannot buy anything because you don't have a lot of money. You don't need to say "to buy something" or "to get that".

    They are the same. However, the first one, "There are two ways how to say it." sounds very odd to me. I would say "There are two ways to say it." or "There are two ways you can say it." This one: "There are two ways of saying it." is also okay to say as well, but the first one sounds unnatural. I hope this helps!
