I'm Brad, an online English trainer. I majored in English back in college. In my spare time I read books, watch movies, play musical instruments like drums and piano. I believe the best way to learn any language is to have fun while doing it and using the language as much as you can. I've been studying Japanese and Korean for a couple of years, but my native language is English and Filipino. I grew up with two languages and I enjoy learning new ones.

レッスンお疲れ様でした。 過去形（した・しました）、現在形（する・します）の使い方が少し気になりましたが、言葉の選び方も発音も素晴らしく、わかりやすかったです。 ところどころつっかえていましたが、いろいろ経験すればきっと自然に話せると思います。 日本人を相手に自己紹介をする場合は、日本語で自己紹介をするのが良いですが、英語も理解できる人はいるので、困ったら英語を使った自己紹介でも大丈夫でしょう。

We introuduced ourselves. Mainly, we could talk in Japanese, but I want to improve my lesson so that we can speak more in Japanese.

    我住在马尼拉 - Wǒ zhù zài Mǎnílā - I live in Manila. Part of introducing myself is talking about where I live now. 我住在马尼拉 - Wǒ zhù zài Mǎnílā - I live in Manila. or should I say, 我现在住在马尼拉 - Wǒ xiànzài zhù zài Mǎnílā I now live in Manila. Whenever I talk to someone on Skype, I'm always not sure if I'm saying it right.

    菲律宾人 - Fēilǜbīn rén - I'm from the Philippines. Is this how to say my nationality? I've recently started studying how to introduce myself and my nationality, but the most common examples I get are: 美国人 Měiguǒrén "American" 我是中国人 Zhōngguórén "Chinese" 日本人 Rìběnrén "Japanese" 加拿大人 Jiā'nádàrén "Canadian" I'm from the Philippines and the closest translation I can find is 菲律宾人 - Fēilǜbīn rén 我是菲律宾人吗？- Wǒ shì fēilǜbīn rén ma?

    你来自哪里? (nǐ láizì nǎlǐ?) - Is this be best way to ask about a person's nationality? I'm trying to avoid being rude or racist when I speak to a native speaker. In English I would usually avoid asking "What's your nationality?" or "What country are you from?" I've learned: 你来自哪里? - nǐ láizì nǎlǐ ? - Where are you from? Are there other polite ways to ask about a person's nationality?

    I think the difficulty level stems from the distance of familiarity. A native English speaker would feel that languages that uses similar alphabet, grammar structure and origin would be easier. Whereas languages with a bigger difference to the native tongue would be completely alien, therefore the higher difficulty.
