Hello! I'm a third year engineering student in university. I'm looking to strike up some brief conversations over Skype and see where they go. Ideally, it'd be nice to get a consistent partner or two to meet once weekly or so.

Dacodaさん！今日は、ありがとうございました！素敵なコメントをありがとうございます！とてもうれしいです！Dakodaさんの素晴らしいところは、いつも妥協をしないで、どんどん日本人が使う言葉を探しているところと、ロールプレイ中にとてもクリエイティブ(creative)なところです！ほとんどの生徒は、簡単な文で終わらせてしまい、あまり上達することができていません。。Dacodaさんはこれからも常に新しい言葉を勉強して、授業中に練習して、その後、復習することを繰り返していけば、絶対にじょうずになります！頑張りましょう、Dacodaさん！

    My English study process—Grammar

    Today I’m studying English grammar . B <font color="red">, but</font><sup>1</sup> it is very difficult for me. In fact, since<sup>2</sup> I was very weak English grammar and syntax, so, I don't English study haven't studied English<sup>3</sup> hard since I was <font color="red">a</font> junior high school student.

    And when I was junior high school student, I can't <font color="red">couldn’t</font> stand English class. B, <font color="red">b</font>ecause I was very sloth lazy. My mother says <font color="red">said</font><sup>4</sup>, “You should study hard more!!” … But I don't hear about it <font color="red">didn’t listen</font><sup>5</sup>.

    In <font color="red">At</font> this stage, I’m very penitent<sup>6</sup>. But I think I must study English hard . B <font color="red">, b</font>ecause I want to communicate in English.

    <sup>1</sup> 英語の文は普通、“and” “but” “or”などで始まらないから、一応これにした

    <sup>2</sup> or because. この場合では、「since/because… (理由), (その結 果)」と言うconstructionが「(理由), so (その結果)」より自然だと思います

    <sup>3</sup> それとも hadn't studied English. ニュアンスがちょっと違います けど。　最初の文は「Today I studied English for the first time in a while」みたいなのだったら I hadn’t studied のほうが正しいと思いますが、 この場合では I haven’t studied がいい。

    <sup>4</sup> たぶん used to say のほうが自然だと思います。「used to say」 は「いつもうこう言っていた」と言う意味を指します。

    <sup>5</sup> Tenses in English are hard. I have no idea how to explain them. orz さすが英語の文法難しいですね。

    <sup>6</sup> 優れた言葉遣いですよね！「At this stage」もです。「I’m very penitent」の代わりに「I regret it a lot」と言うのも悪くないと思います。

    Yes! English grammar is very hard, indeed! I think you're doing a pretty good job, though, my friend :)

    The more you practice the better you get, without a doubt. I wish you the best of luck.

    On the month of march → <font color="red">In March</font> happened some<sup>1</sup> <font color="red">a</font> great sport event happened on<sup>2</sup> in the USA. I<font color="red">’ll</font> talk about the tournament— is <font color="red">it’s</font> a basketball championship between different university ies teams from <font color="red">the</font> USA. During For three weeks, sixty two teams play to win this championship.

    Footnotes

    <sup>1</sup> En inglés, el sujeto de la oración debe anteceder el verbo. Mira que happen es el verbo del great sporting event. Se podría decir a great sporting event happened in the USA sin problemas, pero algo mas natural en inglés sería there was a great sporting event.

    <sup>2</sup> Para los países u otras regiónes/ciudades, se usa la preposición in. Por ejemplo— in Quebec, in Guadalajara, in Spain, in Catalonia.

    Yeah, man! March Madness is a fun time for basketball fans.  :)

    Do you like basketball a lot, too?

    Good morning everyone,

    I woke up early today because I had to do a lot of things.

    Before going to work, I walked out my dog. We met many dog<font color="red">s</font> with owners just<sup>1</sup> like every morning.

    I went to work at 9, now I am writing in this forum but I would to do<sup>2</sup> a lot of things. It will be a busy day for me.

    Thanks

    <sup>1</sup> I think that adding this word makes the sentence sound much more natural. You could also say something like as we do every morning, though that sounds a little high-brow.

    <sup>2</sup> I’m not sure what you mean here. Perhaps I have to do do a lot of things. Se lo scrivi nell’italiano, forse ti posso aiutare più.

    Two years ago, I started to go for a run. It was the first time I had ever run in the street, because before that I used to practise other sports like football, basketball, cycling or hiking, but I had never practised running. In fact, I used to run very quick, but only when I practised some sport.

    Well, I started running for about 25 minutes, without a watch, because the most important thing was to get fit, so I did not mind the time, the records. The most important thing was to get fit and feel very good with myself.

    In the beginning, I used to have some pains in my body because my body was not used to running. But little by little I continued running more and more until I was able to run for one hour.

    Later, I started to run while looking at the kilometres. I got to run 8 kilometres, 9 kilometres, 11 kilometres… For that reason, I decided to sign up for a race. It was a fantastic experience and a big goal for me because I had to run 10 kilometres! I took 48 minutes!!! So, I was super-excited and I began to win self-confidence.

    After that, I ran several other popular races, three half-marathons and in 2014 I ran my first marathon in Seville, Spain. My record was 3 hours and 51 minutes. I finished very happy, but the best was my satisfaction because when you see yourself powerful and strong, you can do anything.

    Nowadays, I have started to live new experiences about rain. I run a lot of days in the rain. It´s an amazing experience because your compromise is higher and you can feel how your body and your mind are free and I consider it an incredible emotion inside you!

    I really recommend you to run in the rain! What do you think about that?
