I was born in Israel and speak Hebrew as a native language. However, prior to my birth my parents lived in the U.S and therefore knew English and tought it to me from a young age. I have also lived in the U.S for two years and so both my English and my Hebrew are at a native speaker's level. my family has also lived in Japan for a year before I was born and, even though they no longer speak the language, they've piqued my interest in Japan and Japanese from a very young age. I reached a speaking level in which I can speak fairly fluently in Japanese and say pretty much what ever I want but it's still "rough around the edges", and so, in order to speak Japanese more like a native Japanese person I am searching for a partner to speak Japanese with. Of course I would be willing and happy to help that person with his English/Hebrew in exchange.

    Provide means supply, or give to you(kind of). closure means experiencing a feeling of end, of finality. When people go through a meaningfull exepirience, they often need a specific moment or event to mark it's end, the feeling you achive with such a thing is called closure. here the closure refers to the trial, so "does not provide the closure" means people do not feel the the incident is completely over becuase of the judges decition.

    First of all, remember that when learning anything you will run into walls which is why most people quit. Don't give up, it usually gets much better. Secondly, there are many ways to learn a language. Each suited to a different level and a different person. As far as speaking goes, the best is, well, speaking. Find a language partner or a foreigner to speak with. Another great way is trying to think in English and translating what people said to English in your mind. If you are not at a level where this is possible, watch news and television in english with subtitles and immedietly after watch the same thing without subtitles. As far as reading goes, it's just about finding your level and reading as much as you can, which is something any librarian can help you with. Reading is great even if it's not your goal because it helps your vocabulary and immerses you into the culture and language, which will give a tremendous boost to your speaking . I think you should only start working on your writing after you have confidence in your reading and speaking, as achiving personal and helpful feedback is difficult and the task itself is very difficult (so very much so that even many native speakers are lacking in this field).

    I have an English teacher that is British. However, all my teaachers prior to highschool were not native English speakers. I also learned Japanese so far from non-natives. As you've said, in the country where I live (Israel) and many other countries where people I know live many people have difficulties learning English at a practical level, despite learning for six years in the education system. If I may share a story, my great-great-greandfather was an English teacher in Germany(born and raised in Germany). Later in his life, he moved with his family to the United States and sought a teaching job. Not only was he unable to be an English teacher nor a teacher for anything els, he wasn't able to work in construction building because no one could understand him. Of course, globalization and better schools helped this problem tremendously, but it remains a fact that non-native speakers hold much less efficiency in teaching, be it at fluency, slang, or accents (which are somewhat importent for being understandable and uproachable to natives). However, since they are not natives and learned the same way as you they may be able to teach you in a way more comfretable for you. Because they learned throuhg books they may know better grammer and more about different dialects. All in all, though, I think your'e right and it's a major obstacle.

    Should women be allowed to breastfeed in public space?

    Breasts are just breasts. It's a body part which was designed to feed babies in nature(in nature means it's done in the nature and not naturally).You should stop seeing women's body only by(by is used before stating the person who does the action)  from a sexual perspective. Many people tend to stare at nursing babies in public space and think it's a disgusting and inappropriate behavior. If women are not allowed to breastfeed in public space, their rights to go out with their babies has will have been(future perfect tense- don't let it bother you just yet) taken away. So(the word so is used to connect parts of a sentence, and so it can't be used at the beginning of a sentence) Therefore it's a discrimination against mothers.

    location refers to(means) a place. For instance(like, for example), London, Vietnam, Japan, New-York, etc(and more). Locale refers to a person. For instance, if you go to Japan and meet someone from that place (Japanese), he would be a locale.

    1. The sentence is incorrect, to the point in which I cannot understand the meaning of the sentence. Please explain the sentence and I will send you a correct way of saying it. 2. Not only is "The" not necessary, it would be wrong to use it. The word "The" is used to show that you mean something specific(there's only one of it) and not an idea or definition (for instance if you point at an apple to a salesman and wish to know it's price you would say: "How much does the apple cost?" because you are asking about a specific apple. however, if you asked about the price of an apple in general you would say: "How much does an apple cost?" because it could be any apple) and so things that are already said to be specific by capitalizing their first letter (like places, names, nationalities, etc.) do not need to have a "the" before them and it is considered incorrect. "(The) Yongkang District is the hardest-hit area by the Tainan earthquake." This sentence is incorrect because the word "area" becomes what was done "by the Tainan earthquake". Therefore, instead of the area being hit by the earthquake like the sentence is meant to mean, it means the the hit was area by the earthquake.

    THE SUN

    I was studying in my room and when suddently I saw a beam of light pass through the window. That light came from the sun. It was travelling around our planet and then it emited its light to me. Then I thought on its important existance. That amazing star, which was emitting its light to me, has permited sustained(permited means allowed) all the life in on our beautifull planet since ancient times. How many planets as lucky as us are there in the space around us? It's amazing to think that maybe another planet with life has existed at the same time as us or before us...
