はじめまして。私の名前はアリステアです。アメリカ人です。日本語を勉強しています。だけど、まだ上手じゃありません。よろしくお願いします。 Hey there! My name's Alistair. I'm a native English speaker, born in raised in the United States of America. I've been studying Japanese for near two years now, but I don't feel like I've been making a lot of progress, which is probably my fault for not actively studying. I'm willing to try to speak to you in Japanese if I can, but mind you, a lot of it might not make sense. (Don't be afraid to correct me on anything though!) As for anyone trying to learn English, feel free send me a message if you need anything!

    One of the main causes of prejudice is ignorance. Often, people tend to have preconceived ideas about things they do not really know much about. For instance, people supporting a/the ban on immigration are often those who have never actually had any contact with people of other nations nor have any ideas of what are the reasons forcing immigrants to leave their countries and seek shelter in distant lands.


    1. Add a comma between "often" and "people."
    2. Probably rewrite since it sounds a bit off: "...about things they don't really know about." / "...about things they don't know much about."
    3. Add "a" or "the" between "supporting" and "ban."
    4. Again, probably rewrite: "...nor have any idea why immigrants are forced to leave their countries and seek shelter in distant lands."

    Keep up the good work!

    Second, apartment usually is small and ristricted and i have to live in population complex that is so noisy. I couldn't live there and there is no chance for relax and calm living

    We all like our home. It's a place where we live with our family and we rest there. Some people like to live in a modern apartment while some prefer living in a tradition house. If I had a choice, I would prefer to live in a tradition house for a few reasons. First, I would like to have a little garden house because I'm interesting in growing flowers, especially tulips. A traditional house is a golden opportunity for doing so. Second, apartments can be small and restricted. You also have to live in a complex that can be very noisy. I couldn't live there. There's no chance to relax and to live calmly.

    (If you have any questions, let me know.)

    "Everyone has seen what I have/I've seen." and "Everyone saw what I saw." are the most natural to me.

    Jewish - adjective: anything pertaining to Judaism or Jews; example: "One of my coworkers is Jewish," "A Jewish person" Jew - noun: for a person Judaism - noun: for the religion itself Hope this helps. (And I hope it's accurate in the eyes of someone who's actually Jewish.)

    Here's a way to write it that makes it a little more understandable: "That spark - within us all - of bliss, knowledge, and eternity exists." (Basically, the "within us all" is detached from what the spark is.) - The spark exists. - The spark is of bliss, knowledge, and eternity. - The spark is within us all. As for explaining the rest, I think you're suppose to decide what he means for yourself. That's kind of how philosophy works. However, I can give you the definitions for the words themselves... - Spark: "a trace of a specified quality or intense feeling" - Bliss: "perfect happiness; great joy" - Knowledge: "facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject" - Eternity: "infinite or unending time" [All taken from quick google searches.] Hope this helps!

    Today at school was a lot of fun. I talked to some friends and came home because I had no classes.
        (More natural, but could be straying away from what you meant: School was a lot of fun today. I talked to some of my friends and was able to come home because I didn't have class.)

    I do not know if I wrote this correctly. I hope you help me. If you need a little bit of help with Portuguese, I will be here.

    1. Her cooking was inedible. 2. This meat is edible. (Or, for a more natural way of saying it: "This meat tastes good," or "This meat isn't bad.") 3. He is the klutziest man I've ever seen. 4. Mutual understanding is important for a couple. 5. Sara and I are like-minded with traveling. (More natural: "We think similarly when it comes to travel.") Like-mindedness: "Like-mindedness is common in people who share the same interests." Bilateral: "Bilateral hearing is essential for sound location." (taken from Google) Hope this helps!
