    I 'd say the general use for the word "rule" is the dictionary definition: like a law or something you know you should/shouldn't do. The others are colloquial phrases. "Cardinal rule" means something more like, the MOST important 'rule'. So, for example, the cardinal rule when riding a bike is to wear a helmet. Something like that. While hard and fast rule is normally used in the negative, to say there are "no" hard and fast rules. Meaning the rules are not set in stone; you can pretty much do whatever you like. Your other uses were on point!

    "As well" is interchangeable with "too" or "also". E.g. I'm sad, but I'm angry too = I'm sad, but I'm angry as well. Can you also give me a size 10? = Can you give me a size 10 as well? (It's more normal to say as well at the end of the sentence) "As well as" is interchangeable with "and", "plus" or "in addition to". E.g. I'd like the soup and the wings = I'd like the soup as well as the wings. He plays the guitar and the drums = He plays the guitar as well as the drums. You could say, "He plays the guitar, and the drums as well."

    I'd definitely go with "falls". "My hair falls over my eyes" or "My fringe falls over my eyes".

    I wouldn't say "since" means the same as "as" and "because". "As" and "because" are basically exact in meaning. It's just that "as" is more formal. It makes the sentence sound more 'official'. But "since" has a slightly different meaning, even though I can't explain exactly WHAT. The best answer I can give is that you normally use "since" at the beginning of a sentence, and "as" or "because" in the middle of a sentence. So, it would be normal to say: "Since the parking is so expensive, I'll just stay home" while it would be weird (but not wrong) to say "I'll just stay home because the parking is so expensive".

    I'd say in common usage, "speak to him" is a bit more formal while "talk to him" is very informal.

    Hi Justin. I'm also learning Japanese. I'm at a very basic level, but what I lack in knowledge, I make up for in enthusiasm and discipline! ^_^ I'm also looking for consistent practicing motivation so feel free to message me!

    Calling all Japanese/ English speakers!

    Hi everyone! I've recently moved to Japan and I'm starting learning Japanese.

    I would love love love to find language partners I can exchange with - I can help you with English and you can help me with Japanese. It's a win-win! ^_^

    My main interests are everyday conversation, so nothing major...just everyday, simple conversation. I speak native level English so I can speak with you in English about whatever you want.

    My idea is that we could talk on Skype for one hour: half-hour (primarily) in English, then the other half-hour (primarily) in Japanese. I've found that this is a GREAT way to learn a language for BOTH parties - because you're always learning new stuff even when you're "teaching" :-) 

    So if you're a Japanese speaker looking to improve on natural English conversation, don't hesitate to send me a message! I'm looking forward to talking to you!!!

    Blessings

    Danielle
