Hello! My name is Shota and I'm from Japan. I'd like to make many friends all over the world and learn the languages. I am currently working on English and little bit of Spanish. I am willing to do language exchange and please feel free to message me!

    What I have noticed lately I've been on italki for few days now, but I've noticed that there is a tendency where female users are more active than male users. I've sent friend requests and messages regardless of gender or age, but it is almost always female users that actually accept the request or message me back. Again, I've only been on italki for few days, so I don't know what the actual statistic is, but that is just what I have noticed so far. I have taken a sociology class recently and I find this kind of stuff really interesting haha. Have you guys noticed anything like that?

    I was just there like 2 weeks ago!! I didn't buy one though... but from what I've heard it is mostly for illnesses such as headache. They keep the bad spirits away. Also, as some people have explained already they nowadays have 願かけ as well.

    What I am Lacking I just got back from my internship in Kobe. A part of my job was being a translator for college professors and scholars and that was a fantastic experience. I received lots of compliments on my fluency in English and how well my works were done. However, I have noticed that I do not know many academic words and "big" words in general. I was really disappointed. I have been focusing on speaking so much that I have learned to replace "big" words with simpler words which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I really want to learn advanced terms so that I can translate more precisely. I have come a long way, but I still have a long way to go. So, Here I am!

    Hello Kathy! 

    I guess it depends on what you like to listen to, but in terms of language learning, I would suggest you to listen to something very slow and simple to start with. That being said, my personal recommendations are: Masaharu Fukuyama, Ken Hirai, Utada Hikaru, Begin, Kazumasa Oda, Kobukuro, Naotaro Moriyama... etc. Oh also, Monkey Majik is a very interesting band as well. It's singers are Canadians, but they sing in Japanese (and English sometimes.) You should check them out too. 

    Good luck!

    PS: I really don't recommend you to listen to girls/boys bands for language learning sake (even though they are popular right now) because they can be really slangy and often time their grammar is.... little questionable that I even puzzled by them sometimes haha.

    Is it weird to say "Good to see you" in video chat? Because in a video chat, we aren't technically "meeting" each other.... I mean I don't really care about technicality, but I just wanna know if it sounds weird to say good to see you or something like that in a video chat!
