I guess learning languages has been my main hobby and goal for quite a while now, probably since I got into later elementary English education (since the first levels have very low focus in fluency). I am a computer scientist, which makes learning languages even more important and enjoyable for myself. When I was a child, Japanese animations were very popular in Brazil, and that's where my love for Japan was born. This just got more and more obvious since I came to Canada and could talk and hang out with native Japanese people (most of the friends I made here are Japanese, I barely spoke any Portuguese during my first years). Learning different languages bring people together, and with that in mind (and some other biases) I set this as one of my main objectives in life.

    Narrative of a listening material

    Here is a narrative of a program of business night. In this edition, Mariella Kinsky, an occupational psychologist who had just written a book on stress, was invited to talk on stress. The first question thrown out by the hostess was "Who is most likely to be affected by stress?". (optional; depends if exactly these words were said or not) Mariella said it was not easy to answer, because stress was quite a subjective thing. Generally, he suggested housewives suffer the most from a fatal combination of boredom, isolation and low (social) status. The people that statistically come came on top were (or change "were" to "are") routine office workers. Apart from that, stress was shown that it had its to have both positive and negative sides.

    I guess you could put the "its" after "both" if you want.

    Cheers.

    I don't even know if this is correct: おまえあなたはわいいです (Omae is a little bit aggressive, hahaha, so I'd advise using either anata, kimi or no subject at all, specially for this sentence ^.^).


    Hey there!

    Everyone starts somewhere, so as they say, baby steps. You registered here, so that's already a huge step, so don't lose your motivation. I'm also currently studying Japanese and I guess I don't know enough to teach anyone, but I can share some of what I know.

    Kanji are basically adopted Chinese characters. They can have either one syllable or many, depending on the specific character, context and accompanying kanji. They are often used along with katakana and hiragana to make the text look more cult or professional and improve readability, since something like 僕は大阪が大好き is much easier to separate in meaningful parts them わたしはおおさかがだいすき. Different kanji combinations form different words, usually based on the meaning of the parts that compose it. I could try explaining more about it, but I'd rather recommend you to find a nice, experienced language exchange partner.

    Anyway, good luck my friend! Hope you find a partner soon.

    Regards,


    Matheus
