Weather forecast
おはようございます。
ライです。
シアトルのてんきのよほうがはじまります。[Memo: You can also say, てんきよほう, omitting の, which would be more natural and common. You can also say, シアトルのてんきよほうをおつたえします。, which is a common way of reporting a weather forecast.]
きょうはあめがふっています。[Memo: This would sound most natural. If you want to use のてんき, you can say, きょうのてんきはあめです。]
かさをわすれないでください。[Memo: かさをわすれないで。is not wrong. It just sounds casual. I would add ください here because other sentences are all in polite form.]
よるははれるでしょう。[Memo: Using あと is not wrong, but it would sound more natural without it.]
きおんはかしじゅうにどです。[Memo: おんど is not wrong, but we normally use きおん in weather forecasts. かし is normally put before the degree.]
きたのほうはゆきがつもっています。[Memo: Almost! You can also use ほくぶ (the northern part) instead of きたのほう.]
かぜがつよくて、とてもさむいです。
きおんはかしマイナスじゅうどです。
こんばん、このへんのきおんがさがるでしょう。[Memo: You can also use このあたり (around this area) instead of このへん.
コートをきてください。[Memo: You can also say, コートがひつよう (necessary) です。]
あしたは ゆきがやんで、いい天気でしょう。[Memo: I would put the particle は, which could be a "contrastive wa."]=====
よくかけています！(Well written!)
0 votedApril 10, 20171...たら
友達がたくさん出来たら、嬉しいです。[Memo: There's nothing wrong with your sentence, but I would personally use hiragana for 出来, as in できたら. I normally use kanji only when it's used as a noun, as in 出来事（できごと）, or in the "出来 + Verb" pattern, as in 出来上がる. Some people won't care about this usage, but others will.]
成績がよかったら、嬉しいです。
日本に行けたら、嬉しいです。
学校が休みだったら、嬉しいです。
宿題がなかったら、嬉しいです。
プレゼントを貰ったら、嬉しいです。
物価が安かったら、嬉しいです。
良い天気だったら、嬉しいです。
弁護士になったら、嬉しいです。[Memo: Please note that this statement alone, without any context, may sound like you're talking about someone else, not yourself. If you're talking about yourself and want to express your wish, you could say, 弁護士になれたら、嬉しいです。, which literally means "I would be happy if I could become a lawyer."]
先生がやさしかったら、嬉しいです。=======
Maybe you're working on the ～たら section in GENKI 2? よく書けています！

1.Social Menopause (noun)・ソーシャル閉経（名詞）
Definition:A time in a woman's life when she doesn't want to stay out late (such as going to parties). ・
意味：女性が、遅くまで遊びたくなくなる時期（パーティへ行かなくなるなど）。[Memo: もう can be omitted. As for パーティ, パーティー may be more common. パーティへ行かなくなるなど is not the exact translation, but it makes more sense if you translate it this way. The period at the end of the sentence is a preference.]
Example: "Late-twenties social menopause opens up space for new ventures."
例文：２０代半後のソーシャル閉経は、新たな可能性の扉を開きます。[Memo: 新しいベンチャーを可能にします。may sound like you're talking about starting one's own business. In the online Cambridge Dictionary, the sentence is followed by "Maybe we’ll finally learn to cook. Maybe we’ll actually start saving." So I assume the new ventures are not specific to starting one's own business. In that case, I would translate this part as 新たな可能性の扉を開きます。, which literally means "open up the door of new possibilities."]
2. Thrisis (Thirty + Crisis) (noun)・ テュライセス（３０＋クライシス）（名詞）[Memo: I can't think of the right translation of this term right off the bat. Maybe we have to use katakana and translate it as a loanword as you just did. In that case, we could also use the katakana ス instead of テュ, as in スライシス, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Maybe I need to hear the actual pronunciation of it.]
Definition: Feeling of unhappiness, worry and disappointment that some people have around the age of 30.
意味：３０歳前後の人が感じることがある、不幸、悩み、失望などの感情。[Memo: The meaning of "some" in English is expressed with ことがある in Japanese. 前後 is "around." More literally, you could translate it as 一部の３０歳前後の人が持つ、不幸、悩み、失望などの感情。]
Example: She's having a thrisis!
例文：彼女はテュライセスを感じています！[Memo: You may also translate it as 彼女にはテュライセスがあります！. Please note that テュライセス is not a common word here in Japan, so nobody would be able to understand the meaning of this sentence... ]
3. Bremoaner (Brexit + Moaner) (noun) ・ブリモーナ（ブリグジット＋うめく人）（名詞）[Memo: I would personally translate the term as ブレモーナ using レ instead of リ.]
Someone who complains about Britain's exit from the European Union.
イギリスのEU離脱に不満を言う人。[Memo: ブリグジット, or more commonly ブレグジット , is also correct, but the original sentence does not use the term "Brexit." So イギリスのEU離脱 or イギリスのEUからの離脱 would be a more accurate translation.]
Example: There are many bremoaners online.
例文：ネット上にはブリモーナが大勢います。[Memo: 沢山 is not wrong, but I would personally use 大勢（おおぜい）here.]
4. Cruffin (Croissant + Muffin) (noun) ・クロフィン（クロワッサン＋マフィン）（名詞）
Definition: A combination between a croissant and a muffin.
意味：クロワッサンとマフィンの組み合わせ。
Example: I tried making cruffins today!
例文：今日、クロフィンを作ってみました！[Memo: We normally use hiragana for "try" (or at least in technical writing).]

Thank you for the post! I just learned some new words. :)
0 votedMarch 28, 20172- All About Particles (助詞について) I borrowed a book called "All About Particles" by Naoko Chino from the library in order to learn about Japanese particles and be a good language partner. I can understand and use these particles naturally, but I find it pretty hard to explain their uses in English properly. Gee... I do respect teachers of Japanese and people who are trying to learn or have learned Japanese as a foreign language. *I would greatly appreciate it if you could point out any grammatical errors or unnatural parts you may find in this entry.March 27, 201770
