My name is Kyle, and I live in Georgia in the Southeast region of the United States. I speak Spanish fairly fluently, having studied it through high school and some college. I dabbled in Portuguese, French, and Russian, but until I started learning Japanese, I was not 100% sure. After spending two weeks with Japanese, I knew this was the language I was going to speak fluently next. I am very good with English grammar, syntax, sentence structure, idiomatic expressions and regional vernacular. I can help you, and I would love for you to help me. I have been studying for about two weeks now, as I mentioned, and have learned ひらがな and かたかな (not sure if that is written like カタカナ?). I am excited to meet someone new and learn with you.

    Could you correct these sentences, please)

    1. You have a tight-knit ally. - Yes, I feel like my spouse is like a shield for me. He is very mindful.
    2. Interestingly, she learned to tolerate captivity. Moreover, she learned to enjoy that condition.
    3. I foretaste that you will be dissapointed because you live in vivid daydream.
    4. I assure you that it is habitable place. I heard any sounds and saw some footprints on the ground.
    5. The Eathquake broke all her possession. You never have any assurance if you are living in such region.
    6. Now it is a craze to wear a beard. Yes, fads come and go.
    7. You like to rejoice always, although I know that there is sadness innermost yourself.
    8. You are compassionate and selfless. In comparison, I am absolutely an insensitive and uncaring person.
    9. It is a very labor-intensive process to create something worthful.
    10. Ann's former work was outrageous. There was not any possibility to grow and improw her mastery. Her perseverance was completely futile.


    1. You have a tight-knit ally. - Yes, I feel like my spouse is my shield (you could say "is like a shield for me" but Americans tend to use metaphors more often than similes when speaking passionately, as in the case of a spouse.). He is very mindful.

    2. perfect

    3.I foretaste that you will be disappointed because you live in a vivid daydream. (No American would ever use the word foretaste. They would be confused if you used it. We would simply say, "I think that," or... if you were a fortune teller, "I foretell that..." Think would be the most common usage, however.)

    4. I assure you that it is a habitable place. I heard any sounds and saw some footprints on the ground.

    5. The earthquake broke all her possessions. You never have any assurances if you are living in such region.

    6. Now it is a craze to wear a beard. Yes, fads come and go.

    7. You always like to rejoice, although I know that there is an innermost sadness within you.

    8. You are compassionate and selfless. In comparison, I am an absolutely insensitive and uncaring person.

    9. It is a very labor-intensive process to create something worthwhile. (hyphenation is rarely needed grammatically, and is more often a stylistic interpretation. You should look up hyphenation rules to understand when and where you are edging out ambiguities, etc.)

    10. Ann's former work was outrageous. There was not any possibility to grow and improve her mastery. Her perseverance was completely futile. (An American would say, "Ann's previous employer was outrageous. There was no room to grow and improve her skills. Her perseverance was completely futile." However, your sentence was completely intelligible, but it would sound like you were a foreigner.)

    One Day

    Good Morning every one!

    Today is a holiday here in Marilia.
    Marilia is a small city in the interior state of São Paulo in Brazil where I live.

    Today is a beautiful autumn day, and I am relaxing, studying English (proper nouns are always capitalized), and listening to the music of my favorite rock band: Guns n Roses.

    (When you end a sentence and want to join an additional clause, you can use a comma and coordinating conjunction or avoid using a conjunction at the beginning of a sentence. Coordinating conjunctions are called FANBOY: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)


    And you? What do you think of my text?

    Peace,
    Nina


    Hey Nina! It sounds like you are having a wonderful day! Muito bom!

    going to X will

    There are two main ways amongst others to express future actions , "will" and "going to". As I understand it, the phrase "going to" is used in two cases.(We would normally use a semicolon here to start a list:)
    1) If I want to do something in the future, and I've decided to do it some time ago. For example "I'm going to change my job. I've made that decision yesterday." (Punctuation goes inside of quotation marks MOST of the time)
    2) If the thing that I'm talking about is a consequence of something else and there is an evidence for it now. For example, if I have eaten something bad I can say "I'm going to be sick".

    In other cases I should use the word "will", especially if it comes to my actual decision or my estimation or opinion I don't have any evidence for.

    Do I understand it well? Thanks for your answers as well as correction of my text :)

    Tuesday

    I work at a convenience store.
    Kamata works in this shop.
    He is my colleague.
    I like him.
    I can tell him everything.
    I think I'm glad I met him.
    I like Matumoto.
    She is a colleague too.
    I want to exchange Line with her. (In America, we typically speak in pluralities when you are exchanging. I know that Line is a very commonly used method for communicating, but I am not sure it would be correct to say "I want to exchange Lines with her." In America, we would say, "I want to exchange phone numbers with her," or, "I want to get her number.")
    I want to become better friends with her.
    I practiced dancing for an hour.
    I practice near the station everyday.
    There are lights and glass doors.
    It's very useful.

    Indulgent really just means that you are taking pleasure in something. Indulge yourself would be saying, take pleasure in this. This is traditionally what indulgent food is: food that will bring you pleasure. I would not say that it is synonymous with sweet, but sweets are often indulgences because they are "bad." Indulgent as a personality trait is someone who takes too easily to the pleasures of life very often. It usually has a pejorative connotation (bad association).
