Hi! I'm from Japan, currently living in the US. I speak Japanese fluently. I worked in Japan for seven years as a sales rep, so I can help if anyone wants any help with professional/business Japanese. Well, I'm happy to help with anyone looking for a Japanese language partner including friends who have just started studying Japanese! アメリカ在住の日本人です。東京の某企業で７年間営業をしていました。ビジネス日本語を学びたい方、喜んでお手伝いします。日本語を習い始めたばかりの方も大歓迎です。気兼ねなくメッセージをください。 I say I'm good at English, but not fluent. For now I'm looking for language partners to improve my speaking abilities. (I'm in the US but I'm in a situation that I can't use English very much)

    Difference between "subscribe with" and "subscribe to" Hello! Can someone tell me the difference between "subscribe with" and "subscribe to"? I believe you say, > Subscribe with Amazon > Subscribe to The New York Times But can it be the other way around? Like, > Subscribe to Amazon > Subscribe with The New York Times When is it followed by "with" and when is it "to"? Thank you for clicking and viewing my question. I appreciate any answers :)

    I say 皿洗い even when I'm washing dishes other other plates. Here are some example sentences. <皿洗い as a noun> お母さんに頼まれて皿洗いをする。 <お皿を洗う (obj + verb)> 夕飯後、お母さんはお皿を洗う。 *You can skip お for お皿を洗う and just say 皿を洗う. Just FYI

    I would say「彼(かれ)は 橋(はし)を 渡(わた)った」as well. In Japanese you always 渡(わた)る a bridge, no matter you walk or drive. If some says they 橋(はし)を渡(わた)った、you can tell that they went over the bridge, but you can't tell if they walked, drove or what. You can make it clear whether he WALKED or DROVE across the bridge by adding a verb. > He walked across the bridge.　彼(かれ)は 歩(ある)いて 橋(はし)を 渡(わた)った。 > He drove across the bridge.　彼(かれ)は 車(くるま)で 橋(はし)を 渡(わた)った。

    西洋の哲学の授業

    西洋の哲学の授業
    今日は西洋の哲学の授業があった。
    授業でデカルトやカントやいろいろのな哲学者の思想がを教わった。
    授業はゆっくり少しずつ難しいくになりました。考えて考えれば 分からない分からなくではないけど、
    ちょっと大変ですね。

    I Love Eating I love eating. I enjoy eating. It doesn't need to be super delicious. Eating is one of the moments that makes me happy. But sometimes, I feel like I'm enjoying the action of eating, not the food itself. For the record, I do enjoy the food. They are delicious. But I also find myself looking for something to eat when I have nothing to do. I feel a need for something to put in my mouth. That's why I end up having chewing gum all day, or opening and closing the cupboard every now and then, because I know I have crisps in there (which I shouldn't have bought in the first place). I enjoy eating, but I'm not an exercising person. I know I should, and I do want to get rid of some my fat on my belly, but I don't have the motivation for go running, do sit ups, or even do stretching. I like walking though. If it's less than half an hour to the shop, I would walk. I can walk around all day and I will enjoy it. As I said, I don't like exercising, but I can't stop moaning and groaning that I'm not fit. Every time I sigh when my jeans are tight, I tell myself that I either need to stop eating snacks, or start exercising. But again, I can't stop eating, because eating is such a joy, or exercise, because I'm lazy and I don't have self control. However, since I wrote this notebook, I'm going to make a promise, a promise to not eat snacks on weekdays. Let me know if you have any tips to distract yourself from eating. I am open to any advice.

    日本語の習得はむりだと思います。

    私はジョルです。二十歳とのカナダ人です。日本語はを二年間勉強しました。でも問題は。。。今私は日本に住んでいます。私は日本の酪農場にで 働きいていますけど、日本語力はが不足ですしています。毎日はすごく大変ですよ。仕事はもちょっと大変ですけど、仕事より日本語での会話はがとても大変です。ジャそれはつまり。。。新しい言語を習うのはむりですかなのでしょうか？それにと、私は日本に１年間住みます住んでいます。ぺらぺらまではとても遠いね。。。諦めるたのほうがいいのかな？言語のを習うことの感じはローラーコースターににているね？

    でも問題は：I couldn't understand what you are trying to say here. Is it something like "the problem is.... I live here, I work here, but my Japanese isn't good enough"? In that case, I would skip でも問題は and just say 今私は日本に〜. If you don't want to skip is and say something, I would say「しかし、今私は日本に住んでいて、日本の酪農場で働いていますけど〜」. If you are trying to say something like "I've been studying Japanese for two years, but THAT is the problem" (because you're now in Japan and working in Japan but you think your Japanese isn't good enough), I would say 日本語を二年間勉強しましたが、それが問題なのです.

    I understand that Japanese is a tough language to learn, but you're doing really well! I corrected bits and pieces but I understood what you are trying to say just reading what you wrote! Hang in there! But let me know if I can help in any way :)

    日本語の練習

    1)授業をさぼってはいけません。
    2)和菓子を作る材料が足りません。
    3)親の話を聞くのは当然だ。

    十月から日本の大学にで勉強します。

    英語のプログラムをに入ったので、日本語を勉強することはとても重要だと思います。

    買い物をするときとか、レストランで料理を選ぶときとか、日本語で話さなければいけません。

    まだ時間があるから、一歩一歩日本語を勉強します。

    日本に着いたときには、自分の日本語能力はがもう上手くなったていてほしい。
    (I wasn't quite sure what you wanted to say in this sentence. I assumed you wanted to say something like,
     "I want my Japanese to be good by the time I get there". Sorry if I'm wrong :(

    Here's the latter half
    -----
    80. 通
    子供とに「通り道路を渡るない渡ってはいけない」と言いました。I told the kid "don't cross the street". (How can i write this without using the quotation marks?)
    (通り is street, but when we say "don't cross the street" to kids, we say 道路 instead of 通り. (So it's "don't cross the road" in English)
     We say 通りを渡る when we are giving direction to others, like 通りを渡って右側にあるお店です/ It's the store across the street on the right)
    その通り！Exactly!

    It got too long so I divided into two.

    ----------

    Kanji excercise #8: 71-80

    71. 決
    まだ旅行に来ている参加するかどうかを もう決めましたか？Have you decided whether you're coming along for the trip yet?
    (I guess you can say 旅行に来る, and it will be 来る not 来ている, but 旅行に来る may sound like he/she is coming to your country to visit)
    決心を変えた気が変わった。I changed my mind.
    (You can say 考え直した to show that you actually thought about it and changed your mind, and not being moody)

    72. 子
    彼が私の息子です。He's my son.
    彼女は子供のままに頃のことを思い出した。She thought back to her childhood.

    73. 動
    皿を動き動かしました。I moved the plate.
    (This is a tough one.... When something moves, it's 動きました. For example, 皿が動きました/the plate moved.
     When someone moves something, it's 動かしました, like in your sentence. I hope this make sense....)
    健康のために運動します。I work out for my health.

    74. 京
    東京は日本で最も人口が多い都市です。Tokyo is the most populous city in Japan.
    夏の時に京都ではとても熱い暑いです。It's very hot in Kyoto in the summer. (Correct word order?)
    (熱い is for hot liquid, like water, milk, bath etc. For weather, it's 暑い)

    75. 全
    全然問題がない！It's not a problem at all!
    安全運転してくださいでお願いします。Please drive carefully.
    (運転する is a verb, however you can't say 安全運転する. I'm sorry I can't explain why. You don't say 安全に運転する either.
     Maybe, grammatically you can say 安全に運転する, but I've never read/heard anyone say like that.)

    76. 目
    目を開けて。Open your eyes.
    こちらにご注目ください。Please turn your attention this way.

    77. 表
    その表テーブルの表面がは滑らかなです。The surface of that table is smooth.
    (表 has two meanings, surface and table. However, "table" for 表 is "graphs, figures, charts" table, not the furniture table.
     The furniture table is テーブル in Japanese)
    何て曖昧な表現ですね。What an ambiguous expression.

    78. 戦
    私は戦争に反対です。I'm against war.
    彼等は最後にまで戦いました。They fought until the end.

    79. 経
    神経科学はとても面白い。Neurology is very interesting.
    時間が早く経っています経ちます。Times passes quickly.
