I'm a native French speaker from Montréal, Quebec, Canada. I currently live in Beijing (where I am a translator) and I also speak English and Mandarin Chinese. I am learning Japanese on my own. I'm interested in practicing any of those languages!

    Also, for the last sentence that I wrote, should I have written: 外国人*に*いつも知らな*くて*美味しい日本料理を教えてください。 Which one is correct? If you could, in addition to answering, correct my questions, that would be awesome! どうもありがとう!

    My guess is that in this context it means "to beat somebody up".

    It doesn't make much sense to me either when taken out of context. Maybe here "resemble" does not refer to that person's physical appearance but rather to his behavior or his career, as in meaning: "He was born to follow in his father's footsteps"?

    网上交友难关 网上找语言交流伙伴是一件多么不易的事啊……

    本来就是很尴尬的!要铆足勇气对陌生人打招呼的话,无论在现实生活中或者在网上都很难。不过对于我这样的人就更难了!一是男性,二是已婚,这样想在网上交友的话,就更显得有恶意,貌似准备出轨。于是很多人(尤其是年轻的女学生)会选择保持距离。当然这并不出所料,我想她们这么做也是正常的反应。这个问题存在的根本原因还不仅是因为我的个人背景吧。网上网下确实都有很多把语言交流平台当成国际相亲场的人渣,其他人有意防御之而不愿意和陌生的我交流,是完全可以理解的。

    与此同时,我仍然期望找到可靠的语言交流伙伴,不论是男是女,来帮我提高我的各种语言水平,尤其是日语水平。因此我也不会轻易放弃,别人有权力拒绝,我亦有权利寻找!

    如果你的母语是日语或汉语的话,或者你在学习英语或法语的话,可以考虑与我交个朋友吧!本人来者不拒,有求必应!

    我最近在看一部叫做"致我们单纯的小美好”的电视剧。这个电视剧是我的台湾朋友给我介绍的。他说:"现在这个电视剧很有人气。” 我已经看到第三集了,但是我还是听不懂…… 即使我看中文字幕我也看不太懂主人公的话。 不过,因为配音和字幕都是汉语的,所以还是能起到学习作用。我还想继续看下一集!

    Chinese is not my first language but I feel confident enough to correct this for you. Hope it helps.

    汉语并不是我的母语但是我有信心我有能力帮你改改这篇作文。希望有帮助。

    The adverb comes from the adjective "apparent", which basically means something is "visible". So, for example, if somebody's desk is always messy at work, you could say: "He apparently doesn't mind the mess," because that's something you've ascertained with your own eyes. However, in spoken language, "apparently" also has the meaning of "I guess so," "It would seem that," etc. For example, if you and your friend have invited a third party out for a meal but that person turns out to be 1 hour late (!), you could say something like: "Well, apparently, he's not coming." In this case the word "apparently" refers not to something that you've physically seen but rather to something that you're pretty sure of. Additionally, the word "apparent" also has this meaning of "clear, understandable". For example, if you wanted to say "I quit my job for obvious reasons," you could also say "I quit my job for apparent reasons." Thus is makes sense that "apparently" becomes "I guess that" in spoken language; you could also understand it as "It would seem clear that," "It's obvious that," etc. Hopefully that helps a little, perhaps other more eloquent commenters will be able to offer you more!
