    I am not sure I understand the question...

    Does "travel all over the world for free" mean:

    <ol><li>Travel to each country--even the dangerous ones or the ones I have no interest-- just one time? or...</li><li>Travel wherever I want, whenever I want, as many times as I want, for free for the rest of my life?</li></ol>

    If it is the first one, then I would prefer to know all of the languages of the world. I could use my language skills to make enough money and connections to travel wherever and whenever I want, and make friends wherever I choose to go.

    If it is the second one, then I would choose travel all over the world for free. I can choose to work on just the languages of the places that I am most interested in.

    The word "don't" simply states the negative without explaining a reason. It does not always mean deliberate. The word "can't" states the negative and the reason. As Teacher Hannah said, context of the situation is important. I

    (2) is more natural to me. You can delete "and I need to attend it", because the reason you can't make it to the gathering is already understood.

    I agree with you completely. The only time "wanna" should be in written form is to quote someone. This is not to be confused with "LOL" or other texting shortcuts, which I find acceptable (and often clever) albeit annoying at times. To me, something like "cu L8er" in a text message is cute, but reading "wanna" or "gonna" is the visual equivalent of listening to someone scratch a chalk board.

    depends, are you saying it or writing it? It is understood well for speaking. I believe a more grammatically correct way is "The library is a place to read--not to talk". Another way: "The library is a place for reading--not for talking".

    ただの空気が読めない人だと思います。あの人はランゲージエクスチェンジに対して経験が少ないので、どう風に会話を展開したらいいかわからない可能性が高いです。I think it's just a person who doesn't know how to pick up on the mood of a conversation. He probably doesn't have much experience doing language exchange, so he probably doesn't know how to properly carry on a conversation. If you feel uncomfortable about a question, you need directly say so because Americans need to be told directly. That is our culture! You can use this as an opportunity to teach him about Japanese culture! "I'm sorry, but we just met, and I feel like those questions are too personal." "In Japan, we don't ask those questions to someone we just met." If he understands, then great! If he gets upset, you can end the conversation at any time and block him.

    It's a bit difficult to answer this question without more context. Please provide an English dictionary definition of subject (there's many meanings) and then someone may be able to help you.

    I have used Kenkyusha and I thought it was good.  I never owned it, though, because I found that electronic dictionaries are so much easier to use.   BTW you can buy an electronic dictionary that has kenkyusha and many more dictionaries.  These dictionaries may cost $200-$300, but it's worth it if you are a serious student.
