I'm a programmer, a computer software engineer in Japan. I spend all time to study English except for work. There are a lot of so interesting things in English in the net. How exciting they are! Of cource, italki is one of them, a extremely awesome tool. Thesedays, I prefer to read the best seller English books like 'Tuesday with Morrie', 'Holes', etc... That's my pleasure. Feel free to ask me about Japanese. And please let me know how to use English. Communicate and help each other. Thanks!

    「さきっぽ」＝先端です。指の飛び出ている部分、えんぴつのとがっている部分のように、モノのうちで飛び出ているところを指します。 （えんぴつイメージ） <----- ※「さきっぽ」は、上のイメージの「<」の部分ですね 「はしっこ」＝端の方です。部屋の外側、棒の両端など、モノのうちでどちらかの方向に寄った部分をいいます。 （部屋のイメージ） ----------------------------- |○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○| |○　　　　　　　　○| |○　　　　　　　　○| |○　　　　　　　　○| |○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○| ----------------------------- （棒のイメージ） ○================○ ※「はしっこ」は上のイメージの、「○」の部分です ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 「指の先っぽ」か「指の端っこ」の両方とも使えますが、 「指のさきっぽ」のほうが一般的ですね。 「端っこ」だと、「指の先」なのか「指の奥」なのか 　があいまいなので、 ぱっと聞いたときにわかりづらいです。でも通じるとは思います。

    「よく言うよ」は、「よくもそんな事が言えるな」という意味です。 誰かの発言にあきれたときや、その人の発言を馬鹿にするときに使われます。 言い方によって印象が変わるので、使うときは要注意です。 フランス語でなんというかはちょっとわかりませんが、英語では 「Look who's talking!」「Are you kidding?」あたりが近いと思います。 「トチリ」のほうはあまり聞いたことがないのでわかりませんが、 おそらく「失敗すること」の意味だと思います。 「トチリ」が出てきた文章を全文載せていただければ、ただしいニュアンスが答えられると思います。

    1-夢はかなう is fine. it is more popular to say it in hiragana かなう than 適う or 叶う. you can also say 夢は実現する. it sounds more polite and less casual.

    今日の晩ごはん

    今日、友達<strike>に</strike>を<strike>一緒に</strike>晩御飯<strike>を</strike>に誘いました。友達は「外食はいやです、自分で作りましょう！」と言<strike>われ</strike>いました。それで、いろいろな食材を買いました、これから作ります。

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    「一緒に」「誘う」とはあまり言わないです。
    「誘う」動作を、「一緒に」するわけないからです。

    「一緒に」「外食に行く」のように、「二人」でできることであれば「一緒に」を使えます。

    ↓使い方はこんなかんじです。
    「友達と一緒に遊びに行く」
    「友達を「一緒に晩御飯どう？」と誘いました」

    Studying hard makes no good...in japan i've studied english for about ... 16 years. it sounds so long. you must think i am so-oooo good at english, like a native speaker! but i'm not. actually. it's terrible... we study english 6 - 10 years in japan, from junior high school to college. it's surprising that most of us can't speak english....isn't it? even we'd been studying hard. what a waste time and enegy!! i don't know why... but this has been really happening in Japan. these days i've been working so hard. much harder than i did....to get out of here! these no-good-waste-time-cycle. i'd tell my friends the way i did....how i learned. better way to learn english. anyone know how to get out of here? please tell me. it helps me so much.

    here's a translation. i hope this helps u and the nice way to reply this... well, it depends. i guess 'tanishimi ni shitemasu' is the nice way to reply if you hope to meet her (or him?). ('tanishimi ni shitemasu' means looking forward to something.) -------------------------------------------------------------- i don't know why^^ maybe.... that's unmemorable thing for me>_<

    wow, u are a college student... that's great.....>_ come to Japan after u graduated from college^^ i'll show u around tokyo^^ (actually, i don't know so much places, though >_<) i'm looking forward to meeting u in Japan ^^

    hi, AJ. nice to meet u 謝る means to say 'sorry' or to apologize to someone and ask someone to be forgiven.. if u make someone angry, that's a good thing to do. and... 誤る is quite different from 謝る. it means to make a mistake. so if u make a 誤り, you should 謝る.

    こんにちは。 Nice to meet you, Richard. I'm on mostly all the time to study English, too. But I'm no good in English... I guess, I have something common with you. I'm a bad English speaker but I can help you somehow, I think. That's no wonder. I'm a Japanese. よろしく！
