I study English because I want to get a master in another country and it's a useful language to do that. I also want to learn Spanish one day because I like the language.

Hello, I am a native English speaker from the US and I would be happy to do a language exchange with you. I have an intermediate level of Spanish.

JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON Apr.21st

I would like someone to correct my diary entry( or to tell me the natural way of saying some things below. But I would be glad even if you JUST CORRECT my entry) I was wondering if you could do that for me, please?

JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON Jun.21st

Yesterday, I finally had my hair cut at the length I wanted. Generally, I go to the hair salon again after two months have passed since the last time I cut my hair. But this time, I waited three months because I have a tight schedule these days. So, having my hair cut is so comfortable* no matter how many times I have done it before. So, I'm not willing to pay lots of money, like 4000 yen or more, for having my hair cut. Speaking of lots of money, in Japan, there are very cheap hair salons called QB houses where you only pay 1000 yen. Recently, I heard it was also overseas in New York from a TV show. I was so surprised because QB houses are a local hair salon in Japan. It's amazing, you know?

* Do you mean uncomfortable?

Great job! I tried to make it sound a little more natural.

You Need a Guarantor.

When you rent an apartment in Japan, you need a guarantor who has to be close relative and who lives in Japan with enough money. When you are late with a rent, the guarantor has to pay money to the landlord or real estate company. So we make sure during screening whether the guarantor can really pay your rent or not. One real estate company allowed a friend or distant relative to become a guarantor before. However, it didn't work. When the contractor was late with the rent, the guarantor didn't pay the rent, making excuses or just ignoring us. So now, we admit only close relatives. The guarantor also has to live in Japan. If a guarantor lives abroad, it's hard for us to collect money. But we understand that it's difficult for some people to have a guarantor. For example foreigners don't have close relative living in Japan. Also, some seniors don't really have contact with relatives. Not only that, some people are not comfortable to ask a relative to become a guarantor. In that case, we suggest them to join a guarantee company. When you are late with a rent, they make a temporary advance for you. It costs fifty percent of monthly rent for first one year and after that you have to pay 10,000 yen as renewal money. Unfortunately, it's not refundable when you move out from your apartment.
