Hi Noria San, thank you for booking a lesson with me. Your speaking skills is great but you need a little practice for your reading. It has been a very wonderful and lively lesson knowing some Canadian slangs. I hope you learn something new. I'm looking forward for our future lessons.

    Theres no particular answer. But your expression is slightly awkward. If it is me, I would write it like below. はじめまして。私はノースウエスタン大学二年生のサブリナウィリアムスと申します。 大学では日本語の勉強をしております。私は日本料理が大好きでまた深い関心もあるため、是非Zen Taroで仕事が出来たらと思っております。精一杯頑張りますのでよろしくお願い致します。 But in this sentence, i dont see the reason why you wanna work for this specific restaurant. There are a lot of Japanese restaurant for which you can apply. So I thought if you specify more about the reson why you would like to work for this restaurant, the sentense would sound better.

    here are things I noticed. Other thins are basically fine! (written on a cellphone. Sp if there are some typos, please forgive me) 3 shinrinyoku: the description is correct. But I dont understand why you put - between shinrin and yoku. its one word. 4 taundoku: your description is correct. Tsundoku originally means leave it as a pile for anything. But since doku means read in Japanese, a new word "tsundoku" is made. 5 ukiyo: the description is totally wrong. it means ordinary social but this word is from old Japanese language. please refer the information such as http://gogen-allguide.com/u/ukiyo.html 7 ikigai: yes it means the reason for being but I couldnt understand the thing thats gets you up in the morning. like..coffee??? 8 yugen: yugen means limitation or a limit. if you are trying to say infinity it would be mugen. 12 bimyiu: slightly not good rather than not bad.

    Good question. Because I am a native Japanese but I have never thought about it. Although there would be some exceptions; in general, this is a Japanese expression to describe someone else. If I translate it directly into English, it is gonna be like this. 私、たけしさんの事が好き = I like about Takeshi-san. 私は、あなたの事が好き = I like (all) about you. Other examples for "~の事が(を、は) あなたの事を教えて = tell me about yourself. 私の事は知らないでいい = you don't need to know about me. You can say "あなたが好き" or "あなたの事が好き." They both means basically the same, even though like I explained that they mean "like" and "like about." We, the Japanese, use them as more or less as the same expression. However, if you use ~の事が, the expression sounds more like talking about specifically humanbeings. Because we dont say, 私は犬の事が好きです(I like about dogs) or  私はスイカの事が好きです(I like about water melon). "~が好きです" is more expression for general things and human, and "~の事が好きです" is tend to be used more specifically for humanbeings.

    さえ means *even*. I will provide you with some example sentences leveraging “さえ” Ex1: お酒に酔いすぎて真っ直ぐに[さえ]あるけない。 Because I am drunk too much I cannot [even] walk properly. Ex2: 今日は気分が良く、空を飛ぶこと[さえ]出来るような気がする。 Today, I feel so good that I feel like I can [even] fly. Usually さえ and すら are interchangeable. So you can use the same kind of sentence with すら like Ex3. Also you can put すら as even for EX1 and Ex2 as well. They make pretty much the same meaning. Ex3: 2日間なにも食べていなかったので、昨日の残飯で[すら/さえ]おいしく感じる。 [Even] the leftover from yesterday tastes good since I have never eaten anything for 2 days. Hope this helps!

    原稿用紙とは一般的に400字分の文字が書けるようになっています。 400字である事から、文字を数える事が楽なので、小学校などでは「原稿用紙2枚で作文をする」などというように宿題が出たりします。 小学校でなくても、プロフェッショナルな世界でも、文字が数えやすい(視覚的に書いた量がわかりやすい)という事からも、作家などの方は原稿用紙を使いますが、現在はほとんどパソコンなどに置き換わってきています。昔はパソコン使わなかったので、文章を書くときは原稿用紙があると便利だったのです。この風習からも、今でも原稿用紙を使う人は沢山いるようですね。

    「イケる」: 特定の意味を持たない良い意味の動詞として使われます。 「イケる」とは「る」で終わる事からも動詞なのですが、この動詞は特定の意味を 持つ動詞ではありません。正確には「イケる」=「行ける」という意味から来てい るのだと思いますが、実際にはどこに行く必要もありません(笑) バンドのレポートとの事ですので、「みんなも思いっきりイケるんじゃないの!?」 は、「みんなも思いっきり演奏出来るんじゃないの!?」などという意味に置き換 える事ができるのではないでしょうか。 英語で言うと、 「go for it」、「works out」、「cool」、「good」などという意味になる事が多 いです。今回の例では、「go for it」の意味が近いと思います。 だから、 「みんなも思いっきりイケるんじゃないの!?」 =>「They (every one) can just go for it, can't they!?」 => 「They (every one) can just go for their playing, can't they!?) という意味になるのではないでしょうか? 英語での説明になってしまって申し訳ありません。
