Hey, y’all! My name is Geoffrey. I’m student at the University of North Texas studying music composition, percussion, and Japanese. When I started learning Japanese, I knew almost nothing about Japanese culture, food, music, anime – which as an American student learning Japanese, that might be hard to believe. Now that I've been studying for about 2 years, I can easily say that I am 100% into all things Japanese! Like you, I am also a language student. I’m not quite ready to help study for certification tests like TOEFL, but I’ll be a good help to sound more natural and have fun learning languages. Maybe I’ll learn something too! I look forward to meeting you! Let’s learn some English!

    最初の週を終わった！ 私の最初の週が終わった！私の授業は大変面白かったが、ときどき難しかった… 侍の歴史の授業のためにに、信長を勉強していた。若者信長はばからしいと思って、色々なまぬけ事をしていたから。わがままと危ない人だったかな。 言葉の授業のために、漫画と戯画を話していた。今まで、その授業は面白くないそうが、単位がもらわないと…頑張れ。 先週末には、私の彼女とSan Japanに行った。Air BnBの予約を取った、たくさん友だちといた。私の彼女の踊っていたを見た、友達とコスプレを着た。わたしは写真をもらうとき、このブログにポストつもり。友達と一緒にかわいかったよ！！！

    私の専攻が移す？（変化する？） 今、大学に、私の専攻は音楽の打楽器だが、変化しないとと思う。全部のことを学びたかったのが学んじゃった。だから、私は専攻をスイッチしとかないと。語学が勉強したと思っとくが、怖いだよ。その専攻は音楽の方が怖いだよ。あなたは何をすると思いますか。

    私の新しいアパート 私の新しいアパートはとてもきれい。でも、ドアに始め入れる時、たくさん意表が現れた。例えば、全部の電源は切れたと思ったが、スイッチが入れなかった。このために、怖じられた。やはり、建物の駐車は難しい。一人が一つ免許があれますして、だから、係に話しに行った。「もう一つ駐車の免許があらせてください。」と聞いた。「はい。でも、君は一月に一回、30ドルが支払わなければいけませんよ。」おろか、もう一つ免許を買わない。

    While (1) is the most polite, I would ask the waiter "Can I please have an order of fries?"

    In this situation, what she has "practice at" is what she has experience with. In other words: The woman has experience in not talking about what she sees, not talking about what she hears, and not talking in general when she is in or around Lord Renly's household. I love Game of Thrones and "A Storm of Swords." You should friend me if you need more help with this book, or just want to talk about the story! -Geoffrey

    I am living the worst nightmare of my life and I do not know how to wake up or when it started.(1)

    I thought I had everything arranged. Everything was in place and calculated. I did elementary, high school and preparatory without error. There were no hesitations or mistakes. There were no "excellent"s or commemorations, but there were no mistakes.
    They might say that if there were no "excellent"s or failures then I am an average and mediocre student.
    But no, every 8, every 6 and every 9 that I took was because I studied for hours, reviewed again and again not only to memorize, but to understand. When I started college, there were many times when I wanted to drop out and send everything flying. I knew that the industrial engineering career was not as difficult as being a mathematical physicist, nor as complicated as a programmer, but for me it was like climbing Mount Everest. Still, I tried every minute of every day and I finally finished it.
    I'm not an expert because the practice time offered by our university is a joke, but I managed to learn more than many others know. However, I have looked for a year and four months and can not find a job, I lost count of the number of CVs sent, the amount of interviews I attended, I'm not even looking for a job as an engineer. I'm looking for a job as a practitioner and yet I still manage to get  "no". English is my worst nightmare. When they find out I speak English, they say "Give us something in English," as if I was one of those circus animals that do tricks. What the hell do I say!?
    I do not speak it, write it, or understand it fluently, but I am sure that the idiot in front of me does not care. He is only looking for a detail in me to say "NO". I tell them the truth. "I have not mastered it, but I can read it, understand it, and speak it. I'm still learning," but that is not enough for them.


    I've continued edits on your second post. Please read that and the comments I left.

    The bastard smiles and extends his hand to me as if he really likes me and with a fake smile he makes me a promise that he never fulfills: "We will call you." What he does not know is that during the time I studied at university finishing my degree I did not go to parties, that I spent weeks preparing for the subjects that I knew worked, that I stayed awake until 3 in the morning to be able to finish my tasks because the next day I have to go to work to be able to survive a full shift of eight hours standing in a factory where my boss will come behind me to pressure me to work more quickly. I always thought that you reap what what you sow, and I was planting. I just had to put up with a little more.

    And then there is another interview and another false smile accompanied by another promise that is never fulfilled "We will call you." What he does not know is that I have been looking for work for months, that I have read almost every page that gives advice on how to find a job, that I have searched through all the job boards, that my CV has been made and remade so many times I have a folder with more than 6 versions. I am exhausted by the optimism. There are days that I eat my nails until I can not but anguish. Anxiety and uncertainty grow along with my debts.


    Wow. Just... wow. That was a very well written piece. I knew I needed to help you as soon as I saw this. As an amateur writer myself, I can very clearly see the effort you put into this. "There are days that I eat my nails until I can not but anguish" is a FANTASTIC line. I also love the repetition of the response "We will call you."

    Please let me know if you want any more of your writing corrected. This was amazing.

    Since I was 5 years old, I have computers nearly everyday. One day, when my father bought a new computer, he gave me his old one. From then, I only used that computer until he gave me a newer one. When I  started junior high school, I thought that I was good at using computers. Oh yeah, one year I am writing here like this, but I couldn't program at all (lol) Focusing on my typing speed, I became really confident. However, when I met more people, this confidence disappeared. Her typing speed was so fast that I was surprised. I was, to be honest, so frustrated to see her skill, and so I practiced my typing again and again. I had probably practiced tons of times during my first year of junior high school. Thanks to her, my confidence came back to me. I then thought, a way of improving one of my abilities faster is to know someone with skills better than mine. What do you think about this idea?

    I think this is a very good idea. As students, we usually try to find teachers who have more experience than us in order to learn more and try to become better ourselves. If they are more like a rival, then there is something inside of us that naturally wants to be competitive and become better than them. 

    You did a great job with this! If you are looking for a little extra help, why not follow my account or become friends with me, or maybe possibly consider taking a lesson. Keep practicing!
