I have excellent English/grammar skills, so I can teach you proper English. I really want to learn Japanese, and I've studied really hard over 4 years. I want to find language-learning partners who are serious about learning and helping each other to learn another language. I can't use Skype, etc (No webcam/microphone). I'm looking for someone who doesn't mind using only emails, or one-on-one chat <text, not video or audio>. My interests/hobbies are Anime/manga, J-pop/ J-rock, reading, dogs, and my pets (2 dogs, and a rabbit) Music I like: L'Arc~en~Ciel (ラルクアンシエル), DBKS (東方神起), Grass Valley (グラスバレー), REV, Masayuki Deguchi (出口雅之), Kinya Kotani (コタニキンヤ), X-Japan, Gwinko, Up Beat, Hideaki Takizawa (滝沢秀明), Hideaki Matsuoka (松岡英明), Ohsawa Yoshiyuki (大沢誉志幸), Chara, Janne Da Arc (ジャンヌダルク), Teresa Teng (邓丽君), Yosuke Sakanoue (坂上庸介), Yohei Izumi (泉見洋平), The Boom (ザ・ブーム) Anime music (アニメ・ミュージック): Death Note (デスノート), Gravitation (グラビテーション), Tokyo Babylon (東京BABYLON/とうきょうバビロン), FullMetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師), X/1999 (X by Clamp<クランプのX(エックス)>) , Tomokazu Seki (関智一), Kappei Yamaguchi (山口勝平), Kenichi Suzumura (鈴村健一), Kohei Koizumi (小泉恒平), Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu (涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱) Queen, The Beatles, Procol Harum, 80s music Books, etc. I like: Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Mysteries HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and other books by Douglas Adams. I wish I could read Japanese novels, but I don't understand very many kanji... Manga (漫画): Death Note (デスノート), Case Closed (Detective Conan, 名探偵コナン), Tokyo Babylon (東京BABYLON/とうきょうバビロン), X/1999 (X by Clamp<クランプのX(エックス)>), Fruits Basket (フルーツバスケット), Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X, るろうに剣心明治剣客浪漫譚), FullMetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師), anything by CLAMP (クランプ)

¿Hay algunos errores en mi traducción? Tengo una “tarea” en mi trabajo y necesito hacer una traducción al español de una cuestionario de inmigración. (Trabajo en un bufete de abogados, se llama "Office Name" en el cuestionario). Los clientes tienen un enlace al sitio web y fijan la fecha y la hora de la cita. El cuestionario está debajo, en los comentarios. ¿Hay algunos errores o coloquialismos? Los clientes en el área son principalmente de Centroamérica pero hay personas de países hispanohablantes numerosos. (Ahora hay inglés al lado del español, pero intento que hay una versión inglesa y una versión español separada) Además, es un bufete de abogados muy casual/informal (es un modelo para atraer las personas que tengan miedo de abogados, etc). ¿Debo usar “usted” o “tú”? ¿Es “tú” demasiado informal entre un abogado casual y un cliente? Muchísimas gracias.El cuestionario: Servicios de inmigración (Immigration Services) Mucho gusto para pedir una cita para consultar sobre los Servicios de Inmigración con The Law Store.

Dalia, muchas gracias. Es un sitio muy común en los negocios (por ejemplo, hay muchos salones de belleza que usan Acuity Scheduling en sus sitios web), pero ahora entiendo que el nombre no es muy familiar a mucha gente. El cuestionario es un poco largo (porque hay inglés y español).

Thank you, Chihiro-sensei, for the kanji! ^^ My dictionary has: Ai -- love, affection Aikou -- love adoration, Aijou --love, affection, caring, devotion Renjou -- 1. love, attachment 2. love-sickness Koi -- love, tender passion If anyone else has anything better, though, I'd love to hear it, because I'm not entirely clear on all of those.... I can really only make the proper distinction between ai and koi .... Anyway.... If you have any more questions, please let me know, and I'll try to help you out! ^-^ ~Megumi

It doesn't really have a meaning by itself... It kinda means: because; by means of; compared with; in view of; 以下 (ika) means 1: not exceeding; and downward; ... and below; 2: below (e.g. standard); under (e.g. a level); 3: the below-mentioned; the following; the rest 以後 (igo) means 1: after this; from now on; hereafter; 2: thereafter; since (verb) (after -te form of verb); after (time); since (then) 以下 (ige) means 1: not exceeding; and downward; ... and below; 2: below (e.g. standard); under (e.g. a level); 3: the below-mentioned; the following; the rest And, there are lots more... Sentences include: 以上ですか。 Is that all? ２０人以上の人。 Better than 20 people. 最大２００語以内に。 Maximum length: 200 words 以来ずっと友人です。 We have been best friends ever since. Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, or need any more help with this, please let me know! ^-^ ~Megumi

"Ne" is like an "agreement" particle. It keep conversions going, because it encourages a response. Atsui desu ne? -- It's hot, isn't it? "Yo" is used when you're emphasizing a point. If someone says that it's cold, and you think it's hot, you could say: Atsui desu yo! -- It's hot! (and, has the *feeling* of disagreeing with that person's comment). It's explained near the bottom of this page, which has a lot of Japanese particles http://www.timwerx.net/language/particles.htm#ne Also, it is explained a little here: http://www.japan-guide.com/forum/quereadisplay.html?0+29090 If you have any more questions, please let me know. ^-^ ~Megumi

Don't give up! It's a wonderful language, although very difficult... (I've been learning it for 5 years, and 4 1/2 of it was totally by myself, without the help of iTalki, etc.) As somebody already pointed out, there are tons more people who speak Chinese than there are who speak Japanese.... My suggestion is to join Interpals penpals, and make a few good friends.. http://www.interpals.net/ For learning Japanese, I have been talking with *one* guy since March.... (Of course, I also talk to a few random people just because, not to learn Japanese...) We help each other out with the language (he's learning English), and ask each other questions about cultural things, etc. It's a little more work, but, these people *want* to be friends. Just make sure their profile has "Language Exchange" in the "Looking For" section. My suggestion, though.... Actually read their profile, and look for something in common, or something that interests you..... don't just send everyone a cut-and-paste message. But, whatever you decide to do, don't give up! There are tons of forums, etc., for people trying to learn Japanese.... Just because this one isn't working for you doesn't mean that they all are the same. ~Megumi

Corrected
1) I am watching a horror movie.
わたしはきょふえいがながみいる

2) I have a little brother.
わたしはおととがいます

3) This movie horrifies me. (couldn't find horrifies so i have horrify)
これえいがは, わたしをぞっとさせる (don't know about "zotto saseru", I can't find it)

4) I like cats.
わたしはねこがすき.

5) I am hungry.
わたしはおなかがすいている

6) My arm hurts and I do not know why.
わたしのうでくつ, そしてわたしするないしるなぜ (I don't know... looks okay...)

7) Day by day (i know this one is wrong. in a song it shows it as 一日一日)
Maybe 日増しに (hi mashi ni) or 日一日と (hi ichi nichi to).

8) I like cute boys
わたしはかわいいしょねんがすき.

9) You're gorgeous, sweet, amazing baby. I know you want it, baby. (lyrics from a song)
あなたはびれい(美麗)，やさしい，おどろくべきベイビーだ。わたしは, あなたはそれがひつよわかっている(分かっている) , ベイビー.   (It's kinda hard to translate this type of thing... ^-^*)

3 things to be careful of:
わ vs は (make sure you use "は" as the topic marker).

Sentence order.... Does your library have any books for learning Japanese?
If not, I suggest you suggest that they get "Japanese for Dummies"... it's great for grammar, example sentences, etc., and it has an audio cd to help with pronunciation and listening.....
I still check it out sometimes from our library, and I've been studying Japanese for 4 years.....

I noticed you were using "niteiru" as "like" (the verb).   Niteiru means "like, similar".
"Suki" is "like, love".
So, just be careful to note the "parts of speech" label your dictionary has on the entries... ^-^

BTW, what dictionary is it? I'm trying to find a good one for a friend....
