I am trying to figure out how to get back to Japan. It may take a few years, but I really want to visit my family there. I want to really improve my Japanese so I can talk with Hiroe and the grandparents, as well as make new friends. Last time I went, I was still very shy about my speaking, and learning Japanese was difficult for me. Now, I still don't know very much Japanese, but I am much more comfortable so I am ready to practice talking. I know my accent is horrible. When I go back to Japan, I will be bringing my husband and daughter. I am really interested in learning the way Japanese is spoken to children, so I can help her prepare as well. When I'm not getting my family ready for Japan, I keep chickens, read and write, and attend births as a doula. That means I help the mother with massage, relaxation, and understanding the process as she has her baby. Okay. So I am especially hoping to meet friends who can write to me in Japanese. We can skype too! I can help you with English practice as well. If you live in Japan, maybe I can meet you when I finally go back!

    Oh- well, pranks can be harsh, or not too harsh. Some pranks might be very mean, like vandalizing someone's things, or they might be silly like filling up a bathroom with balloons, or putting garlic powder in the tip of a toothpaste tube. It tastes gross for a minute, but it doesn't ruin anything. Some pranks are friendly, but almost all are irritating to the victim.

    はじめまして。朝で　会いましょうか？ I am a native English speaker, learning Japanese. Can we skype together? If you speak fluent Japanese, let's meet on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday morning (Japan time) between 7:30 and 10:00. We can speak some Japanese, and some English. My Japanese is not really good, so you can have lots of English practice! Please comment on this message and we can set up a time to talk! どぞ　よろしく。

    I think it is just important to listen a lot. Try to listen and read along- have a friend read a page while you listen. Or you can put on a movie in English with English subtitles. Watch it a few times, then try to watch without the subtitles on.

    If you want to translate all the way into English, you could say something like "Festival of Vega" (which is the Greek name for the star celebrated), or you could just translate it directly from the Kanji and say "Night of Seven." If you did that, you would probably want to explain more about the celebration with a few sentences. If I were trying to mention it without explaining, though, I would say "Tanabata day," to English speakers.

    When I was young, my family called me by my first name. When I started college, I started to use my middle name instead, because to me it sounds more grown up. Also, people make up really stupid nicknames for my first name, but my middle name is short and no one makes up nicknames.
