Hello! My name is Katherine. I am learning Japanese as I intend to become an English teacher in Japan when I earn my master's degree in TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages). I know many of the famous English Teaching Programs don't require you to speak Japanese to apply (Interac, JET) but I would like to be able to communicate with the other teachers, my neighbors, and make friends in Japan. I currently work at my school to help students with disabilities receive accommodations. When I'm not studying or working, I'm reading, writing, and playing with my cat Peaches.

    recipe for matcha pudding

    I wrote Japanese matcha pudding recipe.

    Please correct my English.

    [The recipe for Matcha Pudding ]

    2 servings

    ☆Sugar 20g

    ☆ Matcha Powder 5g

    Milk 80ml

    Gelatin 3g

    Water 15ml

    Heavy whipping cream 70ml

    【How to make】

    ①Put the gelatin into the water.

    ②Mix ☆ into a deep pan and then pour the milk slowly into it.

    ③Cook ② on the stove with on low heat, then add the gelatin until melted it.

    ④Stain ③ and let it cool for 10 mins minutes on the cold water .*

    ⑤Add the heavy whipping cream and continue to stir until it starts to thicken.

    ⑥Pour ⑤ into some a glass bowl and put them it into the refrigerator.


    *I'm not sure what "stain" means here (possibly you mean strain), and what we are going to do with the cold water. Do we put the pan in cold water, so that the pan cools? Or are we putting cold water into the mixture?

    Also, refrigerator is correct. However, if you want to learn a colloquial term, many people say "fridge."

    a letter of complaint

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am writing in order to complain about the hotel, in which I was accommodated during my stay in Gdansk. It took place between from 20th and to 27th of January this year. I had a reservation of for a single room in your hotel because I have stayed several times in your hotel in Warsaw. I have been your a regular until now.

    Firstly, my room was not cleaned. The carpet was not vacuumed because there was a lot of sand on the floor. Nobody aired the room since and there was unpleasant smell that caused nausea. The bathroom had no clean towels and toilet paper. Moreover, the shower and bath was were not cleaned.

    Secondly, I have never met such unpleasant service. The receptionist did not listen to my questions. When I asked her a question she was writing text messages. The woman was not willing to help. She was very gruff and pretended not to see me. Any help was seen by her as an unpleasant duty.

    Thirdly, the hotel restaurant was not as good as you said. I ate there three times and each time the food was tasteless. The waiting time was too long because it was about 50 minutes each time. What is What's more, the waiter did not know how to open and pour wine. Also, the wine glasses were not cleaned properly.

    To sum this up, I am very disappointed with the level of ____ of the hotel. Conditions and service were at such a terrible level for which that I should not have to pay so much money. Therefore, I hope I will be given a refund.

    I look forward to your early reply.

    Yours faithfully,


    "Between" would imply that you were there some days, not all days.

    This sentence was grammatically correct how you wrote it, but in every day English it sounds a little unnatural.

    This is correct. If you wanted to use a colloquial term, you would write "When I asked her a question she was texting."

    "What's more" is an informal phrase, though it would be fine in a formal letter such as this. However, "what is more" sounds incorrect. Yes, it is technically grammatically correct, but "what's more" is a phrase that is said a certain way and doesn't change.

    You need to place a noun here. "level of service," "level of disrespect," "level of laziness," and so on.

    Very nice writing! I have met native English speakers who write less formally than this. If I were the manager of this hotel, I would be very worried about losing my job after reading a letter like this.

    Today's Notebook to learn

    The Japanese language is very convenient.
    For example, if you study Japanese, when Ariana Grande has "七輪" of in Kanji tattooed on her hand, you can tell she those characters mean a small barbecue stove.
    Therefore, let's study Japanese.


    Great writing topic! I'm studying Japanese, and so the news about her tattoo was a fun way to learn new Kanji.

    Making a role player

    She is a good actress. Her name is Tuba Büyüküstün. She is a good player and also is so very beautiful. When I watch her on in the movie I respect her, because she is doing well.

    Another If I can say another name, it is Kıvanç. Maybe you know this name before. He is the most famous actor in Turkey. Many girls are sick* of him.(*Is this meant as a good thing? In English, this sentence in this context would mean we are "bored" of him.) He is really doing a very good job. if You can see he is going to improve every year. When you watch him on in the movie or series, you can not criticism criticize him because he acts wonderful.

    Always Often I wonder these actors or actresses when they these actors or actresses go home or come back to normal in their own life, how can they exit the role they* played? (*Some people prefer to use "he or she" rather than "they" but both are correct grammar.)

    If I were a role player and I was a doctor at in series or movies, when I go home Most probably I would probably feel strange. I cannot adapt the to normal life.
    It would be difficult to adapt the to normal life after the series or after the movie.


    One more note: in English, "role player" would mean someone who acts in a game or as a hobby. For someone who does it professionally, their job title would be "actor" or "actress." Good work with your writing! I researched Tuba Büyüküstün and I agree, she is very beautiful!

    What happened today? ☺

    There was a spare time for me today, and I decided to go with my sister to buy a present for my mother where because Mother's day will be on the 21st of March.
    The shop assistant was so very kind, and he made a discount for us as because we visited him for the first time. (If you wanted, you could say "because this was our first time visiting him.")
    We bought an abaya, which is a gown that women prefer to wear as it is baggy, which I hope that she will like it.
    It was a windy day which soon turned to a rain storm. It rained cats and dogs and as a result we got wet.
    When we returned there were eight killos kilos if of truffles that needed to be cleaned.
    How was your day?


    I tried to correct it while still preserving your own wording. Sounds like a great day!
