First notebook entry: Introducing myself

わたしはマハムードとおもします。２０さいです　。
どうしにほんごをべんきょうしているか？　
まずガイドになりたくてにほんのぶんかがおもしるいです。
これためにほんごをべんきょうしました。
１ねんはんまえににほんごのべんきょうをはじみました。じゃにほんごのべんきょうがおもしるいですけどはんじはたいへんですからかんじでかけません

私（わたし）はマハムード、２０歳（さい）です。ガイドになりたいので日本語（にほんご）を勉強（べんきょう）しています。日本語（にほんご）を学（まなぶ）ぶのはとても面白（おもしろ）いです。
一年半前（いちねんはんまえ）に日本語（にほんご）の勉強（べんきょう）を始（はじ）めました。日本語（にほんご）の勉強（べんきょう）は好（す）きですが、漢字（かんじ）はとても難（むずか）しいのでまだ書（か）けません。

学ぶ＝To Learn
好き＝To like
難しい＝Difficult
まだ＝Yet

申しますis a very formal way to say "my name is",so you can replace it to　"ＸＸといいます" or　"ＸＸです".  Instead of 私  you can also say  僕（ぼく） as you are a male.   

Good luck!

First of all, I will create some business to gain more money, then I will visit some developing countries to built schools and hospitals. All of money from my business will goes to manage those schools and hospitals. If those business goes well and have extra money to spend, I will build home for orphans and I would like to work in this orphanage as thier mother. It's not only my imagination, but IT IS my dream and I am intending to make it happen. To my opinion, money should be used for helping people who really need it. If I really spend money for myself...well, I would love to buy some beautiful clothes for my daughter.

携帯に電話して(Keitaini denwa shite:) is same as 携帯に電話してくれる(keitaini denwa shitekureru)Or　 携帯に電話してくれるかな(keitaini denwa shitekureru kana) They are all Casual way to say "Please call to my mobile phone." You can also say 携帯に電話してください(keitaini denwashite kudasai) which is the polite way to say "Please call to my mobile phone" when you don't know this person or you need to talk to this person in a polite way.

"名前なんて読むん”は”名前なんて読むの”からきたものだと思いますよ。Ｋｉｍさんのいってるように、”の”が会話のなかで”ん”に変わってくることもありますし、私の推測では、方言のある地域から来た人の言った言葉だと思います。関西方面のひとがこういった話し方をしますよ。 例えば：”それどこで買うん”＝”それどこで買うの” 　　　　”昨日どこに行ったん”＝昨日どこに行ったの”　などなど

All works of Hayao MIYAZAKI's (宮崎 駿) animation. -Nausica -Totoro -Mononoke hime etc... Enjoy!

Rennes is a small city, therefore it would need only 2days to do the sightseeing though, if you come to Rennes(I said "come to Rennes, because I live in Rennes), you can also go to visit "Mont st Michel(about 1 hour and 15mins from Rennes by car)" and "Dinan(about 50mins from Rennes by car)" as well. Rennes has lots of students(as it has some Universities),so there are lot's of activities going on even the size of the city. Enjoy your trip in France!

German, English, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese are all originally from "Latin" language. Therefore there are still some similarity in thier languages. Example of the words: "I love you" = Italian(Ti amo), Portuguese(te amo),French(Je t'aime) "Restaurant"=Italian( ristorante), Portuguese(restaurante),Spanish(restaurante) "hello"=French(Allo), Spanish(Hola) etc...

We have a period is called "Golden week　ゴールデンウィーク" in May. 　In this period, lots of people take thier holiday(around few days to 10days, it depend on people),and go back to thier home town to visit thier family and relatives...or going on a trip in Japan or overseas. At the end of the year to the begining of the New Year, we have few days off from work too.
