Hi!
I'm a native English speaker learning Japanese. I am looking for a native Japanese speaker learning English to become friends with and do language exchanges. If you're interested, let me know. My communication tool of choice is Discord, but I could also use other things. I prefer text chat for now.
I'm a very relaxed person, I like to have fun with everything I do and love to laugh.
I enjoy editing things that people have written, but sometimes I will miss a mistake. I will try to cover at least 98% of your mistakes before I submit a correction. If you would like explanations, please leave a comment. I may try to explain a change if it seems complicated, but I'm not very good at knowing what needs explaining.
I may write my own entries sometimes, but I'm still learning a lot of basics.
よろしくおねがいします！

- Usual daysI went to my office and met my co-workers for the first time in a week. Last week, I stayed home. It was good because I enjoyed doing what I’d like to do, but when I <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">talked and ate lunch</s> ate lunch and talked with my co-workers about what they did last week<s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);"> each other</s>, I felt happier. Of course, I think we have to be careful <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">for</s> about Coronavirus from now on. Moreover, I hope that <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">usual days come back</s> things return to normal soon.You can also say "the office" instead of "my office" and it will make sense in the context of a job. I think both will work.talked and ate lunch: "talked and ate lunch with my co-workers" is fine, but when you continue with "about what they did last week" the last verb is assumed to be the most relevant. It's like saying "ate lunch about what they did last week" instead of "talked about what they did last week". It will still be understood, but sounds weird to me.usual days come back: It looks like you want to express returning to a previous state. This is almost correct, but has more of a direction/location feel here. "return" is more flexible and better for states. This is slightly difficult to explain in this scenario and I can't think of a good way to explain it right now. It will be understood anyway.0 votedMay 18, 20201
- My New Vocabulary for Today Part 109Hi, I'm trying to make some sentences using the new vocabulary I learnt today.If there are any grammar mistakes and/or weird word choices, please correct them. Thanks.1) This car is a little bit at an angle, so we might as well straighten it.2) A person ,who <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">has a</s> is programming literate, is always hectic. (I am not sure if this is what you wanted to say)3) He has <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">got</s> both a well off and tranquil life.4) Fertile land is one of the livelihoods for a farmer. (Saying "one of" means that you know there are many, so livelihood has to be plural)5) Good sanitation systems makes public hygiene better. (You can say "Good sanitation systems make" or "A good sanitation system makes")6) You can take your pick. Whatever you like. (A pause seems natural here)7) <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">A</s> The mortality rate is at a standstill.8) <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">An</s> The upper right dot is diagonally in front of you. (I would use "The" since there is probably only one dot in the upper right. "diagonally in front of you" is a little weird because you have specified front as opposed to back, but not which side [left or right] diagonally so you have given incomplete information)9) There are three dots, located lower left, lower right and upper left.10) Some bogans are against an urban sprawl. (I have never heard "bogan" before but I do not think it's a polite term)11) He gloated about his flourishing business.12) <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">Even</s> He is a punctual person, but sometimes tardy. (punctual and tardy contradict each other, so you should add more information to show that tardiness happens less)0 votedOctober 14, 20191
- 10/14｜Does this sound natural? Please correct if my English is wrong.Q: Please tell me about a pleasant incident that happened today.A: <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">A</s> The sun is shinning beautifully, like treasure, and <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">leafs</s> leaves are twinkled by it. As the typhoon has gone, it seems it has taken away <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">with</s> the dirty air. I hoped that it would take away <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">of</s> every <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">people's</s> person's dirty heart<s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">s</s> like that too!=======Saying that someone's heart is "dirty" can be understood, but I do not think it's natural to say in English. "unclean" has the same meaning as "dirty" but is a little more common for this poetic use I think."taken away the unclean air", "take away every person's unclean heart"It is not entirely clear if you want your last sentence to be future-tense or past-tense. I chose past-tense.0 votedOctober 14, 20192

Some specialists say there is a possibility that HABIGIS will causes 3000 deaths. It may be a huge disaster.The big <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">probrem</s> problem is the overflowing of the rivers. Japan's main land has many rivers.

If we live today, it is only the mercy of God. We have to fear God. We have to have the right amount of fear of God.==========A disaster caused by overflowing rivers is called a "flood"."it is" can be shortened to "it's" in many places to sound better.I am not sure what your last sentence is trying to convey but I did my best.0 votedOctober 13, 20191
