    I need help translating this paragraph into Japanese? Any help is much appreciated! I don't want to get it wrong, so could someone help me formulate this paragraph correctly into Japanese? I have an idea of what to write, but I'm afraid of making many mistakes, so if you could, translate these sentences? 1."You could say that I am an old-fashioned sort of person because of my immense interest in traditional Japanese culture." 2."I look young, but I'm just like an old woman sometimes!" 3."I often finding myself preferring music like Enka or Gagaku over Japanese pop music, but that doesn't mean I dislike it." 4."I love musical instruments, and I used to play in band but I wasn't very good at it. I hope to someday see a live performance of the biwa, shakuhachi, koto or the shamisen." 5."I love to watch jidaigeki, my favorite being 水戸黄門 and I've been a devoted fan since the first season." 6."I also like to read old Japanese literature, although I still have a lot to learn before I can fully comprehend Classical Japanese." 7."I love old Japanese folktales as well, especially the scary ones about ghosts or demons." 8."When I have the chance to go to Japan, I would love to go to a Noh play, kabuki or even a bunraku.If anyone has been, you should tell me how it was!" 9."Also, I would love to try on a Juni-hitoe, although it looks so very difficult to wear!" 10."Anyways, I look forward to getting to know all of you! This is such an exciting experience for me!"

    誰かがあらすじの誤りを直してくれて下さいませんか? 一人のおじいさんは仕事がたくさんあってから、夜遅く家に帰ってきましたけど、変な事に始まりました。鳴き声を聞こえて、調べて行って泣いている娘を見つけました。でも、むすめじゃなかったのです。人間もじゃなさそうでした。顔がなかったからです。狢という妖怪が出てきました Also, can anyone suggest another way to say "でも、むすめじゃなかったのです。人間もじゃなさそうでした" I want to know how to say "wasn't a girl, or human for that matter." ”一人のおじいさんは仕事がたくさんしてから。。。” My mistake ^^;

    Differentiating between なら、たら、ば、and と? I know how to use them in a sentence when needed, but sometimes I have a hard time differentiating them. Could anyone possibly give some example sentences, or tell me the rules of when and when not to use them?

    What is the difference in the usage between たびに、and と? Ex. 彼の家へ行くたびに, 彼はうちにいなかった。 or 冬になると、この辺に大雪が降る。 They both seem to mean "whenever" or "each time"...

    どうしたらいいの?

    子供の時から、夢はぺらぺら日本語を話せるうになりたいけど、今は、時々、勉強するのを諦めたいと思ってる。(同時には) でも, 諦めたくない。というのは、ちょっとシャイだし、毎日、日本語を話せない他にも、全く絶望そう)。

    My Japanese still is bad after four years, ^^

    What I'm trying to say here is that ever since I was a child, I've always thought the Japanese language to be the most interesting thing. I'd mimic songs I heard that were in Japanese.

    My mom thought it was the most funny thing~! (笑) 
    However, lately I feel that I can never do good enough. I've not been to Japan yet, but I've been studying for 4 years and now I'm a freshman in college and feel that I'll never be able to become fluent.

    I really want to be, but the problem is is that I am very shy. I have Japanese friends and I'm going to stay at their place this summer, but I'm nervous...

    What do you think?

    Why at the end of some sentences is けど and が used? I know it is used for "however, although, etc..." and "but"... But sometimes it is used in sentences like, for example... 1)小切手を現金にしたいんですけど。 2)アメリカに送金したいんですが。 I learned that it is used for hesitance or something along those lines...

    下手な日本語のジャーナル

    最近、気分が悪いんだけど、自分の中では、深いに、何時か、幸せになれると思い、多分、もっと自信を見つけられるように, ついに日本に行ける。

    大学一年生だけでも、いつも、今より上手に話すと書くのを出来しなくちゃ。。。

    悲しそうな場合ですね。。。


    皆の日本人は私の日本語が下手だと思うかも。

    多分ね。でも、ほんのちょっとしたことでも理解に苦しむことがあるのよ。
    それは一番迷惑 なんです。

    よく練習したら、断然ちょっと上手に出来ます。
