こにちわ!私のなまえわジュリアスです。私わはアメリカじんです。たくさんスポーツをしました。今大学生です。日本語101や102もうとりました。日本語201とりたいからたくさん日本語をべんきょするつもりです。いまなつ休みですいそがしくありません。日本語のせんせいがほしいです。読んでくれて、ありがとう。 ジュリアス Just realized my long intro was only in Japanese hahaha I can be so forgetful sometimes. SO lets see... again my name is Julius and I'm a native English speaker. If anyone wants it I can help them out with English, either through speaking on Skype or through chat/messaging. Just one thing to warn you, my spelling is very bad so I can Google words to spell check them, but without that there is a 30 percent chance that I will misspell it, or something like that :p And yeah as you guys can see I'm studying Japanese, but I am willing to help others who don't know any Japanese and want to practice English, I don't mind at all! If you want to know anything more or if you want to chat, just follow me and I'll respond back.

    Difference between ので and ですから

    In a lot of my notebook corrections I've seen my ”ですから” being changed into "ので" They are both used to connect sentences so I'm not sure why ので is preferable. my understanding of the translations are: xですから, y = because of x, y. While ので ~ xので, y = being the case that x, y. They seem basically the same to me... am I missing something?

    It is too bad

    There is something I have realized recently that makes me feel sick, which is the Friendship that we have nowadays. Our Friends that we used to be with them all the time, hanging out, playing, enjoying, talking and sharing our stories, become became separate from us. After what gethered us ended the ending of the phase that gathered us.
    The worst thing is that all of us have emails, phone numbers and the all the new technologies technology systems that make communications more easier, but we don't communicate. They become like an evidences show how many of our friendships were fake!!

    PLEASE I am waiting for corrections !!

     

    Sorry to hear that. Many of my friends from the past have been growing more and more distant as time goes on. I guess that is just life, sadly. But that is why we make more friends as time goes on!

    Homework !

    Last year we planed go to Morro Of San Pablo. This place is a beautiful island situated in the north of Brazil.

    We left Argentina on a raining rainy day with our old car. In the middle of the way our trip, we had a big problem: a robber stole from us. He took pur the car, our money and clothes. Dispite of this, we decided to continue our trip walking.
    Our The first night, we went to a small restaurant, near the route (as in highway? if so I would change to "near the road" or "near the highway"), for some food. We had to explain what happened to us to the restaurant owner, and he was kind and offered us a big meal.
    When Juli went to the bathroom, he found a bag and took it. He told us, that the bag was full of money and immediately we left the restaurant without explanations to the kind man. After that, we walked until the morning and we arrived to in a big city. There, we bought clothes, and we rented a luxurious car. Also, we accommodated stayed in the best hotel of in the city and there, was the robber! andHe stole from us again !

    We had to come go back to our house walking and some a car in on the route, picked us up us some kilometres down the road.
    We couldn´t enjoy our planed holidays, but today, remember this situation with laughs. It was a really adventure for us.

     

    And WOW. That sounds like a really crazy trip. Meeting nice people, getting lucky, and unfortantly running into the same robber twice! Really fun story to read, great entry!

    Short Story - A Rainy Day

    One day, in the present of week, there was a the sky was espically blue-bright-clearand sunshine bright and blue. It was Marcell, a seventeen-year-old boy, whose name is Marcell, started his motorcycle and went to school, which is not so far from his house. He was wearing a white-gray uniform and a black helmet. As usual, he did not forget to bring his blue raincoat, because it was rainy season.

    It was started after he went home from the school. In the middle of his going-home trip, it was raining cats and dogs. The road was flooded by water. He wore his blue raincoat and rode his motorcycle slowly because of the slippery road. Then he saw a young-beautiful girl, who did not wear her helmet and raincoat, rode riding her scooter very fast quickly. Marcell smiled and laughed when he saw the wet clothes of on her (Or change to "when he saw her wet clothes). She Her whose long-straight-black-haired, seemed so wet because of the rain. and Marcell saw her reddened-faced, which was caused by the heavy-big rain struck striking her beautiful-sweet face continuously during her whole a heavy-rain trip. But the girl, who wore pink-green clothes, did not care and still rode her scooter faster than Marcell did.

    After coming into entering his renting-big house, he told his friends about the girl which he met, and suggested to his friends to use helmets and a raincoat, especially when it was raining. :-)

     

    Awesome job Edu! I enjoyed reading the story, I'm not sure if I could do this in my non-native language just yet. I noticed that you use a lot of adjective+adjective combinations to describe things. Careful that you don't overuse them, what I normally do is describe something using one or two adjectives then adding more later on (like two sentences later) so that I don't overdo it. But besides that it's really good.

    How do you figure out what to talk about in your notebook? I've been praticing my Japanese, but when it comes to writting I feel really limited in what I can talk about, without having to look up a lot of words. For example for one of my essays a year ago or so I had the describe the day and life of a cat. Was super hard because I didn't know random words like paw, fur, hunting, mice, or any things like that. Just disjoined words like cat, cute, ears, eyes, and stare at things, ものにじろじろします, for a funny part. Is the answer memorizing these random words and hope that they appear in conversation later so it wasn't just wasted effort?

    Yeah same as above the better sentence is "My brother and I are good tennis players" A little trick for deciding between I and Me when it is you and another is cut the sentence in half. For example in "You and me should have dinner" vs "You and I should have dinner." if you separate the two parts into: Me should have dinner and I should have dinner Makes it easier to see that "You and I should have dinner" is the better choice, although people mix this up a lot.

    I use to be very much a Pessimist. I actually a time period in my life I refer to as my emo (emotional) phase when this was particularly true. Now though I consciously make myself think on the bright side of things. Funny thing one day, a few years back after sitting beneath a tree talking to it (I know not the most normal of things to do I admit) I finally understood that life isn't something to just be endured. You have to enjoy it as well, after all how can one say that they have lived a fufilling and valuable life when they only focused on the negatives of the past?

    This is cheating, but even as a native speaker the sh sound sucks saying. Remember the old tongue twister "She sells sea shells by the sea shore"? Unless I slow down and really think about it I butcher it over and over.
