I decided to finally get serious about my Japanese studies again, so I decided to join. I figured one of the worst things about self-study is that your mistakes don't get corrected, so this site is the perfect solution! My interests are reading (English fiction and non-, altho I haven't done much since I started cramming Japanese), anime, and manga. I do a lot of cooking, and I'm pretty good at it, but not because I particularly enjoy it, only out of necessity. I've never been too much into music, but I've recently gotten fairly heavily into this whole Vocaloid internet phenomenon. 私はやっと日本語の勉強に本気になると決心したから、サインアップすると決めた。独学の一番悪いことの一つは間違いが正されてならないと思ったから、このサイトは完璧な解答だ！ 興味は読書(英語のフィクションとノン、でも日本語を詰め込み勉強始めた時からあまりしてない)やアニメや漫画だ。沢山の調理をして、かなり上手と思ってけど、特に楽しむからじゃない、必要だけから。音楽にはあまり興味がなかったけど、最近少し重くにこの一切のボーカロイドのネット現象に興味を持った。

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I'm a girl who was born in Shanghai 25 years ago.
    I'm a student who is taking a joint masters programme at Goldsmiths College and Shanghai University.
    I'm a traveller who always enjoys* exploring various places alone.
    I'm too lazy to deal with the complicated outside world.
    I simply hope to improve my English here.
    Then I'll be happy to start a new journey alone, or with others, in the near future.

    * "I'm a traveller who enjoys..." isn't interpreted as "I'm a traveller and I enjoy...", it's interpreted as "I'm a traveller, and the traveller enjoys...", so that's why you need the 's'.

    Your English is pretty good! Good luck with your studies!

    イソップ物語：獅子の分 獅子は一度狐と野性犬と狼と一緒に狩猟をしました。狩って、狩って、やっと雄鹿を驚いて、間も無く命を消しました。それから、獲物を分かち取る問題が出ました。獅子は「この雄鹿を四つ切って」と吠えて、他の動物が皮を剥いで、四分に切りました。そして、獅子は死体の前に立って、判断を断言しました。「第一分は我の、我が百獣の王としてからです。第二は我の、調停者としてです。もう一分は、我の追う役割から、我が受けます。そして四分の四としては、まあ、それとしては、誰が思い切って手を掛けるのを見たいです。」 「ふーん」と狐はブツブツ言って、尻尾を巻いて、歩いて行きました。でも、低い唸り声で−− →「偉人の労働を分かち合うかもしれないけど、獲物を分かち合いません。」 でも、翻訳する間に質問が出ました： １．この頃、獅子とライオンとどちらの方が普通ですか？ ２．ネットでふりがなを使うのが少し難しいから、「吠える」とか「唸る」とか「狐」とか漢字は読められませんか？

    If you say "We didn't go by ourselves," that means the same as "We didn't go alone." It says WHO didn't go, but not WHY. "We decided on our own not to go to XX," or "It was our own choice not to go to XX," or "It was our own decision not to go to XX," all have the meaning you're looking for. I would use "It was our own decision not to go to XX."

    My former alma mater

    It is raining heavily outside there. I'm on the bus on my way to my former university which is the University of Malaya. I loved being here before and never regretted being of one the students here. It deserves to be the best university in Malaysia. All the lecturers are kind-hearted, warm, friendly, and they are so professional in their fields. Even if you're a slow learner or left behind in your studies, they still want to help you by giving you their phone number to make it easier for students to contact them or asked them anything related to their studies at anytime. Apart from that, the foundation's students are also the best buddies I ever had. They are caring and really helpful in my studies. We are not only study together but we also hang out on weekends, watching the movies and jogging around the college. That has passed and I have to start new life here. :-)

    Your English is pretty good! Good luck with your studies!

    In the US, of course New York City is popular, as well as Washington D.C. But aside from cities, Niagara Falls (which I live only an hour from!), Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon are amazing natural locations.

    "Life" is a noun. ("He led a successful life.") The noun "lives" is the plural of "life". ("A cat has nine lives.") It is pronounced with a long "i" sound. "Live" is a verb, and the third person singular is "lives". ("He lives alone.") The verb "live" is pronounced with a short "i" sound. "Live" can also be an adjective. ("I caught fish using live bait." "I watched a live broadcast.") The adjective "live" is pronounced with a long "i" sound. And just to be complete, "lifes" is not a real word.

    イソップ物語：犬と影 いつも訂正する人にありがとうございます！今日の物語の翻訳は「犬と影」です。 ある犬がたまたま肉片を手に入れて、安らかに食べる為に家へ口に運んでていました。帰り道に流れてる小川の上の厚板が渡られなければなりません。渡りながら、下を見て、下の水面に犬が自分の映る影を見ました。他の犬が他の肉片を運んでると思っていて、それも取る決心をしました。その為に水面の影に噛み付いたが、口を開いている時に肉片が口から水に落ちて、二度と見ませんでした。 →影に掴むから本体を失うのを用心しましょう。
