こんいちは！ ケイティーと申します。 私は日本語にもっと上手に話したいです。６～７年間ぐらい日本語を勉強して、日本に１年間半住んだことがありますので日本語はなかなか良いと思いますけどまだたくさん間違えます（＾＾））； 暇な時によくパソコンでドラマとか見て、絵を書いて、お散歩するのもとても楽しいです。 よかったら、友達になって英語と日本語で話しましょう♪ Hi, my name is Katie and I have been studying Japanese for about 7 years now. I have lived in Japan for over a year, and I really want to go back in the near future. I want to improve my Japanese as much as I can before I go back. Please help me with my Japanese!

    phone call How would I say, "During the week I am in Japan, may I give you a call about getting together?" or " May I give you a call to see if you would have some time to meet?" The first one may be better.. Since I'm sending this message to both my Japanese teacher and one of my host families I lived with a few years ago, I want to be polite but not too formal. Thank you in advance for the help.

    ダメ　と　無理... I updated a friend on when I was going to be in Japan to visit her, and told her that I would be in Japan on 12/16 for example. She replied: １２月８〜じゃなかったの？ I want to ask if she is busy on 12/16 in casual speech. My guess is either: １２月１６日はダメ？？ or １６日は無理？？ Can I use ダメ in this case? I have heard it used this way before.

    Mail from a friend I wanted to make sure my friend in Nagoya was OK on the count of the typhoon that recently hit there, so I sent her an e-mail. She responded: 私ゎ大丈夫 だけどニュースみてると亡くなった人多いみたい 今の台風ゎ名古屋市でもいっぱぃ雨降ったからね もういないけど I want to say back to her something like "It is good (I am glad) your ok, but it is terrible news hearing people have died.." I'm thinking of saying back to her: そうか （○○は大丈夫だって）よかった。 だけど、ニュースはとても大変ね。 Should I include the part in the parentheses? Or say it differently all together?

    Question about the use of 先生 I wrote a letter to one of my past Japanese teachers I had about 3-4 years ago. He is still a teacher, but not my teacher. Since he is still teaching, would it still be appropriate for me to refer to him as ○○先生？I have been curious about this for a long time, so any help with this would be appreciated!I forgot to mention that he only helped me with Japanese, but he teaches English at a college now. If that information matters..

    Thank you very much for your help (^_^)/ May I also ask, is there a difference between みなさん(all in Hiragana) and 皆さん (using the kanji for 皆)? or do they both have the same meaning in my situation?

    E-mail to teacher... I want to know if I messed up in an e-mail I recently sent to one of my teachers in Japan. I told my teacher that I am going to Japan later this year to visit my friends and that I would also like to get together with him too. One of the things he said was: 日本にきて会ってくれると、みんなうれしいです。どうか ここにきてください。みんな待っています。 I wasn't sure what he meant by みんな..my only guess is that he meant himself and my friends. So I replied at the end of my e-mail: 日本に行って、また皆さんに会えることをとても楽しみにしています。 I used 皆さん because I am talking to a teacher.. Am I correct by using 皆さん for my reply?
