Hello! I am an American living in Japan. I have a wife and a rabbit. I am an English teacher at a high school. I want to improve my Japanese and become fluent or advanced. I am also studying Portuguese because I like the sound of the language. I can only occasionally meet online for language exchange, but I can be a penpal. I hope you can help me to improve my Japanese and Portuguese. Thank you!

    鶏のから揚げ (Japanese style fried chicken)

    Could anyone please correct my mistakes in this recipe? I only need help from native English speakers. Thank you!

    Ingredients:
    500g chicken thighs
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 tablespoons sake
    1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
    1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
    A pinch of Salt and pepper
    potato starch (or flour), for coating
    Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

    Directions:

    1. In a bowl, combine chicken, salt, pepper, soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, and massage the chicken gently. Marinate for around 15 minutes.

    2. Heat oil to 170 degrees Celsius.

    3. Drain extra marinade from the chicken. Dredge the chicken in potato starch, and then, pat the excess flour off the chicken.

    4. After putting the flour on the chicken, deep-fry the chicken right away for about 4 to 5 minutes.

    5. Don’t touch the chicken for the first one minute to prevent the flour coating from coming off the chicken.

    6. After one minute, stir the chicken several times. It helps the moisture to evaporate, and it makes the chicken crispy.

    7. Take out the chicken from the oil and drain extra oil.

    Writing assignment: "contrast"

    This is my article that I wrote in a class last week.

    ▼The difference between living in a suburb and downtown.

    Generally speaking, there are the two ways of living according to a resident's needs.
  I'd like to look at some differences between them. The first is about loudness.  As you know, it is always crowded downtown, so if noise is an issue, I advise you not to move there. On the other hand, a suburb is more or less quiet, except around the station.
    The second difference is the convenience. Downtown, there are a variety of shops, from specialty shops to convenience stores.

    When shopping for daily necessities, you are sure to find what you need, because everything is within walking distance.
    Shopping in the suburbs is less convenient, because people usually live further away. To make matters worse, most shops in the suburbs close before night fall dusk.
    The third difference is the cost between the two. If you live in the city, it is more expensive, simply because of the convenience of the location.

    The third difference is about costs. If you want to live in the center of a city, you'll be surprised to know how expensive it costs you is to live even if you live in a far smaller than a room than you live in now because of its conveniently location and popularity.
    That is to say, it's difficult for those who can't afford to pay to live near a downtown.
    On the other hand, a city dweller can't believe other province's rent the rent in other places. Probably, especially for those who don't do so, living in a suburb is to theirs benefit to some extent.
    In conclusion, because each of these ways has its merits and demerits, people can choose a suburb or a downtown depending on their situations and elements that they set a high value on.

    Rikio #1 (la dua de marto) Estis la sesa. La vekhorloĝo de Rikio sonoris. Rikio vekiĝis kaj leviĝis el lia lito. Rikio marŝis al la fenestro de lia dormĉambro kaj rigardis eksteren. Estis sune. "Kia belega tago!" Rikio diris. Rikio iris al la kuirejo fari matenmanĝon. Rikio kutime matenmanĝis frititajn ovojn, rostpanon, lardon kaj tason da kafo. Hodiaŭ ne estis malsame. Rikio matenmanĝis kaj spektis la televidon. Poste li vestiĝis, prenis lian tekon, kaj iris al la tramhaltejo.

    Could you correct this entry for me?

    Dealing With Website Hackers

    Last weekend, one of the most famous websites in Brazil was attacked by hackers, and nobody could access it. I think it´s happened because of the rape in Brazil. <em>(MY COMMENT: I'm confused... was there a famous rape recently in Brazil?)</em>  This is a way to for someone to protest against to the politicians and Brazilian’s problems.

    When one website is attacked, the hackers get access to the server and embed some malicious code to revoke the site's access or to redirect to their own website. Therefore, the security has to be improving improved by encrypting the database and patching any vulnerabilities though to prevent another problem.

    I think this website will never be attacked by hackers again, at least until some creative hacker comes up with a new way to wreak havoc. Therefore, the other's government's websites are not free immune from them.

    一番いい感情 僕にとっては人間感情の中の一番いいのは大成の感情だと思います。重要なことや大したことを大成すると、受ける感情が力強くて壮快ではないでしょう。そんな感情は我々に気合いをいれて、我々が偉いことができます。

    My weekend

    What's up guys? Today I'm going to write about my weekend. My weekend was very low-key, without too much mess. Besides that, I noticed something: my English speaking is better than never before. I'm much more confident when I talk to a foreigner, which is great, because it shows me that I'm getting where I want to be. I'm achivieving my goals. In spite of it this, I'm full of activities I have a lot to do. I'm pretty sure that I'll have a hectic week.

    That's all! Thank you for reading!


    Until next time!
