I am a Jamaican currently doing a Master's degree in International Development in Japan. I have been studying Japanese for about 7 months and seeking to improve my Japanese conversation skills. I would appreciate finding a language partner who would help me improve my Japanese while I help them with English.

    Child care leave in Japan

    I'm on child care leave now.
    In Japan we can usually take child care leave for one year .
    In some company has Some companies have a rule that a member of the company can take 2 -3 years!!
    My sister-in -law had taken child care leave for towtwo years.
    Not only women, but also man men can take child care leave, but. However, there are few man  men who take it. 


    I told this story to a Philipino friend, then and she was very surprised.
    She said "it's too long!".

    I would like to know how about other country. "I would like to know how it is in other countries" is more common.

    Mid-term Exam (中間試験) 明日、日本語の中間試験があります。 授業には元気2の教科書をつかいます。この学期、じゅうらいけいごを勉強しました。敬語は時々紛らわしいので、たくさん勉強しなければいけないんです。 それに、いつも単語が忘れます。 わたしにがんばってね。

    Hey M.K, Since your question has already been answered I wanted to point out a few errors you made. 1) As aus_rich already mentioned, 'study' becomes 'studied' in the past tense. 2) 'in stead' should be one word- 'instead'. 3) 'uncorrect' should be 'incorrect'. 4) We don't usually say 'both two'. It is considered repetitive. 'If both are correct' is the phrase usually used. 5) 'difference of the two' should be 'difference between the two'. If we were discussing three or more things, you would say. "difference among the three", for example. I hope you understand my corrections. Sorry if any of it is above your current level of study. Good luck!

    Please correct my mistakes.< Plans for Golden week>

    Hello,everyone!

    "From last saturday from today , we had holidays called Gollden week in japan."

    To give a better explanation of what Golden Week is, I suggest:

    In Japan, we have a holiday called Golden Week. This year it started on Saturday, April 29, continues today and will end on Friday. 

     

    "Before Goldenweek, I was so busy for my work last week."

    Before the beginning of Golden Week, I had a busy week at work.


    I like to be casually spontaneous, so the only palan plan I made for this Golden Week was to go Kyouto (京都 is usually written as Kyoto in English) city for sightseeing with my new friend at last on Saturday. It was so fun! I was thinking that I wanted to act as guide, but actually he often helped me to show me the way because I have no sense of direction. hahaha.


    We say 本末転倒(ho n ma tu te n to u)in Japanese. This translates to "That was reversing the logical order of things." 
    ahaha.

    My friends had asked me about my plans for Golden Week,
    I originally suspend delayed to decide the decision of which one would I join.
    Finally I decided to join all!

    SO, yesterday,I went to Takayama City for sightseeing.
    Then I went to drunk drink with another some other friends until 3:30am.
    After that I joined another party and played NINTENDO all night long.
    It was too much for me .hahaha.

    Morever, I have to go to have lunch with my junior............I feel sleepy......
    I am busy even busier on Holiday than usual but I love my friends!!

    I am going to hang out in full with my friends :D

    いってきまーす☆
