Hello, I am looking for someone to help me to learn Japanese. I travelled to Japan this year ( 2012 )for first time. Please only contact if genuine to help me learn. I am native English speaker from Australia and can help you with English. I am also very interested in learning Chinese Mandarin and culture. I am very happy to teach English to my Japanese and Chinese language partners/ friends. I will try to help others when I can. Would prefer if you have Skype so can talk and learn pronunciation. Through understanding we can achieve world peace. Thank you.

Ganbarimashitane! Otsukare sama deshita. Let’s practice a lot of phrases tomorrow, too. I can easily imagine you will put a note next to the bed tonight and take notes what comes to you. Mata ashita!

I’m glad to know you did enjoy the lesson with me. Thank you. Your pronunciation is natural, soft, and easy to understand. Let’s learn more Japanese words together! Thanks for sharing with me about your trip in Japan and future itinerary. I’ll do my best to help you improve your Japanese until your future trip. Ganbatte!

    It may change in different countries but in Australia they are both the same meaning however usually a "flat" would be a one story block of units and an apartment would consist of multiple stories, but it depends on the speaker. No right or wrong more a speaking style preference. Hope that helps and confuse. :-)

    In this example "proper" means like a classic example of a gangster, meaning other gangsters may be pretend gangsters but this guy is a proper gangster ie a real gangster to the full meaning of the term in the traditional sense. Hope that helped explain it.

    "They entertain themselves" or they "kept themselves amused" means that the subject found ways to keep themselves from becoming bored. For an example imagine a long car trip with 2 young children. The parent might say when reaching the destination, " they entertained themselves by drawing and colouring in so we had a peaceful journey". ( colour is spelt this way in Australia spelt color in US).

    My hometown

    My hometown is Xinjiang in the northwest of China. In relation to central and eastern China, development is slower, but I love my hometown.
    Xinjiang, is known  for its melons and fruits, also because the temperature difference between day and night, makes the watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes and other fruits so sweet. Xinjiang's other foods are also very good, and even some I have not seen. The names of some foods are a translation of the local people, so I do not know how to translate them into English.
    Xinjiang scenery made me feel proud, I am in Sichuan for university now and last semester when I first came to Sichuan,my classmates in my QQ zone came to see my photos of last year during the summer holiday in the Xinjiang Tianshan Tianchi , they all thought those photos had been photoshopped. 
    Mineral resources in Xinjiang is one of the best in the country, including oil, gas, oil, and the world-famous Hotan jade.
    Some mainlanders say that Xinjiang is not good due to instability and national disunity in the region. However, I can only say that it is a phenomenon on the surface, please see the essence.


    To show you, here is  a photo which I took of the scenery in Xinjiang last year.

     

    Great work!! I want to go there!!!

    Man is incomprehensible

    I talked with my friend on Skype for about 3 hours last night and the topic was of cause, about men :p

    Her story was that she had her a boyfriend and they were together for about one year. They had talked about their marriage and met both parents to tell them that they were dating with a view of marrige.

    But after the few days of the meeting day, her boyfriend told her that he could not marry her, because he did not know if he suits married life or not.
    Then he said he wants to finish the relationship at once and think about it carefully.

    My friend was very shocked and has been suffering so much about it.
    I really cannot understand why he talked about marriage with her and met her parents without making sure he's feeling is ready to marry to her.

     

     

     

     

    Really well written. Keep up the good work! ( All men are not like this :-P )

    My diary 2.24

    I had a quarrel with my mother this morning.
    Then I went to tax office,because I had to file a tax return.
    Then I went to Nagoya station to talk to with my counselor about my study abroad.
    When I came back home, I cooked dinner '' Sobameshi''.
    It was very delicious and I was stuffed.
    I am going to work tomorrow.
    I think do my best!

    I think I should just try to do my best.

    Great work !! You could also write as below which is more flowing.

    After having a quarrel with my mother in the morning I went to the Tax Office to file my tax return. Later I went to the Nagoya Station to talk with my counselor regarding my study abroad. I returned home and cooked a Sobameshi meal which was delicous and left me stuffed. I will go to work tomorrow and do my best.

     

    This is just an example for you of a different style of writing more than a correction. What is Sabameshi? I must try it when I go to Nagoya in April. :-)
