Announcements
I am available every day, and I usually respond within 24 hours.
Hobbies/Travel
I enjoy reading (especially Harry Potter and Haruki Murakami), writing (fiction as well as academic papers), playing piano, playing video games (especially Japanese RPGs), and studying the Japanese language. My favorite country that I have visited is Japan! There are so many amazing things to see in your country!
Message from the instructor
I will be happy to help you produce clear, accurate English compositions while giving you additional information on how English works. I appreciate how difficult it must be for Japanese speakers to learn English, and so I will try my best to help you learn the language's complexities. I pay very close attention to details. In particular, I am sensitive to small nuances in meaning. I have studied some Japanese (although I am still a beginner), so I have an idea how different the two languages are. As a result, I can sometimes see what the original intention was according to Japanese grammar, and I can try to find a natural English equivalent. I am available to correct texts any day. I will be able to correct the text within 24 hours.

    Thank you for your quick answer. I wanted to know whether you could understand what the gunpowder sheet looked like with my explanation.

    Thank you for your quick response. Now I have unferstood what you meant by "reload." You meant removing the magazine and putting in a new magazine. So I should have said, " I have never fired all the rounds 'after pulling the trigger once'."

    Thank you for your quick responce. I am taking about a machine gun. So I think one can fire all the bullets with one trigger. In the first sentence what I meant is that I have never fired the machinegun without getting stuck. I wonder whether "without getting stuck" and "without having to reload" are the same meaning.

    Thank you for your quick responce. I am glad to know the phrase " got stuck." I knew this phrase but could not remember it as I did not get used to using this phrase.

    Thank you for your quick reply. You are right. I talked about multiple applications, so it must be plural.

    Thank you for your quick responce. I am glad you let me know "had" is better to use because it was a past event.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I am happy to know "did the math" was better in this case as I did the specific math.

    Thank you for your advice. Talking about the sentence you pointed me out, I wanted to express that I can't help laughing and worrying (about people who want to gain "like" and their future). Have a nice weekend. Thank you so much. mina053750

    Thank you for your quick responce. You are right. She is "still" in my hospital. I am happy you corrected my mistake: "She has been in hospitalized." This sentence made me wonder which tense I should use, the past tence or the present tense. Now you let me know the correct tense: the present perfect. I am happy with it.
