Dear Desiree, Thank you very much for your useful suggestions. I'll try to avoid long sentences. Best wishes, shida
Thank you for your advice. When my husband and I were on our honeymoon, he showed some tricks to other tourists from Australia at a beer hall in Germany. He didn't, still doesn't, speak English at all, but the tourists really enjoyed his tricks even without words. I thought magic tricks were as great a communication tool as languages.
Thanks for letting me know the famous English quotation. I didn't know that. I googled the quotation, and found it very famous. I could use that when I have a chance to talk about telling lies.
Dear Desiree san Thank you very much for correcting my sentences! Yes, almost always, I am thinking in Japanese first, and I translate to English. As you said, I will try to think in English! Thank you, Yoko
Your words sound profound. Thank you.
Dear Desiree-sensei, Thank you for your great help. shida
Your advice made sense to me. Thanks for your revisions.
Thank you for your explanation of the word, "join." I've learned from you again.
I'm sorry for my belated thank-you message. When I talk about my dream, I'll say "My dream is to ..." Thank you!
Dear Desiree, Thank you for the corrections, and the advice on length of a sentence. I will keep that in mind! io9900
Dear teacher Desiree Thank you so much for your teaching. I learned a lot. I hope to see you next time again soon. Thank you and kind regards, Pasery
I like your correction to the 5th sentence. It expresses my idea more clearly. Thank you :-D
I was a bit disappointed that I found an obvious mistake that I made, that was "attractive," in my composition. I should've paid more attention. I like your correction, from "energy" to "mental energy." Also the corrections in the last sentence made sense. Thank you!
Thank you so much.
Thank you for your advice including tipping. I think I have to try some tipping situations, and I'll get used to it through a lot of mistakes. For the chance to travel abroad, I'll improve my English skills!
