Oh, we talk about whether our hair is "硬い" or "柔らかい" a lot! ^^
”硬い髪" doesn't need to be scratchy, but is kind of thick and looks heavy.
We have black hair, so most of us have "stiff hair".
Many of us envy people who have "soft hair"!

I appreciate you answering all my questions! And your explanation is realy understandable.^^

I have another question.
How do you say "硬い髪" in English?
”柔らかい髪” must be "soft hair". Then "硬い髪” is "hard hair"?
It's really good that you understand both English and Japanese!^^

Hi Ana!
I have some questions about English.

1. Is it common to say "Hang the laundry out"? It's not "Hang out the laundry"?
2. I'd like to know the difference between two words.
trash and garbage / scarf and muffler / pare and peel
3. When my room is messy. Someone says "Tidy your room" or " Straighten up your room".
Which is more common?

I'd be happy if you'd answer me when you have time!^^

Hi Ana!
I came across a new expression "to the moon and back".
How should I use it? Is it a common one?
"I enjoy talking with you to the moon and back" would be okay?

Thanks, Ana! I got the idea of spiky hair. It's like Beckham's.^^
I might need to ask you questions time and again, as I'll keep using the textbook!
I'd be happy if you'd help me~^^

2018/03/13 08:23:05

Thank you, Ana!
Then the book is totally usable. ^^

There's also a sentence;
These shoe don't fit me.
I think it should be "shoes" instead of "shoe",
so I became suspicious about other sentences too. Lol

How about "spiky hair"?
Is it 硬い髪? Is it okay for long hair?

Hi Ana!
Can I ask you about some English?
Are these sentences below all right?

1. I was rained on. 　　雨でびしょぬれだ。
2. These shoes pinch my feet. 　この靴はきつい。
3. What size shoe do you wear? 　靴のサイズはいくつ？

These are in an English book I use for a Japanese student.
But I've never heard of the expressions like "be rained on", "pinch" for きつい
nor "size shoe".
So I'd like to know if they are correct.^^

Is it difficult for American to find part time jobs?
It's easy for young Japanese to find part time jobs.here.
I was surprised to hear you want to earn money for college.
We Japanese don't earn money for college.
It's a custom for parents to pay for college.
I think we should earn money for college like you do.
What kind of job do you want to do?
I hope you'll find a job which you want to do!

thank you for writing message!
It would be nice if we sometimes talk in English and sometimes talk in Japanese.
so we can both improve the languages.

Do you do any part time jobs?

Thanks for telling me the meaning of "becoming" and how to use it!^^
It was a mistake I used "becoming". I wanted to say that I thought "hot" is used when something or someone is very popular. So a person doesn't have to be handsome. Do you think so too?

Thank you for the translation! My student is coming this afternoon, so I'll tell her the correct one!^^

☆きゃりー☆

2018/01/28 09:43:04

I thought "hot" is used when something or someone is becoming.
So a person doesn't have to be handsome. Is it correct?

Then 世界で最もハンサムな顔１００人 should be "The most attractive 100 men in the world"?

Thanks for telling me the right words for イケメン.^^
Oh, I didn't know "hot" is used in the situation!

Talking about "handsome", we used to say ハンサム for hot men.
But it's very old fashion now.
If people use "handsome" in Japanese, that means they are very old. Lol

☆きゃりー☆

2018/01/25 16:32:18

Oh, so the meaning of "cool" is reliable in English.
Is there also the meaning of handsome? I used "cool" as handsome or イケメン.
How do you say イケメン in English?

う～んとね。どうやって伝えるかというと、機械を使ってなの。
少しの手の動きとかで、自分で文字が選べるのよ。
時間がかかるけど、そうやって思いを文字にして、画面に打ち出すのよ。

すごいね！中級後半ってことは日常会話がほぼ完ぺきということね。
ほんとに日常的な会話、自然にできてるもんね。＾＾

日常的な会話の理解って、日本人の会話ってこと？それはむずかしいよね。
私が英語の映画を観て、会話が聞き取りにくいのと一緒ね。
ネイティブ同士の会話は早いし、言葉も省略したりして分かりづらいよね。

それにしても増々日本語に磨きがかかるね！
もともとは独学で勉強していたところがまたすごい！(*^。^*)
