Yuta Watson
Hithere Hi there. My name's Yuta. I've just signed in itaiki yesterday. I don't really know what to do here. I'd like to make friends here if it's possible. I'm not quit sure whether I can improve my English here thou so give me some advise. For Japanese, It's almost impossible to pronounce in English perfectly because Japanese hasn't got many sounds as others but I'll give it a shot. Some say that all i need to do is copy what native speaker say and phrases. Also I'd like to learn slang of English as well as formal English. Formal English is sometimes too boring for me or everyone. Thank you for reading it. Cheers.

<em>[The English you have already is quite good.  Just minor corrections.  Note: 'advise' is the verb meaning to give 'advice'.  'Advice' is the noun.  Remember to understand slang, but don't try to use it yourself.  I'll give you one piece of slang: </em>

<em>If you give something 'the whole nine yards', it means that you give it everything you could possibly give.  "My new phone has every app you could think of - it has the whole nine yards."  It comes from the fact that the machine guns of the old fighter planes of the U.S. had standard ammunition belts which were exactly 9 yards (8 1/2 meters) long.  Therefore, if a pilot had shot all his ammunition in a fight, he had done everything he could possibly do - he had given it 'the whole nine yards'.]</em>
