But, hopefully someone is willing to lend some assistance. =) Also, I would be more than happy to assist you in learning/practicing your english if you want. =)

日本のネイティブスピーカーとチャットできるサイトはありますか？ A site where I can chat with other native Japanese. :) Sorry if my Japanese is incorrect.haha.

How do I distinguish between when to use Hiragana (ひらがな), Katakana (カタカナ), and Kanji (漢字)? I understand the differences as it pertains to what they are in relation to the language. But my questions, more so, revolves around my confusion with certain sentences. For example, I might be reading the subtitles in a Japanese show and sometimes it seems like there's a mixture of the three which has me a little confused. Thanks in advance. :)

Memorizing kanji radicals? Which radical position should I use? Lately I have been spending some time learning/memorizing the kanji radicals. My question is, is there a common rule for knowing when to use a specific radical position? By radical position, I am referring to へん (hen), つくり (tsukuri), かんむり (kanmuri), あし (ashi), かまえ (kamae), たれ (tare), and にょう (nyou).

Cuando uso "estuve"? I was talking to a friend in Spanish and, at the time, I was in a rough spot of whether to use "fue" or "era" but then my friend said I should use "estuve". -_____- haha. I didn't know this word even existed. The only one I believe is close to it is "estaba". When is it best to use "estuve"? and what are some other word with this similar type of conjugation? Fue hablando con mi amiga en español y, a el tiempo, fue en un lugar duro de si usar "fue" o "era" pero entonces mi amiga diga deberia usar "estuve". -_____- haha. No sabía esa palabra existió. La única palabra cro que es similar es "Estaba". caundo uso "estuve"? y que son algunas palabras similar a "estuve"? (also, feel free to correct my spanish if it is incorrect. :) )

La diferencia con "e" y "an" en ingles. (Con traducción ingles.) Parte 2 Another example would be: She used an herb to heal the wound. (Un otro ejemplo es: She used an herb to heal the wound.) Words like "username" or "united" start with a spoken "yu" sound.(yoo) That's why we use "a" as the indefinite article with them. (Palabras como "username" o "united" comienzan con un sonido hablado "yu".(yoo) ) In this instance we used "an" even though the word "herb" begins with "h", a consonant. The reason for this is because the "h" is silent. When spoken it sounds as if you are saying, "she used an erb to heal the wound", as if the "h" were never there. The beginning of the word is the spoken vowel "e". So for this reason we use "an". Some of the rules in english grammar don't take writing into account. ( En esta instancia usamos "an" aunque la palabra "herb" comienza con "h", una consonante. La razón es debido a que la "h" es muda. Esto es lo que realmente suena "She used an erb to heal the wound.", como si la letra "h" no estuviera. El principio de la palabra es la vocal hablada "e". Y por eso usamos "an". Algunss de las reglas en la gramática del inglés no tienen en cuenta la escritura.) I hope this helped. Feel free to make corrections where they're need. especially with my spanish I know it's bad. lol. (Espero que esto ayude. No dude corregirme donde sea necesario (o se necesite). :) Pero gracias por leerlo. :) ) *edited + corrections made* Gracias por su ayudar! (:

La diferencia con "e" y "an" en ingles. (Con traducción ingles.) Parte 1 There is usually a lot of confusion between using "a" and "an". Some would say that the rules are to use "a" before a word that begins with a consonant and to use "an" before words that begin with a vowel. (Hay mucha confusion con los articulos "a" y "an" en ingles. Algunos dirían que la regla es usar "a" antes de una palabra que comience por consonante y usar "an" antes de las palabaras que comiencen con una vocal.) for example: ( I saw "a" bug in my room.) or (I'm friends with "an" apple.) (por ejemplo: (I saw "a" bug in my room.) o ("I'm friends with "an" apple.) ) haha. There are some exceptions, which some linguists call the "y-slide". this is where the following word may begin with a "u", which would be our vowel, but we would still use "a" instead of "an. The reason it's called the y-slide is because, when spoken, it makes it seem like the following word begins with a "yu". (Hay algunos excepciones, que algunos linguistas llamar el "y slide". Esto es cuando la palabra siguiente podria comenza con un "u", ante la que, aún siendo vocal se utiliza "a" en lugar de "an". La razón, llamada el "y-slide" es porque, cuando hablamos, pronunciamos la "u" con el sonido "yu". ) for example: I made a username. When spoken, this sounds like " I made a yoo-sername". But it would be incorrect grammar to write "I made an username". (por ejemplo: I made "a" username. Hablado, esto suena como " I made a yoo-sername." Por eso sería gramaticalmente incorrecto escribir "I made an username.") The reason for this is due to the difference between writing and speaking. "An" comes before every word that begins with a "spoken" vowel. I put emphasis on the word spoken because it is the general rule regardless of whether it is written that way or not. (La razón para esto es debido a la diferencia entre lo escrito y lo pronunciado. "An" va antes de las palabras que comienzan con un "sonido" de vocal. Pongo énfasis en la palabra sonido porque la regla general no lo considera.) *edited + corrections made!* Gracias por su ayudar! :)

Puedes explicar la pronombre "Se"? Esta palabra y otro pronombres es mi problema principal con espanol. Leo estos en libros pero no entiendo. Creo que es debido a mi ingles. jaja.
