can I put 'that+adverb" before "a + noun"?
I read an article below. Can I put "that" anytime before any adjective?
e.g. it's not that funny a speech.
==================
title: A Big Deal or Big a Deal?
https://www.italki.com/question/212924
Question: "It is not a big deal" is what I learned in school, but in American TV serials "it is not big a deal" appeared many times. So I wonder is the later one grammatically correct? Is it commonly used in daily life?
Answer: The second one is correct if you add "that" to it: "It's not that big a deal"
There's actually an old article on the Examiner website about it. The phrase that is incorrect it "not that big OF a deal" http://www.examiner.com/article/how-big-a-deal-is-that-big-of-a-deal
In terms of use, I'm more likely to say "it's not a big deal" unless I really wanted to emphasize the point, when I'd say "it's not THAT big a deal"

I'm looking for a partner.
I want to learn a language with a video such as YouTube.
How to learn is following.
1. Watch a video in Japanese that you are interested in.
2. While we are watching, you can ask me anytime what you need a explanation about grammar, vocab and so on.
3. You will teach me how you can say 2 in English.
Another day we watch a video in English and switch rolles.
Benefits
We can learn a natural conversational language without boring studying.
You don't have to spend time thinking what you talk about. A free conversation sometimes lacks of topics to talk about.
If you are interested in it, please throw a message to me! Thank you for reading this. Have a nice day :)

Fundamental
I want to make a website quickly but I couldn't understand a website course. I decided to stop coding and do fundamentals. However it doesn't seem helping me make a website of portfolio directly. Then I feel like I was being rushed by myself like reading books don't generate codes to make a website. however this thought was totally wrong. After learning SQL, HTTP, TCP/IP definitely helps me out with my coding a lot.
Don't rush yourself even though something looks like a detour, but it is the fastest way to finish your work.

Job interview
I'm one step closer to work for a new company. I sent E-mail to a company. I could make an appointment. But we have some modification. First to change date to meet. Second to change an interviewer. When in a job interview, i have something to tell them in first place. That is about an occupation. I can do computer program. But i want to be in sales. They most need program engineers so we have to talk a lot about that.

Mean sister
I swallowed a glass of water at a gulp last night. However, it wasn't water. This was thick liquid and tasted awfully awful. It was olive oil. I mistook water for oil. I wanted to cry. Olive oil took over my mouth. Afterward, I wanted to eat something tasty, so I went to Ramen(a kind of Japanese noodle) shop.
Suddenly my phone went off and I checked it out. I received a message that said, "Stupid you mistook". It was from my sister. Malicious means. That's bastard.

holiday
I'm responsible for the two infants. They are my sister's. She asked me to look after them. I said yes. I have to take care of them for 1 week. She said, "I count on you." I went to a park to play with them. One of them said he want to run. I thought they couldn't run fast, but they were so fast. I was out of breath, and said, "Slow down! Don't go far alone". It was a just excuse not to run anymore. I have to go to workout.

What's the difference between Throw a party and Have a party, etc?
We can say...
- throw a party.
- give a party.
- have a party.
- hold a party.
I think "throw", "hold", "give" are used by a host. "have" is used by a host and invited people.
What's the correct answer? Could you please tell me about it exactly!
Thank you!

A baby can learn a language easily than adults?
Babies start speaking in a year old. Is it true that babies acquire a language easily than adults?
I don't think so. Baby listen to conversations of parents for 24 hours 365 days.
We are not enough to listen and write and speak much.
If we study a new language for 1 hour everyday, we use a new language 365 hours.
A baby listen to a new language for 24 × 365 = 8640 hours a year!
