Starting to practice English again
In fall this year I am planning to study abroad in the States for half a year. But to do so I need to take an English exam in just a few months. In the past I mainly used Italki for language exchange in Japanese but this time around I want to find a partner or two to practice my English and get a feeling for the language again (So if you're up for some German language exchange contact me).
Two years ago when I was still in school my English used to be pretty good but since then I haven't practiced much. On top of that my Japanese studies might have made me forget even more English than I would have normally. Anyways I believe I could improve a lot just by weekly skyping in English. I also started to read a novel that I might tell you about in a future entry (I'm not very far yet and many words are difficult).
The exam/test I mentioned above contains reading and writing as well as listening and speaking. Writing might by far be my weakness (in any language, even German. Maybe I'm just not a good writer). For this text I sometimes needed to think for a long time before coming up with a sentence that satisfied me.
I am very thankful for your corrections. Have a nice day.

A song about「Japanglish」についての歌
I found this song that portrays how Japanese lowanwords from English have a very different pronounciation, so much so that they become unintelligible to english speakers. What do you think about it? Is it accurate?

Not using the verb's 3rd form?
I have noticed that some speakers aren't using the 3rd form of verbs. For example someone would say "should have went" instead of "should have gone". I can think of various reasons like dialects or just speaking habits. But maybe it's neither of that and "Should have went" is actually correct...
Can someone shed some light on this?

Zazen meditation
Zazen is a meditation technique which originated in Japan. The word literally means sitting meditation.
During a Zazen sitting (heh, pun) you sit down, preferably in the lotus position. The hands are resting on the legs. Overall your posture should be relaxed but sturdy. Most sources say that the eyes should be open, but I have heard some people say that they meditate with their eyes closed.
For your mind: Focus on your breathing. Do not think about anything in particular. Whenever a thought arises naturally, you should notice it and then let go of it. This probably sounds easy, but I often get carried away by my thoughts. I think that is called Zatsunen in Japanese.
I used to do Zazen in the morning, but I changed my schedule recently. Now I meditate in the evening for 20 minutes. I want to get better and have longer sessions in the future.

経済学、だいぶ嫌いです
僕は航空宇宙工学を勉強している大学生です。工学なのに第一の学期に経済学があります。その試験は二月一日にあります。講師は、最初から「簡単な試験になります」と言ったけど、過去にもよく乗り換えました。例えば「みんな課題を一つしたら結構」と言いましたが、結局プレゼンテーションをしなければいけなかったです。

Can / Can't: Hearing the difference
It's pretty embarrasing to admit at my advanced level, but sometimes I still have trouble hearing the difference between "can" and "can't", because the t isn't always pronounced very clearly. Most times it's clear from context whether the speaker meant to say "can" or "can't", but other times it's not.
If someone could tell me if there is another way to tell them apart, that I'm not aware of, I'd hugely appreciate it.
