My family get together!
Feb 19th 2010 10:03
I was so busy that I could'nt write jounrals on Lang-8 this week.
The day before yesterday my wife and dautgher came back home at last!
I went to Narita Airport with my car to pick up them.
I was so glad to know that my 1 year 10 month daughter did'nt forget me. She was very friendly and seemed glad to meet me rather than forgetting me.
My daughter named Mien(美燕, means the beautiful swallow) had learned many Chinese words. She now knows much more Chinese words than me. I have to study it to have conversations with her.
She also speaks Japanese but I think she does'n know she is speaking 2 languages.
They brought so many chinese foods.
We will have chinese foods as dinner for a while.
Finally I'm at home not alone!

I was so glad to know that my 1 year 10 month old daughter did'nt forget me.
She was very friendly and seemed glad to see me rather than forgetting me.("meet" has the meaning of meeting someone for the first time, while if you already know them you use "see")
She now knows many more Chinese words than me.
I have to study it to have conversations with her. ("I have to study in order to have conversations with her" is more natural)
She also speaks Japanese but I think she does'n know she is speaking 2 languages.(in English it sounds a lot better and more natural to put the negative in front of the first verb if there are two verbs. So instead of "I think she doesn't know," it sounds less strange to say "I don't think she knows." It's still right the way you wrote it, though, so you don't have to worry about it too much! Just a tip :D)
They brought so many chinese foods. (Or, "so much Chinese food")
We will have chinese foods for dinner for a while.
Finally I'm at home and not alone!
It's not nice to be alone for a long time.
And of course she wouldn't forget you :)
You made me want to eat some Chinese food, haha
２つ動詞があり、否定したい場合、前の方の動詞を否定形にしたほうが自然だ、という指摘は２回目ですね。（＾＿＾；）
せっかく教わったのに、生かせていませんでした。
とても興味深い指摘です。
日本語で同じ文型で文を作ると
１．彼女が２つの言語を話していると知っているとは、私は思わない。
と
２．彼女が２つの言語を話していることを知らないと、私は思う。
だと、両方ちょっと不自然ですが、どちらかといえば、２の方が自然ですね。
でも日本語の場合一番自然なのはたぶん
彼女は、自分が２つの言語を話していることを知らないと（私は）思う。
でしょうか？
