Because I'm still a beginner for English and writing English is every time useful for me.

In my opinion, the most important thing to learn a foreign language is to recognize its sentence structure by oneself. I believe that it's the best way for a learner to use consciously a foreign language from its grammar.

Sometimes, a person who is learning Japanese asks me what the Japanese particle "に" means. Anytime, when I have taken that kind of questions, I'm worried to answer their questions. On the other hand, I'd like to ask them my questions like what the word "to" means anytime.

I think that it is certainly useful for a beginner of learning a new language to memorize foreign words and phrases. But, if they never recognize the language structure, they cannot use the language as well as they hope.

I know that most people learning Japanese cannot use Japanese particles correctly. Why can't they use Japanese particles correctly? Because they do not recognize the sentence structure of Japanese. For me, they just join Japanese phrases which they have learned from Japanese movies or Anime or something like that.

Then, I thought that what I can do for them and what I should do for teaching Japanese. I think I should do that I can do right now.

For me to explain Japanese is a very effective way of learning English. I want to learn English more and I know that witting English sentences is the best way to improve my English. So, I'd like to explain Japanese sentence structures not only for a Japanese learner but also for me.

I'm a Japanese and am living at the place where is a very local area in Japan. I'm an average person who has no special skills and not extra money. My life is just a struggle for survival...

Well, I'd like to say something like not special, maybe for you but very important for us as a Japanese. It's like this.

We all, as Japanese should start English as soon as we can.

As you know, whole Japanese people already know English. We all have learned English at school so long time. But, we can't speak English, can't write English. Just a moment! Can't we understand English surely? No! but Yes... We already know English but don't know how to use English simply.

In my opinion, we need not a "Shiai (試合)" but some "Shugyo (修行)".

Many Japanese think we don't use English if we can't use English correctly. Why should we use English correctly although we are Japanese? Can we use English perfectly soon? We are always afraid of making mistakes in English although we are Japanese!

By the way, There are many people who want to learn Japanese as their second language. I join on this communities and I often read some sentences written by Japanese learners but those are almost awful. I usually think your sentence is awful in Japanese grammar but your thought is so nice for me.

I'm sad because many Japanese can't show you them different opinions so they are afraid of making mistakes although they have their good thoughts. Please help we! We need some "Shugyo (修行)". Allow mistakes of our English :)

So, every morning in my job, I'm always using my PC to type some words during my working time. Usually I sit my chair, see my PC display, open a web browser and type. I put some words on the web browser.

What words do I type for web-surfing on my PC? Am I working at your working time surely? No, maybe, I'm not best man for my boss...

Thank you for your reading :)

The person I saw at the website wrote his Japanese sentences and many Japanese helped him. He is an American who likes Japanese culture.

The first time when I saw his Japanese sentences, I noticed that he never wrote his sentences by himself. The sentences written by him were just made from only by using the Google Translate.

Then, I told him that he was wrong completely and he promised me that he never use the Google Translate when he wrote his sentences in Japanese language.

What do you think? Am I wrong? :(

Firstly, to think in English is my first goal of learning English. In order to get my first goal, what can I do? What should I do firstly? Should I have a hangout with some native speakers? Is talking and listening the most important thing for thinking in English although I'm a Japanese? I don't know the best way to think in English because I can't think in English enough yet.

In the other side, why can I think in Japanese? In order to think in Japanese, what have I done? Remember myself what I have done. But, I have no idea. I can't explain why I can think in Japanese now.

In my opinion, learning English grammar firstly is the best way to think in English as a foreign learner. Can I think in English without enough knowledge on English grammar even if I already know many English words and phrases? In other words, are there any reasons that to memorize many English words and phrases without enough knowledge on English grammar?

I'd like to hear your different opinions. What do you think of it?
