I don't use this phrase often, but it's common. The origin is probably when someone is walking on a long journey, and they are unable to...
Hi melinchki, Thanks for your corrections! I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one to do such things^^;)
Your English is so good~ :D I don't think it's a big deal to forget things like this, because it even happens to me sometimes and I'm on...
Hi Kirie 9837, Thanks for your corrections! You also did?
Your English is amazing! Also, that happened to me two weeks ago, and I'm 18. I don't think you have to worry about it :)

Hi again Saburoku, Thanks! Hi Vermilion, Thanks for sharing your ideas. You think No.2 is correct? I see.
I think #2 is correct. Nature includes everything, so it does not make sense to specify which nature. And #1 isn't correct grammatically,...
To answer your question, yes ^^ I chose the singular. It may sound ungrammatical and a bit weird but its really just a saying like "...
Hi Saburoku, Thanks for your corrections and sharing your ideas. You choose No.2? I see. That means you take "Beautiful nature&quo...
I would use sentence No. 1 and take my example sentence. "It seems beautiful places in nature inspire you to speak like a poet."...
I would chose #2...Your English is very good by the way! :D Just a few little spelling errors...

Haha, yes. The Japanese and their cherry blossoms. I've never encountered another culture with such a powerful national symbol.
I think Facebook is a good thing to have. It's good for keeping in touch with people you don't get to see often, and for networking. Othe...
Wow, your English is very fluid and native-like! I hope to get there one day with my Japanese! I'm on Facebook and Twitter. However, I...
Hi Vermilion, Thank you for sharing your ideas and advice. Whenever I write sentences in English, I'm confused what preposition I shoul...
> Come to think of it, I'm really a Japanese! ... This doesn't sound too bad. More natural would be "Come to think of it, I rea...
I'm Japanese. Some people don't like to be corrected their English by Japanese, so I should suggest my thinking to them. Well, I think ...

Most of the time you'll hear/see "Congratulations on..." I'm not entirely sure if using "for" could be considered wro...
"congratulations on" is more common and the only time I can think of using "congratulations for" is when someone says...
I don't think I've ever said "congratulations for." I think congratulations on works much better.
