Does it mean, you have to be outgoing and have a life-of-the-party kind of personality in order to meet any japanese people? Apparently that's what it seems. The only ones i've met are in english schools and they hate people who are not life-of-theparty types..how can a serious, quiet guy meet any.. and where? I want to meet them because i want to practice japanese or teach something that i may know or just share friendship. So sure i've seen japanese around town, lot s of them in BUS, Walking in streets..etc.. but i'm not the type that will just butt in , while they are walking in the street.. so anything else i could do? I wish more schools would setup some kind of way to meet, so that we people who are not students anymore could meet them. Conversation partner type programs are failing in my case because they advertise american culture, but i'm not your typical american and they are generally disappointed when they meet me( Quiet hispanic american not outgoing and not good speaker

My first language is Japanese and Im trying to perfect my English.

situation is: Naomi wake up at 6:00AM today.
Wich term is the most appropriate under that situation?

1. She woke up early in the morning.
2. She woke up early this morning.

I think the second one is correct.

I guess that (in the morning) ,itself means every morning.
So, (She woke up early in the morning) implies her old habit. and she doesn't wake up early now.

What do you think?

My first language is Japanese.

Is the following term correct??

Did she have to get up early in the morning?

What do you think? something strange.
（In the morning ）　means every moning, so that sentence implies, she had a habit of waking up in the morning in the past.
She doesn't wake up in the morning now.

I think, Did she have to get up early this morning? or Did she have to get up early in the morning yersterday?

What do you think?

Can I say: in the morning yestaday? or yesterday's moning?

I had a vision and during the vision I saw myself as a woman living in a wooden hut in a stony village and I was singing this song.

(I have written this the way the words sound)

Kuramena nara semo
kuramena nara co
Co co la-nee co co ra-mee
Co co ra-mee co co ru

I am very interested to discover if the words or phrases in this song mean anything to anyone any where in the world.

i live near london, if i were to go back in time in the area i am in now, taking in to account the fact that you can sort of understand local dialects and cirtain words from french german and latin as our language is based in these, how far back in time could i go and still be able to get the general idea of what someone's saying and have them understand me?

I think that Bart Simpson recently had to repeatedly write this phrase on the blackboard, in the little beginning part of a recent SIMPSONS episode. LOL.
