Reply to Foreign languages are difficult. Japanese is really difficult for me as well. I really should buy one of those electronic dictionaries.
Right now there is so much that I do not understand when people talk to me.
Oh and right now I am actually living in Nagoya area. I also went to Nara on Friday.
Japan is really beautiful!
Ah really? Andromeda. I have seen it once before. It is an interesting show.
However, I know what you mean. I have the same problem with Japanese dramas sometimes.

Reply to Thank you so much for your help! ^_^
I will be sure to say "its difficult" instead of "no."
I hope you have fun studying abroad as well! Tomorrow I leave for Japan, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to post on Hatena Haiku. But if I can I will! ^_^
Thank you again!

Reply to No problem. I'm glad I can be helpful. You may ask as many questions as you would like. ^_^
Here many people take showers over baths. So a shower is shorter, but more like 15 minutes for most people. It can take longer or shorter too. I've taken a shower within 2 minutes before, but that was quite rushed. However when people take a bath it can be a while, since a bath is considered relaxing and is usually done when there is time to take one. Children also take baths instead of showers usually.
I was wondering is there anything in Japan that is a definte no to do. Like something many foreigners do that is really offensive?
Please tell me. I'm going to Japan on a homestay in a week. I don't want to offend anyone while I'm there.

Reply to Oh that is awsome!
Hm, living in the middle of a field is okay. Though it means there are not that many people who live by us. We have to drive to get anywhere.
Well, usually we eat a lot of bread with everything. Like a bread roll or a sandwich made with bread and meat. An example of a dinner is roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and cooked carrots.
We go food shopping at least once a week. And regular shopping probably twice a week. Honestly we buy way too much.
Happy to be of service!

Reply to lol. I'm not sure if there are that many. That's really neat! When do you plan to study abroad?
What would you like to know about life here? I live in the USA in the city of Chicago countryside.
I actually live in the middle of a corn field, which is kinda the countryside for the midwest of America.

Reply to I'm sure she would be angry if she knew that.
×And, we had lived together before.
○We have lived together before.
Usually it is improper to write "and" to start a sentance. If you are speaking it doesn't matter, but when writing anything it is considered poor grammer, just a note for future reference.
Also say "have" instead of "had", because "had" is used more on possesion items.
Example: I had a dog when I was a child.
Even though "had" is proper to use when past sometimes it just sounds odd.
Also when writing "I am businessman" make sure to put an "a" or "an" before
Example: I am a businessman.
However there is a rule with this. You can never put an "a" in front of a vowel. You must put an "an" in front of a word that starts with a vowel, (a,i,u,e,o). So..
× I ate a animal for dinner.
○ I ate an animal for dinner.
You can use "a" if it is anyword that doesn't start with a vowel. (ex. a cat, a firetruck, a piece of pizza.)

Reply to 分かりました。
I wasn't quite sure which one to use. Usually when I'm not sure I just randomly put "が" but thank you for telling me otherwise. Oh I have a question. How would I ask someone what I should call them? I know it is an odd question, but I really want to know never the less.
じゃあ、分かりまた。全然寝ないと思います。

Reply to ×I am happy in time when it takes for a long time on the phone with the lover.
○I am happy when I talk to my girlfriend on the phone for a long time.
To say "I am happy in time" sounds like your talking about music and being "in time" with the beat. To say "it takes for a long time" also doesn't make sense because you cannot take someone on the phone, but you can talk to them.
"Lover" is also rarely used here. The word implies someone who is there for sex. "Girlfriend" is someone you are dating and sounds better than "lover." Many people I know hate the word "lover."
"We live in a place away for a little while." makes sense, but it is not very clear. Are you living apart from eachother? Before did you live together? Or do you have a long distance relationship? See many things can be taken from that sentance.

Reply to あっ、そうか。ありがとうございます。
So if I have "で" I can still have a "は" after it because it is the topic. Ah the reason I used "鶏" is because it is what a online dictonary said. Thank you for correcting my errors!
Hatestさんはいつがねますか。すごくおそいですね。

No problem, I didn't even realize I did that.
In Japan, what do you like to do for fun?
In America, we go see movies, or go to Starbucks and drink coffee together.
We also go shopping a lot at the mall. Since their are many stores there, we are entertained for hours looking at everthing.

Reply to はい!
And for "Your advice becomes my help." is okay, but it also sounds slightly odd. You can say "Your advice was/is helpful" because this sounds better.
If you need help on anything else, feel free to ask.
I would be glad to help. ^_^

Reply to あっ、ありがとう! 
わっかた。
Ah a quick note on your English.
When you say "It doesn't care even if it is unskilled." It sounds very...odd?
"It" should probabably be changed to "They", since the computer cannot type, but people. Same with the other "it" which should be changed to "you", because you are talking to someone. So it would sound better if it is said like this: "They don't care even if you are unskilled."
The same kinda goes for "They indicate the errors" This sounds too formal, using high languange which not many here use. An easier way of saying that is, "They will tell you what is wrong." It is longer, but it sounds much more normal.
Hopefully that helps!
わかりますか。

I will find out soon though!
I'm staying with a host family, but who my host family is, has not been decided yet.
I leave for Japan on June 13th.
