金曜日の英語

Good evening everybody!

Sometimes on Fridays I'll write in English. OK? First, I want to say "I'm sorry" about the bad quality of the photos here. I don't have a good digital camera...
:-( I'm poor lately.

I'm drinking Heartland beer now. Do you like it? I do. The green bottle is beautiful. How about the Heartland Cafe in Roppongi Hills? Have you been there? Do you like it? It gets very crowded in the evenings, doesn't it?

Do you want some English advice?

Here's one point: many of my Japanese friends make a (little) mistake when using "almost". I think they are translating "ほとんど", for example "ほとんど日本人の女性はかわいいです。" And my friends say, "Almost Japanese ladies are cute."

But remember, if you say "almost", you need another word after it. For example: "almost all", "almost any", "almost every".

So, it is "Almost all Japanese ladies are cute (adorable)." You can also use "most". Then you don't need another word. So, "Most Japanese ladies are cute (adorable)." is OK, too.

やっぱり、日本語のポストより英語のポストのほうが長い。。。（＾－＾）
