知りませんでした。　僕はかわいい関西の女性を会った ら、大変です！　関西弁はちょっとしか話せません。

Well, I don't know if it's a good thing, but it's definitely "useful" I think.

はは。　そうかもしれません。

Once I said "sh-t" when I broke something, and
my little Aussie girl friend (she was 7 years old) said

"Oh Mayumi, don't say that! Say "Suger"!"

So since then I try to say suger instead of "sh-t".

"Sh-t" sounds very bad ? Is it inappropriate for me to use?

はい、すごく強くて、悪い言葉です（特に子供はいると きに）。

You should really only use it when with friends or family who don't mind (or by yourself, of course).

"Shoot" is a commonly used alternative (such as saying, "Oh, shoot!"), though I kind of like "sugar." It would be kind of funny to hear someone say that in a situation where they would usually use the other word (which is usually referred to as the "S-word" when you don't want to or can't say it out loud).

I have a question,

Think
You are in Japan, you met a pretty a girl (Japanese), then you asked her out to dinner,
Would you pay everything? or Would you expect for her to pay a little bit?

僕は全部払います。

There are 3 types of girls in Japan
(It's only written in Mayumi's book so I can't guarantee)

その本が読みたいです。　

Type A: expecting boys to pay every single things. It doesn't mean they have no money, but they think they are selling their time to be with the boy, so they simply expect to be paid for it.

Type B: appreciates if the boys pay for it, and they take their purse out of her bag and ask him if he wants her to pay some too at the checking counter(In Japan, we don't usually pay at the table, but the counter near the exit), but deep down, they know or believe that the boy wouldn't say "yes, you pay half of it!", so they are not really going to pay any.

Type C: appreciates if the boys pay for it, but they pay some or half.
It could be depend on how rich the boy is. If the boy have a good job with a good pay, maybe Type C girl pay for the drinks. But if the boy is a student, this girl definitely pay half, even he is from a rich family.

I think 60% of 15-26 years old (sometimes over 27 too) are
type A girls.

Around 22-29 years old, some are changing and becoming Type B.

Basically, Type C girls are always Type C.
10% or less girls are this type.

Did I sound stupid? but this is what I believe.

いいえ、馬鹿じゃありませんでした。

僕もそういうタイプを見たことがあります。　たぶん、 日本だけじゃないと思います。

でも、利己的な男性もいますね。

まゆみ先生のタイプはどれですか？　「Ｃ」だと思いま す。　

ははは。
「まだ　見つかりません。」

あ。　またその間違いをしてしまいました。

すご～い！
私は１６０ｃｍくらいだから　うらやましいです！
きっとみえる世界がちがうんでしょうね！

僕もうらやましいです！　いつも彼女と話すときに、上 に見なければなりません。　ちょっと恥ずかしいです。 　

What?????

読んで、びっくりしました。

まさかそんな話だとは・・・。

すみません。　先に注意したほうがよかった。

もし、二人が運命の二人、なら　いつかきっと　チャン スがあると思います。

僕たちはまだ独身だから、まだチャンスが来るかもしれ ませんけれど、やっぱりたぶん運命の二人じゃありませ ん。　その日からたくさん時間かかりました。

Wow, I am impressed, man!!!
Your Japanese's totally great! I totally understand your love story!

ありがとうございます！　

Now I forgive you haha!

You can be fluent in the near future, I guarantee!

そうですか？　また、ありがとうございます。　僕は本 当に日本語でぺらぺらになったら、まゆみ先生のおかげ です。
