I would also suggest you start with systematic learning of Japanese through text books and instructor led classes as learning randomly is not going to get you anywhere.
Speaking to a Japanese native speaker won't help you much unless you have a foundation in Japanese grammar. This is because Japanese natives don't know how to TEACH Japanese. Even if they know their grammar, it would be totally different to western textbooks. What westerners know as type 1, 2 and 3 verbs are known as Godan(五段)、Kamiichidan(上一段)、Shimoichidan(下一段)、Sagyouhe nkaku(サ行変格) and kagyouhenkaku(カ行変格) in Japanese.
Trust me you do not want a native Japanese trying to explain grammar to you unless they are a qualified instructor.
Anyway, I guess this phrase helps.
わたしにできることがあれば、いつでも声をかけてくだ さい。
If there is anything I can do for you, please ask any time. |
This is correct. My wife tried to teach me but I got confused. I am in school now.
By the way, what did you exchange for the student?
