I must admit, though, that some of us native speakers make that mistake with the verb 留学する for some reason. I think they mistakenly put the emphasis on the "study" part rather than the "go" part.

The point that I wanted to make is that we often omit the "yes/no" part in answering yes/no questions. We answer them by simply repeating the predicate parts of the questions. This is very important and you have probably noticed it from watching dramas.
Ｑ： あの人知ってる？
Ａ： 知ってる。
Ａ： 知らない。
Ｑ： 日本語できるの？
Ａ： できる。
Ａ： できない。

ああ、そうですか。 もう知っていたかもしれないけれ ども、忘れちゃったと思います。
I only started watching dramas 2 weeks ago, and last week didn't count because I had to study for a test and really only watched over and over the first episodes. As I'm picking vocabulary from the subtitles I have to watch them several times to stay in my long term memory.
I feel that my listening skills improved greatly since I started watching dramas! By the way the drama I'm watching is "Mother", with 松雪泰子. It's great because I can understand a lot of what's being said, since the main characters are a 35 year old woman and a 5 year old girl.
I think watching dramas will help me a lot. I'm so excited! I love the japanese language so much!
日本に留学できるかしら・・・・自分の目的は日本語の 修士課程を取ることです。 福岡大学で。でもね、日本 語能力試験２級が要ります。ポルトガルは日本語ができ る人が少ない、だから、仕事を見つけることって容易か もしれません。

「明日は雨かしら。」
「あっ、電話だっ。誰かしら。」
お昼＝お昼ごはん。 って＝は。
lol I just answered that above. It's the colloquial form of は = "as for".

1 - I wonder what we'll have for lunch.
2 - There's 2 movies I want to see, (I wonder) which one should I see...
3 - I wonder if Tanaka-san doesn't like me..
4 - I wonder if tomorrow will rain...
5 - I wonder who it is...
I think I got it now

「実際」って「実は」のようですよね。
その文で何か特別な文法がるのですか。
「そうだとしても」
I can't undertand と and しても, I mean I get the idea, but can't fully understand it nor explain it if someone asked me to.

そうなのですか。いいわよね！
あのう・・・「さ」のし方を教えてください。
例えば
－ 奈緒ねえに結婚式の招待状出したんだけどさ。
I think the translation would be something like this:
Her invitation arrived but (she will not come)...
－ 私達就活終わったしさ…。
Hmm, I get the idea but don't really know how to tranlate. I hate to translate from japanese to english -_-, fortunately in my tests I have to the exactly the opposite.
手伝ってくださってありがとうございました。もうすぐ 新しい質問すると思います。
じゃあ、お願いします。
