Good morning, everyone.
Or rather, I suppose it's late afternoon or early nighttime for you, but still.
It's snowing here! It's snowing a lot, actually.
It's been a long time since it snowed in November, and really long since it
snowed this much. Although knowing the local weather here, it'll all melt
away in a couple of days.
Shame, since I love snow.

I do this for Japanese too and it seems to work pretty well.

Don't worry too much about spelling errors. Even if you misspell something
and end up making it into another word, people who are fluent in a language
can correct those errors in their head and figure out what you meant.
And in the worst case when the spelling really does make it hard to tell what
you're trying to say, we can always just ask you to clarify what word you meant.
You can't learn a language without making a lot of mistakes. Believe me, I know.

I'm curious how non-Japanese people make friends with Japanese people in general.
Even over the net, even when you can speak decent Japanese and he can speak decent English,
it seems like making friends is really difficult. I wonder if this is just something westerners
like myself think is a shame or if there are a lot of Japanese people who wish they could
make foreign friends too.
