GENKI I、第11課の練習、II～IV

[Julie.chan]

My usual request: can someone look over my answers and let me know of any mistakes? I've attached them as images; First three images are from my notebook, and the remaining images are scans from corresponding book sections for context.

ありがとうございました。

P261 Ⅱ
A 3)
遊びに大阪に行ったり is understandable, but the order 大阪に遊びに行ったり is more common since 遊びに行く is treated as an idiom.

B)
音楽を聞いたり
(Incidentally, 聴く is often used for "to listen".)

C 5)
日本語について上手になったりしたいです is understandable, but 日本語が上手に（話せるように）なったりしたいです is more natural.

P262 Ⅲ
A 2)
フランス語を勉強したことがあります。

6)
You can also use 授業中 instead of 授業で.

7)
富士山に

P293 Ⅳ
3) 5)
Mexico is メキシコ.

4)
Pizza is ピザ.

5)
ミシガン人 is usually not used since Michigan is not a country. If you want to specify a person from Michigan, ミシガンから来た/出身のアメリカ人 would be used.

7)
日本語の授業や数学の授業 is not wrong, but 日本語や数学の授業 is more simple and natural.

8)
Leonardo DiCaprio and Arnold Schwarzenegger is レオナルド・ディカプリオ and アーノルド・シュワルツェネッガー, respectively. As for proper nouns, you can get the most common transliteration in Japanese Wikiedia (search in English Wikipedia, and then click 日本語 in the Languages section).

アーノルド・シュワルツェネッガー - Wikipedia

9)
RAMMSTEIN is ラムシュタイン.

ありがとうございました。

ありがとう（ございます/ございました） can't be used in advance in Japanese. "Thanks in advance" is equivalent to よろしくお願いします.

 

[Julie.chan]

Wow, that's a lot of mistakes I made! Thank you for the corrections. I'll want to redo some of these later on. Or rather, redo some things similar to them.

 

[Toritoribe]

Oh, no no. Most of my corrections are just typos or tiny points about naturalness. You did quite well especially regarding grammar or sentence constructions.:emoji_thumbsup:
