I did not know it is that expensive to learn English on the site, I was supposed to work there sometime last year but I innocuously delayed my registration when I checked back later this year, they said Nigerians are no longer allowed to teach on the site since most Nigeria have issues with their internet connections.

Are you saying there are schools in Japan where you can learn English for free, but you cannot be allowed to learn for free because you are married to a foreigner?

Oh! Really?
Sorry
Connect internet have many issues in Nigeria? Very expensive?
My husband always told me expensive.
That's why not easy to contact me when he is stay in Nigeria.

About 7,000yen is not so cheap.
But what I read about that application is anytime can learn.
So I think not so expensive.
But if someone don't have time,maybe use that application only once or twice of a month, then I think expensive.

Sorry, my husband said if I join to English school, wasting my money.
Because he said I'm married with foreigner(my husband) who can speak, read and write English.
So I can learn English free from him.

Petyr1:
yeah that is true but even though it a disaster country the government over there knows how to recover and put the country back to normal condition. You guys are the best

About going to the snow festival, can't you create a time for it?

I think past experience is making Japan to know how to recover, what to do etc.
But some peoples never appreciate.
Complain like not quick recover, why take too long time etc.

Hokkaido is very far from my area and not cheap if I go there.
Even Okinawa too.

No problem, all you will have to do is put more effort and before you know it, you will notice you've developed mastery of the English language. Since you have the zeal to know it, that's all that matters now.

I read about foreigner woman speaking pidgin English on culture section, if I'm not misunderstanding, she got attack because of pidgin English.
If foreigners speaking pidgin English to Nigerian peoples, is it disrespect Nigerian peoples? Rude?

Petyr1:

I said something strange?
Many many times I don't understand English well.
So maybe my reply is strange?

No, it is not considered disrespectful when you speak pidgin as a foreigner. Some will like you for that while others may not. There's this video I saw recently on twitter of a white lady speaking pidgin and a little Igbo. Most comments from Nigerians show they like what she's doing.

Petyr1:

Oh! Ok!
I'm glad, I didn't say strange things.

Just funny to you?
I maybe made you laugh?!

I learned a lot from you again.
I understand now!
Thank you so much!
I really really appreciate you!!

Same video?
I saw it on this website. Culture section.
Only few peoples don't like it?

Pidgin English is only for friends or family?
I mean peoples can speak pidgin English to elders?
If speak pidgin English to elders also not disrespect or rude?

If the elderly person does not understand your native language, to avoid a situation why you won't understand each other, pidgin will make communication easier. It is not considered rude to communicate with an elder person in pidgin English.

Nigeria is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world, with over 500 languages spoken. The official language is English, but it is spoken less frequently in rural areas and amongst people with lower education levels.

Imagine Lagos that has over 10 million people living there with all the ethnic groups represented, do I have to learn the whole languages before I can talk to others? That's where the pidgin English comes in handy. I can communicate with anyone and they will understand what am saying despite the cultural difference.

Thank you so much!

Like Japan, Ohayo and Ohayo gozaimasu meaning good morning.
Both words same meaning but Ohayo is casual than Ohayo gozaimasu.
I can't say Ohayo to someone who is not close to me, elders, my boss etc.

So I wanted to know if pidgin English is like that or not.

Pidgin has no such rule. You relate with people same way. In yoruba for instance, you don't use some word for an elderly person. But in pidgin you can. Rules of past does not apply too.

For example if I want to say
Are you back? In pidgin I will say.
You don come? Don pronounce done.
Have you eaten in pidgin will be You don chop?
What's up can be wetin dey or wetin dey happen?
And so on.

How's music like in Japan?
I did a course in school here and in one of the courses I did then we examined Gagaku Music. Although it was mostly theory. I will like to know how the music is performed.

Pidgin English is seems like very difficult to me.
I'm already confusing!
But very interesting.

Don is not Don't?
You don come is like You don't come.

I don't really remember if I learned about Gagaku in school.
I was really don't like study when I was a student
My image about Gagaku is Shrine.

In elementary school, we learn pianica.
English say melodica?
Every kids have(buy) it and learn how to play.
This is 1st year student.

My generation even learned harmonica.

After we learn recorder. I forgot which grade start learning recorder.
This is also every kids have it and learn how to play.

When go to junior high school, we learn alto recorder.
This is also every kids have it.
But music class is not everyday.
Once or twice of a week.

My high school, music is elective.
Music, Art or Calligraphy.
I chose art. So I didn't learn music in high school.

Many type of musical instruments in school. Even in kindergarten and nursery school.
Piano, drum, xylophone, glockenspiel, triangle, cymbal etc.
I forgot when we learn castanets.
Before elementary school or in elementary school.

I don't think I learned how to play Gagaku's musical instruments.
Did you learn how to play Gagaku musical instruments?

In pidgin,

You don come means you have come.
If you want to say you don't or you didn't come, you will say you never come.

Music in school from nursery and primary is quite similar but it's not all schools that create avenue for music learning. Recorder playing is the major instrument from nursery to primary. But from secondary to the university level other instrument is used.

I studies music from the primary to university level. In one of my the music courses I did "Misic of the World Culture was where we looked at Music of the Japanese. So it was majorly theories, aside from seeing videos of how it was performed we never get to perform it unlike when it was time for music of other continent who have similar musical styles as Nigeria. We perform such music as they do in their country.

Wow!!
Amazing!!

Primary is elementary school?
You learned music till university?
Are you still doing? playing? music now?

One of my friend, she started play piano when she was kindergarten student.
She even thought go to university of music.
But she doesn't go.

She loves playing piano.
Now she is married and has 2 daughters.
She has electronic piano now.
Her daughters are also learned piano.

When she listened music, she can play that music.
Really amazing!
When we were kids, sometimes she taught me how to play piano!

In Nigeria, there have some test about music?
In Japan, here have recorder test, sing test etc. But that is during class and small test.
Real test is paper test.

I'm very surprised about Gagaku!
Nigeria and Japan is very far.
But some peoples learn about Japan!
I'm really happy

Thank you for sharing with me!
I really appreciate you!

I'm sorry for disturbing you over and over again.
Please I want you to teach me about something again.
I'm really sorry.

I'm thinking about writing diary on this website since I saw diary section.
But I'm not Nigerian person.
And I saw many comments who hate Japan, Japanese or Asians.

Everybody who gave me advice are very very kind and gentle to me.
I really appreciate everybody.

But I'm worry about if I write diary, I will make peoples feel bad?
I will be rude to Nigerian peoples?

I wanna write diary is because for my English and I wanna share about my life in Japan.
Like how much is food around my house, what kind of Japanese I met etc.
And writing English is my English lesson.

But if that is rude, I really don't wanna do that.
Please if I write, is it rude?

peacefull:


Oga
How far? (Am I correct how to write?

Lol that's correct.

peacefull:

Thank you so much for taking your time again!
Really helpful.
I really really appreciate you!!

I would try my best to Answer your Questions to the Best of my knowledge

peacefull:

Many peoples don't know what they have and don't wanna appreciate what they have until they lose it.
Some peoples still don't know or don't wanna know after they lose it.
I never ever wanna be like that.
My husband is a good person.
I must always appreciate him.

The World is like a Rubik cube, it is always complicated.
If you find happiness with your partner even with the misunderstanding and all then that's all that matters.
I have said this before and would say it again "I don't Judge people I don't know personally" and that is why I still did not conclude your partner have a family or kids, Everything is being seen as Assumption despite 90% of my thoughts are saying he has a Wife with kids in Nigeria.
If you see him as a Good person and you believe in him then try and improve him.

peacefull:

I know small small Igbo and Yoruba language!
Oga, Amaka, Ese, E kaaro etc.
But I don't know how to write many words.
I wanna try to know some Hausa word now!

Theirs No Harm in learning other things.
But I would advice you to keep up with the English More before you try other Aspect of it.

You can write in the diary section of the website.
Since no one get to comment on it except you.
You can as well use that to correct the opinion most of those you said write negatives about asian/japanese on nairaland. Let the know they were only victim of the negative behaviours of those they met.

Yes, primary is elementary school.
Yes, I did music as a course in the university.
Yea, I still play music. A little of the piano but more of the Violin and Clarinet.
She's been able to develop her intonation, and other skills that made music scoring possible for her.
Yes, in Nigeria we write graded exams on both paper, and practical. And there's a body that set such the Music Society of Nigeria (Muson).

I guess the intention was for us to have a little knowledge of other people's music and culture.

You are welcome.

I tried to talk about his kid again when he came back.
If he had kid, I really really want him to tell me.
My problem is not if he had wife and kid in Nigeria or Japan or any where now.
If he is hiding is problem to me.
But every time he denied. So I must trust him.
I just want him to know and want him to understand that I also have responsibility his kid. His kid is also my kid.
I really really want him to understand it.

I must trust him. I don't wanna doubt him.
But sometimes he told me a lie.
Very very small lie. Very strange to me.
But he never think that is lie.
Even he always said he doesn't say lie and he said he forgot what he said or he told me.
Very funny.
But that's why I'm worry. Very worry.

He maybe really don't have wife and kid.
Anything is ok to me now.
I took long time for thinking like this.
Because I really didn't wanna share him with anybody before.
Of course, I'm not interesting if he had a another woman.
But I don't need to stress myself about him and his woman.

Oh! I have bad mouth!
Sometimes I use my bad mouth.
Like I'm telling him that coming soon my prince will pick me up!
Very gentle, very romantic, loving me so much, caring about me, never mean to me, sweet sweet prince will come and steal me from him!
My prince is not like someone(my husband)

Of course joking!
I like playing.
We laughing together!
He even ask me when my prince will come, sometimes he said I'm mad

I don't like and I don't want any negative feeling or thinking every time control me.
I hate it! That's why I'm always trying to keep my smile and laugh!
No matter how much I have hard time, how much feeling down etc.

I'm so sorry for disturbing you so much.
I really really appreciate you for taking your time for me!!
You are busy now, Please don't get too much stress!
Please always take good care of yourself!

I will continue to learn English!
Thank you for always giving me advice.

I was ban again when I tried to reply you it yesterday. My ban was lifted some minutes ago.
Exactly we all have reasons why we dislike some character or people. Some people dislike because they've had bad experiences in the past when they felt with people from those places.
I believe your dairy will do that, but the only limitation is the fact that no one will be able to correct errors in your post because they can comment. But you can do it this way, look for someone who will read and point out those errors to you.
