Yes, they have different meanings.

1-1 is good. But to me, 1-2 doesn't quite make sense. Because if "he wouldn't have listened", that means nothing you say could warn him. So instead, the sentence would become "I didn't try to warn him, he wouldn't have listened to me."

Yes, I don't know what language it comes from... I only knew it because my mom was quite religious when I was young, and it is mentioned in an important Bible story hahaha. I guess going to church all those times finally had a use 🤣

I did it that day too... my friends and I all do it each day. I figured it out, but it took me a looooong time of staring at the screen thinking "????????"
December 21, 2025 at 1:25 AM
That's a good trick. I never thought to check the price on mobile as well 😮

I never would have guessed 🤯 That's cool!

Yes, but I can see how you would hear "corn" instead! I remember my childhood pet dog had to get that cone after going to the vet a few times... he hated it, lol.

I'm glad you liked it! And hahahaha yes, I guess that means I was still young enough to watch and enjoy it 😆

I think you probably mean "cone of shame"? :)

Up... that was a good movie. I remember seeing it at the theater as a kid.

Stay safe! Looks serious 😦

Me too 🥹 I hope the wait isn't too long

Thanks!! I'm waiting for my second flight now. :)

Yes, I liked it a lot! The swimming pool sequence was amazing, there were many other incredible sequences too. Now I want to watch more Chainsaw Man, but there isn't any 😭

Thanks Mell 🥹 I need to keep practicing! I'll be back home in two days, language exchange soon? 👀

その時Cowboy Bebopを見終わって、「また同じ感じのアニメが見たいな」って言って、そして友達にSpace Dandyをおすすめされた。全然違う感じだったけど、それでも良かった😂

いつも言ってる気がしますが、メルさんの感想を楽しみにしてます!

有名かどうかは知らないけど、高校生の時、友達は俺にSpace Dandyを推薦してくれた。ストーリーの内容はもう思い出せないけど、雰囲気が特に気に入った!

そしてOPが大好きで、今もSpotifyでよく聴きます😆 ビバナミダ最高!

Space Dandy... 懐かしい!

Multitasking is hard 🥹 I hope your new strategy works!
November 4, 2025 at 8:44 AM
Yes, I think you're right! It means the years after WW2 where the US took over until a new system could be built / agreed on.
November 2, 2025 at 8:58 AM
All of these seem strange to me, especially F.... I've never heard "I should" used to give advice regarding what someone else should do.

For D, yes. There are much simpler / more normal ways to express these ideas than using "should"....

Yessss of course! Her music is pretty famous, I've never played the "Kingdom Hearts" games but my friends mention her a lot because of that.

I know her from the Evangelion Rebuild movies, especially her song "One Last Kiss"!
October 30, 2025 at 10:00 AM
Kenshi Yonezu and Hikaru Utada.... They really picked the two most impactful artists hahaha

I liked the song! Especially the lyrics. I want to see the movie, but I need to catch up on Chainsaw Man first!
October 29, 2025 at 9:40 AM
そうですか!嬉しい😁 メルさんの感想を楽しみにしています!
October 29, 2025 at 9:34 AM
はい、それが問題点だな…

もしいつか宝くじに当たったら、すこし分けてくれ😆
October 29, 2025 at 9:30 AM
We almost never use "mustn't", "needn't", or "needn't have" in American english. Perhaps they are more common in British english 🤔

I don't even understand the difference between "needn't have" and "didn't need to do" after reading the screenshot 😂 I guess I'd fail the English test hahaha

ある!二回も行った!

父さんの弟の妻は台湾人で、その叔母さんと従姉妹たちと10日の間台湾へ行って遊んだ。それが2016年の春、俺の初めての海外旅行だった。

そしてまた、2018年の夏、俺は3ヶ月の間台湾の台南市のある大学で中国語を勉強した。

台湾は俺が行った一番好きな場所だ。人々は観光客にすっごく優しい、食べ物も豊富で美味しい、楽しめる場所はたくさんある。ああ、また行きたい🥹

まあ、ある意味では読後感が悪かったけど、本自体が良かった。ハッピーエンドか… まあ、曖昧エンドだった、少なくともバッドエンドじゃなかった

読んだら感想を教えてくださいね!!
