Could you please help correct anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang! 🙇♂️
And I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreign people
I await your harsh comments!! 💪
By the way,
A is a me.
B is a foreigner.
A: For breakfast on the 24th, I bought a curry-flavored paste to put on bread and I ate it on bread.
B: How was it?
A: So-so. I don't think I'll buy it again.
The ordinary curry bread be sold everywhere in Japan is better.
B: I've had curry bread once and it was better than I thought. Curry and bread go actually well together.
A: Yeah, it's like eating naan with curry.
B: Indeed. What did you have for lunch?
A: I made and ate "肉まん".
B: What's a "肉まん"?
A: A pork bun
B: Oh, OK.
How did you make it?
A: I made the dough with pankcak-mix, then I make a filling with pork and chives or something, put it inside, and steam it in a pan. That's all.
B: Did it make well?
A: Well, I made the dough too thick and and it became hard. But the taste was ok. I used pankcak-mix to make the crust, so it's a little sweet, so maybe kids'll like it better.
B: You like to cook?
A: Well, not really. lol
But sometimes I feel like cooking.
B: I kind of feel you, there are days that cooking is a good stress reliever.
A: Yeah, but it's hard to do it every day
B: Mothers are great!
A: Nowadays, there are more and more single fathers and househusbands and men who do housework, so a person who cooks every day is great.
B: Yeah, certainly.
What was for dinner?
A: I got it from a Japanese bento place called Hotto Motto and I ate it.
B: What's "bento"?
A: Japanese lunch box.
B: Oh, OK! What kind of bento?
A: I think it was "Oyako-don".
B: What's it?
A: Chicken and egg over rice.
B: What does "oyako" mean?
A: The meaning of "oyako" is parents and children. Chickens is the parent and the eggs is the child, that's why "Oyako-don".
B: That sounds a bit cruel. lol
A: Yeah, I guess so, now that I think about it. We should really be grateful for the ingredients.
B: Yeah, right.
What did you eat for dinner?
A: Granola.
B: Oh, there are a lot of people in the U.S. who eat granola. But American ones tend to be sweet.
A: I see. I think Japanese granola is moderately sweet. The sweetness of the fruit stands out.
B: I wanna try some Japanese ones.
A: I wanna try an American one too.
B: Do you want to send it to each other?
Just for granola. haha
A: I wish there aren't shipping fee. lol
But I can send it if you insist. lol
B: I think there's no need to do this much. lol
A: OK. haha
B: What did you have for lunch?
A: I put chicken and beaten egg into "Shin ramen" and ate it.
B: Great, sounds delicious!
What did you have for dinner?
A: 焼き鳥.
B: What's "焼き鳥"?
A: "焼き鳥" is a Japanese specialty where various parts of the chicken are skewered and charbroiled by the chef. They are usually served simply with only salt or dipped into teriyaki like sauces.
B: Ah, "Yakitori"!
It is also called "chicken skewers" or "chicken kebab" in other countries.
A: Oh, I didn't know that.
I'd like to try some "yakitori" from overseas.
What 's it going for?/How much does it cost?
Conversation about three meals aton April 24th, and 25th 2022
Could you please help correct anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
I await your harshlook forward to your constructive comments!!
:) Generally we don't say "harsh comments" but rather "constructive" in this case. Harsh would be if I was just being mean but not helpful.
A is a me.
A: For breakfast on the 24th, I bought a curry-flavored paste to put on bread and I ate it on bread.
It sounds more natural not to clarify that you ate it on bread, it is kind of implied in the sentence
A: So-so.
You could also say, it was "It was just all right" or "meh" (to be casual).
Curry and bread go actually go well together.
B: Indeed.
More naturally, people would say "Yeah".
A: I made the dough with a pankcake-mix, then I make a filling with pork and chives or something, put it inside, and steam it in a pan.
B: Did it makego well?
In U.S. English, they may also say "How did it turn out?"
A: Well, I made the dough too thick and and it became hard.
I used pankcake-mix to make the crust, so it's a little sweet, so maybe kids'll like it better.
B: MThat's why mothers are great!
What wasdid you have for dinner?
A: I got itdinner from a Japanese bento place called Hotto Motto and I ate it.
B: What's is that?
A: The It meaning of "oyako" is parents and children.
CThe chickens is the parent and the eggs is the child, that's why it's called "Oyako-don".
B: Yeah, you're right.
"Yeah, right" can sound a bit sarcastic.
What did you eat for dinner?
I thought B already asked this? Do you mean breakfast?
A: Granola.
And I thought you ate Oyako Don for dinner? :) Granola for dinner would be unusual in western countries
A: I wanna try ansome American ones too.
But I can send it if you insistreally want to.
Insisting is usually a little negative, depending on the context
B: I think ithere's not need to do thiscessary, that's a bit much.

This is more natural
