Hi 皆さん.. Can the pro Japanese experts here help me with this ? :look:
I'm confused with this.. :s22:

Which expression is correct?
時間が なかったですから。
or
時間が なかったからです。

お願いします。Thanks in advance. :D
Depends on the context of use. Both are correct, but different usage.

そうですか。

Let's say the question is... Answers in brackets is what i think the sentence mean...

Q: どうして宿題をしませんでしたか。

A1: 時間がなかったですから。Does this have a meaning like I have something more to say?? like (宿題をしませんでした.)

A2: 時間がなかったからです。And this have a conclusive meaning. The end fullstop. I only want to say my reason..

Which answer would be more 'correct' in the form of this context? I have a feeling its A1, which sounds more normal to me.. haha..

Thanks in advance again.
本当に ありがとうございます。 =:p

Dear all,
I am conducting a survey on JLPT prep class and need your help to answer a survey

ありがとうございます。

Just filled up your survey. You're conducting JLPT prep classes? I'm currently taking the N1 prep at Ikoma but if you have a better offer (smaller class size etc.) I'll consider it. :o

Japanese learning materials and lessons

If anyone wants to get some cheap and good Japanese learning materials, I suggest you go to Bras Basah Complex. There's a shop at the 3rd level that sells cheap Japanese and even Korean books at very low prices. However, all explanatory notes are in mandarin. I'm currrently giving one-to-one Japanese tuition at a relatively low rate of fifteen dollars per hour. Please send me a private message if you're interested.

what is the name of the bookshop?
i find its better to learn Japanese through Chinese than English.

If I'm not wrong, the name of the bookshop is called Maha Yu Yi Pte Ltd
友谊企业有限公司.

Check out the following link for more cheap books.

あの、ちょっとたかいですね~ T.T
結局、自分の将来ですから、自分で決めてください。
最近、私は面接官として、日本語を話せない人を認めませんでした。2級を受かった人なのに、話せない。。残念です。
どうして日本語を勉強してきているか、覚えてますか。
