  • Hello everyone. I have a question about the following paragraph. Are the words "onwards" and "confusing" used correctly? "In the cartoon show, the protagonist's shadow became more transparent in Season 2 onwards. One of the reasons is due to some people confusing it as a shirt or pants." I've never used "onwards" and as far"confusing" I've only used it with the word "with".

  • Do these sentences sound natural? "We visited Upopoy(National Ainu Museum and Park) in the evening to see the drone light show performed by illuminated, synchronized, and choreographed 300 drones. I was excited to watch they arranged themselves into various aerial formations like animals. I especially liked when they arranged themselves into the form of "Blakiston's fish owl " which is regarded one of the most important Kamuy(a spiritual or divine being in Ainu mythology). The 7 minutes show was really cool. It went by so fast. The illumination and the light up of Chise(Ainu's traditional house) were also beautiful. We have an annual pass so we are regular of this museum. That enables us to enjoy it in many ways and we can visit it whenever it holds interesting events. No matter how many times I visit it, I never get tired of it."
