Three new ways to make a request. They differ in the degrees of politeness shown to the person you are asking.
We use the te-form of a verb + いただけませんか to make a polite request. This is more appropriate than ください when you request a favor from a non-peer or from a stranger.
ちょっとてつだっていただけませんか。
The te-form + くれませんか is a request which is roughly equal in the degree of politeness to ください. くれませんか of course comes from the verb くれる. This is probably the form most appropriate in the host-family context.
ちょっとまってくれませんか。
You can use the te-form + ください, or the te-form by itself, to ask for a favor in a very casual way. This is good for speaking with members of your peer group.
それとってくれない? それとって。
Сначала я боялась, что все будут говорить только по-испански и что мне будет трудно общаться.
At first I was afraid that everyone would speak Spanish and that it would be hard for me to communicate. [Adverb/adverbial phrase?] [subject] [verb] [I can't think off the top of my head what part of speech 'that' is and I can't think with this headache and people in my freaking space.
I have a headache, the furnace is out, and maintenance is crawling all over the apartment fixing it. This is not my best morning ever.

Also, I mention as a helpful reminder (since I'm never at my best with logic first thing in the morning) -- heat is good, so kill the noisy disruptive monkeys AFTER they make the magic warm work again. *nods solemnly*
And now I run to work.

I woke up and I actually didn't mind getting out of bed! I didn't need three layers of blankets! It's a MIRACLE!

Of course, I don't like getting UP...but I don't like getting up when it's warm either. XD

I figure that by the time I can manage anything OTHER than walking, my future bedroom will be renovated and I can get my bed off the floor of this room and then I can have one room with the heat vent OPEN and one with it CLOSED.
