Let's practice! Like the "whoosh!" of a wave, Japanese and English have many sound/action words. I'll post one new word every day then do your part!
脳トレ：２つの文章を作りましょう。まず、今日の単語を使った日本語の文章を作ってみて下さい。そして、２つ目の文章は英語の訳です。更に、他のメンバーの書いた文章も直してみて下さい。
Brain exercises: Post two sentences. For the first, make a sentence in Japanese using the word. For the second, give the English equivalent of your first sentence. Take a moment to correct or comment on others' sentences, too!

>>動くんじゃないぞ。きゃあきゃあするな！（大どろぼうが言う）
この状況では「きゃあきゃあ」は使えないと思います。
「動くんじゃないぞ。ぎゃあぎゃあ騒ぐな！」なんかがいいと思います。
「きゃあきゃあ」はもっと楽しいとき、うれしいときに使われると思います。例えば、
映画俳優を見て女の子たちがきゃあきゃあ騒いでいる。
Coming across a movie star, girls are squaling.
>>アメリカ人は皆英語で話すけど、まちまち（な？）話し方をする。
「…、まちまちな話し方…」ですね！
>16 めきめき
I'm going to try めきめき！
あなたの料理の腕はめきめき上達している。
Your cooking skill is making remarkable progress.
Your cooking skill is conspicuously improving.
Are both sentences OK?
「めきめき」はほとんどの場合、何かが「上達する」や「向上する」場合に使われますね。

Thanks for your corrections! So helpful.

Perfect.

Not wrong - totally understandable and gramamatically correct, but a little odd sounding.
I use conspicuous like this:
Let's try not to be too conspicuous at the party (said by one undercover cop to another)
In Japan, people try not to be too conspicuous for fear that they will be disliked if they stand out.
Please place your nametag in a conspicuous place.
Other ways to say the same thing:
Wow, your cooking is getting remarkably better.
Wow, your cooking is noticably better.

I felt the same. I felt it's a bit formal for daily conversation to use "conspicuously improving". I'd rather say,
"Your cooking is going well all the time."
Hmm it's more like "あなたの料理はどんどん上手くなってるね" I think "meki meki" and "don don" has same kind of meaning thou.
「どんどん」
雨がどんどん降ってきた
The rain is getting harder.
幸せなら足をどんどんしよっ♪
If you happy and you know it stamp your feet♪
What do you say?

I was taught that Don Don means "rapidly" vs. Dan Dan "slowly". Is this right? And I have never thought of Don Don as having anything to do with good or bad, improvement or worsening, so I guess that is why meki meki is different (if it is only used for improvement)? So does meki meki mean don don yoku naru?
