How are you doing tonight?

It's fine. I was busy with my work today. I will have a day off tomorrow but don't have any plans. What do you suggest?

自然な表現

It's fine. I was busy with my work today. I will have a day off tomorrow but don't have any plans. What do you suggest?

1. This is an alternative expression you can use: "propose".
Well, since this is the first time I've met you, I have no idea about what kind of things you are interested in.

Oh, yes. I like reading books when I'm free, and I like staying at a cafe with some novels. I live in the adjacent town, and I don't know about this town much. Do you know any nice cafes around here?

自然な表現

Oh, yes. I like reading books when I'm free, and I like staying at cafes with some novels. I live in the adjacent town, and I don't know about this town much. Do you know any nice cafes around here?

1. You are talking about cafes in general, so the noun needs to be in the plural form.
Oh, there is a book club we host here every Sunday. You can join if you are interested. What kind of cafes do you prefer?

I like natural tasted cafe, for example, surrounded by natures or with a lot of greens. How many people usually do you have in the book club?

自然な表現

I like cafes with a natural atmosphere, for example, surrounded by nature or with a lot of greenery. How many people usually do you have in the book club?

1. This is a better phrase to use in this context.
2. The noun "nature" is an uncountable noun, so the plural form is also "nature".
3. The noun "greenery" means "green foliage, growing plants, or vegetation".
The book club has ten members so far. I like natural cafes too. There is a fabulous one right around the corner. It is called the nest. I recommend you try it out.

It sounds nice. Can I do a trial enrollment to the club before joining officially?

自然な表現

It sounds nice. Can I do a trial enrollment in the club before joining officially?

1. We use the preposition "in" to denote forming a part of something.
Yes, you are more than welcome to do a trial enrollment. I will tell the other members to expect you this coming Sunday. Is that okay with you?

Yes, I'm free this weekend, so let me join the club on trial. I'm happy to experience the club. I'm looking forward to that.

自然な表現

Yes, I'm free this weekend, so let me join the club on a trial basis. I'm happy to experience the club. I'm looking forward to that.

1. The phrase "on a trial basis" means "for a short period of time to try something out".
