Jamesfeicinmay69 san,

Konnichiwa.
Kochirakoso yoroshiku onegaishimasu. Your self-introduction is great! :D

Romaji daijoubudesu yo.
However, if you keep studying Japanese, I recommend you to learn letters and characters, too. The reason why is that if you depend on romaji, your pronunciation will be worse and it’s hard to recognise word boundaries.

Ganbatte kudasai. I am cheering for you.

reyvinuy san,
The difference is
なんのくつですか。What is the shoe for?
どんなくつですか。What kind of shoe is it?

こんにちは。はじめまして。私はどすてんです。二十二さいです。背が低いでも美しです。よろしくおねがいします。

Hello! Good to meet you! I'm Dustin. 22 years old. I'm short but good looking! XD

I'm cheating using a Japanese ime with autocorrect. So I type romaji and out comes kana and kanji. Sorry for the lack of kanji or the lack of correct kanji!

どすてんさん、

はじめまして。こちらこそ、よろしくおねがいします。

The sentence背が低いでも美しです。should be背が低いですが、美しいです。
The kanji you used are correct. :D

jonathanhuang6835 san,
こんにちは。
The “wa” at the end must be は because it’s a particle. :D

はじめまして、私はマイカです!四月から日本語をべんきょうします。’から’のつかうははけいかいですか?!
Nice to meet you, I'm Micah! I've been studying Japanese since April. Was 'from' used correctly?!

マイカさん、

はじめまして。よろしくおねがいします。
Yes, you could use “from” correctly :D however, the tense should be ています which you might have not learnt yet.
When べんきょうしますis used, it indicates future tense so that sentence mean I will study Japanese from April.
When you want to say something using present perfect in English, I recommend you to use ています.

チャンノンさん、
はじめまして。こんにちは。Thank you for the post. :D
「いってあまりない」は…? Do you mean “not many people mentioned”?
Do you love でんしゃおこと?
みなさん is a correct word and you don’t need to putん between みand な.
またポストしてください。
