masterxtreamerr1 san,

Thank you for the comment.
Hiroko is happy to hear from you.


カサンドラさん、
はじめまして。
二十七歳な女です should be二十七歳の女性(じょせい)です.
Native Japanese speakers hardly use just 女 or 男.
I can understandえいやくがよくありません, however, えいやくがじょうずではありません is better.
こちらこそ、よろしくおねがいします。

直してくれてありがとうございます。始めは「二十歳女性です」を書きました.でも、ダメだと思いました。 >。<

I feel like an idiot now, 日本語で何を意味しますか。

今から、もっとがんばるよ。 ^^

カサンドラさん、

今日は。
Don’t worry about mistakes too much.
You are learning so it’s ok if you make mistakes.

By the way, the meaning is ばかみたいです.
However, you are not idiot.
I know you are trying hard to make sentences in Japanese.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. :D

こんにちは!私はヘイリーです。よろしくおねがいします!
私はあめりかんー人です。私はえいごおはなします、と私はにほんごおべんきょおしています。あなたはなにおべんきょおしていますか?

romaji:
Kon'nichiwa! Watashi wa Heirii desu. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu! Watashi wa Amerekan-jin desu. Watashi wa eigo o hanashimasu, to watashi wa nihongo o benkyō shite imasu. Anata wa nani o benkyō shite imasu ka?

English:
Hi! I'm Haily! I'm American. I speak English, and I'm learning Japanese. What are you learning?


I believe this is correct. Is it?

That should be アメリカ (amerika) making it アメリカ人 (amerika-jin). It's just the name of the country folllowed by 人 (jin).

私はあめりかんー人です。私はえいごおはなします、と私はにほんごおべんきょおしています。あなたはなにおべんきょおしていますか?

The topic-marker は marks the topic of the phrase or sentence, which is not the same as the subject. Basically it announces what you're going to talk about, and once you've established your topic you don't need to repeat it. In this case you've established that your topic is 私, so you don't need to say 私は again--at least, not unless the topic changes and you need to change it back to 私.

私はあめりかんー人です。私はえいごはなします、と私はにほんごおべんきょおしています。あなたはなにおべんきょおしていますか?

This should be を, not お. I suspect this one is just a typo, though.

私はあめりかんー人です。私はえいごおはなします、と私はにほんごおべんきょおしています。あなたはなにおべんきょおしていますか?

と doesn't mean "and". Well, all right, yes it does. But if you've got an English sentence that says "something, something and something, something", that "and" is hardly ever going to be と after you translate it into Japanese. One way you could handle this is to simply make it into two sentences.

Hope that helps!

マイケル

ヘイリーさん、
こんにちは。
こちらこそ、よろしくおねがいします。
One thing, native Japanese speakers hardly use あなた.
The functions of you and あなたare different.
When あなた is used, people got angry and don’t call others’ name at all or wives and husbands addressing each other.

マイケルさん、
どうもありがとうございます。
