I must type in both English and Japanese as I can read it and understand it much better than I can form sentences myself. Is this OK? I think the title says "Japanese study. Japanese only corner.Japanese questions and conversation practice."
今私は日本語が少しわかります。
よんでできます、でもかきませんありませんでした。
Can you please respond or ask me a question in Japanese?
 
えーっと、ちなみに「よんでできます、でもかきませんありませんでした」って何を言おうとした文章でしょう?

What do you mean by よんでできます、でもかきませんありませんでした?
I can read but didn't write (until now)?
 

どうもうありがとうございます、

よんでできます、でも(私は)かきません。

Sorry, looking back I see why I messed up. I made it past tense. I was trying to say "I can read japanese much better than I can write it or construct sentences."I mean't to make it present tense.I am taking japanese small steps at a time, learning a little bit each day, slowly moving forward. It is difficult studying too advanced japanese for me. But basic japanese is becoming easier.
 
「かきませんありませんでした」という形は存在しません。否定形の過去形は「かきませんでした」になります。また、「よみます」の可能形は「よんでできます」ではなく「よめます」です。
There doesn't exist forms like かきませんありませんでした. The past negative is かきませんでした. Also, the potential of よみます is not よんでできます but よめます.;-)

I can read Japanese much better than I can write it or construct sentences.
私は日本語を書くより読むほうが得意です。
 

Thank you Toritoribe. I am studying everyday, a little each day. I will keep studying!

Are these correct?

Ashita wa nanji ni asa kimasu ka
明日は何時に朝「あさ」きますか
あしたは何時にでかけ出掛けましょう
At what time tomorrow shall we go out?

In this case, does nanji ni mean "At what time" roughly?

And if I wanted to say something simple like "(I) went to the store."
I know how to say it except the particles 「へ」、and 「に」 seem similiar. Both indicate direction right? Do you have any tips on remembering the two's differences? In these sentences I left out the subject "I' as I'm assuming its implied. (if I already brought it up in a conversation)


いきました。

ありがとうございました!

The order of the words 明日は朝何時に来[き]ますか/明日朝何時に来ますか sounds more natural.

Right.

Both 店に行[い]きました and 店へ行きました are correct. When indicating destination, i.e, when used with verbs like 行く, 来る, 向かう, 帰る, 送る, へ and に are interchangeable in most cases.


BTW, I think this thread is more appropriate for "Learning Japanese" section, if you don't post only/mostly in Japanese.
 
トリトリベテさんは、
ありがとうございました!

Can you please ask me a question in japanese?
日本語の疑いが訊いってください。
これは正しいでしたね。。?
(これは正しいじゃありませんね。。?)
どちら正しいですか?

I don't know the proper verb for to "to ask". To say "Could you ask me a question in japanese?"

Would you use 'no' in this instance as 'japanese question'? Is it possible to string together japanese and question to make it one word? Like 日本語の勉強 or can you not do this with nouns and only verbs? Also if you were to ask a request to make it polite, wouldn't you make the verb a ~te form and add kudasai?
 
There's no テ in my name, and the particle は is not needed for ありがとう.;-)

疑い means "question" in the sense of doubt or suspicion. The translation should be 質問 in that context.

正しい is an i-adjective, so the past form is 正しかったです and the past negative is 正しくありませんでした or 正しくなかったです.

You can use 日本語の質問 but this word can also mean a question regarding Japanese. ~てください is not wrong but ~てくださいませんか/~ていただけませんか is more polite, just like "please do" vs "Could you do". So it's better to use 日本語で質問してくださいませんか/質問していただけませんか.
 
やった! いまその日本語がわかり ました。マックさん, あ りがと うございました! これもわかりま したか? 今日も7時に,本を店で買いました。 日本語の本です。今夏,大学で勉強行います。この本の名前「japanese demistified」です。いいですよ。-あなたを修正するために誰かを求めて 。 ありがとうごうざいました。 ーケビン
 
こんにちはGoldCoinLoverさん!^^
日本語をならっているのを楽しんでいますか?どのぐらい日本語を勉強していますか?
じつは、日本語はとてもむずかしいと思って、六年間日本語をならっているが、まだ上手じゃないです。しかし、一所懸命勉強したら、上手になります。
がんばって!
 
ありがとう、でもまだ日本語はぜんぜん上手じゃありません。私のうちのとなりには大学があります。今月、大学に行きます。
 
こんにちは,へいわさん。Are you from Australia?

Let me correct your Japanese, OK?

You can't say 日本語をならっているのを楽しんでいますか?
Say 日本語の勉強(を)楽しんでいますか instead.


That usage of じつは sounds strange to me. Omit it.

日本語はとてもむずかしいと思います would be better.

And が in ならっているが also sounds strange to me. Say けど instead.

私は,六年間日本語をならっているけど(or いますが)、まだ上手じゃないです
would be better.

The same here. I have learned English for forty years and still make a lot of
mistakes in English. I think it's always hard to master a foreign language.

By the way, have you ever been to Japan, heiwa san?

こんにちは,Kevinさん. (Is your name Kevin?)


Those sentences in Japanese are perfect.

Why are you learning Japanese? Are you going to get a job in Japan?
Or just out of curiosity?

aaa, even my japan language still low, i read this is kind of weird...its too many of "は" i think its better like this...
"ありがとう、でもまだ日本語が少しわかります。家の隣に大学がありますから、今月大学へ行きます。"

you cant said "ぜんぜん" because its mean you dont really know (0 %) about 日本語
using "少し" its better because its mean you can a little (10-20%)
and, if you are using "上手" "わかります" the pair of particle is "が"
and the pair of "行きます" is "へ".

As a native Japanese speaker hirashin-san wrote, that sentence is perfect. There's no error. ぜんぜん上手じゃありません can work as a humble expression even if his Japanese is relatively good, the two は are no problem, and に and へ are interchangeable in this case.
