How is this short paragraph.

はじめまして
私はJREF。COMのDamicciです。 どうぞよろしくお願いします。
六月ほど日本語を勉強します。 まだまだ日本語を話す事が下手ですよ。
今私はアメリカに入ります。 一週間に東京へ行きます。
二週間ほど東京で入るって私は帰ります。

I used this to introduce myself on the Mayukosplace.com forums.
 

Good effort!

"まったしつもんです"

"まった" is a colloquial form of "wait!"

Once again is また.

"六月ほど日本語を勉強します。"

六月 = month of June. 6 months is "Rokkagetsu."

勉強します = is "I study" or "I intend to study" "I have been studying" is "勉強shite imasu"


I want to continue but I have to go back to work and look at some contracts now, so I'll look at the rest a bit later.
 
Crap maybe I need to take a break form studying.
I forgot about that gatsu and getsu
but my jp friend used matta ne so i figured it was the same.
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT BE OFFENDED BY THIS QUOTE. SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS OFFENSIVE IN ENGLISH AND I HAVE EXPLAINED TO HER NOT TO USE THE WORD "@#$GET" AS IT CAN BE DEEMED AS OFFENSIVE


I am forgetting verb tense bah I need a break.
 


Here I go again.

今私はアメリカに入ります

You're saying you're entering the United States now. To say you're living in America, "今, 私はアメリカにsunde imasu."

Or to say "I am in America" would be "今, 私はアメリカに imasu."

一週間に東京へ行きます

If you want to say you're going to Tokyo in a week, how about
"Ato 一週間 de 東京へ行きます"

二週間ほど東京で入るって私は帰ります

I would say "二週間ほど東京に ite, sorekara 帰ります"

入る = to enter (hairu)

Hope that helps.

I didn't check the rest of it....but I think these are the most natural ways to say you'll be there two weeks.

[2週間東京に行っている」「2週間東京に行って来 る]
 
Konnichiwa Mina-san!

「私はJREF。COMのDamicciです」
"JREF.COM" is good

六月ほど日本語を勉強します
Leroy_Brown-san is right! 「六ヶ月ほど日本語を勉強しています」 is good.

今私はアメリカに入ります
You're saying you're entering the United States now, Yes, 「今、 私はアメリカに住んでいます」 is good. But if you have never lived in a foreign country before, you should say only 「私はアメリカに住んでいます」.

一週間に東京へ行きます
Yes, 「あと一週間で東京へ行きます」 is good.

二週間ほど東京で入るって私は帰ります
Yes, 「二週間ほど東京にいて、それから帰ります」or 「2週間東京に行って来る」 are good. And 「二週間ほど東京に滞在する予定です」 is good too!

about 「まったね~」
This greeting word is a transformational word of 「また/again」。 In this case you can say 「またね~」 or 「まったね~」. Both of them are not mistake, but usually you can not say 「まった」.
And 「まつ/wait」 can say 「まった」 as an imperative sentence or interrogative sentence. But 「また/again」 and 「まつ/wait」 are different words.

NANGI
 
Ok wow thats a lot of mistakes I made.
I thought it was weird she used mattane but i'll stick to using mata then, it just had me second guessing whether i was using the right term.
I thought iru was a root for iru i keep getting those mixed up.

Quote:
一週間に東京へ行きます


Yes, 「あと一週間で東京へ行きます」 is good.
I can never remember if ni or de is used to say "in X amount of Y" XY間に。。。

Thanks for all the help.
 
1週間後には日本へ行きます。 should also work. 29日3月~4日4月、私も日本に行く予定です。 もうすぐ日本ですね。楽しみだね。
 
Damicci & Elizabeth,

Enjoy Japan! Hope you make the most of your stay!

I'm a little sad that Damicci is a bit early for the cherry blossom season (weather forecast has the blossoms expected from March 28 or so) but hope that the weather will be great!!

A bit of information for Elizabeth: Write your date from the month first
3月29日~4月4日

Damicci: Don't forget the info Nagashima-san gave you for great eats!

Anyway, have a lot of fun!!
 
Oh, yeah, that just slipped my mind.... Thanks epigene-san ! Although my luck seems to have improved suddenly, with this bit of news that will make it concur exactly with opening of cherry blossom week. Is there an area of the city that you recommend in particular ? I'll be staying around 井の頭公園。 この季節、木々はもう青々としていましたか?

A quick view of what you can see in the part of Tokyo you're going to stay (my part of the city, too):

Cherry blossoms in Seijo Gakuen, Setagaya-ku

View on the Nogawa River

Cherry blossoms lit up at night on the Nogawa

Jindai-ji Temple (next to Jindai Botanical Park) in April when the "snow white" (なんじゃもんじゃの木) was in bloom.
It's the prettiest time of the year (unless you have pollen allergy)!
 
A cherry tree of Kinutakoen of Setagaya is beautiful.

Recommending it in Tokyo || "Yasukuni shrine" and "a plover deep water."
In addition, a petal of a cherry tree scattered to a moat of the Imperial Palace is emotional.

It is Shibakoen that going to see cherry blossoms at night is beautiful.
Contrast with Tokyo Tower is good.
I went for sightseeing after having worked overtime.

永島さんの日本語の書き込みが聞こえるようです!

何度もいいますが、英語も面白い!
私の写真は近所限定でした!
 
Very nice pictures. All my sakura pictures are garbage. None of them are at night, and most of them are at the very nasty Meguro-gawa... which I think is actually a sewer.
 
Yes, thanks to both of you for such a spectacular virtual tour. I almost wish I were there now even if only the plum trues were in blossom. I will consider all of those places, especially Yasukuni, where I've never been, in addition to 小石川語楽園 and the cherry lane in 谷中 which are also both off the beaten path and very nice party destinations.

それら写真はすごいです。
I can't wait to go.
I will be printing out all the info Nagashimasan gave for good dining.
I hope we have alot of fun on our trips Elizebeth先輩。
 
Sumida River and Ueno Park are hanami places if you like partying and drinking.

No place for non-drinking "obasan" like me!
 

There is cow tongue specialty store "一心ITTUSHIN" which is delicious in the side of Koishikawa.

Sumida and Ueno must be popular for company parties....the ones where advance scouts are sent out to duke it out for the most coveted views. Around Inokashira apparently putting a blanket down and leaving it there counts as a reservation. There's no expectation of it being tampered with. That absolutely amazed me the first time I heard it !
 


THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
