Help the noob please :)

hello again !
I've been doing some writing essays from the genki book and again i need someone to overview it.
I've been using only kanji that i know and my dictionary is google translate (lame, but i have no other options...) so please correct me if i used a word in the worng way (or the wrong word) the essay was to write a letter and describe people.

ハダルさん
お元気ですか。きち(militarry base)はとても気持ち悪くて(disgusting) そうぞうしいです(noisy)。六人は私のへやをすんでいます。私のルームメイト(roommates)はいい人です。三ーコさんは小さくておかしい友達です。毎日話してわらいrます。ビルとリイールはしれいかんです。ビルはちょとういそがしくてとてもtのしいです。はなが大きくてかみがながいです。リイールはきみょうな人です毎朝はやい起きて行きます。時々起きません
しゅまつの前はへやおきれいにします。へやはとてもきたなくてきれいません。毎日いっしょにチマルにいています。仕事はつまらないです。よくテレビゲムをします。
私は三月まえ日本語をべんきょしています。これはおもしろいです。
あなたはいつ家に帰りますか。この週末はきちにたいざいしますか。
からだに気をつけてください

thanks for the help!

Other than typos, the following four lines have obvious grammatical mistakes.

六人は私のへやをすんでいます。
毎朝はやい起きて行きます。
へやはとてもき たなくてきれいません。
私は三月まえ日本語をべんきょしています。
 
Can you please point the mistakes? Cause I'm not that good to point them out yet /;
 
すむ is intransitive. It can't take the object ~を.

You need to change はやい into the adverbial form.

The negative form of きれいです is not きれいません.

三月まえ refers to a point of three months ago (from now), not "from three months ago until now".
 
On the last, are you reading the 三月まえ as みつきまえ for the meaning "three months ago"?

I ask because it may a good place to point out the difference between things like 三月 (さんがつ "March") and 三ヶ月 (さんかげつ "three months").
 
Ah, good point. Yeah, I read it みつきまえ unconsciously, but 三ヶ月 would be better especially for learners because it's not ambiguous.
 
you are very helpful!
I understood fully 2 of my mistakes and i have questions about the other two-
1)what is the adverbial of はやい and how i need to use it? cause from what i've learned so far, a word which describes not specific time reference suppose to be before the verb ( like時々in the sentence- 私は時々コーヒーを飲みます)
2)I got the mistake for using march and not three month (and I admit it's a stupid mistake which i should have known ;] ) but i don't know how to say "for three month I've been..." or i choose to use march so "since march I've been studying Japanese" and sentence like that.

I really appreciate your help! it's really motivating me to keep studying :) Thanks!
