Okay I am in a basic JPN 101 class, I know very little Japanese. I have to make a basic presentation using 20-30 sentences. I would HIGHLY appreciate if someone could quick look at this mess of Japanese I wrote and see if it makes any sense. If what I am trying to write is way above my level PLEASE offer me a simpler solution to the sentence's original intent.
Again, first time doing this so be patient with me please as I know nothing! :)
Here is the layout of what is below. I wrote what I am trying to say in English, then wrote it in Hiragana, then wrote the vocab for words/verbs I had to look up.
Most likely, I found a lot of "incorrect" verbs and words so please let me know which ones I did wrong with the correct word/verb.
Thank you again so much! Any and all help would be appreciated as I am trying really hard to learn this language! :)

Can you not write something using what you have learned in class so far? (When is this due?)

Well, I could use verbs from class but the topic I had to choose was Samuraio Daimyoo...you don't really talk about any of this kind of verb or noun usage haha.

it cant be MUCH simpler than this, I am just trying to strive a bit, but am I going way to far?
Out first draft (which she will most likely change everything in everyone's sentences) is tomorrow, then we got another week to work on it more.



Based on your response, I assume I slaughtered it. lol
