Don't quit, Gackt21. If he's referring to the "help"...yeah, leave that alone until you learn quite a bit more yourself, no offense. I took a look at that site, and it's a little...strange. If you can afford it, try to get ahold of some books. You're going to want grammar, an actual coursebook, a dictionary, and just my personal thing since I found it was WAAY easier for me to pick up on hiragana and katakana by writing it and picturing what romaji I was reading in my head as the correct characters (at least as correct as it's going to get without my knowing kanji) - a character workbook.

I'm still learning quite a bit myself, so I can't really HELP perse...but I do feel I can point you in the right direction. Here are some of the books I'm using:

Grammar - Amazon.com: Japanese the Manga Way: An Illustrated Guide to Grammar and Structure: Wayne P. Lammers: Books

Coursebook - Amazon.com: Japanese Coursebook: Basic-Intermediate (LL(R) Complete Basic Courses): Living Language: Books
Amazon.com: Elementary Japanese Vol 1: Yoko Hasegawa: Books

Dictionary - Amazon.com: Random House Japanese-English English-Japanese Dictionary: Seigo Nakao: Books

Character Workbook -
(Hiragana/Katakana) - Amazon.com: Learning Japanese Hiragana and Katakana: Workbook and Practice Sheets: Kenneth G. Henshall, Tetsuo Takagaki: Books
(Kanji) - Amazon.com: Kanji Power: A Workbook for Mastering Japanese Characters (Tuttle Language Library): John Millen: Books

I also use flashcards to help with my vocabulary. - Amazon.com: Japanese in a Flash Kit Volume 1 (Tuttle Flash Cards) (Japanese Edition): John Millen: Books

I hope this helps a little bit. Good luck with your learning.

Sentence structure is correct.
1.Time
2. person/object
3. what you have to say about the object.

if you all need more help one place that a Japanese friend of mine on Facebook directed me to is A better way to learn. - iKnow!. It night help you more with seeing sentence stucture and learning to read charaters.

Hope this helped.

Why are you thanking the member who gave you gibberish?

"このうおんあのこわきれいなです。" makes no sense whatsoever!!
