Post Can you please help me with my script? - 05-11-2010, 01:28 AM

Hello, I'm new here, and I was hoping if you guys can help me correct what I have already (because unfortunately, I'm terrible at Japanese) and help me with what I don't have.

First off, we have to use the following and I've already got the sentences that will have these in English; I just need help translating them. Also, my class is only up to Lesson 6 in the Genki I textbook.
[1] kore, sore, are, dore
[2] kono, sono, ano, dono
[3] koko, soko, asoko, doko
[4] mo
[5] ne, yo
[6] ni + ga + arimasu
[7] to
[8] suki, kirai, jouzu, heta
[9] mashou (ka)
[10] kudasai
[11] totemo, amari, chotto
[12] mo ii desu, wa ikemasen

My sentences are:
There's no class, but there's a cafe over there. Let's go there together. [3][6][9]
asoko ni kurasu arimasen demo, asoko ni kissaten ga arimasu. issho ni asoko ni ikimashou.

Which are they having? [1]
dore ...umm, I don't know what "to have" or "having" and "they (male & female)" is in Japanese. Would you use "aru?"
So, it'll be:
dore ha (wa) they ga arimasu ka?

Oh, that coffe cake is very cheap, but that is also cheap, isn't it? Please give me that and coffee. [2][11][4][5][10][7]
sore kouhii no pan totemo yasui desu demo, are mo yasui desu, ne? Jaa, sore to kouhii kudasai.

So, how do you like Japan? [8]
I don't know how to say, "how do you." :\

Can I have more coffee? [12]
Okay, I'm really not sure here, but I'll try anyway:
motto kouhii mo ii desu?

I'm from Sweden also. or I'm from there also. [4]
watashi ha (wa) suueiden kara mo.
watashi ha (wa) asoko kara mo.

Thank you!

1. 今日は授業がないから、あそこのカフェに一緒に行きま しょう。

2.彼らはどれにしましたか?

3.このコーヒーケーキはとても安いですが、あれも安 いですね。じゃあ、あれを下さい。

4.日本はどうですか?日本は好きですか?

5.コーヒーのお代わり下さい。コーヒー、もう一杯お 願いします。

6.私もスウェーデンから来ましたよ。

I did not use all your phrases, and with the sentences you gave it is not possible to use them all.. but this is how I would say those things. Are you allowed to come up with more sentences than what you gave?

Ah, thank you—I really appreciate your taking your time to help! However, I can't read kanji yet—only hiragana and katakana
But yes, we are allowed to come up with more sentences, but I'd have to work it out with my group to rewrite our scripts (they each have to use those 12 phrases too).

Try using this site to help you read the kanji: Kanji Romaji Hiragana Convert
Just copy and paste.

And yeah you will need to write more sentences for sure if you want to include number 12 (asking permission/ and telling someone they are not allowed to do something).
