- かぎ　は　つくえ　の　うえ　に　あります。

I´m sorry...i´m writing it with interspace for better lucidity...:)

From USA to Japan.
-
アメリカ／あめりか　から　にほん　まで　です。

- USA have to be in katakana...since You wrote it have to be in hiragana i wrote here both of it...hope you don´t mind...:)

Tokyo is in Japan
- とうきょう　は　にほん　に　あります。

I hope it is alright.:ywave:

THANKS! I really appreciate it! :rheart:

BTW つくえ　＝Desk, not table.
The keys are on the table.
かぎはてーぶるのうえにあります。
てーぶる should be written in katakana (テーブル) but you asked for just hiragana.

Ack, I know I've made that exact mistake before... I meant 日本語. Sorry.

「くださいませんか」 sure is formal. but it's hard to decide how formal or informal I should go because i just don't know how the two of you have been speaking to each other.

I haven't talked to him in months and we usually talk in English. I hate that I can't carry on in Japanese and revert to English, which is why I'm going back to that site to make a better attempt. If I do talk in Japanese (with him, or the other people on Lang-8) I just use formal speech, and they do too. But I dunno if that's because I use formal speech first which sets the tone for how we talk. That, and most of my friends on there are young guys, I'd probably be more comfortable using casual speech if I was talking to girls my age :/ So I tend to just play it safe with formal speech :)

If you use もう(already), you are saying you think a week is a long time. Use まだ(only), and the reader will know you think it's a short time.

Cool! I didn't really know that before :D And thank you for your input on what he probably said in Japanese. Very helpful. :cool:

Sorry, one more 'how do you say' question;
How do you say "revert back to English" (like in "I hate that I revert to English when I do Japanese-English language exchanges.")
Is it 「英語に戻す」？

I´m sorry for that kind of trivial mistake:) ...it is just that, when i hear this kind of sentence it´s "tsukue" what came to my mind first:) sorry...:ywave:
