is this about music?  can you translate a bit of it - or are you looking for conversational japanese with someone who speaks?

Err, wakarimasen. Nihongo wo ninen wo benkyoushimashita.


sumimasen. otousan no uchi de hiragana to kanji wo kakemasen. Demo, obaasan no uchi de hiragana to kanji wo kakemasu!

I think that is correct...

Edit: ima wa watashi wa totemo nemui desuyo! oyasuminasai!

I think there are about 3 or 4 of us here who speak Japanese, and we keep breaking out into it on other threads. This is a place to contain it all I think.

[0range]

Biru ippon.

That's the extent of my Japanese, but I feel I've covered the essentials.

[pianistimo]

Is that the name of your local Japanese restaurant? (that's about it for me, too).

皆さんは何で日本語を興味を持っつようになったんですか。今年の日本語能力試験を受け積りですか。
皆の返事を楽しみしています。

怠惰な学生だからね。。。　

いいえ。 日本語はまだまだです。今の日本語は二年生だけど、一年生なんです。つまり,一年生なら英語のコースーは必修なコースーなんです。難しくないけど、迚もつまらない授業ですw。音楽は楽しいけど、ear training が大嫌い。Perfect pitch が欲しいなあ~。

日本語能力試験を受け積りない。。。 is almost correct.
積り is a noun so you have to say 積りがないor 積りがありません.

[pianistimo]

yattah  (i did it)
honto (really?)
a, so desu ka (oh, i see)
mochiron (of course)
a, yokatta (oh, good)
zen zen (not at all)

I'm so sorry, sweetie. Next time I will supply romaji + meanings so other people can understand and learn. Don't worry so much. I only studied for few months and I'm not that good. The kanji I'm using are very basic kanji, you will easily understand... ^____^

watashi wa hen desu.

[tanman]

anyone know any bad words in japanese?
all I know is kuso and nandakorya

[pianochick93]

iie, demo, 'baka' o shirimas.

But that doesn't count...

Mom, you sound like a silly teenager 

anyone know any bad words in japanese?

These are common in popular fiction, but you will hardly hear these in real life. If ever you'll use this, you will definitely get weird looks. Japan is a very polite society - at least on the outside. People might think that you lack education and sophistication, so be careful.

ilikepie, I will answer you next time.

pianochick, I will add mini-glossary to the things I've posted. Now, I gotta go. Ciao!

Self-study? Wow! You must really like Japanese.
Are you planning to study in Japan?
I hope you can get a scholarship.

Btw, I'll make a little correction:

Watashi wa ichinen sukonatomo Nippon wo naraimasu.

私は日本語を一年ぐらい勉強しました。 or　（~~~勉強している）
is better, IMO. We can wait for ilikepie - he might give other suggestions.

Japanese for Today by Gakken is a good book. But its pacing is a little too fast and it concentrates on reading skills. If you want to develop a more well-rounded communicative skills, I suggest you use the GENKI series or JAPANESE for COLLEGE STUDENTS (ICU Press).
