I know what its supposed to mean. I'm the one that wrote it lol. I want to know if its grammatically correct before I try to learn more difficult aspects of the language.

Oh god the Japanophiles.

lol Thats funny and all but since it translates right with google translator I doubt it would make any sense to someone who speaks Japanese because the sentence structure is very different.

I hate to disappoint you but I'm not wapanese. I rarely watch anime and once I learn the basics of the language on my own I will take a college level class. I just want to learn another language and I have no desire to learn a European language because I want to learn a language of another culture. The only languages I would have any desire to learn are Japanese, arabic, and Spanish in that order.

I know japanese sounds really cool but both arabic (25) & spanish (21) are spoken by many countries .

arabic is spoken by more than 280 million people as a first language and by 250 million more as a second language.

if u wrote it in hiragana i could tell u if its correct, half of the kanji i cant read/forgot sooo

finally a legit learner. Way too many losers out there who say 'neko' and 'kawaii' and claim to speak japanese. They need to shut the fuck up.

Last time i checked my history book it said Spanish was an european language

Good luck learning japanese, it's always hard to learn a new language. I'm sure it will take time but you won't regret it.

From what I've had the time to scan through, the 'corrections' he/she is presenting are wrong. I'll post corrections when I get off work (and get around to it).

Well, I haven't had to use japanese in years, but from what I was presented, the corrections I gave don't appear to be wrong. I'll be appreciative if you can pinpoint where I exactly doing things wrong?

Korera Hana wa akaku arimasen.
Korera - these
hana - flower(s)
akai - red (adjectives drop the -i on the end and add a -ku in the negative adjectival verbal forms, resulting in akaku arimasen).

Handobaggu no Onna no ko wa kuroku arimasen.
Onna no ko (just combine to Onnanoko) - lit. female child
no - preposition (in this use, it's for "of")
handobaggu - handbag
wa - preposition (subject marker)
kuroi - black (adjective, noticeable because of the -i endings 'usually')
*noticed my mistake, forgot to use the -ku, etc.*

Shiroi desu.
Shiroi - white
desu - to be

Midori dewa arimasen.
Midori - green (irregular adjective; so far I've never seen the -ku form used with this word. I've always heard it used midori dewa nai/arimasen)

Aoku arimasen.
Aoi - Blue (drop the -i, and add -ku nai/arimasen)
*fixed that mistake, forgot to use the -ku*
