Japanese sentences in the Informal Present Tense

[Mr.Paper]

Hello! These Japanese sentences are all in the informal, present tense. They are translated in English and Spanish. Tell me how good my sentence forming is, thats one of the things I would like to know. Well, here they are. And the reason I use the romaji is because I can't type in characters.

Good work! Only two points.

1) である is more often used in a formal written style, だ would be more natural here.
今日は月曜日だ。(きょう　は　げつようび　だ)

2) To say that you like something use 好き(すき)
りんごが好きだ。(りんご　が　すき　だ) I like apples.
猫が好きだ。(ねこ　が　すき　だ) I like cats

I gets a little more difficult when you want to say that you like to do some action. In that case you need to make the verb a noun/gerund by adding の or こと to the end.
りんごを食べるのが好きだ。 (りんご　を　たべる　の　が　すき　だ) I like to eat apples.
猫と遊ぶのが好き。(ねこ　と　あそぶ　の　が　すき　だ) I like to play with [my] cat.

So for your example:
日本語を勉強するのが好きだ。(にほんご　を　べんきょうする　の　が　すき　だ) I like to study Japanese.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your feedback, this helps me in my studies! I have a question though, why do you put in the examples, ka after no and ta at the end of the sentence?

[Sairana]

why do you put in the examples, ka after no and ta at the end of the sentence?

It's ga (が) and da (だ); compare with ka か and ta た

Which textbook are you using? だ (da) is the plain copula. である isn't really informal/plain speech, as becki said:

1) である is more often used in a formal written style, だ would be more natural here.
今日は月曜日だ。(きょう　は　げつようび　だ)

[NocturnalOcean]

Also "san no kotoba o hanasu." is incorrect.

You use a counter for counting languages.

三ヶ国語(を)話す　sankakokugo (wo) hanasu　I speak tｈree languages
三ヶ国語(が)話せる 　sankakokugo (ga) hanaseru　I am able to speak tｈree languages
三ヶ国語も話せる sankakokugo mo hanaseru I can speak as many as three languages (This would be best I think, as speaking 3 languages isn't something everything can do) You use も as a modifier to point out that something is of a larger quantity than normal.

Also the particles inside the brackets are optional to use.

I don't use textbooks, I use notes on grammar. Textbooks suck when it comes to learning a language, its better to just use your brain that deals with language better than a book would.

Though textbooks usually say when to use its and when it's ...

Why are "notes on grammar" better than textbooks? Where are these notes coming from? Sure you have to use your brain, but you have to put the stuff in your brain from somewhere, and for a beginner, a textbook is by far the best option.

I'm not a beginner. Textbooks from the U.S.A are not good for learning Japanese.

[furrykef]

I'm not a beginner.

*falls out of chair laughing*

Dude, I'm a beginner, and my Japanese is way beyond yours, I'm afraid. I hate to be so blunt, but, well, seeing your posts around here lately, quite frankly I think you deserve it.

I'm not saying this to assert any kind of superiority over you or anything pathetic like that. I'm saying that you need to learn some humility and accept that you don't know this stuff as well as you think you do.

You are definitely a beginner. I don't mean this as an insult, and it's definitely not a bad thing to be a beginner -- everyone here (except for native Japanese speakers) was a beginner at one point. But you are still at the beginner level when you are having trouble with basic conjugations and particle uses.

[astaroth]

Well technically even native speakers were beginners at some point ...

Basic conjugations? wtf. I've studied this language for 1 year now. I know what i'm doing.

[phreadom]

And now you're banned. Bye bye troll.

(That's a 1 week ban to cool off the attitude hopefully. First time I haven't permanently banned someone. It seems he is at least making some effort to learn the language, so I don't want to perm ban him. But hopefully this will give him some time to re-evaluate his attitude and behavior in a public forum, and more specifically toward people who are fluent or much more advanced and who are trying to help him.

If he pulls this attitude again in a week, then it will be perm ban time as far as I'm concerned.)

[Yudan Taiteki]

Basic conjugations? wtf. I've studied this language for 1 year now. I know what i'm doing.

"furansu ga hanasanai", "miruku ga sukkunai na", and "miruku wa yokunai shinjiru" are basic conjugation problems. 1 year of study puts you still firmly in the beginner level.
