我学中国话只一月。(I've been studying Chinese for a month.)
* If "我学汉语已有一个月了", the answer is "I've been studying Chinese for a month."
* If "我学中国话只一月", the answer is "I've been studying Chinese for only one month."

1. Old Wang asks me to speak Chinese
老王请我说中国话。
* Why do you tranlate "Ask me" to "请我“? Please donot use "请” here, that sounds your Chinese speaking is veeeeeery precious. The currest one is "老王让我说中文"
2. He asks if she eats French food
他问她吃不吃法国菜。
3. I and mister Zhang are both from Shanghai
我跟张先生都是上海人。
* Usually we put "Mr Zhang" before "i", so:
* Mr Zhang and me are both from Shanghai.
* 张先生同我都是上海人
4. Excuse me, this money won't suffice
对不起,这钱不够。
* I don't think this is a local expression, at least in Au.
* "this money won't suffice" --> "the pay is not enough."

我跟张先生和我都是从上海来的人。 What you wrote is "Mr. Zhang and I are Shanghainese". Though the meaning is the same but translation is inaccurate.

对不起,这些钱是不够的。 This way is nicer way of putting things unless your "suffice" carries resentment.
