Mijn eerst Nederlands dagboek Ik ben Cocco, Japanse. Ik ben student. Ik woon in Tokyo nou. Ik spreek Japans, Engels en een beetje Nederlands. Okay it's my first diary of Dutch, don't laugh at it please. Coz I started to learn Dutch from today. haha. It's hard to remember the pronunciation like "goed hoor" is quite different from English. I learned English first so I already have images of pronunciations of alphabets. (I can understand English so you can correct in English.) Now I should remember more words of Dutch. One more what I can't understand is the idea of "stressed and unstressed". What's that? What is the difference? Ik is stressed, 'k is unstressed... How do you use them?

Mijn eerste  Nederlandse dagboek - OF: Mijn eerste dagboek in het Nederlands

Ik ben Cocco, Japanse. =>  beter: Ik ben Cocco, ik kom uit Japan.
Ik ben student.
Ik woon in Tokyo nou. => Ik woon nu in Tokio.
Ik spreek Japans, Engels en een beetje Nederlands.

You want to know the difference between " 'k" en "ik"? Actually, you should always use "ik" in formal language. " 'k" is used in spoken language, poetry, songs and rhyme, but refers to spoken language and therefore should not be used in a letter, for example. Some people may use it when they mail or chat with friends... Hope this is an answer to your question?

Veel succes nog verder met jouw Nederlands! Het is al heel goed!

Groetjes,

(Sorry, I know coz is the right slang way to say "because", but I just couldn't help myself and had to correct you.)

One more thing. What I can't understand is the idea of "stressed and unstressed".

Hi Cocco! I think it's great that you're trying to learn Dutch! And nobody is laughing. :)
I think you did pretty good for your first day.

I'm not a grammar expert, so I'm going to give you a link to a duolingo page where they give a pretty good explanation about stressed and unstressed pronouns in Dutch. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
