Χαίρετε
Χαίρετε. Με λένε Λορεν. Προσπαθώ να μάθω Ελληνικά. Αυτό θα είναι ενα σύντομο κείμενο.Σήμερα, το πρωινό μου είχε το αυγό βραστό, και το σπανάκι, το τυρί, γάλα και κινόα. Μου αρέσει πολύ η κινόα! Έφαγα το πρωινό μου στις οκτώ και τριάντα. Και μετά.... πήγα στη δουλειά μου.
Στη δουλειά μιλάω πολύ! Έχω δέκα μέλη στην ομάδα μου. Είμαι λογίστρια. Μου αρέσουν οι αριθμοί!
Μαθαίνω Ελληνικά γιατί θα είμαι στην Ελλάδα αυτόν τον Σεππτέμβριο. Μου αρέσουν τα ελληνικά πολύ! Είναι μία όμορφη γλώσσα.

Καλώς να ορίσεις στην Ελλάδα :-)
Xαίρετε. Με λένε Λορέν. Προσπαθώ να μάθω [τα] ελληνικά. Αυτό θα είναι ένα σύντομο επεισόδιο. (The last two words though mean "brief episode/incident". If you meant to say "text", then the last word should be replaced with κείμενο.)
Σήμερα, το πρωινό μου είχε βραστό αυγό, [και] σπανάκι, τυρί, γάλα, και κινόα. Μου αρέσει πολύ η κινόα! Έφαγα το πρωινό μου στις οκτώ και τριάντα. Και μετά... πήγα να δουλέψω. (Well, it depends what you want to say here; "I eat breakfast [...]. And then... I go to work." οr "I ate breakfast [...]. And then... I went to work."? The former will translate like this; Τρώω το πρωινό μου στις οκτώ και τριάντα. Και μετά... πάω να δουλέψω (you could also say πάω στη δουλειά [μου] (here "work" is a noun, not a verb)).
Στη δουλειά, μιλάω πολύ! Έχω δέκα μέλη στην ομάδα μου. Είμαι λογίστρια. Μου αρέσουν οι αριθμοί!
Μαθαίνω [τα] ελληνικά γιατί θα είμαι στην Ελλάδα αυτόν τον Σεπτέμβριο. Μου αρέσουν τα ελληνικά πολύ! (Or say Μου αρέσουν πολύ τα ελληνικά! )Είναι μία όμορφη γλώσσα.
NOTES:
μία = μια (less formal)
οκτώ = οχτώ (more recent/modern)
Instead of "οκτώ και τριάντα" you could say "οκτώ και μισή" (ie word-by-word "eight and half". "Half" here cannot refer to minutes or seconds (which are neuter in Greek), but only to hours (feminine)...)
"Επειδή" could be used here instead of "γιατί". "Γιατί" may translate to both "because" and "why" (usually in questions..), depending on the context. "Επειδή" always means "because".
Where you say "στη δουλειά", it would not be a "big" mistake to say "στην δουλειά". The same applies to other words of course... My point is simply that, the dropping of "ν" in the first case constitutes an exception to the genaral rule, as a result of aesthetic-based simplification/shortening, so that the word macthes better/more melodically(?) the first letter of the word that follows (ie here "δουλειά")... Accordingly, if you keep writing or pronouncing "ν" before words like this, you will virtually never face a problem of understanding, neither any weird looks from others.. Again, I just say that only because the [exception] rules for dropping the "ν" can be complicated and tricky...
Where you say "Μου αρέσουν τα ελληνικά πολύ!" you could also say instead "Τα ελληνικά μού αρέσουν πολύ". You may notice that there is an accent mark on top of "υ" in the word "μού". That is because "μου" may generally mean either "my" or "[to] me". Accordingly, in cases where there would otherwise be a confusion in the meaning, the "accent mark" (ie "dot spot" over vowels) is being used... So, if you were to omit the mark here, the translation would be "My Greek is being liked [by others] a lot!", and this is particularly because "μου" would be placed right after "ελληνικά"! Furthermore, you could also say instead "Πολύ μου αρέσουν τα ελληνικά!", which perhaps better translates into "I much like Greek!", and anyway makes a really subtle difference in meaning, I think. To conclude with, my point is that the Greek syntax is arguably more liberal than the English one...
PS I hope the above helps, and doesn't confuse, you!
