I think you have to get accustomed to it practicing with basic sentences. There are cases that each words doesn't have the specific translations. For example: I am Australian. --> わたしはオーストラリアじんです。(I Australian am) I am at home. --> わたしはいえにいます。(I home at am) I go to the university. --> わたしはだいがくへいきます。(I university to go) I like dogs. --> わたしはいぬがすきです。(I dog like) I eat lunch here. --> わたしはここでランチをたべます。(I here lunch eat) The same happened when I started learning English but I had to accept the English sentence structure. If you have example sentence you don't understand, please tell me. It's also OK asking with example sentences in English. I hope my English isn't bad and this helps you.

The subject usually comes at the beggining, then the object follows after the subject. The verb comes at the end of the sentence.There is also something called particles that connect the subject, object, or the verb. For example: わたしはりんごをたべます。 わたしis I, the subject. りんご means apple, this is the object. は is the particle that connects the subject and object. たべます means to eat; this is the verb. をis used to connect the object to the verb. So when everything is put together, it translates to "I eat apple". Hope this helps!
