Hello dunkindonuts,
Sentence 1:
- "J'ai mémorisé quelques phrases en français mais je ne suis pas encore capable de bien discuter."
- "J'ai appris par coeur certaines phrases de tous les jours mais j'ai encore du mal en conversation."
Both are very similar. In the first, the verb "memorized" is correct but not used too often. People would say "learned" (as in the second sentence). In the second, "j'ai du mal en conversation" is not something you really say, but rather something like "j'ai du mal à parler". Let me give you a third version, which might sound a little bit more natural.
"J'ai appris par coeur quelques phrases en français mais j'ai encore du mal à m'exprimer." (... or "à parler")
Sentence 2:
- "Voi[c]i mon adresse mail et mon numéro de tél[é]phone."
- "Voi[c]i mon e-mail et mon numéro de téléphone."
French people often use "mail" and "email" interchangeably. Thus, both sentences are good. I would probably say the second though, as it is shorter. If you forget "mail" in the first sentence, it means that you will give your home address.
