"You are working at starbucks, right? Which location?"
In English, we do not use でしょう.

"My previous housemate just left last week."
You can't use Japanese sentence structure when speaking or writing English. If you said it like this, it doesn't sound native at all.
You have to focus more on the subject of the sentence rather than the topic. The topic in your sentence is your housemate which is also the subject (the topic in topic-prominent languages can also be the object). So, you don't have to further define who has left (you take out the pronoun "she").

"She's going to get marry with Canadian. They have been with just 3 months! I can't believe it! And she already met his families and he already talked with her families on Skype!"
You would say this as "She's going to get [married] with [a] Canadian. They have been together for just 3 months! I can't believe it! She already met his family, and he [has] already talked with her family on skype [as well]"
In Japanese, it would sound ok if you use "Is it possible?" but it's not common in English.
Instead, you would say "That's unbelievable."

Maybe you mean: ....help my housemate carry her luggage.
Notes: to carry is wrong here
We have roommates in America, not housemates, generally speaking.
I think it's a little more comment to say 'marry a...' rather than 'get married to'

Hi Hiromi,
1st * Everything is fine, though 'Starbucks' is usually written with no space in the middle.
2nd* 'to carry her languages' makes no sense. Do you mean 'carry on learning her languages'?
3rd* Corrected this reads as:
My previous housemate left last week.
She's going to get married to a Canadian. They have been together for just 3 months! I can't believe it!
She has already met his family and he has already spoken to her family on Skype!
Is it possible????
4th* Corrected it reads as:
I applied to a job because one of my friends told me about it, but I'm not sure if I'll want to work there or not because most of the employees are Japanese.
I don't want to speak Japanese too much. Of course, the customers are native speakers but if I work there I will speak Japanese with the employees.
I hope that helps! The grammar issues are mostly with prepositions, incorrect usage of words and confusion of tenses.

*You are working at Starbucks, aren't you?
Which location?
(This one's fine.)
*I have to leave at 4:30 because I'm gonna help my new house mate to carry her languages.
(Only use "gonna" in an informal setting, like speaking between friends. Otherwise, if you're writing or speaking, use the formal "going to." Also, instead of "languages," I think you mean "luggage." Some "languages" are English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. "Luggage" refers to suitcases you use when travelling.)
*My previous house mate, she left last week.
(The organization is a little weird. Try: "My previous house mate left last week." It flows better!)
She's going to get marry with Canadian. They have been with just 3 months! I can't believe it!
(In English, we say someone gets "married to" someone else, so the first sentence would say, "She's going to get married to a Canadian." The next sentence would be, "They have just been together for 3 months!" The third sentence is fine.)
And she already met his families and he already talked with her families on Skype!
(English uses something called a singular noun when talking about "family." Even though there are multiple family members in one family, the word "family" in English is singular, not plural. The corrected version looks like this: "And she already met his family, and he already talked with her family on Skype!")
Is it possible?
(Yes, and your grammar here is fine too.)
*I applied a job because one of my friend introduced me the job.
("I applied to a job because one of my friends introduced the job to me." or "...introduced me to the job.")
But I'm not sure if I'll work there or not because most employees are Japanese.
("But I'm not sure if I'll work there because most of the employees are Japanese.")
I don't want to speak Japanese too much. Of course the custermors are native speaker, but if I work there, I would speak Japanese with the employees.
(Only the second one needs correcting: "Of course the customers are native speakers...")
