G'day mate! Dingo ate my baby! (Sarcasm)

Ohayou!

 

Watashi no namae ha (pronounced wa) Burandon desu. Watashi wa nihongo wo (pronounced oh) benkyou shimasu desu.

 

I wouldn't use watakushi unless you want to be ultra polite, or interviewing for a job, etc.  Remember to use the topic marker ha (said like wa) unless the topic is already known. The wo (oh) is the direct object. 

 

Watashi ha = I am the topic

Nihongo wo = This is the object of the verb

benkyou shimasu (polite form of verb benkyou suru) = studying/will study

Most Japanese can be expressed using hiragana. I use katakana for names of people and places. In everyday conversations, like facebook, etc, hiragana can be used exclusively. Some people prefer to use kanji because it shortens the sentences, and therefore the time to read.

Please correct my mistakes.<　ＯＪＴＩ？　>

I got my work done early today.

After we finished our work, we gave a reception to welcome new staff members.

man and woman

The venue was a Japanese restaurant.

The trouble is that I was appointed OJTI of new staff members man by our branch manager at the reception .

(How do you say in English? I think it is stands On the Job Training Instructor.)

(I've never heard of OJTI. I think you're right though.)

I don't have much confidence, but I have to do my best!
(Why? You'll do great!)


Very good! You didn't have many mistakes, just a few minor things.
