Engrish or Janglish or something

Japanese and English(and other European languages) have many differences.
I think in English when I use English. It's so tough to think in Japanese when I speak English. The differences are so huge and to translate is also difficult...

I think one of big differences between Japanese and English is "there is" and "have(or get)".
For example )

japanese, language, english

そうだよ。。。
This is really interesting! So it is true: if you want to learn Japanese, at first you have to start thinking like a Japanese. o3o

I think I will stalk your language's posts. 8D They are utterly useful! ♥

>それはとてもあなたが良いです。♥

It isn't wrong in grammar. Well, but it's a bit wired as a turn of phrase.

Hmmm...I think in that case ;
"そんなあなたが素敵です"
"あなたはとてもいい人です"
these phrases sound natural as you're nice.

Anyway, it must be nice you take a challenge to write something in Japanese :D
