If you can already type in Japanese but are having troubles typing in your browser, then I don't know what's wrong.

クラブにようこそ．パツ123のコンピューターはPCかマックだ？僕のはマックだった，日本語 お書ける。
Kurabu ni youkoso. Pat123 no konpyuutaa wa PC ka Makku da? Boku no wa Makku datta, nihongo o kakeru.
Welcome to the club. Is your computer a Mac or a PC? Mine is a Mac, and I can type in Japanese.

Probably one or two grammatical faults here, but hopefully it's alright.

今日は
Konnichi wa (Good Afternoon)
どうも 有難う Konradz
Domo arigato Konradz (Thank you very much Konradz)
----------------------------------
Your information was very helpful. I cant get the browser to do it, either, so I write in MS Word, then cut and paste.
Your hint was very helpful.
In case someone else wants to do this, my computer could not find the xjis.nls file. It was in my C:\WINDOWS\I386 directory.


When doing this, I noticed that the roman spelling of some words in my dictionary did not match the kanji/kani. For example, above, the dictionary says “konnichi wa” , but it also shows the last kana to be "ha", rather than "wa." I noticed this in other entries. Is this correct, or do I have a bad dictionary?

こんにちは私は体の地層午前

(Hello ever body i am strata)

[Pat123]

今日　は　Strata。どうぞ　よろしく。
Konnichi wa Strata. Dōzo yoroshiku. 　　
(Hello Strata. Glad to meet you.)

[Zero~san012]

Konnichiwa minna, minna daijoubu?
(Hello everyone, everyone's doing fine?

[Konradz]

Pat123 :
Konnichiwa IS indeed spelled using the "ha" kana instead of the "wa" kana : こんいちは ; the same goes for the particle "wa" which is written using the "ha" kana : は
Well I don't know if I can help you further with your browser problem :/

僕 の　ブロうザー　は　サファリ　だ。パツ123　は？
boku no burouzaa wa Safari da. Patu123 wa?
My browser is Safari. What's yours?

Correction : (according to me)
Takusan no anime watashi konomu, dakedo fuli kuli wa ichiban desu. ->
takusan no anime o konomimasu, dakedo fuli kuli ga ichiban desu.
Or : takusan no anime ga suki desu, dakedo fuli kuli ga ichiban desu.

If you wish to put watashi in :
watashi wa takusan no anime o konomimasu, dakedo fuli kuli ga ichiban desu.

- The subject is always at the start of the proposition (unless there are adverbs like "now", etc.)
- don't forget that there's a particle between the Object and the Verb : "o" (although there are lots of verbs that don't use it, for some reason I still haven't understood)
- You use the polite form (desu), so every verb has to be conjugated using the polite form : konomu -> konomimasu

今日は　皆、元気ですか。　
Konnichiwa min’ne, genki desu ka?
Hello everybody, how are you?

Konradz-san:
有難う。僕の　ブロうザー　は　火の狐　だ、でも　問題　が　ない。

Arigatō. Boku no burouzaa wa hinokitsune da, demo mondai ga nai.　

(Thanks. My browser is Firefox, but there is no problem.)
――――――――――――――――――
At this time, it takes me a while to compose a post and if I try to do it in the browser, sometimes it times out. So, for now, writing in Word and copying seems to be the best way for me to do it.
I should explain. I’ve heard some Japanese by watching samurai and anime movies and shows. I’m now studying kana so that I can understand the sound effects that are sometimes left untranslated in manga. I am as far as “ha” right now. I also look up Japanese words, especially character names, to better appreciate manga. However, writing is entirely new to me. I know nothing of the grammar, but have a book I’m using to get started. (Then again, I don’t know much about English grammar, either.)

皆：後で合いましよう
Min’ne: Ato de aimashō.

(Everybody: See you later.)

はい，占めた。
Hai, shimeta.
OK, I got it.

Btw, でも (demo) is always put at the end of a sentence. It can only be used after a full stop.

I'm going by the way I hear demo used.

Something, Something, something,
demo
Something else.

Of course, I cannot see punctuation when someone speaks, but it seemed to be used as a conjunction, and sometimes with significant pauses at either end.


At any rate, if demo can only be used after a full stop, then how can it be at the end of a sentence? Do you mean

something something. Something else demo.


後で合いましよう
Ato de aimashō.
