checking mistakes !!!

Postby haibocdt5439 » February 21st, 2013 5:06 am

家族について紹介

私の家族は五人です。父と母と兄と兄の妻と私です。父は53歳です。父はかんがいのかいしゃいんです。父はクッキングがじょうずです。母は48歳です。母は農家です。母はとても楽しい人です。私の兄は26歳です。兄は勉強があまりじょうずではありませんが、歌がとてもおもしろいです。そして、ギターが上手です。私は兄にギターをならいします。3か月前、兄の妻は私の家族に来ました。彼女は親切人です。そして、とてもまめです。今、私は24歳です。私は工科大学の学生です。専門はメカトロです。私の好きはスポーツと音楽と旅行。。。です。

This is the first paragraph I have written until now. So, I hope everybody can help me for checking mistake and giving me some advices to make it better. :)

私の家族は人です。両親と兄夫婦と私です。父は53歳です。父はかんがいのかいしゃいんです。父は料理がじょうずです。母は48歳です。母は農業をしています。母はとても楽しい人です。私の兄は26歳です。兄は勉強があまり得意ではありませんが、歌がとてもおもしろいです。そして、ギターが上手です。私は兄にギターをならっています。3か月前、兄の妻は私のに来ました。(or 兄の妻は私の家族になりました。)彼女は親切人です。そして、とてもまめです。今、私は24歳です。私は工科大学の学生です。専門はメカトロです。私の趣味はスポーツと音楽と旅行。。。です。

I'm Japanese.So I don't know if I can explain in English, but I'll try :)
We have a rule that we can't use 5 and 五 (kanji) at the same paragraph.
If you use 五人 then you should write 四十八歳, 二十六歳...and so on. We normally write 5人、48歳、26歳.

父と母と兄と兄の妻と私です。 is a bit hard to read. I would say 両親と兄夫婦と私です。

I couldn't understand the meaning of かんがい. Maybe かいがい?
You can say 父は海外で会社員をしています。
母は農家です。 ummmm I don't know why, but a little bit strange if you use it in this paragraph.
Some people might say it's fine. but I would say 母は農業をしています。
Also I couldn't understand 歌がとてもおもしろい。 
From context, If I were you, I would say 兄は勉強があまり得意ではありませんが、歌はとても上手です。
We understand クッキング, but we say 料理 instead.
I think we don't use じょうず for 勉強. 「勉強がじょうず」 sounds strange for me :?
Maybe few people understand about メカトロ. If somebody ask you " what's メカトロ?", you need to explain it.
。。。means "and so on" ?  You can say など instead.

I hope it help you :) :kokoro:

haibocdt5439さん, amapola515m6853さん,
こんにちは!
Thank you very much for your help, amapola515m6853さん!! :)

haibocdt5439さん, I must say your Japanese is really good! :D
I'd just want to add about the comment from amapola515m6853さん:
父と母と兄と兄の妻と私です。 is a bit hard to read. I would say 両親と兄夫婦と私です。
This opinion is right, but your original sentence is also totally fine. Very correct and nothing wrong.
If you keep your original, you can also use Japanese comma instead of と like:
父と母、兄、兄の妻、そして私です。

Hope this helps :wink: And, if there's any specific things you'd like to know, please feel free to ask us any time!
