    Thank you for the translations! While don't speak a word of Japanese, I do believe I have some simple advice for your translations. You have a tendency to type in run-on sentences. You should split many of your sentences up. Each sentence should communicate just one thought. Below is a really quick example of one of these run-on sentences and how you could split it up.

    Thanks for the example. I will try to work on them for future translations. Thank you!

    I'm curious, what is Japanese grammar like? Are there sentences like English, and other European languages? Is there anything similar to punctuation, commas, periods, colons and such?

    I know this question wasn't directed towards me, but go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_punctuation I hope that's what you're looking for. (in that article a period is referred to as a "fullstop".)

    and also this was an interesting read (since I don't know Japanese either :P)
