i try to translate it.. "I think i am good at Japanese (language). But the truth is im not. Nihongo is easy, dont u agree? You too can have lots of fun".. (im not very sure, tanoshikatta is past tense and taihen is very, or something like that)

To improve your Japanese vocabulary, there is a program from 'Before you know it' (byki.com) which you can download for free. This program is very good because of its features. The audio teaches you how to pronounce the words, it shows the words in both English and Japanese, and it has you type the words a few times. It also has different lists for Days of the weeks, animals, month, and some more. I can give you the website url of a Japanese tutor if you want, his lessons cost $45 dollars but the first two are free and can be found on his website. I am currently taking his lessons.
