Hello!

I tried to write some sentences in Japanese, but they might have many mistakes, since I have no practicing in writing. I said in the text I'm learning Japanese since some years ago, but in fact it wasn't a continuous learning and it was never writing-oriented.

私はブルノです。25歳のブラジル人です。
I 'm Bruno. I'm a 25 years old Brazilian.
(and how could I put it all in one phrase?)

何年か前から、日本語が勉強します。
I'm studying Japanese since some years ago.

でも、上手ではありません。
But I'm not good at it.

実は、このテキストは日本語で初めて書くテキストです 。
Actually, this text is the first text I'm writing in Japanese.
(ok, this is not the first text, but I wanted to write this phrase)

Hope to hear tips from you, Thanks!

Good try, Bruno! :cool:

私はブルノです。25歳のブラジル人です。

→私はブルノ、25歳のブラジル人です。
I'm Bruno, a 25 years old Brazilian.

何年か前から、日本語が勉強します。
I'm studying Japanese since some years ago.


数年前から日本語を勉強しています。
何年か前 is also good. 数年前 is more common and sounds natural, though.
が is a particle to mark a subject.
For object, you use を.
te-form + いる/います is used to express the on-going thing.

でも、上手ではありません。
But I'm not good at it.

実は、このテキストは日本語で初めて書くテキストです 。
Actually, this text is the first text I'm writing in Japanese.

The above is perfect!
:cool::cool:
...If anything, you can use the word 文章(ぶんしょう) for "text".
テキスト in Japanese usually used for textbooks rather than a group of sentences.

Thank you for helping, undrentide-san! So I made it right the last sentence. Ureshii =). You motivated me to write a little more... I'm posting here the entire thing (which I wrote after confirming that phrase was ok). :)
Here we have a larger text:
こんにちは、ちゃ様!
Hello, Tcha-sama!
これは私、ブルノです。ちゃさんはどうですか?いい暮 らしだといいのですが。
This is me, Bruno. How are you? (Can I use this phrase instead of 'genki desu ka'?) I hope you life is fine (good).
今度、日本語で書いています。実は、この文章は日本語 で初めて書く文章です 。
This time I'm writing in Japanese. Actually, this text is the first text I'm writing in Japanese.
たとえ数年前からちゃさんの言語を勉強しても、まだ上 手ではありません。頑張ってる。=)
Even studying Tcha's language since years ago, I'm still no good at it. But I'm trying / I'm giving my best.
‥今は、眠らなくてはいけません。眠たいい!(ー・ー)‥
... I have to sleep now. I'm sleepy!
このメッセージを読んでくれてありがとう。ああ、イースターおめでとう!^o^
Thank you for reading this message. Aa, happy easter!
ちゃさんのブラジルの友達から、
ブルノ
From your friend from Brazil, Bruno
