Grr. (Dear Tokusatsu muses)

Dear Tokusatsu muses:

日本語をあんまり話しません! 英語を話しますください。

(Apologies for my terrible Japanese for anybody who can read that.)

I hate it when my muses forget that my native language is English, and my Japanese is not good, and that they need to enable the translator.

Both Babelfish and Worldlingo agree... you said "The bean jam ball you do not speak Japanese! You speak English."

How close are they? :D

You've got two typos; one spelling and one conjugation mistake. :) Without the typos, it would be, "日本語をあまり話しません。英語を話してください。" The ん in あまり was the spelling typo and when using -ください the verb needs to be in the -て form. :)

If it's any help I have the exact same problem with Cantonese. ^_^
