こんばんわ。わたしのなまえわジョシュアです。

Not sure if this is right. It's supposed to say "Konbanwa. Watashi no namae wa Joshua desu." My Japanese is still very N00B.

Namae and wa are two different words. Was putting them together a typo or intentional?

It was intentional. I don't think it matters too much though since I wrote it correctly in Japanese (Where spaces don't matter).

It's normal to write without spaces indeed.

However, you should have used は instead of わ as the particle after なまえ (which is 名前 in kanji, わたし being 私). I'd also write こんばんは instead of こんばんわ, but I imagine you could just as well write こんばんわ when on the internets. Densestsu9000 will probably know.

However, you should have used ? instead of ? as the particle after ??? (which is ?? in kanji, ??? being ?).?I'd also write ????? instead of ?????, but I imagine you could just as well write ????? when on the internets. Densestsu9000 will probably know.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I'm not sure about ????? though. I still haven't gotten into written grammatical rules which is why I'm bound to make mistakes. ??????

Yep, Mazor is right in that the technically correct way to write it is "??????????????????????"

Sometimes the Japanese write "????? / ?????" instead of "????? / ?????," but the only time I've ever seen ? used instead of ? is in text messages or blogs (in other words, very informal writing), and it's usually written by girls. It's kind of like a "cute" way to write ????? because it's an intentional "misspelling" (for lack of a better term), kinda childish and playful, so it's a popular way for young Japanese women to write it.

And yep, there are no spaces in Japanese so it really doesn't matter how you space words in Romaji. "Anatawa" is just as correct as "Anata wa." It's just easier to read in Romaji if the words and particles are separated. However to be truly correct in writing Japanese, the only way to go is to ditch Romaji altogether and use kana

Anyone know a good, free place to learn Japanese? I don't see a Tales of the Tempest translation ever happening, and I've wanted to play that game to see if it's as bad as everyone says.
Translation guide on tales forum.
I would link to it but I'm on my ipod

ほら、私はちょうどここにオランダ語から日本語に翻訳!私が直接話したり、日本語の書き込みはありませんので、しかし、ええ、これはおそらく悪い訳です...あなたの日本語で、ちょうど蘭学を学ぶ!

英語を:
Hah I simply translate it from Dutch to Japanese! But eh, this will probably be translated badly because I straightforwardly do not speak or write Japanese... You silly people with your Japanese, just learn rangaku!

(kept it as literal as possible to show how badly google translate has translated my Dutch sentences to Japanese)

オランダ
Hah ik vertaal gewoon vanuit het Nederlands naar het Japans toe! Maar eh, dit wordt waarschijnlijk slecht vertaald omdat ik regelrecht geen Japans spreek of schrijf... Jullie met je Japans, leer gewoon rangaku!
