Hi Julia! Here is what you wrote (just so I can see it a little easier for reference): 私は日本語を学んでいる、と私は、日本内で人気のある曲は何ですか不思議でしたか?私は最高の曲のいくつかを聞きたい。私の文法が間違っている場合、私は申し訳ありません。 First, in Japanese, you do not need to write/say 私 after establishing that you are talking about yourself in the first sentence. Second, are you self-studying or learning with a teacher? If you are self-studying, then I think 学ぶ is okay, but if you are learning in a class with a teacher, 習う is probably better. Even better would probably be 勉強する. Next, when you connect sentences, you have to use special grammar. In English, it's perfectly okay to combine two clauses to use the words like "and," but rarely does it make sense in Japanese. So there are several ways that you could fix this part (学んでいる、と私は) of the sentence. If you want to say, "I am learning Japanese, so I would like to know what music is popular in Japan." In this instance, you'd use からor ので . If you wanted to use "and" instead of "so" you could use something called て-form. I'm not a native speaker, but I have been learning this language for basically my whole life. I still make lots of mistakes though (especially lately and especially with formal Japanese), but here is a revised version of what you wrote: 私は日本語を勉強しているから、たくさん日本の人気がある音楽を聴きたいです。おすすめがあったら、教えて下さい。 I am learning Japanese, so I want to listen to a lot of popular Japanese music (I took away part of your original meaning). If you have any suggestions, please tell me. Anyway, you can check out Japan's Billboard 100 here - http://www.billboard.com/charts/japan-hot-100 and can even stream on the site! Good luck with everything!
