1. In English it's JapAn and JapAnese. and Thanks a lot.
2. In Japanese there is no "and" between verbs as in european languages.
There are infinite forms of verbs. Infinite form of desu です for your case is de で.
Furansujin de nihon ni sunde imasu.
Watasi wa nihonjin de furansu ni sunde imasu.
In your case, as the two sentences are a bit contrasting, you can use ga が "but" instead of "and".
it would be: Watashi wa furansujin desu ga, nihon ni sunde imasu.
Nihonjin desu ga, furansu ni sunde imasu.
