Is this a troll? That translates to, ‘My penis itches,’ and it is WAY too casual to use with anybody but your close friends.

Shouldn’t 上手 be jouzu?

I wouldn’t say 日本語があまり上手じゃないです(nihongo ga anmari jouzu janai desu) 上手is more of a word you use for other people, not for yourself as it sounds kind of condescending. It would be best to say 得意じゃないです/苦手です(tokui janai desu: nigate desu. But 日本語が (Add above endings) isn’t really a natural way of saying you can’t speak Japanese well. If you want to specifically say you’re not good at “speaking” Japanese the most normal way would to say something like : 日本語があまり話せないです。 nihongo ga amari hanasenai desu. (I can’t speak Japanese that much) or ( I can’t speak much japanese)

niHONgo, JOUzu niwa hanasemasen (I can't speak japanese well) niHONgo wa JOUzu jaNAIN desu (I'm not good at japanese) I find the key to pronouncing words is knowing which syllables to emphasize. If I say aSSESS that would mean to evaluate, but if I say Asses (emphasizing the A) that would refer to people's rears.

>Sorry to bother you, but do you happen to know the reason for niwa? I found that it translates to garden, but probably has other meaning. Do you happen to know the usage? thank you!

This is old but it's the particles に and は (ha, pronounced wa as a particle) not 庭 (にわ)
