I read the whole conversation I and I learned a few things. Anyway about Japan I was thinking about one day living in Japan. but I plan on being in the film industry and not the Manga industry. question though. is it possible to become a manga editor in Japan.  

[LamiaZlogonje]

You're very good at this, thanks!  

[waky_hakyy_123]

so in other words when you put the words in English format you would say wa watashi desu etsuko?right?cause after i just reviewed this i understand that in japanese format the words come before the subject so to speak wa is as for watashi i desu am Etsuko japanese format watashi wa etsuko desu.that's what your saying about placement right?

I have this game called My Japanese Coach, and I remember learning this and I was like, "HEY! I know what she's talking about!" xD But I'm confused on one part, and that is the "As for" thing.

Watashi wa Billy desu =>

As for me, my name is Billy

My mom (who is Japanese), told me that "watashi wa blank desu" just means "my name is blank." Is the "as for me" just another way of saying it? sweatdrop

Oh! And I look forward to future lessons. xD This is helpful.

Watashi wa juugosai desu.
Other than that, yes it's right smile

Although I'm not the teacher here, I'll try to answer this question. I never use "as for me" when translating "watashi wa". I guess it just sounds a bit redundant in English. I don't think Japanese can translate to English exactly most of the time anyways.

"Watashi wa Billy desu" would just be translated as "I am Billy."
