1. Arigatou gozaimasu

Watashi ha nihongo wo hanashitai desu kedo yoku muzukashii...

[subterranean]

2. One correction...

It should be totemo muzukashii (very difficult).

Yoku is used to modify a verb, totemo to modify an adjective.

Otherwise, your sentence was perfect. Gambatte kudasai!

7. Yusaka Maezawa sums up the awful state Japan has gotten itself into

...he has billions of dollars and is buying his own moon rocket, and still looks pathetic trying to get a girl to go to the moon with him. That's how sad interpersonal relations in Japan have gotten. Fifteen years ago they were found to be the country where people are the least happy with their love and sex lives, with the birth rate falling well below replacement, and things have only decayed further since then, with hikikomori now becoming a household word. If I was from there I'd be darn glad to get out too. (But of course there'd also be tons of stuff to go back and enjoy, too.)

I still kind of want to learn to speak Japanese...

8. Typical Stuff Said by Japanese Women Who Hve Left Japan

I was talking with some Japanese tourists in Japanese recently about a problem that really concerns me,, however - about how, ever since the Fukushima muclear accident, which they have never really cleaned up, Japanese society and government seems to be getting more and more fascist and militaristic - I call it "nucleo-fascism". Maybe that's why Japanese PM Kenzo Abe is so "naka-yoku", or "buddy-buddy" with Trump - fascists of a feather flock together.
