「ときがなかったから、にほんごでかきませんでした。」とかいてみて。
"toki ga nakatta kara, nihongo de kakimasen deshita." to kaite mite.
Try writing it as "Because I didn't have time, I did not write it in Japanese."

Coda Highland 「ときがなかったから、にほんごでかきませんでした。」とかいてみて。 "toki ga nakatta kara, nihongo de kakimasen deshita." to kaite mite. Try writing it as "Because I didn't have time, I did not write it in Japanese." はい! でもあの言はまちがう。 わたしはときがあります。 でもわたしはにほんご知るじゃない。 Hai! Demo ano gen wa machigau.. watashi wa toki ga arimasu. demo watashi wa nihongo shiru janai. Yes! But that statement is incorrect. I have the time. But I don't know the Japanese. (I think I wrote the last sentence wrong cause my Japanese is limited and I don't know all my particles yet razz )

(You're negating verbs wrong. じゃない is used as a negative for だ/です. For しる it would be しらない. The rules are pretty simple but there's more than I care to list here, so I suggest looking it up. Also, as far as particles are concerned you forgot the を in にほんごをしらない, although that's acceptable in casual speech.)
そうですか。それで、べんきょうをがんばってね！
sou desu ka. sore de, benkyou wo ganbatte ne!
I see. Well then, good luck with your studies!

わたしわかいしゃのじゅやく。
Watashi wa kaisha no juuyaku.
I'm a company executive.
(I'm not sure I wrote that right... and I wanted to say I'm a company executive in a small company. Originally I thought it might be written, Chisai kaisha wa kaisha no juuyaku.... but that didn't seem right.)

It would simply have been ちいさいかいしゃのゆうやく。(It's ちいさい, by the way.) Japanese adjectives go before the noun just like in English.

I'm impressed, as those translators often disappoint me. Also, Konichiwa is spelled with a は, not a わ.

So uh...
いいてんきですね。
[iitenkidesune]
Nice weather we're having.
This may not be the most accurate translation, because it is sort of a question, but both phrases are used in the same casual context.
If you agree with the statement, simply respond 'soudesune'.

Indeed, you don't use "furui" for people. "toshitotta" (年取った) is more appropriate.
