I did'nt know that at all o.o I was told to say that in my speech at highschool as well

name > namae

ni juu sai > hatachi. We rarely say "20-sai." We have a special word "hatachi" to say it.
So I should say hatachi? Okay, I will do that.

You don't call your own mom "okaasama". Say "haha". I was going to say "Haha" but was told to say "Okaasam" when Talking to someone like a teacher etc and "Haha" To friends, I guess it differs maybe?

kaunsera > kanseraa. Elongate that last syllable.

"This is my grandmother, she lives with my mum" > Kore wa (better yet "kochira wa") sobo desu. Sobo wa haha to issho ni sundeimasu.

" I have a rabbit. She lives inside and is very smart"
"Usagi wo katte imasu. Ie no naka de katte imasu. Atama no ii usagi desu."

Just holler if I can do more.
Thank you so much for your time ^_^
I haven't yet to hear the word kochira, we were just taught the basic this, that, that over there. haha
Sigh, and I thought I was doing so well
