Hey Cuong.

There's a ton of threads about this - and you can easily find this in any google search/textbook.

I'd tell you the answers anyway, but I want you to start learning Hiragana and Katakana first - then Learn Japanese, don't learn simple phrases But if you buy a textbook, this stuff will be on the first page

I highlighted the areas that need to be fixed.

Pronunciation from romaji is not ideal. That's why I wrote in hiragana. Hiragana is easy to learn and you can ensure a correct pronunciation.

Someone who cannot read even hiragana should never say "ore".

There are also some spelling errors.
