Translation assistance please! :)
I recently got a japanese pen pal and I'm having just a tad bit of trouble clarifying exactly what she means by some things, most things i understand, but it's a bit more casual than i'm used to, so I just thought i'd ask for some help on the things i can't understand.
私でよかったらにほんごおしえますよ is this along the lines of, "I will teach you english well?" あっでもかわりにえいごおしえてくださいー is this, speak instead in english? I can't really figure it out 長くなちゃってごめんなさい i picked up length and sorry here, but i'm not quite sure :/ あと、敬語(~です。とか)やめちゃってください i'm pretty sure this is like, you don't have to use honorifics? Thanks for any and all help :) |

is this along the lines of, "I will teach you english well?" Yeah. More precisely, "If you find me good enough for it, I wil ~~~~." It does not say "well". あっでもかわりにえいごおしえてくださいー is this, speak instead in english? I can't really figure it out "And in exchange for that, please teach me English." 長くなちゃってごめんなさい i picked up length and sorry here, but i'm not quite sure :/ "Sorry about the long (message/letter/email/whatever you're using to communicate with this person)" あと、敬語(~です。とか)やめちゃってください i'm pretty sure this is like, you don't have to use honorifics? Right. "Please get rid of the polite speech such as "です"." |

is this along the lines of, "I will teach you english well? Where are you seeing "English"? It's an offer to teach you Japanese. あっでもかわりにえいごおしえてくださいー is this, speak instead in english? I can't really figure it ou In exchange she wants you to teach her English. 長くなちゃってごめんなさい i picked up length and sorry here, but i'm not quite sure :/ She is apologizing for the long message. あと、敬語(~です。とか)やめちゃってください i'm pretty sure this is like, you don't have to use honorifics? She is asking you not to use polite language, even though she is here in every sentence. |

We posted about the same time. Thankfully I did not contradict you.

I guess I should point out that the first sentence says "Japanese" not "English."
