Graded readers

今、私は少し話したいです。先週日本語のgraded readersをもらいました。１組の本もうありました；３組のも来ました。
本当に高いです：セットあたり＄２８ぐらいです。でも、私はそれを読むことができます、それからすこし楽しいです。色々な話がありあす。多分面白い；時々じゃない。
もうですね。I am temporarily giving up (mostly) on talking, because I'm always finding that I don't know how to say things even if I think I have the words.  If in Japanese you don't take medicine but drink it; 去る, despite being defined in jisho.org as "leave," isn't what you'd use for leaving a room (a kind commenter pointed this out when I was trying to write those Dad at the Zoo stories), I'm just going to have to have a lot more 日本語 coming in before I can trust my mind to generate the right turns of phrase.  I expect it's the same between languages generally:  knowing which prepositions to use; whether to take, make, go, or do something (make time/go wrong/etc).
