I like green tea or white tea. I usually have a cup before going to sleep and for breakfast.
I like coffee too. I make a delicious espresso.
うん、お茶がおいしい!朝ご飯から就寝時までお茶も通常食べる。コーヒーがおいしくないので好き全然じゃない。でも、モッカが好きだ、チョコレートがあるから!
家族はコーヒーが好きとたくさん飲むよ。この茶の話は俺が煎茶を本当に飲まさせたいだろう!俺はすぐにいった方がいいと煎茶を作ろう!

お前のおいしいエスプレッソでは、お前はコーヒーを作る人か?
お前もコーヒーマシンがあるか?

三~四年日本語をべんきょうしたことがあるが日本語に行ったことが全然ない!俺は十分なお金保存した時一年間明確に日本へ行こう!でも、フルタイム働いて出るから…

Yeah, tea's nice! After breakfast and before bedtime tea (I) also drink. Coffee is not nice so don't like (it) at all. But (I) like mocca, because there's chocolate (in it)!
Family likes coffee and drink(s) alot (of it)! This tea conversation is really making me want (to) drink (some) Japanese tea! I soon go ought (to) and make (some) tea!

About your delicious espresso, are you (a) barrista?
You also have (a) coffee machine as well?

3-4 years Japanese language been studying but Japan never been to! When I have enough money saved up, I (shall) go to Japan for one year! But (only) after (I) leave (to) work full-time...

(...) indicate words that are not read in Japanese when translating but are needed in English to make (sense)...
"Why is it when you tell someone there are 4 billion stars , they believe it. But if you tell them that the paint is still wet, they have to touch it?"
Am I all that I am? Well, I am, that I am.

Que no. Solo que me gusta café rico. No tengo machinca, tengo un bialetti.

Nope. I just like good coffee. I don't have a machine; I have a bialetti.

I don't think so--I would use 大家.

可能,因为今天是星期五,大家很忙。

Since it's Friday, maybe everybody's busy.

我爱上海。。。我也爱德州。德州是我的家。

I love Shanghai...I also love Texas. Texas is my home.

No puedo amar ningunos mas. Viví en Tejas durante los años fui un niño. Tengo mas feliz en China, pero Tejas tiene una cielo azul y aire fresco. Un ciudad grande es...lleno de gente.

I can't love one more than the other. I lived in Texas during the years I was a child. I'm happier in China, but Texas has a clear sky and fresh air. A big city is...crowded.

对,是。他们要我是基督教,我不要。
他们的基督教徒改造他们的儿童。

Yeah, there are. They want me to be Christian, but I don't want to be.
Their Christianity transforms their children.
