I want a new bike
- atarashii jitensha ga hoshii
- 新しい自転車がほしい
The pattern is [the thing you want] + ga hoshii. There's another pattern using the ~tai verb suffix.
I want Chinese for dinner.
- chuuka o tabetai
- 中華を食べたい
You should learn both.

Thank you. I have been reading a book called "Japanese Step-by-Step" by Gene Nishi and it's really helping. I also got something called "Kanji Cards" which make learning kanji easy. I read through my book and whenever I see some type of kanji a lot, I look it up. I started teaching myself kanji and i already recognize at least 30.
私は日本語が下手です。 <- pretty sad sentence :P
I still need to practice writing kanji.

Hoshii is the word for want. Be careful though, hoshi means star. To say want make sure you hold the "i' sound.
