Is this Japanese correct? 2014/5/10 02:36
I trying to say "I am from San Francisco, California. I teach EFL in Los Angeles, California." But I do not know which I'd correct??

"Watashi wa shusshin San Francisco, California desu." Or "Watashi wa San Francisco, California."

And then "Watashi wa eigo o oshieru"??

My JP app is different from my JP textbook. Do not know which to use.

No, it's wrong.
This is an example easier to listen for Japanese.

Watashi wa California, San Francisco shusshin desu.
(Watashi wa) eigo o oshiete imasu.

In Japanese, the order of words is often the reverse and the subject words is often omitted.

Hello. I apologize. I messed up on my original post because I was posting from my cell phone.

I did mean to write "Watashi wa California, San Francisco shusshin desu." as my second option. Thank you ajapaneseboy!!! Happy to know it is correct.

For the second part I wrote it completely wrong because I pasted the wrong thing. I meant to write: Is "I teach EFL in Los Angeles, California." = Watashi wa Los Angeles, California de osier oshieru.

tokyo_friend_48 thank you!! but i still wanted to add Los Angeles
