Sorry, Cantonese is not a language by the way... its a dialect.
Some people go around bragging "i know 7 languages: English (1), Malay (2), [then starts the dialect marathon] Mandarin, cantonese, hakka, hokkien, teochew, etc."
all of which are actually considered as one language -___-
Mandarin, cantonese, hakka, hokkien, teochew = 1 language!!

By the way, how come your sister doesn't know malay?? shouldn't that be essential in malaysia? unless she doesnt live in malaysia.. =/
I speak English, Malay, Cantonese, and Japanese. but i still suck at kanji... any one got easy methods to learn kanji other than asking me to practice writing?? Unfortunately i got no time to practice writing -__- i've got alot of "other" stuff to practice 

Actually, there is debate whether they are languages or dialects. If you follow the mutual intelligibility concept in defining dialect, then mandarin, cantonese, hokkien etc are considered different languages and not dialects since the speakers are unable to understand each other.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_intelligibility

personally, even if they are not really distinct languages, i still look up to the diversity of the languages people know!
trying to learn Bahasa Malaysia (apperantly not Malayu anymore?) but too lazy... its because of you malaysian people being good at english! 
as for learning kanji,
get a cute penpal, and write to her in japanese. this works.

-or-

read more japanese, and kanji will be stored somewhere in your subconscious mind, so it won't be a problem when writing (especially when writing using computer)

get some japanese books, manga would be a good place to start, and if you get advanced read something like Murakami Haruki japanese edition.

well, my phone is able to sms in japanese too, so itll be useful for me to learn if i can get someone willing enough to text me everyday in japanese xD

Sensei = Ok fine. Have a seat
Student = Arigatou gozaimasu.
Sensei = Today we are going to learn about the cities in the world. Have you been to Tokyo?
Student = Iie, I havent. but I have been to Paris.
Sensei = I see. When did you go there?
Student = Sengetsu watashi wa kazoku to ikkimashita.
Sensei = How many hours does it take to go there?
Student = Around 8 hours. ( This one I main bantai saja)

Student = Yes I did. It was tall and beautiful.

You need to translate from English to Japanese or the other way round?

Erm if it's your language proficiency test, kinda defeats the purpose of taking the test if other people do the translations for you right? =/

Doushite okurerun desu ka?

Sou desu ka? Ja, seki ni suwatte kudasai

Kyo no lesson de wa, sekai no toshi ni tsuite manabi shimasu. Kimi wa Nihon ni itta koto ga arimasu ka?

iie, itta koto ga arimasen. Demo...

Basu ga imasen. Watashi wa hitori de daigaku e ikkimashita. Hitori de niju-fun gurai kakarimasu.
- Bus is not animated object so cannot use imasen. Use "kimasen" (didn't come).

Eifuru Tawa wa takai desu. Soshite kirei desu.
- this can also write as "Eifuru Tawa wa takakute, kirei desu."
