Hey twix,

I am close even with the romanji translation?

今  まで  日本語   で   フォルム  使った     こと が ない けど、ima made nihongo  de   fuorum  tsukatta  koto ga nai kedo少し     チャット  して    みよう  かな?sukoshi  chyatto  shite  miyou  kana俺   の 日本語    は    まだまだ   だけど、とりあえず、誰   か  分かる?ore no nihongo ha(wa) mada mada dakedo  toriaezu  dare ka wakaru?

- rough translation:
until now I have not used Japanese in a forum but
let's have a little chat, shall we?
my Japanese is so-so but, in the meantime, does anybody understand?

Don't worry, you get used to the katakana/hiragana. I still have trouble sometimes with katakana as they are not seen as commonly as hiragana. Be extra careful of
these:

         katakana  so  　　ソ　　　　  n　　　　ン  tsu　　　ツ  shi　　　シ

looks pretty much the same, don't they?

is it just me or does the kanji for kami and the katakana for ne look the same....?

神、ネ。

As I mentioned somewhere else, katakana are all pieces of some kanji or other. In this case, the 'ne' katakana is a somewhat common radical that shows up on the left of many kanji, including the one for 'god'. Others:

社:company (会社, 'kaisha', company)
祖:ancestor　　(祖父, 'sofu', grandfather)
視:inspect　　　(直視, 'chokushi', facing directly)
礼:politeness　(失礼, 'shitsurei', rudeness)
福:blessing (福笑い, 'fukuwarai', weird japanese face toy thing)
