Could you please help me by correcting anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
You can change the order of the sentences, or do whatever you want!
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang๏ผ ๐
Also, I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreigners.
I look forward to your constructive comments.โ๏ธ

We usually put spaces between sentences and emojis, but not everybody does that.

Connecting adverbs (ๆฅ็ถๅฏ่ฉ?) sound a little more formal in English. We avoid them in casual speech.

Present tense verbs (่พๆธๅฝข) sound a little formal too. Present continuous form (ใใฆใใใใฎใใใช็พๅจ้ฒ่กๅฝข) sounds friendlier. "Lemme know" (literally "let me know") is ๆ ฃ็จๅฅ that sounds playful and youthful!
B: Excuse me, mayHey, can I ask you something?
B: I wanna go to Nishi Arai, i. Is this the right train?
Let mme check.
Umm... No, it's this trainone.
A: Wait a minute.Hang on, I'll checkโฆ
"Wait a minute" sounds more like the speaker just had an idea.
A: You're welcome.
Some casual alternatives:
"Sure."
"Yeah."
"Yep."
"You bet." (Older people say this a lot.)
"No problem."
"No worries."
"Absolutely."
"Of course."
"My pleasure." (Similar to ใใกใใใ.)
"Don't mention it." (Similar to ใใใ.)
"Whatever." (This one sounds contemptuous, so be careful!)
Usually, each person chooses one of these that they always say.
Feedback
This sounds really good! Casual English evolves FAST and CONSTANTLY, especially on the Internet. A lot of native speakers just invent slang extemporaneously, and that's OK! Younger Americans are sloppy with punctuation in text messages and chat too, so you can leave periods off, like this
In fact, a lot of younger Americans think periods sound sarcastic. I use exclamation points a lot because it sounds friendly!
