Re:Help with a sentence!
Hi. Ughhh... I'm afraid to say, every one of all of yours is not correct.
"The original English sentence" is,
You bought a new bike last week, but it was stolen yesterday.
So, your translations below were made without inserting "You" in Japanese.
As a native Japanese speaker, I would say,
先週新しい自転車を買ったそうですが,昨日盗まれてしまったようですね。
Your 3 translations unfortunately are, like, something that speaks about the incident which happened to you.
Now, you might wonder and may point out my expression also does not have
Japanese word "貴女＝あなた", which is You.
However, I am "controlling" the "direction" by using the last particle.
"ね" is a particle that suggests "the conclusion or the confirmation".
This particle is not used "toward yourself". Only on the contrary "toward other people or person".
Please be noticed this slight different will have a great impact on your
translation, since only with omitting a particle that suggests you are
talking about not yourself.
I wish this might have helped you.

Help with a sentence!
I am suppose to use ～たばかり and translate this sentence to japanese
(You bought a new bike last week, but it was stolen yesterday. )
Was wondering which of these is more correct:
先週、新しい自転車を買ったばかりですが、昨日は盗まれました。
昨日、先週の買ったばかりの自転車は盗まれました。
先週の買ったばかりの自転車は昨日、盗まれました。
The last two sentences are missing *atarashii, but don't know where to put it or which particle to use. Could use some help, thanks :)
In addition, I could use someone to practice Japanese grammar with..

Hello.
Hello, my name is Seiya and I am currently seeking a penpal fluent in Japanese. I would like to discuss a variety of topics in both Japanese and English. I am very new to the Japanese language, so patience would be greatly appreciated, as I still have much to learn. I am teaching myself Japanese through a variety of educational resources. I can currently read and write in hiragana and I am currently working on learning katakana. I find Japanese grammer the most confusing aspect of learning Japanese, but my favourite part is the vocabulary its self. Any tips, tricks, or advice, would be greatly appreciated. I am not a goldmember, but please feel free to contact me if you are interested in being penpals. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello there!
My name is Louis. I've been trying to learn Japanese and I think it would be a lot easier if I had a partner to help me study it.
English is my native language, so if you know Japanese and trying to learn English, I will do my best to help you.
I like reading manga, watching anime, making new friends all over the world and writing short stories.
If you're interested, please reply.
