× I don't like singing so much because I feel that I'm not good at singing, but sometimes I go to karaoke with my friends and I like listening to sing which my friends sing.
✓ I don't like singing so much because I feel that I'm not good at singing, but sometimes I go to karaoke with my friends and I like listening to the songs which my friends sing.
The phrase 'listening to sing' is incorrect because 'listen to' should be followed by a noun or noun phrase, not a verb. Here, 'sing' should be replaced with 'songs' to correctly express the idea of listening to what the friends sing.
× I'm in Japanese.
✓ I'm Japanese.
The sentence 'I'm in Japanese' is incorrect because 'in Japanese' implies being inside the language, which is not meaningful here. The correct way to express nationality or identity is 'I'm Japanese.'
× I was in Japanese elementary school and I learned how to sing when I was in elementary school, but I feel that I couldn't be able to improve my singing skill.
✓ I was in a Japanese elementary school and I learned how to sing when I was in elementary school, but I feel that I couldn't improve my singing skills.
The phrase 'couldn't be able to' is redundant because 'could' already expresses ability in the past. Also, 'singing skill' should be pluralized to 'singing skills' to refer to the general ability. Additionally, 'Japanese elementary school' needs an article 'a' before it.
× I want to thank for my friends if I can be able to sing well, but now I'm not good at singing so I want to practice it.
✓ I want to thank my friends if I can sing well, but now I'm not good at singing so I want to practice it.
The verb 'thank' does not require the preposition 'for' when followed directly by the object. Also, 'can be able to' is redundant; 'can' alone suffices.
× I think so because I usually listen to music which a famous singer and I feel happiness at that time.
✓ I think so because I usually listen to music by a famous singer and I feel happy at that time.
The phrase 'music which a famous singer' is incorrect; it should be 'music by a famous singer' to indicate the performer. Also, 'feel happiness' is unnatural; 'feel happy' is the correct adjective form to express emotion.
× Also many of my friends enjoy singing so I think it's true opinion.
✓ Also, many of my friends enjoy singing so I think it's a true opinion.
The phrase 'true opinion' needs an article 'a' before it to be grammatically correct. Additionally, a comma after 'Also' improves sentence clarity.
