Some of the example sentences on the page for のが上手 don’t have “だ” or “です” at the end, so I thought it would still be gramatically correct to leave that out in casual conversation. Is that right? Thank you for the corrections!
残念だけど、勉強すれば勉強ほど忘れてしまいそうだ。
Translation
Unfortunately, the more I study the more I seem to forget.

Hi there!
If you don’t mind me correcting your sentence, since 勉強 is not a verb, what you need is する instead. As in: 勉強すればするほど. Or you could write 勉強すれば勉強するほど, but that’s too long. It would be grammatically correct though.
The rest looks good 
.
HTH!

Trying to figure out the difference between い-adjectives and な-adjectives.
Translation!
Also, how do you hide translations? Edit: Thanks Mango1!
This is a big daikon radish. It’s my favorite vegetable.
い-adjectives will generally end with an “い”, like あたらしい. Not every adjective that ends with an い sound is an い adjective, but a 99% of the time you will be able to correctly identify them. If written in Kanji form, the い will be outside the kanji, like 新しい、高い、軽い、etc. These are easy because you don’t need to do anything when using them to modify a noun, ex: 新しい財布 (new wallet).
な-adjectives will generally be recognizable by being kanji only (when in kanji form), and you need to add a “な” when modifying a noun, ex: 綺麗なコート (pretty coat).

私の母は実話に基づいた犯罪ドキュメンタリーの番組とか大好きだ。そんなことよく見るおかげで、法科学に興味になって、いろんなことよく学んで、法科学について教科書でも書いたよ。やってみたいことがあれば「やってみよう！」って言うという点で母の一番いい点だと思う。
Translation
My mom loves true crime TV shows that are based on true stories. Thanks to watching that kind of thing a lot, she got interested in forensic science and learned various things about it, and she even wrote a textbook about forensics. If she wants to do something, she just says “Let’s do it!” and I think that’s the best thing about my mom.

How did you add furigana?
like this: (漢字)
<ruby>漢字<rt>ふりがな</rt></ruby>
Or you can split it up per character: (漢字)

I wanted to use よくなかった. I had to look up the past plain tense of 食べる. Hopefully going to tackle godan and ichidan verb conjugations today and tomorrow. If anyone has any tips for understanding them, please share
