you can't spell dweeb without weeb.

But to the people over in Japan or the people who learned Japanese and didn't use Google Translate or Rosetta Stone, have fun with that word.

Proof: Google translate always puts "Watashi no" instead of "Boku no" because boku no is for males only.

"Boku wa" is My "Boku no" is I am

But I used this thing called "lexilogos" and it has a chart of lots of language.

It doesn't have words, just the letters.
(That isn't cheating, because I used my knowledge of japanese, right?)

btw Boku is not male only, it is masculine toned.

The "gender-specific" ways of saying "I" are actually gender toned.

Example, "Atai" is I, with a really feminine tone.

A male could technically use it, but he'd sound really girly by using it.

The only time I could imagine a person using a word to refer to "I" with a tone opposite of the speaker's gender is when quoting what someone of the opposite gender said or in a Japanese joke (I'd presume.)

it also seems you have forgotten the existence of Katakana.

Amerika would be written in Katakana since the word is not a native Japanese word.

Lastly, for the love of everything that is holy, PLEASE LEARN KANJI. As a Japanese speaker, you will need to know Kanji in order for you to say you know Japanese. It also saddens me to see that you apparently could not use Kanji as simple as "人" for Jin.

:(

You won't need a book on Katakana. It's as simple as memorizing the Katakana equivalent of the Hiragana letters.

As for Kanji, that wouldn't be a bad idea. There's about 2000-3000 Kanji commonly used in Japan.

""Boku wa" is My "Boku no" is I am

But I used this thing called "lexilogos" and it has a chart of lots of language."

No idea what that is.

First thing you need to know regarding charts,

Wa (は) is a topic particle. It's used for indicating the subject of the sentence but can also be used to introduce a new topic to a conversation. Take this for example:

一番好きな動物はなんですか?(Ichiban suki na doubutsu wa nan desuka?) - What is your favorite animal? (lit. As for best animal, what is?")

You could say in response:

私は、犬です。 (Watashi wa, inu desu.) - As for me, dogs. (that's not a literal translation, that would be the actual translation in this conversation)

Notice how は didn't indicate a subject. It was a new topic for the conversation (in this case "I")

の is a possessive particle. It can be used for "describing nouns with other nouns similar to how we described nouns with adjectives. This is usually used to describe ownership, membership, property or any other description that involves another noun." - Guide to Japanese

Example:

僕の車 (Boku no kuruma) - My car
日本の車 (Nihon no kuruma) - Japanese car
机の上 (Tsukue no ue) - On top of the desk

Also "です" (Desu) is "to be," therefore making 僕はアメリカ人 (Boku wa amerikajin) sound illogical.

You could remove desu from any sentence ending with it, except for this case.

-with い adjectives (Not な adjectives, if you try to remove "desu" from na adjectives you must add "だ" to it. It's used in some grammatical principles in Japanese.

I currently cannot think of any other reason for removing "desu," even though I do a lot and I don't have an explanation for it. Here are some examples of sentences without "desu"

最近は、忙しい。 (Saikin wa, isogashii) - I've been busy lately.
今日は忙しいけど、明日は暇です。(Kyou wa isogashii kara, ashita wa hima desu) - I'm busy today but I'm free tomorrow.
