I need a bit of help with my homework. So if you know anything, feel free to help me out. Please note that we are only working in Hiragana at this time, so if you do type in that format please use Hiragana. Secondly, you don't have to. You can just type something like "sensee" instead of typing in Hiragana. In fact I hope you type without using Hiragana.
Anyway I am having some problems with placing words. Let me start off by telling you what the exercise says.
"Translate the following phrases into Japanese using the frame work "A [no] B.""
Okay, now let me use my first problem as my question.
"Japanese teacher"
It should go [nihon no sensee]. Right? It didn't say he was a Japanese language teacher, just a Japanese teacher. So I chose to not add the [go]. In the case this were possessive (e.g. [wastashi]), I would put the subject first, then [no], then the topic. According to my notes at least. Leading into the next phrase.
"Masao's telephone number"
If everything is correct it would go [Masao no denwa bangoo].
And should I be adding [desu] to the end of my sentences? That means "is" right? In which case it would not be necessary here.
I might add more questions later on, so please check back. (I will post instead of editing my thread.)

So that I can type Japanese on my keyboard, what is the process? I went to "Control Panel" and enabled Japanese on my keyboard. Whenever I switch to Japanese though, it does nothing. I'm not sure what to change.
I'm using Windows Vista.

Now my obligatory Japanese video. Thank you for your time.
