マリーと日本語を勉強 / Studying with Marie. Is this right?


マリーと日本語を勉強 or マリーと一緒に日本語を勉強する ?

I just started learning kanji, so i'm not sure which one would be the correct
way to say this.

I'm trying to write "Studying with Marie"




マリーと一緒に日本語を勉強する ("I study Japanese together with Marie") is perfectly valid as
an ordinary sentence, but it's unnatural as the title of a website, a book,
etc. On the other hand, マリーと日本語を勉強 ("Studying Japanese with Marie") is much
better as a title, but it sounds too blunt and clumsy as an ordinary sentence.
Your kanji usage is fine.

There is still room for improving マリーと日本語を勉強. マリーと日本語 **の** 勉強 looks better
than your attempt because 勉強 can work as a simple noun. And マリーと学ぶ日本語 would
look even better and natural, and actually there are many books titled in this
pattern. The first three real examples I found on Japanese Amazon were:
"SNOOPYと学ぶアメリカ文化", "メイドと学ぶ商会経営" (NSFW) and "わかばちゃんと学ぶWebサイト制作の基本".
