Why does the Romanian lanaguage look so different compared to the other Romance languages?

Because they use different letters and because you have been exposed to French, Italian and Spanish since like forever, while this isn't the case in Romanian.
Also, Romanian is in the eastern Romance family, while the other ones are western.

I'll just repost this here and wait until some kind nihonjin decides to correct it for me.

Easy
>彼らは一緒に行く。
>うちの猫は逃げた。

Normal
>くそっ、スティーブン、ダメだって!
>狩るのを教えられる。
>目が悪いの?
>割れるガラスに踏み込むことに気をつけて。
>冷蔵庫にアイスがなくて、店に買い物に行くお金もなかった。

Hard
>行きたくない村の行き方は聞くな。
>敵より、彼は味方をきつく怖がっている。惜しげなく褒めるのはもっとも傷つけるのだ。
>抽象的な考え方しかしない理論家は、モダーンなデコアのように、頭の家具が疎ら、空しく、居心地悪くなるという風の危機を冒す。

Centuries of being isolated from the other Romance languages after the fall of the Roman Empire + being in close contact with Slavic languages

I'll repost my try too :

Easy
>They are going together.
Sie gehen zusammen
>My cat ran away.
Mein Katze flieht.
>He won't do it again.
Er will nicht es nochmal machen
>You're a student, aren't you?
Bist du ein Studenten ?
>I know how to swim.
Ich kann schwimmen

Normal
>Damn it, Stephen. I said no!
Ach Stephen, ich habe nein gesagt !
>I can teach you how to hunt.
Ich kann dich jagen unterrichten
>Are your eyes bad?
Sind dein Augen schlecht ?
>Don't step on the broken glass.
Geht nicht auf der brechen Glass
>There was no ice cream in the freezer, nor did they have money to go to the store.
Es gab kein Eis in der Kühlschrank and sie hatten kein Geld um zur das Geschäft zu gehen

Still learning and asking for german corrections

Sie gehen zusammen
Meine Katze ist weggelaufen
Er wird es nicht noch einmal machen
Du bist ein Student, oder?
Ich kann schwimmen

Verdammt, Stephen. Ich sagte nein!
Ich lehre dich zu jagen
Sind deine Augen schlecht?
Geh nicht auf dem zerbrochenen Glas
Es gab kein Eis im Gefrierschrank, sie hatten auch kein Geld, um in den Laden zu gehen

Frag nicht nach dem Weg zu einem Dorf, zu dem du nicht gehen willst

Meant to quote the last thread's challenge but whatever

Well, i'm the guy who wrote this And I can tell your levzl is far beyond mine. I can see my mistakes as I read your propositions

I don't claim to be 100% correct but it seems like you're particularly struggling with vocabulary and past tense. I don't know how you're learning but I'd recommend something structured (PDF of a textbook or whatever) and drilling its exercises over and over until you don't even need to think about how to do them

Also declension which I never formally learned and just picked up after a good while, but there's tons of charts like pic related for it
