Not to be a party pooper, but just point out something I noticed...

Where you say :

"etoo...supotsu,ongaku to nihon no dorama mo, ga ichiban daisuki desu"

You can leave out the GA because the particle MO takes it's place (not true of all particles, but certainly in this case). So the sentence should read:

"etoo...supotsu,ongaku to nihon no dorama MO ichiban daisuki desu"

Now, not to say that what you've said is wrong, but let's make the sentence more natural:

"Eetoo... Sports to ongaku to nihon no dorama ga ichiban daisuki desu"
"えーと…スポーツと音楽と日本のドラマが一番大好きです。"

The "to" (と) used above indicates that ONLY the things listed are your favorites things to do. This implies that there is nothing else you really like apart from those things listed. If you want to imply that there are other things you like but can't list them all, you would say:

"Eetoo... Sports ya ongaku ya nihon no dorama nado ga ichiban daisuki desu"
"えーと…スポーツや音楽や日本のドラマなどが一番大好きです。"

The "ya" (や) and "nado" (など) are like two ends of the same chain, they always come together (although "nado" is sometimes omitted). "Ya" comes in between everything you list, and "nado" comes right after the final thing you list. This sentence pattern implies that you really really like sports, music and Japanese dramas among other things. The "to" particle is very specific and limiting so you may find that it's not used as commonly as "ya" and "nado".

If you wanted to be more specific about the things you like, for example mawchan/Maureen said she likes to "do" sports, "listen" to music, and "watch" Japanese dramas. While all of this is implied by simply stating "sports" or "music" you can actually describe the things you like "doing" as opposed to just simply describing "what" you like. Sounds a little complicated, but it's not really. If anyone's interested I can explain further.

Sorry to hijack, good luck to us all!

hmm, sorry to come posting here all of a sudden(I was browsing through d-addicts and saw this latest topic)...

daisuki is to like a lot, but ichiban daisuki is your favourites right? Usually I see it used for identifying things in specific, so I'm wondering can ya/nado be used directly with ichiban daisuki? as ya/nado seems to represent "things like..."

Can anyone help?

Once again, sorry to enter with such questions, but since this is a learn jap thread, so hopefully questions and doubts are allowed as well. ^^

I personally find "ichiban daisuki" to be a bit too strong a phrase to use when describing more than one thing. If I'm talking about many things like sports, music and Japanese dramas then I will omit the "ichiban" and just put "daisuki" because by stating those specific three things you are immediately highlighting them anyway. You're right, "ichiban" is used to highlight one specific thing (you like). For the sentence I used as an example above, I would probably say it like this:

"Eetoo... Sports ya ongaku ya nihon no dorama nado ga daisuki desu"
"えーと…スポーツや音楽や日本のドラマなどが大好きです。"

("daisuki" itself is still pretty strong for me, but that's just a personal thing)

Hope that helps.
