相手の好意で行動をしてもらったことに対する感謝の言葉への社会的慣習に合った返答。 (does it make sense ?!)

Languages are to me like a precious pearl unfortunetly we're not always capable to understand nor be sensitive to their beauty ^^ ! Your language is so beautiful, I'm so sorry I don't speak nor read it but I am always fascinated by its graphism and prosody. Have a lovely day

I really appreciate that you talk to me in Japanese, Barbara-san
I used to take a piano lesson when I was a child, so I still like to play Debussy's works.
But I couldn't read the title of them in French for a long time, so some years ago I got a French conversation textbook.
Still it's hard for me to read/write/pronounce French but I love the sound of it
Merci, Madame Bruno I always appreciate your kindness ^^
Glad to hear that, I'm going to finish that essay that I'd like you to translate, thankfully now I feel much better

ご成功を祈ります。 !!
Piano is a wonderful musical instrument and you're a complete artist. Musics is opening hearts and souls, and also logics through mathematics ^^ !!
Anyway, take very good care of you, dearest friend. And please let me know which size is this essay to know if I can help.

Yes, it looked like this - a big tree and people going there And the street - where it goes and where leads? I remember a noisy plase with lots of houses which suddenly opens if to follow the road, but it could be so in old times...
