For those of you who don't speak Japanese this translation was kindly provided by a Friend of mine.

Quote:
anatatachi wa nihongo ga wakarimasu ka
Do you (plural) understand Japanese?

Quote:
shirimasen! wakarimasu ne..
Don't know! Understand (don't you!)

Quote:
nihongo ga sukoshii wakarimasu. demo joozu ja arimasen
Understand Japanese a little. But (I'm) not good.


Quote:
nihongo no benkyoshimasu!
(I) do the study of Japanese!

Until this point the Japanese was natural, straight from the text book, but natural. The lack of subjects is normal once they have been mentioned once, as probably happened at the beginning of this conversation. The use of "no" with "shimasu" is completely wrong although understandable from a beginner.
