今天早上天气晴天但是午饭后马上下大雨了。天越来越黑色的。马路看起来河。但是当我回家了天气再晴天。今天晚上我的太太出去唱歌那么晚饭后我洗碗了。我练习写汉语。我找到着越来越我写汉语前面我写了Pinyin.

Not sure about that last sentence. I understand it but I think 越来越 may be wrong here.
Tried to think of how to write it myself but could not, I could only completely rewrite any one out there able to offer help?

Not sure about the 越来越 either, but a couple of other things strike me with that last sentence. I think Keth with 找得到着 you are trying to say "I'm finding". Firstly I'm not sure that zhao can be used in this "discovering" sense...perhaps it can but I tend to think of it more being used for finding something you had been looking for rather than a discovery/observation. I would have been more inclined to use 发现 here. I'm also not sure whether or not you can tack 着 on the end of 找得到 like that. Once again perhaps you can but it sounds unnatural to me. Also in that sentence I think you meant 汉字 rather than 汉语。 Just my take on it for what it's worth.

Keth
First what I was trying to say was “ I am finding that more and more I am writing in Chinese wereas before I wrote in Pinyin.” What I mean is that when I make notes I would write in Pinyin and then the character. Now I am finding I can just write the character.
The point about using “zhaodao” in this sense of “finding” is a good one. I didn’t think of using discover. The whole question of when you can or cannot use 着 as the “ing” is unclear to me. I just guess and hope for the best!

trevorb
I understood you, but I think it was because I'm English too :-)
I sometimes write notes in meetings that are in english but replace the english words with 汉字. Helps me remember them but doesn't bog me down with grammar, unless I feel like doing both :-) would be easier if I could figure out how cursive 汉字 work...!

你能忘了samba的新步,但是你的中文进步很快。你比我学习很快。 你的生日很有意思,游泳,跳舞,学中文,照顾孙子,这么多事情。 你的儿子只有一个孩子吗 孙子是多大。
我的大儿子十九岁了,我希望几年以后有孙子们啊
