question
sentence
how to make a statement with two verbs
You might want to use the `〜ながら` sentence structure. So, in your case, it
would be

`私はごをやりながら日本語を勉強しています`

`ごをやりながら` = `while playing go`

`日本語を勉強しています` = `study japanese language`

The link below explains a bit further into the sentence structure.

Normally this is achieved by turning one of the verbs into the continuous –te
form:

```

    わたしはここに日本語を勉強して[囲碁]{いご}をやるために来ました。
    
```

You can replace やる with する for politeness.

Alternatively, you can use the ～り suffix but it's better to save it for cases
in which you enumerate many, many things:

```

    日本語を勉強したり囲碁をするためにここに来ました。
    
```

Note that in both cases, the を particle is mandatory.

You can use a conjunction また like 私はここに日本語を勉強しに、また、碁をやりに来ました。You may omit また.

Your sentence needs a bit correction like 私はにほんごとごをべんきょうします, which means "I
study Japanese language and the game of go.".

If these are not necessarily the only two things you came here to do, or if
you do these repeatedly, you could use the representative (-たり) form of the
verbals:

> 私はにほんごとごべんきょします

-> 私は日本語を勉強したり、碁をしたりします。

> i would like to say i came here to study or learn Japanese (language) and to
> play go

私は日本語{にほんご}を勉強{べんきょう}したり、碁{ご}をしたりするために、ここに来{き}ました。(or, depending on the
situation, ここに来たんです。)

You could also invert it like: ここに来たのは日本語{にほんご}を勉強{べんきょう}したり、碁{ご}をしたりするためです。

The representative might not cover every situation in which you're talking
about doing two activities. But it sounds like it could be used in your
situation.
