I'm constructing a sentence where I want to say that "I really want to live in
Japan because then I would be able to speak Japanese every day, and because it
has many beautiful places" the way I've written it is below:

> 毎日日本語を話せし、たくさん所きれいだし、日本で本当に住むがほしいです。

I honestly feel a bit weird writing this myself because something seems off
about the sentence altogether. Am I allowed to put a potential form before し
in this manner? is there anything here that I could improve in terms of
sentence structure.

sentence
毎日日本語を話せし、たくさん所きれいだし、日本で本当に住むがほしいです
> 毎日日本語を話せし、たくさん所きれいだし、日本で本当に住むがほしいです。

There are small errors in each part of what you want to say, unfortunately. Or
fortunately, if you consider this a chance to study the language. It was
already pointed out in the comments that you were trying to use the potential
form, but mis-wrote it, it should be 毎日日本語を話せるし、... In your next sentence
fragment, you apparently leave out several connecting particles, and/or need
to rearrange your word order. In English we would say "there are many
beautiful places" but in Japanese the most common word order would become
"beautiful places many (are there)." Rather than telling you outright, I hope
you challenge yourself to rearranging the words on your own. One thing I will
say is don't forget that before a noun, きれい is a な adjective... and "are
there" is represented by an existence verb, the one for inanimate objects. ...
However, if you actually wanted to say it as "Many places there are
beautiful." THEN, your word order is correct, you just left out a couple
simple one syllable connective particles. There should be one between "many"
and "places", and a different one between "places" and "beautiful"... Make a
choice about which way you mean to say that middle section, and you should be
able to fix it up on your own without much difficulty. At the end,
日本で本当に住むがほしいです。... 日本で is not "wrong" precisely, but で is used to name a place
where some action is occurring, and with 住む, which is more a "state of being"
or connected to "going" somewhere (to live) the particle most commonly used is
に. As for the way you wrote 住む, you should either change it to the "したい" form,
or use の to change it to its noun version, because you can only "ほしい" nouns.
