I'm constantly practicing and creating new japanese phrases in my head, so far
it has been easy to speak it, although without a computer it's hard to write
the alphabets, I get confused with all the Kanjis, Hiragana and Katakana, I do
know how to distinguish them but sometimes I can't read them, especially the
Kanjis, therefore, I wrote this sentence and I'd like to know if it was
correct.

> 明日私達は映画をみる私はみきーちゃんを好きですでもみきーちゃんは私をすきじゃない。 Tomorrow we'll watch a movie, I
> like Miki-chan but Miki-chan doesn't like me.

About this sentence I'd like to know if I can put another は instead of でも, I
heard that I can use は to emphasize the phrase following it. Is it correct?

What's wrong with my sentence?
> I'd like to know if I can put another は instead of でも

No, you can't. でも is a conjunction (like "however" in English). は is a
particle, which determines the role of the phrase that _precedes_ it. They are
grammatically different, and is never interchangeable.

I'm not sure what you've actually heard about "は for emphasis". Perhaps you've
just heard about contrastive- _wa_?

Other comments:

  * Use Japanese commas and periods appropriately.
  * Don't mix polite form (～です/～ます) in the middle of the text written in plain form. It looks more strange than you might imagine.
  * What's the horizontal bar between みき and ちゃん for? Is it intended to be a hyphen? Such a long bar means a long vowel marker (i.e., it turns "Mi-ki" into "Mi-kee") in Japanese. You should omit that bar.

Corrected version:

> 明日私達は映画をみる。私はみきちゃんを好きだ。でもみきちゃんは私をすきじゃない。
