I've just started my journey through Tobira and I would like to know how to
make a native style answer, like what conjunctions do they usually use. For
example, how would you answer this in Japanese:

> "Where would you like to go in Japan? Why?" (more than 1 place).

The main problem that I'm having is whether I should use the reason first or
after I mention the place.

For example is this the best way to answer it:

> アニメが好きですから大阪に行きたいです。それと街が知りたいですから東京にいきたいです。

Should I use that order using から or should I use something like:

> 東京に行きたいです。それは街が知りたいですから。

I would like to know which one sounds more natural? Or is there another way to
answer it, that sounds more natural?

Thanks, Nickzus

Japanese complete answer
Both are correct. I don't think there is a meaningful difference in English,
either. ("I like anime so I want to go to Osaka." vs "I want to go to Osaka
because I like anime.") If your reason part is long and spans several
sentences, it would be better to present the conclusion first. In a short
answer like this, however, it makes almost no difference.

By the way, when you present a reason after the conclusion, use からです, not
ですから. それは should be omitted unless you have to emphasize something. If you
wanted to say "metropolitan area", consider using 都会 instead of 街.

> 東京に行きたいです。都会の様子が知りたいからです。
