YOU SAID:
The house down the street is red and yellow
INTO JAPANESE
通りの向こうの家は赤と黄色
BACK INTO ENGLISH
The house across the street is red and yellow
INTO JAPANESE
向かいの家は赤と黄色
BACK INTO ENGLISH
The house opposite is red and yellow
INTO JAPANESE
向かいの家は赤と黄色
BACK INTO ENGLISH
The house opposite is red and yellow
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
