Can someone help with this Japanese sentence?

Mainichi no gogo, baabekyuu o shimasu.



The part I really don't understand is mainichi no gogo. I thought gogo meant p.m., but that doesn't really make sense to me here. Please help?



I apologize for the romaji. This is a new computer and I forgot how to set it to type in Japanese. :pCan someone help with this Japanese sentence?
well.., it's not wrong and understandable, but to be pricise, native speakers would write/say:
"(saikin = recently) gogo wa taitei (= often) baabekyuu o sh-ite imasu"

at least we rarely say "mainichi no gogo"
"(mainichi) gogo wa " "gogo wa mainichi/taitei" are common

"Mainichi no gogo" means "every afternoon." "Gogo" means P.M. but it can also mean afternoon in some cases. The entire sentence means, "Every afternoon, I have a barbecue."



As for setting your computer to type in Japanese:

Go to control panel, select Region and Language, then click the tab called "Keyboards and Languages." Click the "Change Keyboards..." button and you'll see a new window. Near the bottom, it'll say "Installed Services," so click the button next to it that says "Add." Scroll all the way down to Japanese and click the little plus sign next to it. Make sure the box labeled "Microsoft IME" is checked, then click OK. Back on the "Text Services and Languages" window, click "Apply." Now you should be able to type in Japanese. (This is for Windows, but if you have a Mac, I can direct you to a good tutorial for Macs as well.)
