Self Introduction in Japanese

When you start to learn a foreign language, and if your goal is to speak it with people, what should you learn first? Self introduction!! Right? :)

I guess you guys already know how to say these expressions in Japanese:
-Hello. こんにちは/konnichiwa/
-Nice to meet you. はじめまして/hajimemashite/
-I'm... わたしは/watashi wa.../
-Thank you. ありがとう（ございます）/arigatou (gozaimasu)/
You can check some common greetings in this post, too:

There're tons of resources about self introduction in Japanese. They tell you how to say where you from, what you do, what you like, etc. I want to add some expressions to your self-introduction list.

(1) I just started learning Japanese.

日本語（にほんご）の勉強（べんきょう）を始（はじ）めたばかりです。

/nihongo no benkyou wo hajimeta bakari desu/

Or make it more simple --> I'm a beginner.

初心者（しょしんしゃ）です。

/shoshin-sha desu/

(2) I can't read or write Hiragana/Katakana yet.

まだひらがなとカタカナ（かたかな）がわかりません。

/mada hiragana to katakana ga wakarimasen/

Simple version --> I don't know the characters yet.

まだ文字（もじ）がわかりません。

/mada moji ga wakarimasen/

(3) Can you help me with learning Japanese?

日本語（にほんご）の勉強（べんきょう）を手伝（てつだ）ってください。

/nihongo no benkyou wo tetsudatte kudasai/

Simple version --> Can you help me please?

手伝（てつだ）ってもらえますか？

/tetsudatte morae masu ka?/

Now you can speak Japanese! ;)

Here's an idea for Language Exchange: What Should I Talk About?

Try it, and please don't afraid of making a mistake. If you have any questions or comments, I'll be happy to hear them! Or, why don't you try writing your self introduction here? ;)
