Basic introduction...

These basic phrases will help you out when you meet someone new.

Words needed:
わたし - watashi - I (as in yourself)
の - no - (belongs to) for example 'watashi no - ' changes 'I' to 'my'
なまえ - namae - name

My name is (Quinn)
Watashi no namae wa (Quinn) desu.
わたしのなまえは(クイン)です.

Please note the 'wa' is spelled using the Hiragana character は not わ

You can also use words introduced in some of the previous posts.
For Example:

How do you do?
My name is Quinn.
Nice to meet you.

Hajimemashite.
Watashi no namae wa (Quinn) desu.
Doozoyoroshiku.

はじめまして.
わたしのなまえは(クイン)です.
どうぞよろしく.

Note: when using desu on the end of a sentance, the 'u' on the end of 'desu' is silent.
