Of course you cannot say what you want to say, but maybe you are able to say something else.
You might not be able to express some complex idea from the get go but, would it be that difficult to say: konnichiwa, watashi wa Creutzer desu. Hajimemashite. ? :)
Is there an online transliterator or something? I don't know Japanese.
I can coherently ask my aunt if there's water in the fridge. Or tell someone that they're a son of a whore. That's about as far as it goes.
It's just a simple "hello, my name is X, nice to meet you" kind of greeting. All languages have them. They might sound silly for a native speaker but also endearing. They warm the atmosphere.
What would be a simple phrase that you would like to learn?
Asking this question 2 times and adding the answers to the "water in the fridge" & "son of a whore" would effectively double your skill. :)
