Okay, then it sounds like you need a romanized version. If you have the ability,
please use the hiragana version. You are not doing yourself a favor by reading romanizations.
The self-introduction exists as a kind of bracket for all your personal information. You begin with
hajimemashite (nice to meet you) and end with
douzoyoroshiku (lit. please regard me favorably).
Build a simple introductory paragraph for yourself using the following vocabulary. Use X
wa Y
desu sentences. If you need any extra vocab, you can leave a message here, e-mail me, message me privately, or use

Pop me some questions. I'm sure there's stuff you want to say that I haven't provided words for. Maybe I used some kanji or vocab you don't understand. Maybe you need to go over hiragana and katakana. I just want to know where you're at.
Also, if you can't view the characters, let me know. You've really got to fix that, because you can't learn Japanese from romanizations.
