How to greet someone in Japanese and tell them your name
Things You'll Need
Instructions
1When you first meet someone you would say "Hajimemashite. <insert your name here> desu. Dozo yoroshiku." What this means is "How do you do? I'm <yourname>. Pleased to meet you." This isn't a literal translation since the literal translation would sound funny to most English speakers.

Wondering how to pronounce that? Worry not! Here is an easy guide. I'll break down each word starting with Hajimemashite. It will be easiest to break it down into sections. So "ha ji me ma shi te." Ha is exactly like it looks. Like haha. But without the second ha. Ji sounds like you are saying jean but stopping halfway through. Me is pronounced like you are saying May. Ma is like mamma. The shi isn't fully pronounced, if you just do the sh sound you'll be all good. Te is pronounced like day with a t. Say it slow at first and then speed up once you are comfortable with the parts.

I'm not going to help you pronounce your own name. If you can't I would suggest you stop drinking. :) If you still can't then I would suggest professional help! But desu is easy so don't worry. You'll even be able to say it drunk. The u is silent so you are basically saying des. Like yes, but with a d.

Dozo yoroshiku is pretty much exactly like it looks. Except that this time the shi is fully pronounced like the word she.
