How do we introduce ourself in Japanese ?
Hajimemashite. Watashi wa Ruby desu. Taiwan kara
kimashita. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
(How do you do. I am Ruby. I'm from Taiwan. Nice to meet you).
The word desu is read des. You don't have to say 'u' in the end of the word.
OK, say good bye, and see you ..... sayonara,
mata-ne.....
