a natural and short way to say I'm currently learning Japanese, and it isn't very good?


**background:** I'm playing Shogi 将棋 on a Japanese site since there are no
good english ones, and every once in a while someone tries to open a
converstaion with me. While I try to participate as much as I can I'm not
really sure how to say in a short manner "I'm not from Japan, I'm currently
learning Japanese but it's not very good yet, sorry" or something like that.

I've been thinking about stuff like  
すいません、私は現在日本語を勉強してる。日本語にはもう苦手。  
But it just doesn't sound very well to me (I'm not even sure it's correct).  
any better ideas?




Semantically, I think you can leave out "I'm currently studying Japanese" if
you're saying "My Japanese isn't (yet) very good," because it's pretty much
implied.

Your example sounds fine. You might also try things like:

>   * すみません、日本語はまだまだです。
>   * すみません、日本語の[初心者]{しょ・しん・しゃ}ですので、あまり分かりません。
