How do I apologize for my bad Japanese?


I am writing a short letter in Japanese. I will doubtless make many mistakes.
What is a nice way to acknowledge this to the recipient?

_I apologise for using the forum incorrectly. With the help of these answers
and other sources as indicated in the comments, I drafted an apology for bad
Japanese as follows:_

>
> _三年【さんねん】以上【いじょう】前【まえ】に日本語【にほんご】を勉強【べんきょう】する事【こと】が始【はじ】まる。学習【がくしゅう】時間【じかん】は手短【てみじ】かったら、日本語【にほんご】の表現【ひょうげん】は間違【まちが】っているかも知【し】れません。私【わたし】の日本語【にほんご】が変【へん】だったらすみません。_

_"I have been studying Japanese for a little over three years. As this is
short time to be learning, my Japanese is not without errors in expression. If
my Japanese is strange, I apologise."_




By reading your sentences, I can easily understand what you're trying to say.

So I'll keep my corrections to a bare minimum:

> 三年と少し前に日本語を勉強し始めました。学習時間がまだ短いので、日本語の表現が間違っているかもしれません。私の日本語が変だったらすみません。
