How do I apologise for my bad kanji/for using hiragana?


I am new to Japanese Language stack exchange and a beginner at learning
Japanese too.

I have recently gotten a Japanese penpal who is lovely. I want to send her a
message but I am having trouble getting across my meaning with these
sentences:

すみません、ひらがなです。

What I am trying to do here is apologise for mostly writing to her in
hiragana. But it looks like I'm just apologising for the existence of
hiragana, or something... How can I explain that I'm sorry about using my
hiragana in my penpal messages?

This is the next sentence:

私の漢字はだめ。

I'm trying to say my skills at kanji are not good, but again I don't think I'm
getting the right meaning across here. How would I say this?

I would really appreciate it if you could include romaji in your answer.




Add the です on the end and your sentence makes sense and is appropriate:
私の漢字はだめです。 If you want to say "sorry for writing in hiragana only", you're
close: ひらがなでかきますから、すみません。 (Literally, "because I'm writing in hiragana, sorry
[about that]".)

Putting the two together makes things clearest, I think:
私の漢字はだめです。ひらがなでかきますから、すみません。 Have fun writing and learning!
