Introducing Yourself in Japanese

Hajimemashite: How do you do?
Doozo Yoroshiku: It's nice to meet you.

A simple introduction, when meeting a person for the first time, could go like this:

Person 1: Hajimemashite. Rondillo desu.
Person 2: Hajimemashite. Lee Hyori desu.
Person 1: Doozo yoroshiku.
Person 2: Doozo yoroshiku.

Translation
Person 1: How do you do? I am Rondillo.
Person 2: How do you do? I am Lee Hyori.
Person 1: It is nice to Meet you.
Person 2: It is nice to Meet you.

You could also add a few of these greetings with the dialogue:
O-namae wa: What is your name?
Ohayoo gozaimasu: Good morning (formal).
Ohayoo: Good morning (informal).
Konnichi wa: Good afternoon.
Konban wa: Good evening.
O-genki desu ka?: How are you?
Shitsuree shimasu: Excuse me (as in good bye).
Ja mata: See you later.
Ja: See you later (informal).
Sayonara: Goodbye.
O-yasuminasai: Goodnight.

RE: Introducing Yourself in Japanese

Ano.. Rondillo-san I think there's a mistake in these lines


Person 1: Hajimemashite. Rondillo desu.
Person 2: Hajimemashite. Lee Hyori desu.
Person 1: Doozo yoroshiku.
Person 2: Doozo yoroshiku.

According to my level it should be something like this


Person 1: Hajimemashite. Rondillo desu.
Person 1: Doozo yoroshiku.
Person 2: Lee Hyori desu. Kochira koso yoroshiku

RE: Introducing Yourself in Japanese

Unfortunately, I'm not very fluent Toungue But if If I understand the first question, from a textbook I use at Cal State Long Beach, Yookoso. I only have a semester's worth of experience Toungue so I'm not very good X) It takes me a while to understand lol
