Ni Hao.
(No, I'm not Chinese. I can't understand spoken Chinese at all, despite the fact that
Japanese uses kanji which originally belongs to Chinese.
I can catch some of written Chinese though.)

I want the messege above read by people who can't understand Japanese,
so, here is the translation:
Can you speak English well?
I can only speak broken English.
We, Japanese, study English for at least 6 years in junior high school and high school.
However, the entrance exam to high school and university has no English speaking test
(there are reading, writing, listening test).
So, the English study in (junior) high school is all about grammar, and almost no speaking
practice is involved.
I also received such education, so I'm poor at speaking English.
50% of the reason why I came here, is I just want to practice English.
ひらがなだけ使ったらほとんどわかると思う。
romajiが本当にわずらわしいことと思うので、できたら、使っていないほうがいい。
でも、できにかたらだいじょうぶよ。
わたしはromajiで書かれていてもOKです。
日本人じゃない人には、romajiの方がずっと書きやすいと思います。
ところで、あなたはとても日本語が上手ですね。
そんなにたくさん漢字が使えるなんて、すごいです。
