Not sure about the exact placement for the "Please forgive me" (Sounds more polite than just "I'm sorry") since Japanese grammar is quite different.
For example, what we see as either a sarcastic comment or goodbye, {Take Care.} translates into a serious message for them, thus the playfulness is lost to them.
It's the same with {Nice to meet you.} That should always be used as a greeting, and not at the end of a party since in Japanese it comes off as an introduction (which obviously is weird at the end of a session) as opposed to us saying "It was nice to meet you." |
I would probably place {Please forgive me.} after {I don't speak Japanese.} =]
