私は日本語を少しだけ話します。

わたしはにほんごをすこしだけはなします。

Watashi wa nihongo wo sukoshi dake hanashimasu.

私「わたし」(watashi)= I / me

は(wa)= topic particle (thus ‘watashi wa’ means that the topic of the sentence is ‘me’)

日本語「にほんご」(nihongo)= Japanese language

*日本「にほん」(nihon)= Japan

*語「ご」(go)= language

を(wo)= object particle (thus in this case, Japanese language is the object)

少し「すこし」(sukoshi)= a bit, a little

だけ「だけ」(dake)= only

話します「はなします」(hanashimasu)= to talk, to speak (polite)

*話す「はなす」(hanasu)= to talk, to speak (informal)
