Hajimemashite (pronounced Ha G May Mah Shtay) *enter name here* desu. (pronounced Dess) Doozoyorishiku.
It's actually a bit of a dialogue, when greeting someone for the first time.
Watashino namaewa spirenteh desu. *enter university here*no ichnensee desu.
(My name is spirenteh. I am a first year student of ____)
If it's your first Japanese class there is a good chance that you will spend a majority of time learning Hiragana, Katakana and some Kanji. You may be expected to know their meaning and how to write them, allllllll of them. And the Kanji can have different meanings depending on the compound words they are in.

You should get Kodansha's "Dictionary of Basic Japanese Sentence Patterns." It gives you many great patterns, including clear explanations and examples of each, with both Japanese characters and roman letters. Everything Kodansha publishes is fantastic.
