Meeting for the first ever time

Hajimemashite
はじめまして

• ​Nice to meet you

Douzo yoroshiku onegai shimasu
どうぞ、よろしく ​おねがい　します

• Let's get along well

• We say 'hajimemashite' when we introduce ourselves for the very first time (It is very formal, and means, 'beginning')

• 'Douzo yoroshiku onegai shimasu' is a formal request and essentially means 'I hope we get along well'. 
  ​This works well at the end of the introduction.
