せっかくですから、日本語の挨拶についてすこし共有します。
初めて会った人に対しては「はじめまして」が使われます。英語のNice to meet youに該当します。
基本的には朝昼晩で言葉が変わります。
朝は「おはよう」でGood morning、昼は「こんにちは」で〜、夜は「こんばんは」で〜になります。
「おはよう」については、目上の方については「おはようございます」になります。
ぜひ日本人を見かけたら声かけてみてくださいね。きっと喜ぶと思います。

Since this is a good opportunity, I would like to share about Japanese greetings with you for a bit.
"Hajimemashite" is used when you meet with someone for the first time. It corresponds to "Nice to meet you" in English.
Basically, the wordings vary depending on the time of the day.
In the morning you say "Ohayo" meaning Good morning, then "Konnichiwa" at noon, then "Konbanwa" in the evening.
To greet with a superior, "Ohayo" would be "Ohayogozaimasu".
If you see a Japanese person, try and talk to them, I am sure they would find it a pleasure.

I would like to use this opportunity to share a little about greetings in Japanese language.
We use "hajimemashite" to people we meet for the first time. It falls into "Nice to meet you" in English.
Basically, there are different greeting words for morning, day, and night hours.
We use "Ohayou" as Good morning in the morning, "Konnichiwa" during the day, and "Konbanwa" at night.
As for "Ohayou", we modify the word to "Ohayougozaimasu" when we greet our superiors and elders.
You should try these greetings if you see a Japanese. They will be delighted.

I will try and share some Japanese greetings with you since you asked.
When you first meet a person you use [Konnichi Wa]. In English this would be the same as 'Nice to Meet You' .
Basically the expression changes for morning/afternoon/evening.
In the morning we use [Ohaiyo], Afternoon [Konnichi Wa] and in the evening [Konban Wa].
Regardin [Ohaiyo], it is better for politeness to superiors to use [Ohaiyo Gozaimasu].
Please make sure to try and talk to Japanese people if you see them around. They will be very happy you did.
