Hi, I'm new to Japanese (a few weeks in) and sometimes I need help with questions, in which I have nobody to help me. (obviously) I'll probably need a lot of help so thanks in advance.

I know Hiragana, Katakana, and some Kanji (roughly 20?) Anyways, onto my question.

Would 'すみませんぼくはしょしんしゃの日本語です。' translate to 'Sorry, I'm a beginner to Japanese'?

I'm not sure where to put すみません in the sentence, or if it should be a completely different sentence.
