Greetings from London!
こんにちはみんなさん!
名前はマイクですが, ロンドンをすんでいます. 日本語は2年べんきょう したんですが, このごろ先生とべんきょう しました. ひらがなとカタカナをかくことができるんですが,今かんじをべんきょうして います. むずかしいですね!
みんなさんをちょっとはなしたらいいなとおもいます!
よろしく おねがい します!
マイク
Hopefully that should say:
Hello everyone!
My name is Mike and I live in London. I have been studying Japanese for two years, recently I have studied with a teacher. I am able to write hiragana and katakana and at the moment I am learning kanji. It's difficult!
I think it would be nice to talk to you all.
Nice to meet you!
Mike

Don't complain to me that people kick you when you're down. It's your own fault for lying there

Re: Greetings from London!
You mean 'ようこそ' right?
Have I passed the first test?

Re: Greetings from London!
Heh, nice to meet you guys! Seriously though, was my intorduction OK? There are probably a few mistakes, especially as I'm still trying to get to grips with the plain verb conjugations.
Regards,
Mike

I'm just a beginner myself, but a few points I notice that might be wrong...
こんにちはみんなさん!
When using an honorific, みんな becomes みな... eg; みなさん
名前はマイクですが, ロンドンをすんでいます.
I think the が used in this sense is like "but...", so I'm not sure it works here? (See the が section of http://thejapanesepage.com/grammar/more_particles )
Also I think the second part should be ロンドンにすんでいます.
The rest either looks mostly right to me or is just beyond my skills yet to comment on.
(Beyond the points I already made.)Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can give you a better answer.

Re: Greetings from London!
Your Japanese is fairly good!
Here is the corrected version of your introduction.
こちらこそ、よろしく おねがい いたします。

こんにちはみなさん!
わたしの名前はマイクで、ロンドンにすんでいます。日本語を2年勉強しています。(or 日本語を勉強して2年になります。)さいきんは先生と(or 先生に付いて)べんきょうしています。ひらがなとカタカナをかくことができます。今はかんじをべんきょうしています。かんじはむずかしいですね。
みなさんと ちょっと おはなしができたらいいなと おもっています。
よろしく おねがい します。
こちらこそ、よろしく おねがい いたします。

Re: Greetings from London!
phreadom, thank you for the みなさん correction. I didn't know about this at all!
ranja, thank you very much for the corrected version. I've let myself down a little bit here by not paying enough attention to the particles, simple things I should have known! Apologies. Thanks to your answer, I have learned some new words though!
