Hello. Jim! I am sorry to hear that you can not speak Mandarin well. Don't worry. it is natural for a foreigner to come to China. I think by a lot of practice you can speak it well. I can give you some advice on it . First you should take part in as many activities as you can to improve your Chinese. Second you should listen to music or Chinese programmes . Third you shoud make friends with Chinese so that they can help you to learn Chinese. I hope that you can learn it well soon.
