Hi,
Sorry, I can't tell something useful for your home stay, because I have no experience.
The following is simple Japanese.
I think maybe it's easy to be understood.
But grammatical explanation is not strictly correct.

1. I only speak a little Japanese
私は watashi wa : I
少しだけ sukoshi dake : only a little
日本語を nihongo wo : Japanese
話す hanasu : speak
ことができる koto ga dekiru : can

watashi wa sukoshi dake nihongo wo hanasu
watashi wa sukoshi dake nihongo wo hanasu koto ga dekiru

2. I want to learn more Japanese
私は watashi wa : I
もっと motto : more
日本語を nihongo wo : Japanese
勉強 benkyo : to lean
したい shitai : want

watashi wa motto nihongo wo benkyo shitai

3. I would like to try and speak some Japanese while I am here.
私が watashi ga : I
ここに koko ni : here
いる iru : be
間に aida ni : while
私は watashi wa : I
色々と iroiro to : some
日本語を nihongo wo : Japanese
話して hanashite : to speak
みたい mitai : try/want

watashiga koko ni iru aida ni,
watashi wa iroiro to nihongo wo hanashite mitai

4. Could you please repeat that more slowly?
もっと motto : more
ゆっくり yukkuri : slowly
繰り返して kurikaeshite : to repeat
ください kudasai : please
