I'm self-learning Japanese, and I usually struggle with the grammar. Because
English is my first language, I was wondering how you would say "I speak
Japanese but it's not my first language". Does 日本語を話せます、でも私の第一言語ありません sound
correct?

How to say "I speak Japanese but it's not my first language" in Japanese
I would use [母(国)語]{ぼ・こく・ご} ("native language"). Sounds more natural.
