If you have a question about the language, ask it and fellow 4channers might see it and answer it for you.

もし変なことを言ったら許して下さい is literally, "Please forgive me if I say anything strange". That's fine, but a mistake in Japanese (just like any language) could be "strange" or it could just be wrong from a grammatical or contextual sense. Saying this might make your audience think you're going to talk about how you like to stick a banana up your grandmother's ass. That's strange. Not necessarily "wrong".

(talking directly about your Japanese)
もし日本語を間違えたら、もし日本語を話すのに失敗したら、もし日本語が少し変に聞こえたら、

(talking about saying something strange, wrong, etc.)
もし違和感があることを言ったら、もし不自然なことを言ったら、

(varying levels of politeness [low to high])
許してください、お許しください、お許しくださいますようお願いします、お許しいただきたく、お願い申し上げます
