أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ
uridu an ata'allama as-salah

When to say it
Say this to an imam, teacher, or trusted person at the masjid. It is direct and sincere. You can replace as-salah with al-arabiyyah to say that you want to learn Arabic.
This is practical Modern Standard Arabic. Local speech changes from place to place, but this wording is respectful and widely understood.
