Learning how to introduce yourself is one of the most important skills when you start speaking English. On the first day, you learned how to greet people with \u201cHello,\u201d \u201cGood morning,\u201d and other common phrases. Today, we will go a step further. You will learn how to say your name<\/strong>, tell people your country<\/strong>, and talk about your job<\/strong> or what you do in life.<\/p>\n When you meet someone for the first time, these three things are usually the first topics:<\/p>\n Your name<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where you are from<\/strong> (your country or city)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Your job<\/strong> (or what you study, if you are a student)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Let\u2019s break it down step by step.<\/p>\n The simplest way to introduce your name is:<\/p>\n \u201cMy name is [Name].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cI\u2019m [Name].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cYou can call me [Nickname].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cMy name is Maria.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cI\u2019m Ken.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cYou can call me Sam.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you want to be polite when meeting someone, you can also add:<\/p>\n \u201cNice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cMy name is Aisha. Nice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This short sentence is very common and makes your introduction friendly.<\/p>\n After saying your name, people often ask: \u201cWhere are you from?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m from [Country].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cI come from [Country].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cI live in [City, Country].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cI\u2019m from Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cI come from Brazil.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cI live in Cebu, Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you want to be more specific, you can mention your city and country:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m from Paris, France.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u201cI\u2019m from Seoul, South Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Your job is another key part of self-introduction.

I\u2019m from Germany. I\u2019m a student. Nice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHi, my name is Carlos. I\u2019m from Mexico City. I work as a software developer.
