Simple Introductions 

If you want to know how to introduce yourself, it’s best to start with a couple of easy-to-use phrases. Simple introductions are perfect for a classroom round of presentaciones , where no follow up conversations are needed. It is important that people know you by your name and that you get to know others. These situations are usually quick, so take your time to say it right, there’s no reason to get nervous the first time you do it. All you need to know how to say is your name and a simple phrase. Here are two options:

Hola, me llamo John. Hi, my name is John.

Mucho gusto, yo soy John. Nice to meet you, I am John. 

These two phrases are acceptable in all contexts as well as in formal or informal situations. You can enhance them with more elaborate greetings if you need these introductions to be exceptionally formal or very relaxed. How to introduce yourself is up to you!

Detailed Introductions

Nevertheless, most of the situations we face on a daily basis happen outside a classroom. In these scenarios it is important to give a little more detail of who you are and what you do. Some people only wish to disclose random facts. But sometimes we want to connect and often share more personal things. So, how to introduce yourself in a more detailed way? Read ahead to find out!

How to Talk About Your Age

Follow your simple introduction with more details about your age. Here’s how to introduce yourself and include details on your age:

Hola, me llamo Ana. Tengo treinta (30) años.  Hi, my name is Ana. I am 30 years old. 

Mucho gusto, mi nombre es Rafael. Tengo cuarenta (40) años. Nice to meet you, my name is Rafael. I am forty years old.

Hola, yo soy Sebastián y tengo cincuenta y nueve (59) años. Hello, I am Sebastian and I am 59 years old.

How to Talk About Your Profession

Your profession, occupation or current job says a lot about you. Learn how to bring it up in an introductory conversation. Here are some examples of how to introduce yourself using your profession. 

Hola, soy Samantha. Tengo cincuenta y dos (52) años y soy arquitecta. Hello, I am Samantha. I am 52 years old and I am an architect.

Hola, soy Simón. Soy doctor. Hi, I’m Simon. I am a Doctor.

Mucho gusto, mi nombre es Roberto, soy artista. Nice to meet you, my name is Robert, I’m an artist.

Where are you from? Where do you live? Where do you work?

Sometimes it is easier to say where you were born or where you live than explaining why you have an accent. You can decide how much information you give when you think of how to introduce yourself.

These are a few examples of phrases you can use:

Soy de Barcelona. I am from Barcelona

Nací y crecí en Londres. I was born and raised in London.

Actualmente vivo en Manila, Filipinas. Nowadays I live in Manila, Philippines.

Vengo de Ottawa. I come from Ottawa.

Nací en Nueva Delhi pero ahora resido en la Ciudad de México. I was born in New Delhi but I reside in Mexico City.

Soy de Austin, Texas pero trabajo en Guatemala. I am from Austin, Texas but I work in Guatemala.

Interests Related to the Situation

If you want to break the ice, sometimes it is better to include something about yourself that makes you relatable or interesting. You say something about your hobbies, taste in books, your bucket list, fun experiences you’ve had, or the fact that you adore animals. 

The more compelling your interests are, the more people will feel engaged and likely ask for more details.

In this section you will master these topics while learning how to introduce yourself. 

Your Hobbies

Some people feel that their hobbies define them more than their profession. And it can be true. Fishing, camping, travelling, cooking, learning languages, reading, watching movies, working out, gardening, and playing an instrument are all on the menu ahead. 

Mis pasatiempos son la jardinería y tocar la guitarra. My hobbies are gardening and playing the guitar.

Me gusta acampar y hacer yoga. I’m into camping and doing yoga.

En mi tiempo libre, me gusta leer y escribir. I like reading and writing in my spare time. 

Pescar es lo que amo. Fishing is what I love.

Amo ejercitarme. I love working out.

Coleccionar monedas es lo mío. Collecting coins is my thing. 

Taste in Arts

Another way to connect with other people is through your taste in arts. You can relate to someone you barely know by saying something like:

Ir a museos es mi cosa favorita. Going to museums is my favorite thing to do.

Soy un entusiasta de la fotografía. I am a photography enthusiast.

Amo escuchar música clásica los fines de semana. I love listening to classical music on weekends.

Me gustan las películas de terror. I’m into terror movies. 

Me gusta escuchar poesía. I like listening to poetry.

Animal lovers like myself always talk about our pets. If you have one at home, don’t forget to mention them!

Amo a los perros. I love dogs.

Darle de comer a mis pájaros es mi cosa favorita. My favorite thing is to feed my birds.

Soy amante de los animales. Tengo toda clase de animales en casa. I’m an animal lover. I have all kinds of animals at home. 

Food is another great topic to discuss with a new friend.

Me gustan los tacos. I like tacos.

Sé cómo cocinar comida italiana. I know how to cook Italian food.

Goals and Bucket List

This has to be the most interesting thing a person can say in an introduction. Your goals and wishes are defined by your personality and that’s why they are worth telling. 

Voy a aprender la lección de “Cómo Presentarte con Otros” esta semana. I will learn the “How to Introduce Yourself” lesson this week.

Quiero probar cada tipo de comida asiática. I want to try every kind of Asian food.

Me encantaría tener hijos en los siguientes dos años. I’d love to have kids in the next two years.

Visitaré Francia en mi cumpleaños número 40. I will visit France on my 40th birthday.

Another way of making conversation is to tell people what your purpose is at a certain place. 

Is learning to play an instrument an interest of yours? Is the birthday girl your cousin? Is this store convenient for you? These are some ideas of how you can interact with people in random situations while practicing how to introduce yourself:

At a Homeschool Spanish Academy:

Estoy aquí para aprender Español para entender a mi nuera. I am here to learn Spanish to understand my daughter in law.

At a concert:

La música siempre me ha atraído. Music has always attracted me.

At your brand-new store:

Por fin me tomé la oportunidad de vender arte. I finally took the chance of selling art.

At a coffee shop:

Vengo aquí seguido porque vivo cerca. I come here often because I live nearby.

At a restaurant:

De verdad quería probar la comida mexicana. I really wanted to try Mexican food.

At a birthday party:

Conozco a Kate desde hace mucho tiempo. I’ve known Kate for a long time.

¡ Preséntate!

How rude of me, I haven’t introduced myself! Please excuse me, mi nombre es Nicole, tengo 31 años y soy escritora. And if you want to practice your introductions before these situations occur, begin with presentarte to a native Spanish-speaker from HSA!

When meeting someone in the Spanish-speaking world, the very first obstacle you’ll encounter is whether or not to greet with a beso (kiss) or two. 

The norms for kissing vary around the world . But in almost any Spanish-language social interaction, some form of kissing will be involved. And, just to be clear, there’s no flirting involved when this is part of the greeting!

Be aware that it’s not actually a “real” kiss , merely a touching of cheeks. Sometimes, cheeks hardly graze each other. 

There are regional differences to this practice . In Spain, people do two kisses and in many parts of Latin America, it’s just one kiss, so observe those around you to see exactly what to do. The rules also vary by gender. In some regions, men will only kiss women, but in other parts of the Spanish-speaking world, men will also kiss one another.

If you’re uncomfortable, though, never fear: Most Spanish-speakers will completely understand if you, as a foreigner, aren’t accustomed to this practice. If you don’t want to do the kiss, a firm handshake, a smile and a greeting will be enough.

And if you do say hello with a cheek kiss, it’s good form to also cheek kiss goodbye.

How to Introduce Yourself in Spanish

Almost No Knowledge of Language Needed

• History & Culture
• Pronunciation
• Writing Skills
• B.A., Seattle Pacific University

No matter how little Spanish you know, it's easy to introduce yourself to someone who speaks Spanish. Here are three ways you can do it:

Introduce Yourself: Method 1

Simply follow these steps, and you'll be well on your way to making a connection with someone even if that person doesn't speak your language:

• To say hello or hi, merely say " Hola " or "OH-la" (rhymes with "Lola"; note that the letter h is silent in Spanish).
• To introduce yourself, simply say " Me llamo " (may YAHM-oh) followed by your name. For example, " Hola, me llamo Chris " ("OH-la, may YAHM-oh Chris") means " Hi, I'm Chris. "
• To ask someone's name in a formal way, say " ¿Cómo se llama usted? " or "KOH-moh say YAHM-ah oo-STED." (The "oo" rhymes with "moo.") This means, "What is your name?"
• In an informal setting, or if speaking to a child, say " ¿Cómo te llamas? " or "KOH-mo tay YAHM-ahss." That also means, "What is your name?"
• After the person responds, you may say, " Mucho gusto " or "MOOCH-oh GOOSE-toh." The phrase means "much pleasure" or, less literally, "pleased to meet you."

Introduce Yourself: Method 2

This second method may be a slightly less common way of introducing yourself, but it's still perfectly acceptable and is easier to learn.

Most of the steps are the same as above, but for the second step, where you actually introduce yourself, merely say " Hola " followed by " soy " and your name. Soy is pronounced basically the same as it is in English . " Hola, soy Chris " means "Hello, I'm Chris."

Introduce Yourself: Method 3

The third method also isn't as common as the first in most areas, but it may be the most straightforward way for those who have English as a first language.

For the second step, you can use " Mi nombre es " or "mee NOHM-breh ess" followed by your name. Thus, if your name is Chris, you can say: " Hola, mi nombre es Chris. "

Whichever method you use, don't be afraid to sound silly. You'll be understood by following these directions, and in nearly any Spanish-speaking area even the feeblest attempts to speak Spanish will be honored.

Spanish Introductions

• The most common way to introduce yourself in Spanish is to say " Me llamo " followed by your name.
• Alternatives include " Mi nombre es " or " Soy " followed by your name.
• " Hola " can be used for either "hi" or "hello."

Grammar and Vocabulary Behind These Introductions

You don't need to understand the precise meanings of what you're saying or how the words relate to each other grammatically to introduce yourself. But if you're curious, or if you're planning on learning Spanish , you may find them interesting to know.

As you might have guessed, hola and "hello" are basically the same word. Those who know etymology, the study of word origins, think the word goes back to at least the 14th century, before English and Spanish existed in their current form. Although it is unclear how the word entered Spanish, it probably originated with German as a way of trying to get someone's attention.

Me in the first method above means "myself" (obviously, there's an etymological connection with the English "me"), and llamo is a form of the verb llamar , which usually means "to call." So if you say " Me llamo Chris ," that's a direct equivalent of "I call myself Chris." Llamar is used in many of the same ways as "to call" is, such as for calling out to someone or calling someone on the telephone. In both Spanish and English, verbs in which the person is referring to doing something to him- or herself are known as reflexive verbs .

The reason two methods are used with llamar for asking someone's name is because Spanish differentiates between formal and informal (sometimes called formal and familiar) ways of addressing people. English used to do the same thing — "thou," "thee" and "thine" were all informal terms at one time, although in modern English "you" and "your" can be used in both formal and informal situations. Although there are regional variations in how Spanish distinguishes between the two forms, as a foreigner you are safer in using the formal form ( ¿Cómo se llama _____? ) with adults and especially with authority figures.

Soy is a form of the verb ser , which means "to be."

In the final method, " mi nombre es " is a word-for-word equivalent of "my name is." Like soy , es comes from the verb ser .

Self Introduction in Spanish: Learn to Introduce Yourself in Spanish

Introducing yourself in a new language can be a daunting task, but it’s a skill that can open doors to new friendships, opportunities, and adventures. Spanish, one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, is no exception. In this blog post, we’ll explore the art of self-introduction in Spanish and provide you with five concise and effective examples to help you confidently break the ice in any Spanish-speaking setting. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refresh your memory, you’ll find practical guidance and real-life examples to make your Spanish self-introduction a breeze.

Why Self-Introduction Matters:

A proper self-introduction is your ticket to creating meaningful connections with people from different cultures. It sets the stage for respectful and engaging conversations and demonstrates your interest in the other person. In Spanish-speaking countries, where personal relationships are highly valued, a great self-introduction is crucial. Let’s delve into the essential elements of a self-introduction in Spanish.

Basics of Self Introduction in Spanish

Follow these steps to effortlessly introduce yourself in Spanish while maintaining politeness and courtesy:

• Begin with a Warm Greeting: Start the conversation by saying “Hola” (OH-la), which means “hello” or “hi.” Remember that in Spanish, the letter ‘h’ is silent, so pronounce it like “OH-la.”
• Share Your Name: Introducing yourself is a breeze with the phrase “Me llamo” (may YAHM-oh), followed by your name. For example, you can say, “Hola, me llamo Chris” (OH-la, may YAHM-oh Chris) to mean “Hi, I’m Chris.” This straightforward approach lets others know your name right away.
• Asking for Their Name Respectfully: In formal situations, when you’d like to inquire about the other person’s name politely, say “¿Cómo se llama usted?” (KOH-moh say YAHM-ah oo-STED). The “oo” here rhymes with “moo.” It translates to “What is your name?” Use this phrase when addressing someone in a formal context.
• In Casual Conversations and with Children: For informal settings or when speaking to a child, you can use the question “¿Cómo te llamas?” (KOH-mo tay YAHM-ahss). It also means “What is your name?” This approach is more relaxed and suitable for friendly, informal exchanges.
• Expressing Pleasure in Meeting Them: Once the other person shares their name, you can show appreciation by saying “Mucho gusto” (MOOCH-oh GOOSE-toh). This phrase literally means “much pleasure” and is a gracious way to convey that you’re pleased to meet them.

These simple and respectful steps allow you to engage in a friendly conversation in Spanish, even if you’re just starting to learn the language. Your efforts to greet, introduce yourself, and inquire about the other person’s name will be greatly appreciated, fostering a positive atmosphere for communication.

Examples of Self Introduction in Spanish

Let's start off with the vocab words in these lessons!

Greetings/Farewells

Spanish Accents

Some Spanish words, such as adiós , have a written accent . If you leave out the accent when writing these words, it'd be like writing the English word I'm without the apostrophe ( Im ) - it wouldn't make sense!

Professions/Occupations

Remember that all Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine .

• Profesor is a masculine noun used to talk about men.

• Profesora is a feminine noun used to talk about women.

• Estudiante is both masculine and feminine and can be used to talk about men or women.

Country Names

Spanish Capitalization

Just like in English, country names in Spanish begin with a capital letter !

In these lessons, you learn how to use the verbs llamarse (literally, to call oneself ) to talk about names and ser ( to be ) to talk about professions and where someone is from . Let's review the conjugations you learned!

Spanish Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns like yo ( I ) and tú ( you ) are often not used before a conjugated verb in Spanish. In other words, most of the time Spanish speakers will simply say me llamo instead of yo me llamo .

Other Useful Words

Here are some other useful words from these lessons!

Here are some of the phrases used in these lessons!

Spanish Punctuation

Spanish questions begin and end with a question mark .

¿Cómo te llamas?

Cómo te llamas?

Pronunciation

In these lessons, you learn some words containing y and ll . Let's talk about how to pronounce the ll in Spanish and the y in Spanish !

Pronunciation of Ll

The Spanish ll is often pronounced like the y in the English word yes , though you may hear some native speakers pronounce it more or less like the j in the English word judge or the sh in the English word show . Click on the words in the table below to listen to the pronunciation of the ll in Spanish!

Pronunciation of Y

• In words like yo , y is considered a consonant and is usually pronounced the same way as ll . In other words, most Spanish speakers pronounce the y and the ll in yo me llamo using the same sound.
• When y comes at the end of a word like soy , it is considered a vowel and is pronounced like the e in the English word me .
• When y is used on its own as a conjunction meaning and , it is also pronounced like the e in the English word me .

Click on the words in the table below to listen to the pronunciation of the y in Spanish!

How to introduce yourself in Spanish

Introducing yourself in Spanish is an important skill to have when meeting new people or starting a conversation in a Spanish-speaking environment. Whether you’re traveling to a Spanish-speaking country, taking a Spanish class, or just want to learn more about the language and culture, being able to introduce yourself in Spanish is a great way to make a good first impression. Being confident when introducing yourself and having more vocabulary than just being able to say hello in Spanish is a solid base for building longer lasting relationships in a different language.

To introduce yourself in Spanish, you can use the phrases “Me llamo” (My name is) or “Soy” (I am) followed by your name. For example, if your name is Maria, you can say “Me llamo Maria” (My name is Maria) or “Soy Maria” (I am Maria).

Here are a few more examples of how to introduce yourself in Spanish:

• Hola, soy Juan. ¿Cómo te llamas? (Hello, I am Juan. What is your name?)
• Hola, me llamo Teresa. ¿Y tú? (Hello, my name is Teresa. And you?)
• Hola, soy Carlos. Mucho gusto. (Hello, I am Carlos. Nice to meet you.)

In addition to your name, you can also include other information about yourself when introducing yourself in Spanish. For example, you can mention your occupation, where you’re from, or your interests. Here are some phrases you can use to share more information about yourself:

• Soy de… (I am from…)
• Trabajo como… (I work as…)
• Me gusta… (I like…)

Here are some examples of how you can use these phrases to introduce yourself in Spanish and share more information about yourself:

• Hola, soy Ana. Soy de México. Me gusta bailar y leer. (Hello, I am Ana. I am from Mexico. I like to dance and read.)
• Hola, me llamo David. Soy de Colombia. Trabajo como abogado. (Hello, my name is David. I am from Colombia. I work as a lawyer.)
• Hola, soy Marta. Soy de España. Me gusta hacer senderismo y cocinar. (Hello, I am Marta. I am from Spain. I like to hike and cook.)

It’s also important to remember to use formal and polite language when introducing yourself in Spanish. In Spanish-speaking countries, it’s common to use formal language when meeting someone for the first time or in more formal settings, such as a business meeting or a job interview. To show respect and politeness, you can use the formal pronoun “usted” (you) instead of the informal pronouns “tú” (you, singular informal) or “vos” (you, singular informal, used in some countries). You can also use the formal verb conjugation endings -a/-an instead of -o/-as/-a.

Here are some examples of how to introduce yourself in a formal way in Spanish:

• Buenas tardes, soy Luis. Mucho gusto en conocerlo. (Good afternoon, I am Luis. Nice to meet you.)
• Buenas noches, me llamo Ana. Mucho gusto en conocerla. (Good evening, my name is Ana. Nice to meet you.)
• Buenos días, soy Marta. Mucho gusto en conocerlo. (Good morning, I am Marta. Nice to meet you.)

A very important point to be aware of is that in some Spanish-speaking regions, particularly in Latin America, it is common to use “lo” when addressing someone formally. For example, “Mucho gusto en conocerlo” used in the example above.

On the other hand, in certain regions, including Spain itself, you are more likely to hear “le” instead of “lo” in formal introductions. For instance, “Mucho gusto en conocerle.”

For a Spanish learner, understanding these variations is crucial for effective communication. The choice between “lo” and “le” depends on the specific rules followed in the region or country where the language is spoken.

How to introduce yourself in Spanish

Instead of giving you some theoretical options  about how to introduce yourself in Spanish, I present here a conversation between a Spanish teacher and two new students. Thus you will see how they introduce themselves to each other. In addition to that, if you would like to hear the conversation, you can find it on my Podcast Spanish for Beginners , episodio 39 : How to introduce yourself in Spanish.

If you would like to have the transcripts, here you can find all the documents that go with the podcast: Transcripts with vocabulary, exercises and the keys .

When you see the symbol * that means that the word is part of the vocabulary for that lesson, which you will find on the document on the previous link.

Manuela, profesora de español, conoce hoy a sus alumnos * Robert y Guido.

– Hola, yo soy Manuela, tu profesora de español.

– Hola, profesora, soy Robert. Encantado de conocerle*.

– Encantada. ¿Qué tal estás? ¿Bien?

–  Sí, sí, un poco* nervioso, pero bien.

– Bueno, tranquilo. Hablas muy bien español. Cuéntame*, ¿de dónde eres*?

– Soy de Estados Unidos, de California, pero mi familia es de Rusia, por eso* hablo inglés y ruso.

A hint on how to learn while you are having a conversation

Although it is not necessary to answer the question, the student is giving extra information. In fact, he is using a technique that many good learners implement every day. They always try to keep the conversation and do not answer with short sentences. Actually, some of my students very often ask a question after they have answered my questions. That is a wonderful way to be active while you are speaking in Spanish. As you know, the more active you are, the more you will learn.

– Ah, muy bien, se ve* que te gustan las lenguas. Y tú, ¿cómo te llamas*?

– Me llamo Guido, encantado.

– Encantada, Guido. ¿De dónde eres, Guido?

– Soy de Alemania, de Berlín, pero mi familia es de Italia, por eso tengo un nombre* italiano.

As you can see, the vocabulary is not complex, but please pay attencion to transitional words: bueno, pero, por eso, y.

– ¿Hablas italiano también?

– Lo hablo un poco, pero necesito* estudiar más.

– Estupendo. ¿Cuántos años tienes?*

– Tengo veintidós años y estudio en la universidad.

What do I do if I do not understand every word?

If you do not understand every word, you should not worry. However, it could be helpful to mark the words you have not seen before. In this way, the next time you read the conversation you will see if you remember these new words or not. Moreover, it can be a good idea to walk away from this reading with a list of five or six short sentences that you are going to study and to use in your next conversation. In conclusion, try to make the most of this text and ask yourself how you can make it practical.

– Y tú, Robert ¿cuántos años tienes?

– Tengo 19 años y también estudio en la universidad.

– Muy bien, bueno, ahora vamos a la clase y os presento* al resto de los estudiantes, ¿vale?

– Sí, sí, claro. ¿Cuántos* estudiantes hay* en la clase?

– Hay diez estudiantes y yo, con vosotros somos ahora trece personas.

– Muy bien, vamos a la clase con usted entonces*.

How to Introduce a Person in Spanish

– Buenos días, estudiantes.

– Buenos días, profesora.

– Hoy tenemos dos nuevos estudiantes. Os presento* a Robert y a Guido. Robert es de Estados Unidos, de California, y Guido es de Alemania, de Berlín. Los dos estudian en la universidad. La familia de Robert es de Rusia y la familia de Guido es de Italia. Por eso hablan también* ruso e italiano. Pero ahora vamos a hablar todos solo* en español, ¿verdad?

I hope that with this conversation you have learned both how to introduce yourself in Spanish and how to make the most of a text in Spanish. However, do not forget that one thing is to undersand a text, while to use the vocabulary at the time you are speaking can be a different matter. That is why I recommend that you write a short conversation in your own words.

As a matter of fact, if you read my conversation and your conversation a few times, by the time you need to use the expressions, you will have learned the vocabulary and you will see that it is much easier to find the right words. In conclusion, you should know that to have read a whole text is extremely positive and at the same time it is not the final goal. We want to use in our conversations what we have read here.

One of the best ways to learn how to speak Spanish is to talk to native Spanish speakers. But to do that, you have to know how to introduce yourself in Spanish. Luckily, you don't actually have to know a lot of Spanish to have a basic, introductory conversation. Simply start with "¡Hola! Me llamo" (OH-lah MAY YAH-moh) and tell them your name. A successful introduction will give you the confidence to attempt more in-depth conversation, and you'll be making new Spanish-speaking friends before you know it. [1] X Research source

Greeting and Exchanging Names

• In the afternoon, you can use "buenas tardes" (boo-AY-nahs TAHR-days) if you want to greet the person based on the time of day. After the sun goes down, switch to "buenas noches" (boo-AY-nahs NOH-chays).

• You can also say "mi nombre es," which literally means "my name is."
• If you want a briefer, more casual introduction, you can use the word "soy," which means "I am." For example, you might say "hola, soy Maria" ("Hello, I'm Maria").

• For example: "¡Hola! Me llamo Maria. ¿Cómo estás?"
• When you add this question, you've politely introduced yourself to the person and started a conversation.

• For example, you say "¡Hola! Me llamo Maria. ¿Y usted?" The person responds "Hola, Maria. Me llamo José. ¿Cómo estás?"

• You can also say "mucho gusto" (MOO-choh GOO-stoh) to mean "nice to meet you." This phrase works especially well if the other person has introduced themselves first. For example, suppose someone said to you "¡Hola! Me llamo José. ¿Y tú?" You could respond "Mucho gusto, me llamo Maria."
• A more formal way to say "pleased to meet you" is "estoy encantada de conocerla." Use conocerle if you're talking to a guy.

• For example, you might say "Estoy estudiando español. ¿Quieres practicar conmigo?" (I'm studying Spanish. Do you want to practice with me?")
• If the person agrees to continue conversing with you, be sure to say "gracias" ("thank you").

Making Small Talk

• For example, you might say "soy de Chicago" ("I'm from Chicago"). You could also say "soy de Chicago, pero vivo en Santiago" ("I'm from Chicago, but I live in Santiago").
• To ask the person where they're from, say "¿de dondé eres tú?"

• For example, you might say "soy maestra" ("I'm a teacher) or "trabajo con animales" ("I work with animals").
• To ask someone what they do for a living, say "¿A qué te dedicas?" ("What do you do?")

• For example, you might say "Me gustan los animales" ("I like animals"). The other person could reply "¡A mi tambien! ¿Tienes mascota?" ("Me too! Do you have a pet?"). You could then say "Sí, un perro y un gato." ("Yes, a dog and a cat.")

• You already know cómo from "cómo estas" ("how are you"). Cuál means "which," while qué means "what." Just as you might say "what?" in English if you didn't hear or understand what someone said, you can say "¿que?" in Spanish.
• Other question words include dónde (where) and cuándo (when). Generally, questions in Spanish are formed the same way they are in English. Simply reverse the order of the subject and verb in your sentence, so that the verb comes before the subject.

• Don't use the informal pronoun tú unless the other person has used that pronoun for you first, or if you're talking to a child.

Community Q&A

• When speaking to new people in Spanish, use the pronoun usted unless you are talking to a child. Use the informal pronoun tú only when the other person uses it first. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0

Introduce Yourself in Spanish Posted by sasha on Jun 7, 2017 in Spanish Grammar , Spanish Vocabulary

Hola everyone! I’m the new guy here – to the blog and to the Spanish speaking world. You may have seen a few videos I’ve posted so far giving tours of Mexico City and the ruins of Teotihuacan . In this post I’d like to introduce myself and help you do the same in Spanish.

My Self-Introduction

Mi familia es grande.

Hola! Me nombre es Alejandro, pero todos me llaman Sasha. Soy de los Estados Unidos. Mi familia vive en Michigan. Mi papá es un doctor y mi mamá es una enfermera. Tengo cuatro hermanos y dos hermanas. Mi familia es muy grande! Soy el mas viejo. Tengo treinta y uno años.

Me gusta vivir en Puerto Vallarta.

Ahora vivo en Puerto Vallarta con mi esposa. Su nombre es Rachel. No tenemos hijos. Soy un maestro de ingles y un persona de libre dedicación. Estudié producción de video en la universidad. Antes vivía en China e Indonesia por seis años. Me gusta la música, viajar, y los deportes. Quiero estudiar español y quiero ayudarte a hacer lo mismo!

Soy de Michigan

Hello! My name is Alexander, but everyone calls me Sasha. I’m from the United States. My family lives in Michigan. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a nurse. I have four brothers and two sisters. My family is very big! I’m the oldest. I’m 31 years old.

La Gran Muralla China

Now I live in Puerto Vallarta with my wife. Her name is Rachel. We don’t have any children. I’m an English teacher and a freelancer. I studied video production in college. Before I lived in China and Indonesia for six years. I like music, traveling, and sports. I want to study Spanish and I want to help you do the same!

Introduce Yourself

Now that you’ve learned a little bit about me, let’s learn how to introduce yourself in Spanish. Here are some common introductory questions and how you can answer them:

Cuál es tu nombre?/Como te llamas? What’s your name?

Mi nombre es…/me llamo… my name is…, de dónde es usted where are you from, soy de… i’m from…, cuantos años tienes how old are you, tengo… años. i’m… years old., cuál es tu trabajo what’s your job, soy un/una… i’m a/an…, tienes hermanos/hijos do you have any siblings/children, tengo… hermanos/hijos. i have… siblings/children. no tengo… hermanos/hijos. i don’t have any siblings/children., qué te gusta hacer what do you like to do, me gusta… i like….

Go ahead and practice! Grab a friend and make them study with you, or just say it to yourself in a mirror. Reading is great but nothing beats speaking when you’re learning a language! You can also feel free to introduce yourself in Spanish in the comments section. As a new blogger here, I’d love to get to know some of our readers!

Future Plans

Viajar en México es genial.

As I mentioned in my introduction, my wife and I call Mexico home now. We’re actually doing the “digital nomad” thing as our teaching jobs are online. We’ve been working and studying Spanish here, and we plan to travel to Colombia and other parts of South America starting in September. My Spanish is still at a beginner level. It’s been tough learning my third foreign language. I studied Chinese and Indonesian and you can find me contributing to both of those blogs as well. As a new learner myself, I’ll be focused on sharing beginner-friendly Spanish lessons and videos. I’ll also share posts and videos about history, culture, and more as I travel around the Spanish speaking world. This blog belongs to you, though, so let us know what you want to read about, what questions you want answered, and what kind of videos you’d like to see. Leave a comment and share your thoughts!

I’m sorry I won’t be able to cover very advanced language topics at first, and I apologize for my awful American accent in the videos. Please bear with me – I’m learning just like you are. As an English teacher, I always encourage my students to take chances, speak more, and use what they learn every day. I’ll do my best to do the same with Spanish, and I hope you’ll join me on my journey to study this wonderful language and the many cultures associated with it. Muchas gracias y mucho gusto!

How to introduce yourself in Spanish

• Permalink Permalink Copied https://www.hilokal.com/blog/how-to-introduce-yourself-in-spanish/

Whether you plan to travel, live, or study in Spain or a Latin American country, you need to know how to introduce yourself in Spanish appropriately. Nevertheless, you should keep in mind that Spanish is the fourth most spoken language in the world . Therefore, the way to greet a person will depend not only on the context of the conversation, but also the region of the world you are in. That said, let's get started!

We have gathered for you the most common and simple expressions to have you immersed in the exciting experience of learning a new language:

1) Hola (OH-la) – Polite and casual

The most basic greeting that you can use with people of all social classes, ages, situations and/or countries is “ Hola ” (pronounced OH-la)

Hola, John – Hello, John (polite and casual)

Even though you can use this word in almost any situation, you need to keep in mind that it is rarely used on its own , as it could sound too harsh . Thus, it is usually followed by other expressions such as these:

2) “Buenos días” and “Buenas tardes” - Polite

“Buenos días” or “Buenas tardes” (“good morning” and “good afternoon”, respectively) are generally used after greeting someone with the word “hello”. Nvertheless,  they can also be used on their own and still sound polite.

You can use either of these phrases to introduce yourself when entering a local business , a hotel reception, a coffee shop, or any other public place.

When it comes to your family and friends, you can also say "good morning" during the first hours of the morning or if you just woke up. In other circumstances it might sound odd and unnatural.

Another way to say “good morning” is “ buen día ”, in its singular form. It is rare to hear young people say good morning this way and it is generally only used by people in their 50s or to address them.

Buenas tardes, Antonio - Good afternoon, Antonio

Hola, buenos días, Antonio – Hi! Good morning, Antonio

Buen día! – Something like saying “G’day!” in Australia

3) ¿Cómo estás? - polite

"¿Cómo estás?" literally means "how are you?" but its use varies depending on the country you are in:

In Spain "¿Cómo estás?" is used to ask someone about their health, whether physical or psychological. For example, if your friend or family member is or has been sick, you can ask “¿Cómo estás?” to show concern for his condition. In order to ask "how are you?" in a casual way, we must say "¿Qué tal?".

In Latin America , on the other hand, you can say “¿Cómo estás?” to a friend who is not necessarily sick.

“Hola, Antonio. ¿Cómo estás?” - Hi, Antony. How are you? (when asking about health in Spain)

“Hola, Antonio. ¿Qué tal?” - Hi, Antony. How is it going? (asking naturally and nonchalantly in Spain in practically any daily situation)

“Hola, Antonio. ¿Cómo está usted?” – Hello, Antony. How are you? (Polite – Latin America and Spain generally to address older people)

“Hola, Antonio. ¿Cómo se encuentra (usted)?”  – Hello, Antony. How are you? (Polite, only used to ask older people about their health)

Introducing yourself in Spanish – Intermediate words and expressions

Now that you have learnt the basics of how to greet someone in Spanish, let’s talk about other common ways to start a conversation depending on the region of the world you are in and the person you are addressing:

1) How to introduce yourself in Spanish and give your name:

If you need to let someone know your name, there are several ways to do it:

“Mi nombre es John” – My name is John (only when you are making a formal introduction)

“Me llamo John” – I’m called John (only when you are making a formal introduction)

“Soy John” – I am John (we use it in a casual environment where, for example, a friend introduces you to a family member or other acquaintance)

You can also say the following while shaking someone’s hand :

“John, un placer” – John, my pleasure.

You could even use this expression in business contexts without being rude or too relaxed.

2) Ask for someone’s name after introducing yourself

There are several ways to ask for someone’s name after introducing yourself in Spanish. Its use will mainly depend on how formal you want to sound:

“ ¿Cómo te llamas? ”, which translates as “What's your name?”, is the most basic way to ask for someone’s name in any situation and Spanish-speaking country.

“¿Cómo se llama usted?” - What’s your name, sir/madam? This should only be used in very formal situations, either in Spain and Latin America.

“¿Me dice su nombre, por favor?” “¿Me indica su nombre por favor?” Avoid this phrase unless you are working in customer service. For example, let’s Imagine you work as a front desk agent in a hotel and some guests just arrived with their luggage. They say “hi, we have a room booked for tonight”. Then you can say “ ¿me indica su nombre, por favor? - May I have your name, please?

Introducing yourself in Spanish – Advanced words and expressions (very polite)

There will be occasions (especially if you are going to live or work in a Spanish-speaking country) where you will have to introduce yourself in Spanish in a very formal and standardized way . For example, in a public institution, before conducting an interview with a company or with a potential client.

Should it be your case, here are some phrases you should know that will make you look more professional:

1) “Encantado (de saludarte)”

“Encantado” could be translated as “my pleasure” and there are several ways to implement it in a Spanish conversation.

“Encantado” o “Un placer” – My pleasure

“Encantado de saludarte” or “Un placer saludarte” – Literally Pleasure to greet you

“Encantado de conocerte” – Pleasure to meet you

These expressions can be used under any circumstance without looking neither too formal nor rude. However, if you are in a Latin American country , you should say “encantado de saludarlo ”, “encantado de conocerlo ” or “ un gusto conocerlo ”.

2) “Estimado” or “Estimada”

“Estimado” or “Estimada”, which would be translated into English as "Dear", it’s only used in writing and has a very formal connotation. Unless you consider the use of this language essential (should you be a lawyer, for example) avoid this expression and stick to greeting with a "Hello", "Good morning" or "Good afternoon".

Dear Mr. X / Dear Mrs. X / Dear Miss X - Dear Mr. X / Dear Mrs. X / Dear Miss X

Introducing yourself in Spanish – Advanced words and expressions (colloquial and informal)

As mentioned before, learning how to introduce yourself in Spanish will depend on the country or even the specific region inside it. Here are some ways to introduce yourself or start a conversation in some of the main Spanish-speaking countries:

1) Colombia

“Quiubo?” – This is the contracted form of "¿qué hubo?" which would be colloquially translated as “What’s up!

“Quiubo, parce?” – What’s up, bud!

The word “ parce ” means “friend” but bear in mind that it is only used in Colombia.

Other ways to start a conversation or introduce yourself in Colombia:

¿Qué me cuentas? – What are you saying? (literally)

Hola, ¿qué más? – Hi, anything else? (literally)

Depending on your mood, you can answer as follows:

“Todo bacano”, “Bacano” or ”Viento en popa” – You can use any of these if you’re doing great.

“Sobreviviendo” (Surviving), “Ahí voy” (here I come) – Use these expressions if you are not doing that good or if you are somehow concerned

2) Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a country known for the friendliness of its people and its pristine nature. Therefore, it is not surprising that the most common expression to greet in this Spanish-speaking country is:

¿Pura vida? – Any English verbatim translation would be meaningless, but “Enjoying your life?” would be quite close.

The most common answers to this question are:

“Pura vida, mae” – Enjoying my life, dude

It is important to understand that for Costa Ricans, the expression "pura vida" is much more than "I'm good." “ Pura vida” is more like a life attitude and it can also be used on a bad day to show others that you still see the future with optimism.

If you are going to Chile you will hear “weon” and “ bacan” all over the place. These two words translate as “dude” or “mate” (weon) and “great” (bacan). Keep in mind that if you go to Spain, they don’t make any sense at all.

Now, let’s imagine two friends who have not seen each other in a very long time. Most likely, this is what they would say:

Weeena weon! ¿Cómo estái? – Heeeey, dude! How're you doing? (Estái is not a typo, that’s how they say it in Chile)

“Aquí estamos bacan” – All good!

“Aquí estoy medio achacao” – Not having a great day

Everybody loves the Cuban accent, however, even us (Spanish speaking people) often struggle to understand a local conversation. Therefore, do not torture yourself if you go to Cuba and do not understand a single word at first. You’ll get used to it and you’ll love it!

¿Qué bola? – What's up!

Common answers to this:

De pinga – Literally “with my penis”. Yeah, you read that right. But it means “all good”.

De madre – Translated (verbatim) as “mum’s stuff” it means “I’m not doing very good”.

If you thought Cuban terms sound weird, get ready for these ones, mainly used by young people:

¿Qué pedo? – Which fart? Yes, again, you read correctly. The practical translation would be “What’s up?

¿Qué onda, wey?  – There is no way to translate this expression into English, but it means something like How are you doing, dude?

If you want to say that you love something, you can use the expression “ qué padre ”. Even though it literally translates as “ what a father !” what it really means is " that's great ".

The most common expressions in Spain, regardless of the region you are in (we’ll cover this topic at the end of the article), are the following:

“¡Qué pasa!”, ”¡Qué andas!” “¡Qué hay!” – Don’t worry, none of these words have an odd second meaning and you can freely use them in an informal or colloquial way as you would with “What’s up!”

“Tío” – Uncle . Mainly used by young people (although it can also be heard in other conversations) it means “dude” or “mate”.

For example:

“Qué pasa, tío?” - What's up, dude?

The most common answers between friends to the previous question would be:

“Guay” - Cool

“Del copón” – Literally “ like a pyx ” even though it means “I’m great” (Pyx: the container in which the consecrated bread of the Eucharist is kept.)

“ De lujo ” – Literally translates as “ deluxe ” and it is used to express “ I’m doing great”

“Ahí voy” – Here I come, meaning “not my best day”

“Hecho/Hecha polvo – “Feeling like dust”, meaning “I’m exhausted”

Other words you need to know if you go to a Spanish speaking country

We did not want to finish this article without paying a small tribute to one of the most used Spanish words shared by several dialects around the world due to its musicality and great semantic load:

“Chévere” is a popular word for “cool” that is heard throughout Colombia, though it is not exclusive to that country. The population in neighbouring Venezuela, for instance, also enjoy using it a fair old amount. Other countries like The Antilles, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador also love to use it.

Chévere is an adjective that brings together many meanings, among them: stupendous, excellent, exquisite, great, funny, beautiful, elegant, pleasant, indulgent, benevolent, magnificently… in essence, very good!

As you may already know, this is not a Spanish word, but an Italian one. However, its use is widespread throughout all Spanish-speaking countries and it is very common to say among friends and family and even in a business atmosphere:

“Chao” - Bye! Or “See you!”

Bonus – Spanish dialects

Should you still not have enough with the distinctive expressions of each Spanish speaking country, here comes Spain with its own dialect. Here are some of the most basic words you should know:

Aupa! (Basque Country and Navarre) – What’s up!

Kaixo (Basque Country and Navarre) (“kie-ksoh” which rhymes with “pie show”) – Hello

“Bon día” and “Bona tarda” (Catalunya) – “Good morning” and “good afternoon” respectively.

“Boa dia!”, “Boa Tarde!”, “Boa Noite!” (Galicia) – “Good morning”, “good afternoon” and “good night” respectively.

Formally Introducing Yourself in Spanish

Spanish phrases for dummies.

Sign up for the Dummies Beta Program to try Dummies' newest way to learn.

Whether you’re speaking in Spanish, English, or Esperanto, introducing yourself formally means that you don’t talk in a chummy, informal way to a person with whom you have no relationship. Instead, especially when in Spanish-speaking countries, you use the formal way of introducing yourself to others in order to keep a certain distance.

In Spanish-speaking countries, people who don’t know each other use usted ( oos- tehd ) — the formal form of “you” — and its verbal form when addressing one another. For example, here are two common questions you might ask formally:

¿Cómo se llama usted? ( koh -moh seh yah -mah oos- tehd ) (What is your name?)

¿De dónde es usted? (deh dohn -deh ehs oos- tehd ) (Where are you from?)

Notice the formality of the following conversation where Pedro García Fernández approaches a table at a sidewalk cafe with a person already sitting there and introduces himself in Spanish.

¿Me permite?

meh pehr- mee -teh

Sí, ¡adelante!

see, ah-deh- lahn -teh

Yes, [go] ahead!

Buenas tardes. Me llamo Pedro García Fernández.

bvoo eh -nahs tahr -dehs meh yah -moh peh -droh gahr- see ah fehr- nahn -dehs

Good afternoon. My name is Pedro García Fernández.

Mucho gusto, señor García.

moo -choh goos -toh seh- nyohr gahr- see ah

Nice to meet you, Mr. García.

Y usted ¿cómo se llama?

ee oos- tehd koh -moh seh yah -mah

And what’s your name?

Me llamo Jane Wells.

meh yah -moh Jane Wells

My name is Jane Wells.

Mucho gusto.

moo -choh goos -toh

A pleasure.

Some situations call for a certain level of solemnity. An example is when you’re being introduced to a very important or famous person. Like in English, a few specific Spanish phrases signal this formality, as the following examples demonstrate:

¿Me permite presentarle a . . .? ( meh pehr- mee -teh preh-sehn- tahr -leh ah ) (May I introduce. . .?)

Es un gusto conocerle. ( ehs oon goos -toh koh-noh- sehr -leh ) (It’s a pleasure to meet you.)

El gusto es mío. ( ehl goos -toh ehs mee oh ) (The pleasure is mine.)
