¿Cómo te llamas? viernes, el 16 de enero

When you meet someone in Spanish, there are two ways to ask someone what there name is: ¿Cómo te llamas?  for a peer, someone younger, etc. ¿ Cómo se llama?  for a doctor, professor, etc. There are a couple ways to introduce yourself: Me llamo __________. = I call myself __________. Mi nombre es _________. =My name is __________. After an introduction, you can express the pleasure of meeting them: Mucho gusto = Pleased to meet you. If someone beats you to the punch and says it first, you can agree by saying: Encantado (for boys) or encantada (for girls) = Pleased to meet you. Igualmente = Likewise

¿De Dónde Eres? To ask someone where they are from, use: ¿De dónde eres?  for a peer, someone younger, etc. ¿De dónde es?  for a doctor, professor, etc. To tell someone where you’re from, use: Soy de __________. = I’m from _________. For example: Me llamo Señorita Space. Soy de Chicago.
