HOW TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN ENGLISH
1. Exchange names. If the introduction is formal, say "Hello, I'm [first name][last name]. " If it's informal, say "Hi, I'm [first name].
Immediately after you've stated your name, ask for the other person's name by saying "What’s your name? " in a pleasant tone. When you learn the other person's name, repeat it by saying "It's a pleasure to meet you, Pedro" or "Nice to meet you, Caroline. "
2. Offer a handshake or other culturally appropriate greeting. Most cultures have a form of physical contact to accompany a greeting. In the United States, it is often a handshake. Be sure to keep the handshake brief and not to loose (floppy) or firm (bone-breaking).
3. Ask questions. It’s important to show interest in the other person. Ask where she is from, what she does for a living, or ask about any common bonds you may have. Ask about what she loves to do and the passions she has in life. Show that you are engaged and interested in what she has to say.
4. Close the conversation. After you've met someone for the first time, you should end the conversation by restating that you enjoyed meeting. If the interaction was formal, say something like "Mrs. Castro, I'm delighted to have met you. I hope we can talk again soon. " If your conversation was informal, you can say "It was great meeting you, Harold. Hope to see you around. "
