INTRODUCE MYSELF AND SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

 Introducing yourself is one of the first and most important skills to learn in English. It helps you connect with others and share basic information about who you are. This includes your name, age, nationality, hobbies, job, and more. At the A1 and A2 levels, students learn simple phrases and sentences to confidently introduce themselves in various settings, such as meeting someone new or starting a conversation.

In this lesson, you’ll practice using personal pronouns, the verb “to be,” possessive adjectives, and simple present tense verbs to describe yourself. You’ll also learn useful expressions, vocabulary, and example sentences to help you introduce yourself and ask questions to learn about others.
