Japanese for Beginners #1 — How to Introduce Yourself

はじめまして! 🌸 Welcome to your very first Japanese lesson! In this episode, join Jay the ghost as he begins his Japanese journey with help from Juri. You'll learn how to introduce yourself naturally — say "nice to meet you", ask someone's name, give your own name, and reply politely. Perfect for absolute beginners. We use a simple two-step method: ✨ First, watch the full conversation with no subtitles — just listen. ✨ Then we replay it slowly and break down every important word and phrase. 📚 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN はじめまして (hajimemashite) — nice to meet you お名前は何ですか (onamae wa nan desu ka) — what's your name? 私は…です / 私の名前は…です — I am… / my name is… よろしくお願いします (yoroshiku onegaishimasu) こちらこそ (kochira koso) — likewise The particles は (wa) and の (no) 🎯 Try it yourself! Pause the video and introduce yourself out loud. Drop your self-intro in the comments in Japanese — I'd love to read them! 👇 🔔 Subscribe for new beginner-friendly lessons — released regularly.
