How to Introduce Yourself in English - Beyond Hello My Name Is 9A1) | Talk Maya

Welcome to Talk Maya! "Hello, my name is [name]. I am from [country]. I am learning English." If that sounds familiar, you're not alone - it's how almost every English learner introduces themselves, and it's also why introductions feel so stiff, forgettable, and impossible to continue. The problem isn't your English. The problem is that nobody taught you how to introduce yourself in a way that actually invites conversation, makes people curious about you, and leaves them wanting to know more. In this episode, Maya and Alex completely transform how you introduce yourself so every first impression in English feels natural, warm, and genuinely memorable. This episode covers how to go beyond your name and country with details that spark real conversation, phrases that make your introduction sound like the beginning of a story instead of a form you're filling out, how to add personality to your introduction without rambling or oversharing, natural ways to hand the conversation back after introducing yourself so things keep flowing, and how to adjust your introduction depending on whether you're at work, at a social event, or meeting someone casually. You'll also learn what native speakers actually notice and remember after meeting someone new. Perfect for beginners who are tired of robotic introductions that lead nowhere and want to make genuine first impressions that actually start real conversations. 💬 Practice round: Introduce yourself right now in the comments - but NO "my name is" allowed.
