How to Introduce Yourself

Sometimes we have to introduce ourselves to others in an occasion for example in the first meeting in a class, in a forum, or even just introduce ourselves to people we have just met. It might be a problem for us to introduce ourselves in English instead of Indonesian. It is actually not that hard to introduce ourselves. However, we should learn how to express it in English.

What should we do to introduction?

You can consider these tips before you do the introduction.

1.Don’t be nervous. Introducing yourself is not a nightmare. You have to calm down and be confident.
2.Be polite and mind your gesture.

Steps to Introduce Yourself

1.Greetings

The first thing you should say is greeting. It is to wipe your anxiety out. You may use hi everybody…, hi everyone…, good afternoon, etc.

2.Say your intention.

Your aim is to introduce yourself. You just need to say for example “Let me introduce myself”, “I would like to introduce myself”, “Allow me to introduce myself”, “I’m here to introduce myself”, etc.

3.Start your introduction.

You can mention your name, nickname, address, and so on. Read the example below
Good morning. Hello, my name is ………………
You can call me……………………………………………
I am a student of …………………………………………
I live in ………………………………………………………..
I like / my hobby is / hobbies are…………………
My favourite colour(s) is/are ………………………
My favourite food ………………………………………

4.Say a closing sentence.
