YOGYAKARTA - The ability to introduce yourself in English is called self-introduction. This ability needs to be possessed by anyone, especially when meeting new people.
How to introduce yourself in English is not only mentioning basic information such as name, address, hobbies, and so on, but also paying attention to the correct language order.
Basically there is no standard rule that regulates how to introduce yourself to someone. It's just that self-introduction should be done in sequence, starting with name, address, and other relevant information.
For convenience, self-introduction can be done by mentioning some information in sequence as follows.
The first information mentioned is the name. This element is very important to mention. Try to mention a nickname to make it easier for others to call you. English sentences that can be said to mention the name are very diverse, for example Hello, my name is […..], or Hi, I'm [Name] if the introduction is done during non-formal.
After the name, the next information that needs to be conveyed is the address of residence or domicile. Mention the country of origin if you introduce yourself to a foreigner, or mention the city if you introduce yourself to a person from one country. An example of a sentence that can be used is I'm from [City/Country], or you can use I live in [City/Country].
