How to introduce yourself in Russian

Hi,

You possibly know I am learning Russian. This time I would like to write how to introduce yourself. I won’t be any kind of advanced, but I hope it will help you. So, let’s start with a basic vocabulary around the topic. Primarily, we should know how to greet each other. It is good to know when we meet somebody for the first time.

Привет – hi

Доброе утро - Good morning

Здравствуйте  - hello

Добрый  вечер – Good evening

Спокойной ночи – Good night

До свидaния – Goodbye

Now let’s go back to the main point. That is, how to give basic information about yourself (eg. name, place of residence etc.)

Как Тебя/Βас зовут ? – What’s your name?

Меня зoвут... – My name is...

Откуда Ты/вы? – Where are you from?

Я из.... – I’m from...

Сколько Тебе/Вам лет? – How old are you?

Мне ... лет. – I’m ..... years old.

Как дела? – How are you?

Хорошо – good, fine

Плохо – bad

Спaсибо – thank you

Attention: Ты – is informal “you”

                  Вы – is formal “you”

And here how it looks....

Меня зoвут Агнешка. Я из Польши. Мне двадцать девять лет. Я говорю на польском, англииском, французском и португальском языках.

What means:

My name is Agnieszka. I am from Poland. I am 29 years old. I speak Polish, English, French and Portuguese.

Here you can listen to some common phrases. Enjoy!
