Name.<\/b><\/p>\n

In Spanish, the most common way to ask for someone’s name and introduce our own is by using the verb ‘llamarse’. Here <\/a><\/b> you can read more about this verb. It is a reflexive verb, so we need to use reflexive pronouns. Let\u2019s see how to ask someone their name and how to respond. <\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo te llamas?<\/p>\n

Me llamo Federico.<\/p>\n

Age.<\/b><\/p>\n

In Spanish, the verb ‘tener<\/b>‘ (to have) is used to express age. Let\u2019s also see how to ask and answer this question. <\/p>\n

Tengo 42 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Nationality.<\/b><\/p>\n

Although there are several ways to ask about a person\u2019s nationality, the most common one in spoken language is by using the verb ‘ser<\/b>,’ and the most common answer is with the preposition ‘de<\/b>‘ and the country.<\/p>\n

\u00bfDe d\u00f3nde eres?<\/p>\n

Occupation.
<\/b><\/p>\n

Once again, there are several ways to ask how a person makes a living. The most common and broadest one is by using the verb ‘dedicarse<\/b>.’ In general, the most common response is formed by using the verb ‘ser<\/b>‘. <\/p>\n

Languages.
<\/b><\/p>\n

To ask and say which languages a person speaks, we use the verb ‘hablar’. <\/p>\n

Hablo espa\u00f1ol, ingl\u00e9s, alem\u00e1n y franc\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

To ask about a specific language, we also use the verb ‘hablar’. <\/p>\n

\u00bfHablas italiano?<\/p>\n

No, no hablo italiano. <\/p>\n

My basic personal introduction.
<\/b><\/p>\n
