Hello, how are you? When we introduce ourselves to someone, there are some basic pieces of information we must share. They may vary a little from person to person but the same information usually repeats. Some of these might be your name, where you come from, where you live, your pronouns, your age, your profession, and so on. You may share whichever information you find basic and essencial for a first interaction.   First person introduction: Name: I am...             My name is... Age: I am ... (years old) Origin: I am... (from + place)/nationality              I come from... Living: I live in... Profession: I am a/an...              I work with... Besides these basic sentences, you may also introduce yourself through questions and answers. In this case, it can take place like this: First person introduction (questions): What's your name? / Who are you? Name: I am...             My name is... How old are you? Age: I am ... (years old) Where are you from? / Where do you come from? Origin: I am... (from + place)/nationality              I come from... Where do you live? Living: I live in... What do you do (for work)? / What is your job? / What do you work with? Profession: I am a/an...              I work with...   A simple way to ask back all of these questions is by saying " How about you? " This way, you will have answers for all of the questions you have answered. Now that you know how to introduce yourself, you can also learn how to introduce a third person. When we want to talk about someone we know, we can use the same logic, simply changing the subject and conjugation. There are two ways to begin this introduction. One is with the person present and the other is with the person absent. Third person introduction: He -> masc. She -> fem. They -> neutral In case of absent person: Name: I have a ... (cat; dog; brother; sister; friend; etc). His/her/their name is ... In case of present person: Name: (It's optional to add the relationship with the person) This is...   Age: He/She is.../They are... Origin: He/She is from.../ They are from... Profession: He/She is a.../ They are... He/she works with... / They work with... Besides these basic sentencer you can also introduce another person through questions and answers. In this case, it can take places as following: Third person introduction (questions): Who is... ? In case of absent person: Name:  I have a ... (cat; dog; brother; sister; friend; etc). His/her/their name is ... In case of present person: Name: (It's optional to add the relationship with the person)   This is...   How old is... ? Age: He/She is.../They are... Where is he/she from? / Where are they from? Origin:  He/She is from.../ They are from... What does he/she do (for work) ? / What do they do? / What does he/she work with? / What do they work with? Profession:  He/She is a.../ They are... He/she works with... / They work with... Can you introduce yourself in English now? How about introducing someone else? If you wanna practice with me, you can schedule a lesson !

Hello there, how are you today? How many greetings do you know in English? How about farewells? Well, greetings are the first words you say when you interact with someone. There are many different greetings and some are more casual than others. The same goes for farewells, which are usually the last words we say after interacting with someone. Greetings: Hi; Hello; How are you? Good morning; Good afternoon; Good evening; Hey; What's up? Some greetings are used exclusively when we meet someone for the first time, and for the first time only. Using them on further interactions might seem rude, as it gives the impression you don't remember meeting that person before. First interaction greetings: Nice to meet you; Glad to meet you; Pleased to meet you; Pleasure to meet you; The farewells, on the other hand, as we have seen before, are the ones you use at the end of an interaction. They are the words that close the conversations. Farewells: Bye; Goodbye; Bye-bye; See you; See you later; See you tomorrow; Good night; Have a good day; Have a good night; Have a good weekend; Take care; It was nice meeting you; The farewell " see you " can be very convenient since it can be used by itself or with any other future moment when you might meet that person again. These are very common everyday words you may add to your vocabulary but you don't have to memorize all of them. Pick maybe two or three from each list and give it a try. Can you easily say " hello " and " goodbye " in English now? If you wanna practice with me, you can schedule a lesson !

Hey there, how are you today? Do you know the cardinal numbers in English? The cardinal numbers are the ones we use to count things, and they are infinite. 0 → zero 1 → one 2 → two 3 → three 4 → four 5 → five 6 → six 7 → seven 8 → eight 9 → nine 10 → ten See some examples: We need five (5) apples. I have two (2) cats. She's seven (7) years old now. They meet four (4) times a week. Are you free at eight (8)? As we keep going, you will notice that eventually we start repeating numbers. They follow patterns as they grow bigger. This makes everything easier. 11 → eleven 12 → twelve 13 → thirteen 14 → fourteen 15 → fifteen 16 → sixteen 17 → seventeen 18 → eighteen 19 → nineteen 20 → twenty 21 → twenty-one 22 → twenty-two 23 → twenty-three 24 → twenty-four 25 → twenty-five 26 → twenty-six 27 → twenty-seven 28 → twenty-eight 29 → twenty-nine 30 → thirty See some examples: We have fifteen (15) books to donate. I bought five (5) bars of chocolate. They rescued twenty-four (24) cats. We met at in school at thirteen (13). I need thirty (30) volunteers for this event. From here on, all the number will follow the same pattern and keep repeating the units. Notice that we will keep separating the tens from the units. 40 → forty 50 →fifty 60 → sixty 70 → seventy 80 → eighty 90 → ninety 100 → one/a hundred 101 → one/a hundred one 102 → one/a hundred two 103 → one/a hundred three etc... See some examples: My apartment number is one hundred one (101). His mother is sixty-seven (67) now. I have fifty-three (53) guests. She read forty (40) books this year. Forty-four (44) hours of work is too much. Her grandmother is eighty-four (84) years old. The bigger number will also keep repeating, so once you know the first ones, you can just keep going. 200 → two hundred 300 → three hundred 400 → four hundred 500 → five hundred 600 → six hundred 700 → seven hundred 800 → eight hundred 900 → nine hundred 1,000 → one/a hundred 1,000,000 → one/a million See some examples: I watched this movie two hundred (200) times. The Russian Revolution was a hundred eight (108) years ago. The continent was invaded five hundred thirty-three years (533) ago. We need seven thousand (7,000) signatures.
