Introductions and essential sentencesLesson 2 · A1 · 10 minutes

In this lesson

Say your name and country in two short sentences.

The idea, simply

Start with My name is, then use I am from for your country. You can shorten I am to I’m in everyday speech. Do not drop am: I from Egypt is wrong because an English sentence needs a verb.

Examples

  • My name is Mariam.

  • I am from Egypt.

  • I’m Omar, and I’m from Jordan.

Lesson words

  • fromمن
    I am from Egypt.
  • countryبلد

  • liveيعيش
    I live in Cairo.
  • introduceيعرّف
    Let me introduce myself.
