Introduction Oneself to Others
Intro
When meeting someone for the very first time, we will introduce ourselves to
him/her. Generally we give our name, origin, address, or phone numbers. On
some occasions, we also have to introduce someone to others because we
want to make the others know a person we already know. In this lesson, we will
learn expressions commonly used to introduce oneself/ourselves to others.
