Introducing yourself to someone does not mean that you are just telling your name.

The introduction can include other details such as :

where you are from, where you work, the job you have, your hobbies and much more.

Yes, that's right.

How you introduce yourself depends on the situation that you're in

and how much information is expected of you.

Introducing yourself to someone you 've just met.

When you are introducing yourself to someone you 've just met

you can say " hi ", " hello ", " hey ".

" Hello " is more of a formal way.

These are universal phrases and you can use them with anyone,

be it a senior, a friend, a relative or someone younger.

These phrases are suitable for both formal and informal situations.

Saying " hello " or " hi " isn't enough.

In order to introduce yourself, you have to tell the person your name.

You can start with something simple like, " Hi, my name is Marley,"

or, " Hello, I'm Marley."

In formal situations you may want to give both your first and last name.

When you 're talking with friends you can use a colloquial expression like,

" They call me Marley."

After greeting people and telling them your name,

you can also tell them how old you are or what you do for a living.

If you are an engineer you can say, " I'm 26 years old and I'm an engineer."

By telling them what you do, the person can know you better.

Yes, right!

You can also tell someone where you live or where you're from.

To tell someone your origin, you could say, " I'm from Michigan,"

or, " I have come from Michigan."

You can also tell the person where you live right now like, " I live in Chicago."

In telling someone where you live or where you 've been,

this can be a great conversation starter as they may have something to relate to you.

You can also ask people their name, or tell them some more about yourself

like what your hobbies are, what you like to do in your free time,

where you hang out and so on.

It's all part of getting to know you better.

To ask someone 's name, you could say, " My name is John. What's yours?"

If you want to tell them about your hobbies you could say,

" I like to play chess," or, " I really enjoy running. I run every day."
