Saying “my name is” is a common way to introduce yourself to people you want to meet. When meeting someone who speaks Spanish, you can introduce yourself using either the casual or formal version of “my name is.”
Say “Me llamo,” followed by your name. For example, if your name is John Smith, say “Me llamo John Smith.” The correct pronunciation of “Me llamo” is “Meh yah-moh,” and its literal translation is “I’m called.” Use “Me llamo” to introduce yourself when meeting someone in person. This is the most common, acceptable way to introduce yourself to people in the Spanish language.
Say “Soy,” followed by your name. For example, if your name is Jane Doe, say “Soy Jane Doe.” The literal translation of “Soy” is “I am,” and is considered even more casual than “Me llamo.”
