Try Self-Introductions in Japanese!
\ Learn Basic Self-Introduction Phrases /
When starting a conversation in Japanese, one of the most important things is self-introduction (jikoshoukai). Phrases like “Nice to meet you,” “My name is 〇〇,” and “I’m from 〇〇” help you share basic information about yourself and begin building connections smoothly. Self-introductions are useful in many situations — at school, work, hobby groups, events, or even on social media. If you can introduce yourself clearly, it makes a good impression and often leads to a natural conversation.
Learning Tips
- Speak simply and clearly — that’s the key!
- It’s totally okay to talk at your own pace.
- Don’t forget to say “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu” at the end — it’s a very important phrase in Japanese culture.
- Learn how to switch between formal and casual expressions depending on the situation.
- If someone asks you a question, don’t be afraid! Practice how to respond with phrases like “Could you say that again, please?”
