Self-introductions in a class are meant to be brief and conversational

​

You don’t need to provide a detailed account of your life. Keep this checklist in mind:

Mention your given name if different from your official name.

​

Talk about where you’re from, or where you were born and where you’re living now.

​

Share an interesting detail about yourself: What do you for fun? What interests you?

​

Maybe you’re too busy at work and don’t have time for hobbies.

Not a problem! Just talk about a hobby you did in the past, or an activity you’d like to try in the future.

​

If you’re taking the class by choice, mention the reason you’ve decided to take it.

​

ex. “My name’s Lucia and I’m from Spain. I was born in the south of Spain but I live in Barcelona. I work as a translator, and I don’t have much time for hobbies these days. But in the future, I’d like to try yoga. I’m taking this class because I want to improve my speaking in English.”
