Introduce Yourself in Spanish Using These Words and Phrases
If you want to introduce yourself, you can say:

Me llamo — My name is
Mi nombre es — My name is
But you can also start with another simple Spanish word “soy” which means “I am”. For example:

Hola, soy Markus — Hi, I’m Markus
To ask the name of a person you’re talking to, you can say:

¿Cómo te llamas? — What is your name?
When you’re introduced to someone, you should say “mucho gusto”. Its literal translation is “pleasure”. Although it sounds too formal in English, this important Spanish phrase can also be translated as “nice to meet you”.

Here are more simple Spanish phrases to use when you need to talk about yourself:

(Yo) tengo … años — I am … years old.
(Yo) soy de — I come from


Common Spanish Words and Phrases to Start a Conversation (and Keep It Going)
Of course, you can’t expect to have some small talk without knowing some Spanish greetings. One of the most popular words in Spanish is “hola” which means “hi” or “hello”. You can also use the following Spanish expressions:

Buenos días — Good morning
Buenas tardes — Good afternoon
Buenas noches — Good evening / Good night
To keep the conversation going, it’s time to ask “how are you”. Here are some basic Spanish questions that come after greeting:

¿Cómo está usted? — How are you? (formal)
¿Cómo estás? — How are you? (informal)
¿Qué tal? — How are you? (informal) / What’s up?
¿Cómo te va? — How’s it going?
¿Qué haces? — What are you doing?
¿Qué pasa? — What’s happening?
If someone asks you one of these questions, you can use the following conversational Spanish phrases:

Bien, gracias — Good, thank you
Muy bien — Very well
Así, así — So, so
Como siempre — As always
And also don’t forget about this fundamental follow-up question:

¿Y tú? — And you?
If you feel like it’s time to switch to English, you’re free to clarify whether the person you’re talking to speaks English or not. Just say “¿Habla inglés?” that is used for “Do you speak English?”.
