Learning English is a serious, painstaking task on which you need to spend a sufficient amount of time.
But if proven professionals and native speakers help you with this, believe me, learning will be much easier and more interesting than you previously thought. See for yourself by attending our trial lesson. Just wait for our response.
What is your name? [here is from her name] - What is your name?
The answer to this question is quite simple: My name is... [may name from] - my name is...
This is followed by the formula: Nice to meet you [nice to meet you] - nice to meet you.
Example of dialogue after greeting and introduction:
-Where are you from? [vea yu from] – where are you from? (From what country?)
- I am from Russia [ay em from Russia] - I am from Russia.
- And you? [end yu] - And you?

If you need to introduce a third party, you should indicate who they are to you.
My friend [may friend] my friend.
My colleague [may kolyg] my colleague.
For example:
Let me introduce my son [let mi introduction may san] - let me introduce you to my son.
After exchanging a few formal phrases, you can ask about the affairs of the interlocutor. It should be taken into account that these questions are of a polite nature and it is customary to answer them briefly, without going into detail, since this is not customary in most European countries.
- How are you? [how a yu] - how are you?
- I am fine, thanks, and you? [ay em fine, sanks, and u] everything is fine, thank you, how are you doing?
For normal communication and to maintain a dialogue with a stranger at the proper level, knowledge of typical phrases is necessary. Using the following phrases, you can maintain a dialogue or end it politely.
Why have you come to…? – why did you come to...?
I’m having a holiday here - I’m on vacation.

I always wanted to live abroad
I agree - I agree.
Whenever you like - when you feel comfortable.
Good idea - good idea.
What about…? - What about…?
Just a minute - just a minute.
I see - I understand.
I hope to see you soon again - I hope we meet again.
In order to exchange contact information, you will need knowledge of the following vocabulary:
What is your phone number? – what is your phone number?
What is your email address? - What's your e-mail address?
At the end of the dialogue, you should say goodbye, wishing your interlocutor all the best. For this there are the following stable expressions:
Take care - take care of yourself.
Good buy - bye, goodbye.
