Beginners Spanish Podcast 4 – Names and ...

Gordon & Cynthia Smith-Duran
About this episode

In this beginner Spanish lesson we firstly help you introduce yourself by correctly offering your name and then we show you how to ask someone for their name and introduce a friend.

One of the biggest mistakes that beginner students make is introducing themselves incorrectly. You’ll find out that, normally, Spanish speakers don’t say “My name is..” but rather: “I call myself…”.

First impressions are everything and so knowing how to greet people correctly, like a true Spanish speaker, makes all the difference.

Of course, all the additional information and guidance can be found in the comprehensive Spanish help-sheets.
