Summary
These are just the Japanese dialogues for podcast #02 “How to do a self introduction in Japanese.
How to do a basic self introduction in Japanese
Today’s podcast will teach you how to do a self introduction in Japanese. This is extremely useful for students who are about to start a new Japanese course at university, college or even high school. Don’t worry, although there are many ways you could do this, we’ve made you an easy template with 5 simple steps for you to use to make your own. Just change the words in blue to fit your own information.
Step 1: Say your name
はじめまして、ジェニファーと申します。
Hajimemashite, Jennifer to moushimasu
Nice to meet you. I’m Jennifer.
Step 2: Say where you’re from
アメリカのカリフォルニア州から来ました。
Amerika no kariforunia shuu kara kimashita
I come from California in the US
Step 3: Say what your hobbies and interests are
趣味はタンゴダンスです。そして、食いしん坊です。
Shumi wa tangodansu desu. soshite kuishinbou desu
My hobby is dancing tango. Also I love food.
Step 4: Say you’ll do your best to study Japanese
これから日本語を一所懸命勉強したいと思います。
Korekara nihongo wo isshokenmei benkyou shitai to omoimasu
I want to do my best to study Japanese.
Step 5: Use a natural Japanese phrase express good will and end the introduction
宜しくお願い致します。*
yoroshiku onegai itashimasu
I look forward to (studying) with you
*This literally means “I count on your good favour in the future” but it can mean anything from “nice to meet you” to “I look forward to working/studying with you”
If you listen to the podcast you can hear more examples of self introductions.
