Hola! ¿Que tal?

Hi, Justin, my name is Monique, and I am a Tutor. I am happy to help with your Spanish introduction.

In Spanish, there are two ways to introduce yourself:  informal and formal.  It's important to use one or the other, as this is part of the Spanish language and culture.

You can use the formal when meeting someone for the first time or have a formal business relationship with.

You can use the informal when greeting someone you're already familiar with.

Here are both ways:

FORMAL:    ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? Me llamo Justin. ¿Cómo está ? ¿Soy de Taipei, Taiwán. ¿Y usted, de dónde viene? Es un placer conocerlo.  NOTE 1:  If it's a female you a greeting formally, the last word is "conocerla."  

INFORMAL:  ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? Me llamo Justin. ¿Cómo estás? ¿Soy de Taipei, Taiwán. ¿Y tú, de dónde vienes?  ¡Es un placer conocerte!

I hope this helps, Justin!
