When you introduce yourself, you do this 大家好!我是來自PLACE的NAME,今年AGE歲。 Hello everybody! I'm NAME from PLACE, AGE years old this year. My introduction would go something like this: 大家好,我是來自愛丁堡的何安杰,今年21歲。 After this, you can talk about other stuff like hobbies 我的愛好包括X、Y、Z Note the use of the Chinese listing comma. Oh, and I don't know whether you want to say 學習中文 or 學習外語 Laurence

No, you don't need to have 我 in every sentence. Indeed, Chinese is known to be a so-called "pro drop" language. You can "drop" the subject when it can be inferred in the context. I suggest you correct the sentences as follows: 我叫Nicolas,是美国人,今年22岁。 我喜欢旅行,摄影,和学语言。 p.s. 语文/文 usually only means the written language. 语言 covers both written and spoken language.

我叫Nicolas。我是美国人。我22岁。 我喜欢旅行,摄影,学习文。 -------------------------------------------------------- 我叫Nicolas, 今年22岁,来自美国。(You can reduce some "我" in your oral chinese, because most Chinese they don't like to repeat the same word in one sentence.) "今年" means "this year"; "来自" means "come from". 我喜欢旅行、摄影和学习中文。

我叫Nicolas,美国人,今年22岁。 我的爱好是旅行,摄影和学习中文。. 这样的说法是最流畅的。 我认为“我是来自XXX的XXX“没有任何语法问题,不存在英译汉的东西。语言一直在发展变化,我小学时候九十年代,自我介绍都是按照这种格式来介绍的。按照楼上的说法,文言文全是错的?因为不是七八九十年代的文学作品里的用法?无稽之谈。 Roy Zou的说法我比较赞同。不过我想说的是, Chinese is a language that NOT often uses 我 in EVERY sentence. Sentences those start by using 我 should be separated by at least 1 or 2 other sentences. Otherwise, people will think that your expression is very weird.

“我是来来自Place的Name,”这不是汉语。这是英译汉。无论你是从哪里学来的,这肯定不是汉语的表达方式,不信你就去看、七、八、九十代的书籍、影视作品。 事实上,随着中国人从小学、中学、大学都学英语,有一些根本不是汉语的表达方式,完全是英译汉的东西,也进入现代汉语,包括港台地区,这种现象也很严重。
