Hola everyone! I’m the new guy here – to the blog and to the Spanish speaking world. You may have seen a few videos I’ve posted so far giving tours of Mexico City<\/a> and the ruins of Teotihuacan<\/a>. In this post I’d like to introduce myself and help you do the same in Spanish.<\/p>\n

Now I live in Puerto Vallarta with my wife. Her name is Rachel. We don’t have any children. I’m an English teacher and a freelancer. I studied video production in college. Before I lived in China and Indonesia for six years. I like music, traveling, and sports. I want to study Spanish and I want to help you do the same!<\/p>\n

Introduce Yourself<\/h2>\n

Now that you’ve learned a little bit about me, let’s learn how to introduce yourself in Spanish. Here are some common introductory questions and how you can answer them:<\/p>\n

Cu\u00e1l es tu nombre?\/Como te llamas?
\nWhat’s your name?<\/h4>\n

Mi nombre es\u2026\/Me llamo\u2026
\nMy name is…<\/h4>\n

De d\u00f3nde es usted?
\nWhere are you from?<\/h4>\n

Soy de…
\nI’m from…<\/h4>\n

Cuantos a\u00f1os tienes?
\nHow old are you?<\/h4>\n

Tengo… a\u00f1os.
\nI’m… years old.<\/h4>\n

Cu\u00e1l es tu trabajo?
\nWhat’s your job?<\/h4>\n

Soy un\/una…
\nI’m a\/an…<\/h4>\n

Tienes hermanos\/hijos?
\nDo you have any siblings\/children?<\/h4>\n

Tengo… hermanos\/hijos.
\nI have… siblings\/children.
\nNo tengo… hermanos\/hijos.
\nI don’t have any siblings\/children.<\/h4>\n

Qu\u00e9 te gusta hacer?
\nWhat do you like to do?<\/h4>\n

Me gusta…
\nI like…<\/h4>\n

Go ahead and practice! Grab a friend and make them study with you, or just say it to yourself in a mirror. Reading is great but nothing beats speaking when you’re learning a language! You can also feel free to introduce yourself in Spanish in the comments section. As a new blogger here, I’d love to get to know some of our readers!<\/p>\n

Future Plans<\/h2>\n

Viajar en M\u00e9xico es genial.<\/p><\/div>\n

As I mentioned in my introduction, my wife and I call Mexico home now. We’re actually doing the “digital nomad” thing as our teaching jobs are online. We’ve been working and studying Spanish here, and we plan to travel to Colombia and other parts of South America starting in September. My Spanish is still at a beginner level. It’s been tough learning my third foreign language. I studied Chinese<\/a> and Indonesian<\/a> and you can find me contributing to both of those blogs as well. As a new learner\u00a0myself, I’ll be focused on sharing beginner-friendly Spanish lessons and videos. I’ll also share posts and videos about history, culture, and more as I travel around the Spanish speaking world. This blog belongs to you, though, so let us know what you want to read about, what questions you want answered, and what kind of videos you’d like to see. Leave a comment and share your thoughts!<\/p>\n

I’m sorry I won’t be able to cover very advanced language topics at first, and I apologize for my awful American accent in the videos. Please bear with me – I’m learning just like you are. As an English teacher, I always encourage my students to take chances, speak more, and use what they learn every day. I’ll do my best to do the same with Spanish, and I hope you’ll join me on my journey to study this wonderful language and the many cultures associated with it.
