🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Americans often move to first names immediately after saying 'My name is [Full Name]'. It's a sign of friendliness and equality. In the UK, using 'My name is' followed by a title (Mr., Ms., Dr.) is common in formal settings to maintain a respectful distance. When Japanese speakers use English, they often have to decide whether to put their family name first or last. In English, the 'Given Name + Family Name' order is standard. In many Arabic-speaking cultures, names can be very long (including father's and grandfather's names). In English introductions, people usually shorten this to 'My name is [First Name] [Family Name]'.

💡

Smile while saying it

An introduction is 50% words and 50% body language. A smile makes 'My name is' sound much more welcoming.

⚠️

Don't forget the 'is'

Beginners often say 'My name John'. Always remember the verb 'is' to link the subject to the name.
