¿De dónde eres? - Where are you from?

¡Hola!

I hope you are ready to continue learning.

Today we will add some more information to introduce ourselves!

Are you ready? ¿Estáis listos?

When we meet people usually we ask them where they are from or someone will ask us.

How do we ask? We will use below expression:

¿De dónde eres?

and we will reply

Soy española

There are some tips you will need before watching the video below:

In Spanish we have genders. We do not use the same word to describe a girl or a boy.

For example: I am a girl from Spain, so I will say: Soy española.

But if I am a boy from Spain, I will say: Soy español.

Some nationalities are the same for a girl or for a boy, so we will say:

Soy canadiense.  (I am Canadian)

I am sorry to say, you usually need to learn the nationalities. With the time you will get use to, and you could even work out by yourself some nationalities.

Please watch the video below for pronunciation. You will need to write down the nationalities. I am not going to do it now for you, because if I give you everything done, you won´t learn.


Obviously I could not record all the nationalities in the world. Please ask in your comments for any nationality you would like to know, I will be happy to reply to all your questions.

Now we are able to do a longer introduction of ourselves:

Ana:¡Hola! Me llamo Ana. ¿Cómo te llamas?
Carlos:Me llamo Carlos. ¿De dónde eres?
Ana: Soy argentina. ¿y tú?
Carlos:Soy inglés.

In the next lesson we will learn more questions and we will be able to tell more things about ourselves.

Gracias y nos vemos pronto.
