Hola, in this podcast, you’ll practice an informal introduction in Spanish (using “tú”). I’ll ask a question and leave a pause for you to answer and then ask me the same question, or simply say: “And you?” After that, I’ll give you my answer and move on to the next question. If you need more time to think, pause the audio.

The questions you will practice are: 
¿Cómo te llamas? Me llamo (Mucho gusto / Mucho gusto también) (¿y tú?) 
¿De dónde eres? Soy de... / Soy + nacionalidad (¿y tú?) 
¿Dónde vives? Yo vivo en... (¿y tú?) 
¿A qué te dedicas? Soy... (¿y tú?) 
¿Qué te gusta hacer en tu tiempo libre? Me gusta + verbo en infinitivo (¿y a ti?) 
¿Qué idiomas hablas? Hablo... (¿y tú?) 
¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono? Mi número de teléfono es... (¿y el tuyo?) 
¿Tienes correo electrónico? Sí, mi correo es... (¿y el tuyo?) 

Let’s get started!
