Getting to Know You by Cari Luna

Now that everyone's been introduced, you'll want to share some information about yourself and learn more about the person you've just met.

Nationality and Origin

You'll recall that the verb ser can be used to describe nationality. For example:

Soy americana.

I'm American.

Now, bear in mind that people from Mexico, Central America, and South America are all Americans too! To be clear (and sensitive to this fact), you could also say:

Soy de los Estados Unidos.

soy deh lohs ehs-TAH-dohs oo-NEE-dohs

I'm from the United States.

Soy estadounidense.

soy ehs-tah-doh-oo-nee-DEHN-seh

I'm American (from United States).
