Introducing yourself

Do you want to meet some Brazilians? The first thing you need then is to learn how to introduce yourself. Here is a dialogue between Maria, a Brazilian, and Sally, an American:

- Olá, meu nome é Maria. Qual é o seu nome? Hello, my name is Maria. What is your name?
- O meu nome é Sally. Muito prazer. My name is Sally. Nice to meet you.
- Igualmente. Bem-vinda ao Brasil! Likewise. Welcome to Brazil!
- Obrigada. Thank you.
- De nada. You’re welcome.

Brazilians are very friendly people and they will always welcome you! When they welcome you, say "obrigada" if you are a woman. If you are a man, say "obrigado".
