Self-Introduction in Japanese (For Engineers)

A very important note before starting.
In Japanese, the letter "de" is pronounced as "the" in "there" AND "su" is pronounced as "ss" and
So read "Desu" as "Thess"

Haajimemaashite (It is used for beginning the introduction in formal Japanese)
Watashi wa ABC desu. (I am <Name>)
Watashi wa Gijyutsushya desu. (I am an Engineer)
*Note that here "Gi" is pronounced as in the gi in the word "gift"

Watashi wa Daaigakusei desu. (I am a College Student)
Or
Watashiwa <Company Name> de tsutomete imaasu. (I work at <Company Name>)

Douzo Yoroshiku (I am glad to meet you. ...Used to End the Introduction)

Try writing your own introduction in Japanese and read it aloud 😁

    Hey Superb. Thanks for your work.

    And I would like to know these too..
    "I came from <Country Name>"
    "What about you?"

    @Sahithi:

    Suppose you want to say. I am from India or I am an Indian : Watashi wa Indojin desu.

    I am a a Japanese: Watashi wa Nihonjin desu. (Here "Nihon" means Japan and "jin" means person)
    I am a a Chinese: Watashi wa Chugokujin desu.

    @sahithi-oJZaYj Aug 29, 2010

    I thought "Watashi wa Indian desu". πŸ˜€ Ok Its "Watashi wa Indojin desu".
    Only a slight difference.

    Oh My God, Am getting Japanese. 😁

    Hehe I am glad that I am able to teach something here. It's so difficult to tell about a language online.

    In Japanese

    Teacher (Guru) is: Sensei
    Student is: Gakusei

  • Sahithi Pallavi

    @sahithi-oJZaYj Aug 29, 2010

    Ya Sensei, Really Its very difficult to teach a new language online, that pronunciation and all.
    Your teaching is nice. You are doing a great job .

    Why did this discussion stop here?

    It is really Atsui here!

    Good work AKD, please continue with general words and sentences that are frequented in everyday usage.

    I believe the quicker way to learn Japanese is to learn them from animes πŸ˜›
    You get to enjoy the anime itself as well as learn the language with their correct pronunciation. πŸ˜€
