Introduction in Japanese

One of the most important language skills when communicating with individuals from abroad is the initial self-introduction. This is especially important in Japan where strict cultural rules of manners and behavior govern a variety of social situations.

Basic Introduction Vocabulary:
1) Konnichiwa  「こんにちは」 - Good Afternoon
2) NAME to moushi masu. 「NAMEと申します。」 - My name is ...
3) Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu 「よろしくお願いします。」 - Cultural Phrase (Think of it as "Nice to meet you." in this context)

If you remember these three phrases when visiting Japan, you will have no problem introducing yourself. Just remember to say your last name first, followed by your first name (and then bow, of course!)
