Spanish by Choice/SpanishPod newbie lesson A0082

My Name Is ...

Introduction

First contact! We learn how to say “hello” and how to introduce ourselves. And I think this is also one of the very first podcasts of the SpanishPod team. At least Leo seems to feel a bit uncomfortable in front of the mic. Well, there is always a first time. The keyword is llamarse – to call oneself.
