You've learned how to introduce yourself using me llamo. Another common way is by using the verb soy, like this:
Soy + your name
In Spanish, you usually don’t need to include the subject pronoun, like Yo. Since verbs are conjugated, you can tell who is speaking from the verb itself. So instead of saying Yo soy Marta, you can simply say:
Soy Marta – I'm Marta.
This is a very natural and common way to introduce yourself.
Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
What is her name?
Elena
This is a different name. Try listening again to the audio.
Lucía
This name wasn't mentioned. Focus on the last word in the audio.
Laura
This is a common name, but not the one spoken.
Camila

Soy Camila means "I am Camila" in Spanish.
Soy means "I am", and it's often used to introduce your name without needing to say yo. For example:
Soy Daniel. – I am Daniel.
