<!-- (Audio) Camila: Soy Camila -->

--description--

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.

Soy Camila means "I am Camila" in Spanish.

Soy Daniel. – I am Daniel.
