--explanation--

This dialogue between Florencia and Federico reviews fundamental introductory phrases:

Mi nombre es and Me llamo are alternative ways to say your name.

¿De dónde eres? means "Where are you from?". This question is answered with Soy de + [country].

¿Cuántos años tienes? means "How old are you?". This question is answered with Tengo + [number] + años.

¿Y vos? means "And you?" and it's used to return a question. It's a regional variation of ¿Y tú? ("And you?") common in Central American countries like El Salvador, and some South American countries, like Argentina.

Encantada ("Nice to meet you") and Igualmente ("Likewise") are polite phrases used during introductions.
