Self Introduction in Korean
So, I'm back with another interesting topic(some of you may already know, but I'm sure there'll be at least a few who were expecting this topic to be online, yes?). So, in the previous chapters, we learned the question words, how to use those question words and how to answer them in Korean, also, how to ask for locations and answer those, and so many other grammar lessons.
But this time, we are going to see, how you'll introduce yourself in the Korean language. I'll be giving some examples also.
As you know, there are a lot of professions across the world, and we all do different kinds of jobs, right? Before we start, let's look at some common professions people are into these days. Learning these words will help you better introduce yourself quickly and easily!
Professions in Korean
The Korean word for 'profession' or 'occupation' or 'job' is,직업 (jikeob). Now let's learn the names of jobs in Korean.
N.B: I have tried to include the maximum number of jobs, to my knowledge. But still, every occupation name will not be there. So, if yours is not there, or you want to know some specific name, leave a comment below!

I think I have listed almost every job role that people are into nowadays. As I said earlier, if you think yours is missing, then ping me up in the comment section below!
So now we will start making simple and basic self-introductions for a beginner, using the above roles. All you need to memorize for this simple self-introduction is your name, job, and your native place.
Let's see how I introduce myself in Korean.
안녕하세요, 제 이름은 안잘리입니다. 저는 졸업생입니다. 저는 인도에서 왔습니다.만나서 반갑습니다.
What does this mean? It is,
Hi, my name is Anjali. I'm a graduate. I'm from India. Nice to meet you.
annyeonghaseyo, je ireumeun anjaliibnida. jeoneun joreobsaengibnida. Jeoneun indoeseo wasseubnida. mannaseo bangapseubnida.
So easy, right?
Now let's practice by making more examples using the details.

This is pretty easy, right?
Now, following this, you can easily introduce yourself confidently in front of anyone, in Korean. But just reading these won't help. Practice making sentences on your own and follow these tips to learn basic Korean in just 3 months!
