Introductions in Russian

Privyet!  So now that we can say hello in Russian, both formally and informally, lets learn how to ask someone their name.  This is a good question to know how to ask when you are visiting an orphanage or a group of hosted children.  The informal way is by asking “Как тебя зовут?”  pronounced kak te-BYA za-VOOT.  Literally this means “how you they call” but is equivalent to “what is your name” in English.  In a formal situation, you would “Как вас зовут? ?” pronounced kak vas za-VOOT?  The person will respond with their name.  To introduce yourself simply say “Меня зовут...  Suzette” , pronounced “men-YA za-VOOT  Suzette”.  Literally this means “Me they call Suzette.”  Here is a link for listening to introductions:  http://masterrussian.com/blday_introductions.shtml.
