When we meet someone new, we want to know which place they are from.

So how would you ask that question and how would you answer it? Today's lesson is all about that.

Listen to all the sample conversations, and also make sure you check out the vocabulary section at the end.

You can practice the lines by pausing the lesson and repeating the dialog anywhere you want!

Let's get it started now!
