Lesson 2 - 저는 마이클 찬입니다.



About - the way to greet someone and introduce myself to others.

This lesson 2 is slightly different from the previous lesson. This introduces a new expression "만나서 반갑습니다" and explains the way of greeting in more detail. "만나서 반갑습니다" is usually said on the first day when they meet someone. It means "(I am) glad to meet you" in English.

In the expression "저는 (누구)입니다," "저는" means I in English. "저는" is more polite expression than "나는" and is said when they show their politeness to the listeners: when they say to older person, someone in higher position or who they meet for the first time.

만나서 반갑습니다. (I am glad to meet you.)
