Listen again and repeat.

Let's try another.

Imagine you're Karolina Kalashnikova. Каролина Калашникова (Karolina Kalashnikova).

Include “Nice to meet you.”

Let's try one more.

Imagine you're Katya Kovalenko. Катя Коваленко (Katya Kovalenko).

Use the variation pattern to say, “I’m Katya Kovalenko.”

Ready?

Здравствуйте. Меня зовут Сергей Свалов. Приятно познакомиться. (Zdravstvuyte. Menya zovut Sergey Svalov. Priyatno poznakomit'sya.)

Я Катя Коваленко. (Ya Katya Kovalenko.)
