Hello everyone!
Oi gente!  
Here is Leticia from Aprenda English Comigo!!!
 Aqui é a Leticia do Aprenda English Comigo!
Today’s question is: “Where are you from?” 
A pergunta de hoje é: “De onde você é?” (/uér ariu from/ = som em Portugês) 
WHERE... ARE... YOU... FROM
“De onde você é?”
Wher’ufrom?
“Donde cê é?”
They will probably ask you that as soon as they notice an accent. 
Eles provavelmente perguntarão isso assim que eles perceberem um sotaque. 
So the example of an answer would be: 
Então o exemplo de uma resposta seria: 
“I’m from Brazil!”
“Eu sou do Brasil!”
I’M FROM BRAZIL!
“Eu sou do Brasil!”
I’m... from … the place where you’re from
“Eu sou … do lugar de onde você é”
“I’m from Brazil!”
“Eu sou do Brasil!”
Notice that “I’m Brazilian.” is not really the correct answer. 
Note que “Eu sou brasileira(o).” não é ‘bem’ a resposta correta.
So... you wanna say the PLACE where you’re from. 
 Então.. O que você quer falar é o LUGAR de onde você é.  
The usual answer is to name your country, 
A resposta comum é dizer o nome do país
But that sometimes it will bring another question: 
Mas as vezes isso leva à uma outra pergunta:
Where in … the country or 
De onde... no país ou
“Where in Brazil are you from?”
“De onde no Brasil?”
“WHERE IN BRAZIL ARE YOU FROM?”
“De onde no Brasil?”
Where are you from in Brazil?
“De onde no Brasil?”
So I would say: “I’m from Rio.” 
Então.. Eu falaria: “Eu sou do Rio”
“I’M FROM RIO.” 
“EU SOU DO RIO”
Or just: “RIO!” 
Ou somente: “RIO!” 
“Rio de Janeiro”
“Rio de Janeiro” 
So that’s it for today
Então por hoje é só 
Thank you
Obrigada
Do your homework
Faça o seu dever de casa

How are you?

 How are you?.... I really want to know. Here in the United States sometimes people ask this just "because". They don't want an answer or don't even wait for one if they don't want to strike up a conversation. It's almost like a "hello", now carry on. Don't be offended by this type of behavior.. sometimes they even get surprised if someone stops and say "I'm good, and you?".  "How's it going?" is also a different way to ask the same thing. = "How are you?" "How are you doing?" made famous by Joey ("How you doin" with a NYC drawl) from Friends as a pick up line, but still used by many as ... = "How are you?" "How have you been?" said in an extremely short/quick way. Someone might say that if they haven't seen you in a while... = "How are you?" "What's up?" .... oooh this one....  according to dictionary.com  this greeting was made famous by no...

What's your name?

Introducing ourselves... After we say hello/hi, the next thing should be to find out the other person's name, or at least let them know ours.... Nowadays, people strike up conversations with strangers, then say goodbye without ever even thinking of asking for names. It can be very upsetting to realize afterwards that you completely forgot to do that...  Different settings can influence how people may ask for your name. Formal, making an appointment, or conversational, these also call for different answers.  Formal setting and making appointments ask the same question: "May I have your name please?" Answer: "First and Last name" or "Last name and First" Conversations on formal settings also call for "Last name followed by the First and Last", people may ask by saying "Mr....??? or Miss...??? or Mrs.....???" Imagine introducing yourself to your boss or a client.   Introducing yourself in a more relaxed setting... Americans do like to ...
