Introducing Yourself In Japanese
Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 9:35 pm
Introductions seem to be a big thing for the Japanese.
I've learned the standard
はじめまして。____です。よろしくお願いします。
But I know that you can say other things while introducing yourself as well.
My question is, is the above formula more or less appropriate on pretty much any occasion?
The last time I had to introduce myself to a Japanese was a few weeks ago. I started with はじめまして, and then stopped because this person is fairly eminent and I was hesitant as to whether the above would really be appropriate...
