Short Introduction using Bahasa Indonesia

For now I would like to post a short introduction that you could do to tell others about yourself in a simple Bahasa Indonesia way:

Halo selamat pagi, nama saya Vince, saya dari Amerika, saya datang ke Indonesia seminggu yang lalu, salam kenal.

And this is how it would be in English:

Hello good morning, my name is Vince, I am from America, I came to Indonesia a week ago, nice to meet you.

You could always change good morning into good afternoon (selamat siang if it's around 12 pm/ selamat sore if it's around 3 pm), or you could say good evening (selamat malam).

You could also change a week ago into two weeks ago (dua minggu yang lalu), three days ago (tiga hari yang lalu), or yesterday (kemarin/ you could also say sehari yang lalu for yesterday but it's not economical), depends on the your arrival.

Now, you could practice with this sentence:

Hello good evening, my name is Jennifer, I am from New Zealand, I just got here yesterday, great to see you all.
