Self introduction phrases from Animal crossing new horizons

Isabelle called Shizue in Japanese edition.
and she says..

はじめまして hajimemashite

しずえともうします。shizue to moushimasu

This is good expressions for formal occasions.

もうします is a humble expression of いう ( meaning "say")

So if you use those phrase for self-introducing, you could say like this.

はじめまして。hajimemashite.

Your name ともうします。 [your name] to moushimasu.

よろしくおねがいします。yoroshikuonegaishimasu.

more formal expressions of よろしくおねがいします are

どうぞよろしくおねがいします or （どうぞ）よろしくおねがいいたします.

these are used in job interview or formal speech , conference etc...

Next is casual expression.

はじめまして

ぼくは（わたしは）＿＿＿＿だよ

ぼく is one of first person pronoun used by men and boys.

だよ is casual expression of です.

はじめましてー

ぼく（わたし）は＿＿＿＿＿＿だよ(です）

よろしくね

I use those phrases for casual conversation.

Imagine this situation

New coworker comes to you and You need to introduce yourself.

You have been working there for few years . 

if new coworker looks younger than you, or looks same age as you,

say this.

はじめまして

わたしは＿＿＿＿＿＿です

よろしくね

if new coworker looks older than you

はじめまして

わたしは＿＿＿＿＿＿です

よろしくおねがいします

If you are below 21 years old ( not adult), 

and new coworker looks same age or younger than you.

はじめまして

わたし(ぼく)は＿＿＿＿＿＿だよ

よろしくね

Japanese show respects to elder people by using polite expressions.

Even if the listener is just one years older than you, you will use the polite expressions.

Using です might be wiser choice because we couldn't tell the listener's age.

The listener sometimes says that you should stop using the polite expressions for me.

In that case, the listener wants to talk with you like a real friend.

Hope this lesson help your Japanese learning!
