Learning the names of the main countries and their nationalities in English is very important for everyday communication. Imagine meeting new people from different parts of the world — you will want to ask “Where are you from?” or say “I’m from Brazil. I’m Brazilian.”
Knowing how to say countries and nationalities helps you:
Introduce yourself and talk about your origin.
Ask others about their background and make new friends.
Communicate while traveling, at airports, hotels, or filling out forms.
Understand news, culture, and international conversations.
Use English in professional contexts such as job interviews, networking, or studies abroad.
The rule is simple:
Use the country after “from” → I’m from Canada.
Use the nationality after the verb “to be” → I’m Canadian.
With this vocabulary, you’ll be ready to introduce yourself with confidence, connect with people from around the world, and feel more prepared for real-life situations in English.
