Am called
💬 In [me llamo], [llamo] already means [I call myself] with [me], so Spanish uses this instead of a verb like English [am called]. Same pattern: [me presento] for [I introduce myself].

My name is
💬 Spanish usually says [me llamo ...] for introducing your name, literally [I call myself ...]. You can swap in any name after it: [Me llamo Ana].
