ใ‚ใŸใ— ยท ใ‚ใŸใใ— ยท ใผใ โ€” Levels of "I"

Japanese has multiple first-person pronouns, each carrying a different formality level:
โ€ข ใ‚ใŸใใ— (watakushi) โ€” most formal; used in business, official speeches, humble contexts.
โ€ข ใ‚ใŸใ— (watashi) โ€” neutral; safe in any situation; the default for learners.
โ€ข ใผใ (boku) โ€” informal; typically used by males; friendly but not feminine.
โ€ข ใŠใ‚Œ (ore) โ€” rough/casual; male; avoid until you know the situation well.
When in doubt, use ใ‚ใŸใ—.
ใ€ใƒ“ใ‚ธใƒใ‚นใ€‘ใ‚ใŸใใ—ใฏ ใ‚„ใพใ ใจ ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใพใ™ใ€‚

[Business] Watakushi wa Yamada to moushimasu.   [Standard] Watashi wa Yamada desu.   [Casual] Boku, Yamada.
My name is Yamada โ€” at three levels of formality.

๏ฝžใ‹ใ‚‰ ใใพใ—ใŸ โ€” "I came from ~" (origin)

ใ‹ใ‚‰ means "from" (starting point). Combined with ใใพใ—ใŸ (past tense of ใใ‚‹, to come), it states your country or city of origin.
โ€ข [COUNTRY] ใ‹ใ‚‰ ใใพใ—ใŸ โ€” I came from [COUNTRY].
โ€ข [CITY] ใฎ [COUNTRY] ใ‹ใ‚‰ ใใพใ—ใŸ โ€” I came from [CITY] in [COUNTRY].
Formal upgrade: ใใพใ—ใŸ โ†’ ใพใ„ใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ (humble form of ใใ‚‹).
[CITY] ใฎ [COUNTRY] ใ‹ใ‚‰ ใใพใ—ใŸใ€‚
[city] no [country] kara kimashita.
โ†’ "I came from [CITY] in [COUNTRY]." โ€” ใฎ connects city to country like "of."
ใ‚ชใƒผใ‚นใƒˆใƒฉใƒชใ‚ขใฎ ใ‚ทใƒ‰ใƒ‹ใƒผใ‹ใ‚‰ ใใพใ—ใŸใ€‚
Oosutoraria no Shidonii kara kimashita.
I came from Sydney, Australia.

๏ฝžใซ ใ™ใ‚“ใงใ„ใพใ™ โ€” "I live in ~" (te-iru for ongoing state)

ใ™ใ‚€ (to live / to reside) in the ใฆ-form + ใ„ใพใ™ expresses a continuous, ongoing state โ€” the fact that you currently live somewhere.
โ€ข ใซ marks the location: ใจใ†ใใ‚‡ใ†ใซ ใ™ใ‚“ใงใ„ใพใ™.
โ€ข In casual speech, ใ™ใ‚“ใงใ„ใพใ™ contracts to ใ™ใ‚“ใงใ‚‹.
This te-iru pattern applies to many verbs describing ongoing states: ใ‘ใฃใ“ใ‚“ใ—ใฆใ„ใพใ™ (I'm married), ใฏใŸใ‚‰ใ„ใฆใ„ใพใ™ (I'm working), ในใ‚“ใใ‚‡ใ†ใ—ใฆใ„ใพใ™ (I'm studying).

Ima Oosaka ni sunde imasu. Mae wa Toukyou ni sunde imashita.
I live in Osaka now. I used to live in Tokyo.

๏ฝžใจ ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใพใ™ โ€” Humble self-introduction

ใ‚‚ใ†ใ™ (mousu) is the humble (ใ‘ใ‚“ใ˜ใ‚‡ใ†ใ”) form of ใ„ใ† (to say / to be called). When you say ใ‚ใŸใใ—ใฏ [NAME]ใจ ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใพใ™, you are using humble language to lower yourself and show respect to the listener.
The particle ใจ here is the quotation particle โ€” "I am called [NAME]."
At a more relaxed level, simply use: ใ‚ใŸใ—ใฏ [NAME]ใงใ™.
ใ€ใ‘ใ‚“ใ˜ใ‚‡ใ†ใ€‘ใ‚ใŸใใ—ใฏ ใ‚„ใพใ ใจ ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใพใ™ใ€‚
ใ€ใตใคใ†ใ€‘ใ‚ใŸใ—ใฏ ใ‚„ใพใ ใงใ™ใ€‚
[Humble] Watakushi wa Yamada to moushimasu.   [Standard] Watashi wa Yamada desu.
My name is Yamada โ€” humble vs. standard.

ๅ‡บ่บซ (shusshin) โ€” "Originally from"

ๅ‡บ่บซ (shusshin) means "place of origin / hometown." It is a noun used directly after a place name:
โ€ข ใจใ†ใใ‚‡ใ†ๅ‡บ่บซใงใ™ โ€” I'm from Tokyo (originally).
โ€ข ใฉใ“ๅ‡บ่บซใงใ™ใ‹๏ผŸ โ€” Where are you from originally?
It implies where you grew up or were born, which can differ from where you currently live. Often more natural than ใ‹ใ‚‰ ใใพใ—ใŸ in conversation.
A: ใฉใ“ๅ‡บ่บซใงใ™ใ‹๏ผŸใ€€B: ใซใปใ‚“ใฎ ใใ‚‡ใ†ใจๅ‡บ่บซใงใ™ใ€‚ใ„ใพใฏ ใŠใŠใ•ใ‹ใซ ใ™ใ‚“ใงใ„ใพใ™ใ€‚
A: Doko shusshin desu ka?   B: Nihon no Kyouto shusshin desu. Ima wa Oosaka ni sunde imasu.
A: Where are you from originally?   B: I'm from Kyoto, Japan. I live in Osaka now.

๏ฝžใ•ใ„ โ€” Age counter

ใ•ใ„ (sai / ๆญณ) is the counter for years of age. Attach it directly to the number:
โ€ข ใ„ใฃใ•ใ„ (1) ยท ใซใ•ใ„ (2) ยท ใ•ใ‚“ใ•ใ„ (3) ยท ใ‚ˆใ‚“ใ•ใ„ (4) ยท ใ”ใ•ใ„ (5)

Ask age with ใชใ‚“ใ•ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹๏ผŸ (standard) or ใŠใ„ใใคใงใ™ใ‹๏ผŸ (polite). Avoid asking a superior's age directly โ€” it can be considered rude.
