Countries & Nationalities

English Vocabulary

The word 'Nationality' is not often used in spoken English. It is a formal and official word and it
appears more frequently in written English. You will find the word 'Nationality' is used a lot in the
travel industry and for immigration.
We almost never say: What is your nationality?
We usually say: Where are you from? OR Where do you come from?
To tell someone your nationality you DON'T say: My nationality is Chilean.
You say: I'm Chilean

Remember
I am from Chile.
To Be + from + country

I am Chilean.
To Be + Nationality
