One of the most common conversation starters you can use, and one of the most reliable questions you will be asked when traveling or studying in a foreign country is "Where are you from?". 

Be prepared to hear this and to say this when you're working, traveling or studying in China. Likewise, it's a great conversation starter if you're around Chinese people abroad.
_______________________

Nǐ shì nǎ guó rén?
你是哪国人?
Where are you from? / Which country are you from?

Wǒ shì měi guó rén.
我是美国人.
I am American.
_______________________

我是 (wǒ shì) = I am/is/are

美国人 (měi guó rén) = American

So, next time you are looking for a conversation starter, or are getting ready to meet or greet others in China or abroad, be sure to use "Nǐ shì nǎ guó rén?" and get to know someone!
