A common sticking point
Me llamo already means 'my name is' in this context. Use Me llamo Alex, rather than adding es after llamo. ¿Cómo te llamas? is informal; ¿Cómo se llama? is a polite alternative with an unfamiliar adult.
Change the situation. Keep the useful language.
Replace Alex with your name. Add where you are from, then ask one follow-up about the other person. Repeat with the model covered.
On your next attempt, note one part that was hard to retrieve. Review that phrase, then return to the entire exchange. When the familiar version feels easier, add a follow-up you have not rehearsed.
Take this situation into a real roleplay.
