Practice saying "我来自... (Wǒ lái zì...)" out loud to improve your pronunciation.
Listen to native Chinese speakers saying "I'm from..." to get a sense of the natural rhythm and intonation.

Additional Notes:

When saying where you are from, you can use either the pinyin name of the place or the Chinese characters.

Chinese: 我来自美国。
Pinyin: Wǒ lái zì Měiguó.
English: I'm from the United States.
