纠杨,我刚来两个月。
Repeat the phrase which is roughly equivalent to glad to meet you.

游洋,我刚来两个月。
You know that, in order to talk about time spent up to now,
you use a marker leu after the verb,
and a marker leu at the end of the sentence.
我来了两个月了。
But notice that no marker leu is used at all
when Professor Hollands talks about how long she's been in Taiwan.
Sentences with the adverb 刚, just,
meaning immediately proceeding in time,
often have no marker leu.
This is the focus is not on the amount of time
having been spent up until now,
but on the shortness of that time.
Repeat,
Glad to meet you.
It's only been two months since I came.
游洋,我刚来两个月。
Say it ahead of the speaker.
