You'll be challenged to say where you live.

First, let's look at some examples.

石川さんはどこに住んでいますか。(Ishikawa-san wa doko ni sunde imasu ka?)

渋谷に住んでいます。(Shibuya ni sunde imasu.)

To ask where someone lives, say...

どこに住んでいますか。(Doko ni sunde imasu ka?)

To answer, say the place name followed by...

に住んでいます。(ni sunde imasu.)

Listen to a few more examples.
