Welcome back to a new video guys.
Today you'll be learning how to introduce yourself in English.
This is not just listening, this is also speaking practice.
I will ask you a question and you answer out loud.
If you need more time, pause the video.
Then Leon answers like he is you and you compare.
Hi everyone.
By the end of this video, you will be able to introduce yourself three ways.
A short introduction for quick situations, a normal introduction for new friends and a more professional introduction for school or work.
And most importantly, you'll know what to say next time to keep the conversation going.
No awkward ending.
Exactly.
Let's get started.
Here is a simple formula.
Greeting.
Name.
From.
What you do.
One extra detail.
And nice to meet you.
I'll say it again, slow and clear.

My name is.
To sound more natural, you can kind of blend it together and say my name is.
My name is.
Instead of my name is.

My name is.
Instead of pronouncing each word completely separate.
My name is Volca.

Great.
What brings you here today?
I'm here to practice English and meet new people.
Perfect answer.
Now let's move on to the expansion trick.
Here's how to sound more fluent without harder vocabulary.
You keep the same structure, but add small details.
There are three versions, the 10 second, the 20 second, and the 30 second version.
Let's get started.
10 seconds.
Hi, I'm Volca.
I'm from Canada.
I'm a teacher.
Nice to meet you.
20 seconds.
Hi, i'm volca.
I'm from canada.
I'm a teacher, i teach english online.
Nice to meet you.
30 seconds.
Hi, i'm volca.
I'm from canada, i teach english online and i love to travel.
I'm learning spanish right now.
Nice to meet you.
Now you try do the 10 second version first.
Hi, I'm Leon.
I'm from Canada.
I'm a student.
It's nice to meet you.
Perfect.
Now the 20-second version.
Hi, I'm Leon.
I'm from Canada.
I'm a student.
I study business, and it's nice to meet you.
Now the 30-second version.
Add two details.
Hi, I'm Leon.
I'm from Canada.
I'm a student.
I study business and I like sports.
I'm learning English every day.
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too.
So it's the same structure, but you just add one more detail every time.
Now it's time for a mini listening quiz.
Are you ready?
So I'm going to say an introduction and you tell me what the person's job is.
Hello, my name is Giselle.
I'm from Brazil.
I work in a hospital.
I love cooking.
Nice to meet you.
So what's her job?
She works in a hospital.
Perfect.
One more.
Hi, I'm Ken.
I'm from Japan.
I'm a student.
I like basketball.
Nice to meet you.
What's his job?
He's a student.
Correct.
So he doesn't have a job.
He is a student.
A quick recap.
Greeting, name, where you're from, what you do.
One extra detail.
Nice to meet you.
Here is a practice plan for the next seven days.
Day one, I want you to master the 10 second version.
That is the simplest version of an introduction.
Day two, I want you to add one detail and practice the 20 second version.
Day three, I want you to practice the 30 second version and add two details.
After that, I want you to add one detail every day and really try to focus on your pronunciation.
Be sure to record yourself with your camera so you can track your progress.
Same structure every day.
Exactly.
If you guys want more practice, write your introduction in the comments and I will tell you if you did good or if you need some improvement.
Name, country, job or student and one thing you like.
See you guys in the next natural and clear English podcast.
