7
Tom, how are you doing this morning?
8
You look a little tired.
9
I am a little tired.
10
I went to bed very late last night.
11
Oh no, why?
12
What were you doing?
13
I was watching a cooking show on TV.
14
I could not stop watching it.
15
A cooking show at midnight?
16
Yes, they were making pizza.
17
Big, beautiful pizza with a lot of cheese.
18
I was lying in bed watching it for two hours.
19
Tom, were you hungry?
20
So hungry, Lily.
21
I was very, very hungry.
22
But it was midnight.
23
cook pizza at midnight.
24
Why not?
25
I cook at midnight sometimes.
26
You do not.
27
Okay, I don't, but it sounds like a rough night.
28
Did you eat anything?
29
I ate some crackers from the kitchen.
30
Not the same as pizza.
31
Not the same at all.
32
Oh, poor Tom.
33
I hope you had a good breakfast this morning.
34
I did.
35
I made eggs and toast.
36
Very simple.
37
Very good.
38
Perfect.
39
I had a banana and mango smoothie this morning.
40
Very fast, very delicious, and a lot of energy.
41
That sounds really good.
42
Maybe I should try that tomorrow instead of staying up watching food television.
43
Maybe that is a good idea.
44
Okay, everyone.
45
Today we have a very important topic for you.
46
This is one of the most useful things you can learn in English.
47
That's right.
48
Today we are talking about how to introduce yourself in English.
49
This topic is so important.
50
You need it every single day.
51
At school, at work, at a party, when you meet your neighbor, when you travel to a new country.
52
Everywhere.
53
You always need to introduce yourself.
54
And the good news is, it does not have to be difficult.
55
By the end of this video, you will feel ready.
56
I promise.
57
We are going to give you all the steps, some real examples, and a few funny stories from our own lives.
58
And there will be a vocabulary review at the end, so stay until the finish.
59
But first, before we start, we have a question for you.
60
Listen carefully during this video and find the answer.
61
Here is the question.
62
Something very embarrassing happens to Tom when he tries to introduce himself for the first time at a new place.
63
What does he say?
64
Write your answer in the comments at the end of the video.
65
We will reveal the answer before we say goodbye.
66
Pay attention, you will find it.
67
Okay, now let's get into it.
68
So, Tom, before we teach everyone the steps, I want to ask you something.
69
Have you ever had a funny or embarrassing moment when you introduced yourself to someone new?
70
Oh, yes.
71
Many times.
72
But one moment I will never, never forget.
73
Tell me.
74
Okay.
75
So, last year I decided to join a yoga class.
76
It was my very first class.
77
You did yoga?
78
I tried yoga.
79
I tried.
80
So, on the first day, the teacher stood at the front of the room and said, "Okay, everyone, before we start,
81
please introduce yourself to the person next to you." That makes sense.
82
Normal, right?
83
Normal for most people, yes.
84
But I was very nervous.
85
The woman next to me turned and smiled and said, "Hi, I don't think we've met.
86
What's your name?" And what did you say?
87
I stood there for maybe five full seconds just staring at her.
88
And then I said...
89
"I am a person." You said what?
90
"I am a person.
91
That is what I said.
92
I don't know why.
93
My brain just stopped working." Oh, Tom, I am a person.
94
That is the most beautiful introduction I have ever heard.
95
She looked at me very carefully and said, "Yes, I can see that." And then she waited,
96
for about three more seconds, I said, "I'm Tom.
97
Sorry, I'm nervous." She laughed and said that was very honest.
98
That is actually very sweet, and it shows something important.
99
Even when you are nervous, if you smile and keep trying, people are kind.
100
She was very kind.
101
We actually talked for a long time after class.
102
See?
103
One little introduction can start a real friendship.
104
What about you, Lily?
105
Any embarrassing introduction stories?
106
Oh, yes.
107
I have one from a few months ago.
108
I was at my friend's birthday party.
109
There were many people I didn't know.
110
A very friendly man came over and said, "Hey, I don't think we know each other.
111
I'm James." Okay.
112
Normal so far.
113
Yes.
114
And I said my name perfectly.
115
"Hi, I'm Lily.
116
Very smooth.
117
Very confident.
118
I was proud of myself." So, what went wrong?
119
"So, Lily, what do you do?" And I panicked.
120
I don't know why.
121
I just completely panicked.
122
I could not think of the word for my job.
123
So I said, "I work with talking and words and also people." I work with talking and words.
124
He nodded very slowly and said, "Oh, that sounds really interesting.
125
But his face, Tom, his face !" He had no idea what you were saying.
126
No idea.
127
None at all.
128
We both laughed about it after, and I finally explained properly.
129
But yes, introductions can be hard, even for me sometimes.
130
And that is exactly why this lesson is so important.
131
Everyone has moments like this.
132
You are not alone.
133
Okay, let's talk about the grammar for today.
134
Don't worry, it is very simple.
135
For introductions, we use "I am" or the short form "I'm." They mean exactly the same thing: "I am Tom." I'm Tom.
136
Both are correct.
137
In normal conversation, most people say "I'm" because it sounds more natural and faster.
138
So practice saying "I'm" with your name right now.
139
I'm Lily.
140
Your turn.
141
Go ahead.
142
I'm Tom.
143
See?
144
Very easy.
145
For talking about your job, we say I work, not I am work.
146
That is a very common mistake.
147
We say I work in a hospital, I work at a cafe, I work for a big company.
148
The small word after work changes a little.
149
We say work in for a building or industry, work at for a specific place, Work for for a company or person.
150
But don't worry too much.
151
Even native speakers mix these sometimes.
152
For students, we say, "I study," or, "I'm a student." For example,
153
"I study medicine at university," or, "I'm a first -year student." Very simple.
154
And for hobbies and free time, we use "I like," I love or I enjoy.
155
All three work well.
156
I like cooking.
157
I love music.
158
I enjoy hiking on weekends.
159
One small grammar tip: after "I enjoy" we add "ing", so we say "I enjoy cooking",
160
not "I enjoy to cook", but after "I like" and "I love" Both forms are okay.
161
I like to cook and I like cooking are both correct.
162
These are your building blocks.
163
Name, where you're from, job or studies, and one thing you enjoy.
164
Learn those four and you are ready for almost any introduction.
165
Okay, now let's go through each step together with real examples, step by step.
166
Step 1.
167
Your name.
168
This is the most important part, the first thing you say.
169
You can say, Hi, I'm Lily.
170
Or, Hello, my name is Lily.
171
Or even just, Hey, I'm Lily.
172
All three are completely fine.
173
The level of formality depends on the situation.
174
In a job interview, say, Hello, my name is Tom.
175
At a party or in class, Hi, I'm Tom is perfect.
176
On the street or at a cafe, "Hey, I'm Tom" works great.
177
Don't say, "I am a person," just for the record.
178
Please don't.
179
Learn from my mistake.
180
Joyful.
181
Step 2: Where you are from or where you live.
182
You can say, "I'm from" for your home country or city, or "I live in" for your current location.
183
For example, "I'm from Mexico, but I live in London now," or "I'm from a small town in Asheville," I live in Seoul.
184
All of these are perfect.
185
Tom, when you meet someone new, do you say where you're from or where you live?
186
Usually both, because I live far from my hometown now.
187
So I say I'm from the north of the country originally, but I've been living in the city for about five years.
188
It tells a small story.
189
I love that.
190
It gives the other person something to ask about.
191
Oh, do you miss your hometown?
192
And suddenly you have a real conversation.
193
Exactly.
194
That's the goal.
195
A good introduction opens a door.
196
It gives the other person something to walk through.
197
Step 3: Your job or your studies.
198
This is the part I struggled with at the party.
199
I work with talking and words.
200
Never again. is keep it simple.
201
One sentence.
202
Job title plus one detail.
203
That is all you need.
204
For example, "I'm a nurse.
205
I work in a children's hospital." Or, "I'm a teacher.
206
I teach English to adults." Or, "I'm a driver.
207
I deliver packages across the city." You don't need big, complicated vocabulary.
208
"I work in a bank" is much better than trying to say something long and confusing.
209
The simpler, the better.
210
And if you were a student, it's even easier.
211
"I'm a student.
212
I study engineering." Or, "I'm in my second year of university." One sentence is enough.
213
I met a woman on the train last month.
214
We started talking.
215
She said, "Hi, I'm Maria.
216
I'm a designer.
217
I make logos and websites for small businesses." Just like that.
218
Simple, clear, and I immediately knew what she did.
219
I asked her about her work and we talked the whole journey.
220
I work in the field of digital visual communications.
221
She just said what she does, and it worked.
222
Exactly.
223
Real English is simple English.
224
Step four.
225
This is my favorite step.
226
Your hobby or something you like.
227
This is the step that makes your introduction feel like a real person and not a robot.
228
Very true.
229
I'm Lily, I work in media, Okay, fine.
230
But I'm Lily, I work in media, and in my free time, I love hiking in the mountains.
231
Now you know something about who I am.
232
And what does someone say after that?
233
They ask, oh really, where do you like to hike?
234
And now we have a real conversation.
235
A hobby is like an invitation.
236
cook.
237
It's relaxing.
238
That is very honest, Tom.
239
I think people appreciate honesty.
240
They really do.
241
And that brings us to the bonus step, step five.
242
You can tell someone why you are there.
243
This works especially well in classes, at events, or when you start somewhere new.
244
For example, in a language class, you can say, I'm here because I want to travel next year and I need English to communicate.
245
Or, I'm learning English because because I want a better job.
246
- These kinds of sentences show that you have goals, that you are growing.
247
People find that very interesting and very motivating.
248
I remember when I joined a photography class two years ago.
249
On the first day, everyone introduced themselves.
250
When it was my turn, I said, Hi, I'm Tom.
251
I work in media.
252
I'm here because I want to learn how to take better pictures of my food. Of course.
253
Of course it was about food.
254
The whole class laughed.
255
The teacher laughed.
256
But it was honest, and everyone remembered me after that.
257
That is the best kind of introduction.
258
People remember you because you were real and funny.
259
You didn't try to sound perfect.
260
Right?
261
And I made three friends that day because they all wanted to talk about food photography.
262
Aww, see?
263
One honest introduction, three new friends.
264
Now, let's talk about something that some people find uncomfortable.
265
What if someone asks about your family?
266
This is very common, especially in a relaxed setting, like a dinner party, or when you meet your neighbor, or when you start a new job.
267
You can keep it simple.
268
"I have a small family," or "I come from a big family with four brothers." Or, I live alone, but my family is close by.
269
You don't need to give a lot of detail unless you want to.
270
Just one sentence.
271
It gives the other person a small window into your life.
272
I usually say, "I have one sister.
273
She lives in another city, so we video call a lot.
274
It shows I'm a family person without telling my whole life story." And people love talking about family, especially if you mention something funny.
275
Last week, I told someone I have a cat who thinks she owns my apartment. Does she?
276
Completely.
277
She sits in my chair, she eats before I do,
278
and she gives me a look when I come home late like a disappointed parent. That is so funny.
279
And now I know something very important about you.
280
You are definitely a cat person.
281
Exactly.
282
One small detail and now you know something real about who I am.
283
That is the power of a good introduction.
284
OK, let's put all the steps together.
285
I want to give everyone two or three complete sample introductions they can use right now.
286
Great idea.
287
Let's do a formal one first, like for a job interview or a professional meeting.
288
Perfect.
289
Here is a formal introduction.
290
I'm from the north of England, but I currently live in London.
291
I work as a video editor for a media company.
292
I have about five years of experience.
293
I'm here today because I'm very interested in this opportunity
294
and I believe my skills can be a great help to your team.
295
Beautiful.
296
Clear, confident, professional.
297
No complicated words, just clean, simple sentences.
298
Now let's do a casual one, like at a party or a class.
299
Sure, here's mine.
300
Hey, I'm Lily.
301
I'm originally from the south, but I've lived in the city for about three years.
302
I work in media, mostly with audio content.
303
In my free time, I love hiking
304
cafe recommendations
305
if you have any oh that's really good you ended with
306
an invitation you gave the other person an easy way to keep talking do you know any good cafes Exactly.
307
Always try to end with something that invites a response.
308
A question, a funny detail, something that says, "I want to keep talking with you." And finally, a very short and simple one,
309
perfect for A1 level, for someone just beginning their English journey.
310
Yes, you don't need long sentences.
311
Short is completely fine.
312
Here is a simple version.
313
Hi, my name is Lily.
314
I'm from Brazil.
315
I'm a student.
316
I study English because I want to travel.
317
In my free time, I love music.
318
Nice to meet you.
319
That is beautiful.
320
Every sentence is short, every sentence is clear.
321
Anyone can understand it, and it still tells you so much about who she is.
322
Simple English is powerful English.
323
Don't let anyone tell you different.
324
You know, Lily, I think one of the biggest problems people have with introductions is not the vocabulary, it's the fear.
325
You are so right.
326
The fear of making a mistake, fear of sounding silly.
327
But here's what I really believe.
328
Most people are not listening to your grammar.
329
They are listening to your energy.
330
Are you friendly?
331
Are you warm?
332
Are you interested in them?
333
I met a man last summer at a street market.
334
He was visiting from Italy.
335
His English was very basic.
336
He walked up to me and said, "Hello.
337
I am here.
338
I love this market.
339
Very beautiful. that man immediately.
340
He was so happy, so open, so full of energy.
341
His English wasn't perfect, but his smile was perfect.
342
That is everything.
343
A smile and honest energy is worth more than perfect grammar.
344
I understood everything he wanted to say.
345
He was happy, he was curious, he wanted to connect.
346
And we did.
347
We talked for 20 minutes with very simple English and a lot of officially part of communication.
348
They absolutely are.
349
So if you forget a word, point at it.
350
Use your hands.
351
Smile.
352
People will understand.
353
People will help you.
354
That is a human thing, not just an English thing.
355
And one more tip.
356
Have a few sentences ready.
357
Not a script you read.
358
Just three or four sentences you practice until they feel comfortable.
359
Your name, your city, your job or study, and one thing you like.
360
Practice those until you can say them in in your sleep.
361
I practiced in front of my mirror every morning for two weeks before I started the show.
362
Hi, I'm Lily.
363
I work in English media.
364
I love hiking and good coffee.
365
Did your cat watch you practice?
366
Every day.
367
She sat on the bathroom shelf and stared at me like I was absolutely crazy.
368
Cats are very honest critics.
369
They really are, but it helped.
370
Practice always helps.
371
The more you say and when the real moment comes, you're ready.
372
All right, everyone, it's time for our vocabulary review.
373
We have five key words from today's lesson.
374
Listen carefully and repeat after us word number one introduce the verb introduce means to tell someone your name
375

376

377

378

379
Word number two: background.
380
Your background is your history, where you were from, where you studied, your experience.
381
Let me tell you a little about my background.
382
I grew up in a small town and studied design in the city.
383
Background.
384
Background Background Excellent!
385
Word number three: profession.
386
Your profession is your job or career.
387
My profession is nursing.
388
It means the same as job, but it sounds a little more formal.
389
In everyday conversation, people usually say "job" or "work," but if someone asks "what is your profession" in a formal setting,
390
you now know what they mean.
391
Profession Profession, profession.
392
Great.
393
Word number four.
394

Warum das Sprechen mit diesem Video üben?
Das Einführen von sich selbst auf Englisch ist eine grundlegend wichtige Fähigkeit, die du in vielen Lebensbereichen anwenden kannst. In diesem Video lernst du nicht nur, wie du dich präsentieren kannst, sondern auch, wie du dich in verschiedenen sozialen Situationen ausdrückst. Das üben der Vorstellung mit 'Englisch Shadowing' ermöglicht es dir, die natürliche Sprache und die Betonung zu entdecken. Indem du die Sätze nachsprichst, verbesserst du dein Hörverständnis und deine Sprachfähigkeit.
Die regelmäßige Praxis mit einem solchen Video fördert dein Selbstbewusstsein beim Sprechen und hilft dir, fließend Gespräche zu führen. Du wirst merken, dass das Lernen von Englisch mit YouTube eine unterhaltsame und effektive Methode ist, da du die Möglichkeit hast, den Inhalt jederzeit zu wiederholen.
Grammatik und Ausdrücke im Kontext
In dem Video werden mehrere wichtige Strukturen verwendet, die dir helfen können, deine Vorstellung auf Englisch zu gestalten:
- „Ich bin...“ – Dies ist eine grundlegende Struktur zur Angabe deines Namens oder deiner Herkunft. Zum Beispiel: „Ich bin Tom.“
- „Ich mache …“ – Diese Struktur wird verwendet, um über Hobbys oder Interessen zu sprechen. Beispiel: „Ich mache gerne Sport.“
- „Ich mag …“ – Hiermit drückst du Vorlieben oder Abneigungen aus. Du könntest sagen: „Ich mag Pizza.“
- „Ich komme aus …“ – Diese Struktur ist nötig, um deinen Wohnort zu benennen: „Ich komme aus Deutschland.“
- „Ich habe …“ – Diese grammatische Form kann verwendet werden, um über Erlebnisse zu sprechen: „Ich habe ein neues Hobby begonnen.“
Diese Ausdrücke sind nützlich, um in Gesprächen, sei es im Alltag oder im beruflichen Umfeld, einen guten Eindruck zu hinterlassen. Nutze 'shadowspeak', um diese Strukturen zu üben und deine Fähigkeiten zur 'Englischen Aussprache verbessern'.
Häufige Ausspracheschwierigkeiten
Beim Sprechen gibt es bestimmte Wörter oder Phrasen, die oft herausfordernd sein können. Im Video wird das Wort „cooking“ mehrmals verwendet, das leicht falsch betont werden kann. Achte auf die korrekte Betonung: es wird wie „kuh-king“ ausgesprochen. Auch „pizza“ hat eine besondere Ausprache, die oft verzweifelt wird. Achte darauf, das „z“ klar auszusprechen, um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden.
Durch das regelmäßige Üben, insbesondere durch das Nachsprechen von Sätzen im Rahmen des 'Englisch lernen mit YouTube', kannst du deine Selbstsicherheit im Sprechen erhöhen und typische Fehler vermeiden. Nutze 'shadowspeaks', um deine Aussprache in realistischen Situationen abwechslungsreich zu trainieren.

| Past Continuous was/were + -ing – eine Handlung, die zu einem Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit im Gange war | were you doing · was watching · were making |
| Superlativ the -est / the most … – das Höchste oder Niedrigste einer Gruppe | the most useful · the most beautiful · the most important |
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
