Hey guys, welcome to Lingua Marina.

Today we're going to talk about introductions.

I know they can be very difficult.

I recently attended a conference where everybody asked me, what do you do?

Where are you from?

Who are you?

Basically, today we're going to learn some phrases that are going to help you in this situation.

So please watch this video up to the very end

because we're not only going to go through phrases that you can use, we're also going to come up with little monologues

that you can use later on

and as a language learner what I've realized in the past

you know 20 years since I've started learning English I've realized

that memorizing certain templates and certain structures actually helps your brain a lot in stressful situations.

So the next time you interact with native speakers

and they ask you something you will have a template in your head that you can use right away.

So let's dive into introductions in English.

Now one of the things that you have to remember is that we typically divide our conversations into three different groups.

The first group is informal conversations.

Basically, you're chatting with your friend.

The second group, semi -formal.

And here, you know, it depends on where you are.

But for example, in the US, when I go to a creator's conference and meet people who represent brands or other creators,

I think it's semi -formal because we're not 100 % friends right away, but we're not too formal and when we talk about formal situations basically

when you interact with government officials or when you are interviewing for a job

so we're gonna go through phrases for all of these situations

so when you need to introduce yourself first thing is it a formal situation such as a business meeting

or is it an informal situation like a party back to the structure

we start the introduction with a greeting let's look at some phrases

that we might use in more formal situations greeting at the beginning of formal events for example business meetings

or interviews or formal dinners or even class use greetings like hello good morning good afternoon

and good evening

if it's an interview you can say good morning thank you for considering me for this role

then we have semi -formal greetings and this is where your mind can be free.

You can say hi there.

This is a slightly less formal way to say hello

but still more appropriate than just saying hey when you talk to your co -workers who you don't know very well.

Or you can just say morning.

It's a more casual way of saying good morning.

Informal greetings.

Now hi is obviously the most popular.

Then you can say hey, heya, hey there, what's up is my favorite how's it going how you're doing

it's common in more informal language to leave out small grammar

words in greetings how are you doing often changes to how you doing

which is more informal hey everyone i'm thrilled to join

this community now let's talk about general information of course the first thing

you want to talk about is your name

so you can say pleased to meet you my name is marina

or just i'm marina you can also say i don't think we've met may i introduce myself

or hello it's a pleasure to meet you i'm marina informal now it's funny

so a lot of people in the u .s know me as silicon valley girl

so sometimes i introduce myself it's kind of funny i tell people i'm silicon valley girl

and they're like oh yes i've seen your videos

but then i tell them you can call me marina this is my actual name

so if you have a nickname online and people might know you uh buy

that nickname feel free to use it it's kind of funny

that i have three personalities and sometimes when i realize

that the environment is very international i can say i'm lingua marina people like oh yay lingua marina

and some people still think my name is lingua

and i'm like no my name is marina

so you can call me marina i'm silicon valley girl but uh my friends call me Marina.

By the way, in North America, people often use first names right from the start and the mood is very relaxed.

This really surprised me when I first came to the US and, you know, was talking to formal venture investors and I'm like, yeah, I'm Sam.

I'm like, okay, mister.

No, no, no, Sam.

So everything is really informal and really relaxed.

That doesn't mean that people don't take this meeting seriously.

They do.

It's just the nature of formal and business communication in the US is very friendly.

In other places though, they might be more formal and use titles and last names until they get to know you better.

In the USA, there's an emphasis on personal space and this can affect greetings.

A firm handshake is standard, but respecting personal space is important.

Another fun story, I've recently met a very important businessman from India in the US and again, I'm used to this culture now,

so I did a firm handshake.

He was like, no. What you need to do is give me a hand like this, and I'm going to shake it gently.

Don't ever do the formal American handshake with Indians, right?

Because in India, the culture is completely different.

So I want you to understand that there are cultural differences, but don't think of them too much.

You will basically understand what's going on once you are in the situation.

And that Indian businessman was really kind to just explain everything to me.

And when I said goodbye, I made sure that I did it the correct way

and we kind of laughed at it i think it was pretty cool

but again when i first came to the u .s

and people were shaking my hand

and men were shaking my hand in a strong manner

i was like wow some people actually say it's a power move

so the stronger the handshake is uh the more energy

that person has so you know it's up to you what you're gonna do

but remember that about the u .s and other cultures

and other cultures might stand closer

or greet each other with a kiss on the cheek and

that happens in france and they do two kisses on both cheeks

and i just came back from uh france where people were doing

that to me all the time even people who i met for the first time

and again for me it was like you know in the us will never do

that so the first couple times i was a little bit nervous like what's going on

but then again i got used to it this is this country everybody kisses each other

that's fine then you can talk about your birthplace

and current location i was born

and raised in st petersburg russia i come from st petersburg i'm originally from st petersburg

100

but now i'm based in california that's basically what i do you know was born

101

and raised in st petersburg have been living in the u .s since um 2015

102

or i've been living in the u .s for 10 years

103

now informal you can say i'm in your nationality like i'm russian i'm originally from Russia,

104

but I've been living in the US for the past nine years.

105

St. Petersburg, Russia is my hometown.

106

108

109

You may have already noticed that when talking about ourselves,

110

we're using a lot of different tenses and it's very important to know all of them to interact freely in English.

111

But if you're struggling with tenses, I have a product that will help.

122

or my formal position is president at lingua marina

123

124

and lingua marina is basically a company above all of my channels

125

but if you're not an entrepreneur

126

and you're working for a company you can say i work for google in the marketing department

127

or you can mention a general idea i work in sales my speciality is in sales or

128

if you have your own business you can say i'm self -employed

129

130

that will be i work for myself or

131

if you're unemployed right now you could say I'm unemployed nobody really I don't know it's totally okay to use that phrase

132

but I've never heard people say I'm unemployed I've heard people saying

133

135

151

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.
