Pratique du Shadowing: HOW TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN ENGLISH | 3 SIMPLE STEPS FOR SELF INTRODUCTION IN ENGLISH - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

Hey, have you ever been in a situation where someone asked you to introduce yourself in English and you felt stuck?

Maybe the words didn't come to you.

Maybe you didn't know what to tell them about yourself.

Well, if you answered yes to either of those questions, today's lesson is for you because I'm going to give you three simple steps.

That's right.

One, two, three, three simple steps to help you master your English introduction.

It's so simple.

I'm teacher Tiffany.

Let's jump right in.

All right.

So there are three simple steps and we're going to start by looking at the first step.

The first step is to tell them the type of person you are.

Now the focus is your character and personality.

And let me explain this a little bit more.

You see, when you're going to an interview, the first thing they're going to ask you to do, of course, is to introduce yourself.

But you have to remember, usually those individuals have already looked at your CV.

They've already seen your resume.

So it's not the time for you to tell them, I went to this school.

I have this degree.

No, instead they want to know more about you as a person.

So the first step, the first part of your introduction is telling them who you are as a person.

Now you do that in two parts.

The first part is your character.

This helps them get a better understanding of your core values.

In other words, the things that are important to you.

That's right.

That means you need to think about this.

Hey, what's important to you?

Who are you as an individual?

This is the first portion.

Now, after you've explained your character, you're going to also talk about your personality.

This helps them get a better understanding of how you will blend with the current individuals at their company.

And this is something that I loved explaining to my students when I was in South Korea, because it's an aspect of Western culture that many times students,

maybe like you don't realize or understand the importance of.

You see in Western culture, it's all about, you know, being with the group.

Of course you want to be an individual,

but you also want to blend with the group in a way that makes things interesting, creates harmony.

So when you first come to the interview, you're starting off by telling them, Hey, these are my values.

And also this is my personality.

So as you all know, I'm a very happy person.

I'm very outgoing and I love being around people too.

You can tell that.

And actually the first video you saw from me, you assess that without even realizing it.

Wow.

Teacher Tiffany seems to be a very happy person.

Something about her seems really genuine.

You started off by making an assessment of me based on my character and my personality, even without you realizing it.

That's why this is the most important part to start off with for your introduction.

So let's see what this looks like.

Okay.

We have an example from a young lady.

All right.

Here's the example again.

Remember her character and personality.

Here she goes.

Hello.

My name is Samantha Smith.

I am a very diligent and honest person.

I also have a very outgoing and friendly personality.

Immediately.

She starts off by telling something about herself, her character and her personality.

Now there's a word in here that I want to practice with you for pronunciation.

Underline and bolded diligent after me diligent.

Excellent.

Again, diligent.

Nice.

Last time diligent.

Excellent.

Now I'm also a very diligent person, but what does this word mean?

Now the word diligent just means having or showing care and conscientiousness in one's work or duties.

Again, giving 110% when you work, we say you are a diligent person.

Now we're seeing that Samantha started off her introduction in an amazing way.

We immediately know that her character is wow.

She's very diligent and her personality.

She said she's outgoing and friendly.

So immediately in the mind of the interviewer, she would probably work well with our group.

Starting off the introduction again, step one, telling the type of person you are.

All right.

Now let's go to step number two.

Another important step, your experience briefly.

Here we go.

The focus is describing a specific experience.

Now, again, this is something that is very unique about an introduction in English.

Maybe you've never heard this before.

After you've described yourself, you've given information about your character and your personality.

You then need to talk about an experience.

Now I'm going to explain, explain how to pick a specific experience,

but this is very important and it goes back to Western culture and to the English language.

Many times when you're speaking in English, you think it's about your words and the grammar, but actually it's about your ability to express yourself

and also talk about your experiences in the way that a person listening to you can understand.

The same is true for your introduction.

So your experience briefly part two, we have again, step two also has two parts.

First related to the interview.

Again, this shows that you have taken the time to do some research about the position and the company.

So you're not going to tell an experience or a story that has nothing to do with your job.

You want to make sure the experience you choose relates to the job you're trying to get now, part two of this step is right here.

Life changing experience.

This shows that you are able to think logically about your life

and about business because you have to make a connection again, giving a good introduction in English.

100

It's not about the words you use.

101

It's about the way you organize your ideas and your thoughts.

102

So again, in step two, you're talking about your experience as it relates to the job you're trying to get.

103

And again, you're saying how this experience connects to your job or the job you want to get.

104

And it shows the person listening to you, the interviewer that you know how to think logically,

105

that you can connect different experiences in your life and it makes you look like a better candidate.

106

And your introduction seems amazing.

107

Now I want to pause real quick.

108

Remember I told you at the beginning that there's a special event that I've created for you.

109

You see, I'm teaching you how to give a great introduction in English and we have one more step, but there are so many different things you need to learn to give a good introduction

110

and to pass an English interview and to even do well in a business environment.

111

And that's exactly why the Business English Week was created.

118

to help you excel in your career and to take your career to the next level.

119

This lesson that I'm teaching you today about giving a good introduction and using these three simple steps is just the beginning.

120

126

All right.

127

So let's keep going on now again with step two.

128

I explained talking about your experience briefly.

129

We have related to the interview and a life changing experience.

130

So let's see an example again, state how it relates to your interview plus your life changing experience.

131

Here we go.

132

I have traveled all over the world, but my favorite country is South Korea.

133

During my time there, I learned many things about their culture and language.

134

The main thing I learned was the importance of embracing and respecting other cultures.

135

As a global company, I believe that this is a philosophy you also value.

136

This is amazing.

137

Now, if I was interviewing anyone and they gave this part of their interview introduction, I would be amazed.

138

Why?

139

Because they started talking about their experience in South Korea.

140

Again, I was in South Korea, but this is the example that's being given.

141

And it was very interesting.

142

They loved it.

143

And they learned a lot about cultures.

144

And then immediately a connection was made to the position they're trying to get.

145

Oh, as a global company, I believe you also value respecting other cultures.

146

Immediately the interviewer realizes, wow, this person has a good character, a good personality, step one,

147

and step two has had some life experiences that we can benefit from at this company.

148

This is amazing.

149

Now in the midst of the answer, there was a word that I want to go over with you really quickly.

150

It was embracing.

151

So after me embracing, excellent.

152

Again, embracing good last time.

153

Embracing good job.

154

Now the word embracing again, it came out in the response.

155

It just means to accept or support a belief, a theory or change willingly and enthusiastically.

156

So the person again in their introduction is giving

157

so much information about who they are as an individual

158

and their experiences and how their experiences have made them a better individual prepared to get this job right now.

159

That was just step two.

160

So what about step three?

161

This introduction is already looking amazing.

162

Now, step three of a good introduction in English is life philosophy.

163

So here we go.

164

Now your focus is your philosophy and how it developed.

165

Again, this is why I am encouraging you as you prepare your introduction, you need to make sure you have followed these three steps.

166

Think about your ideas, not just about the words, not just about the English grammar.

167

Think about your ideas.

168

What do you believe in?

169

What do you hold true?

170

What do you hold as being important?

171

Your philosophy and how it developed.

172

Now there are three parts to this one.

173

The first part is the explanation.

174

You see the goal is to give more details about the way you think

175

and the way you connect with others around you.

176

Then you're going to talk about how it developed.

177

This helps them understand the process you went through to come to the current ideas you value.

178

Now I want to emphasize this does not mean that your introduction needs to be 15 minutes.

179

No, the example that we're looking at can be done in two minutes,

180

but it includes all three steps and that is why it's so good.

181

So when you're at this third step about your philosophy, your life philosophy, philosophy, don't stress about speaking for a long period of time.

182

No, you need to condense and make sure your answer is concise and brief.

183

This is what shows that you're giving a good introduction and that you're fluent.

184

So again, you're talking about the past, how it developed.

185

And part three is its effect on your life.

186

This helps them, the person listening to you,

187

the interviewer, Understand how your thoughts affect your actions and also how you personally look at life,

188

whether pessimistically or optimistically.

189

So again, this is so important for you to organize this section.

190

This step is very important.

191

Your life philosophy.

192

So let's see how the individual in our example actually explained her philosophy.

193

Here we go.

194

Here's the example again, state what it is, how it can help you at the company and connect it to your future.

195

Here we go.

196

My personal life philosophy is we all grow when we respect and learn from each other.

197

I developed this philosophy after working with people from various cultures and it has completely changed my life.

198

Look how fast she was able to say her answer, give her answer, right?

199

She was able to really explain her life philosophy in a clear way so that even we understood right now,

200

there was something at the very end that she said, changed my life.

201

Let me explain what this means.

202

This means to make a huge difference or a big difference, or to have a big impact on one's life.

203

So this individual was able to wrap up her introduction and amazing introduction in English with telling her life philosophy.

204

So she followed the three steps again.

205

Step one being telling the type of person you are talking about your character and your personality.

206

Step number two, talking about your experience, connecting it to the job and how it would help you.

207

And then finally, step three, your life philosophy.

208

Listen, if you want to give a good introduction in English, all you have to do is follow these three simple steps.

209

I hope you enjoyed this lesson.

210

Remember this is not the end.

211

If you want to continue learning more about passing English interviews and also excelling in the business environment.

212

As a student, you need help with business English.

213

Trust me, you need to join us for the business English week.

219

Remember study hard.

220

You can achieve all of your goals.

221

I will see you in next week's lesson, but as always remember to speak English.

222

You still there?

223

You know what time it is.

224

It's story time.

225

Hey, I said it's story time.

226

All right.

227

So today's story time actually popped in my head while I was teaching you the lesson.

228

That's right.

229

I had another story all prepared, but as I was teaching you step number two about life experiences, another experience popped in my head.

230

So I said, you know what?

231

Let me tell them about experience so

232

this happened when i still lived in south korea

233

and my friends came to visit me now i told you before

234

that i was a very fearless child like i was very adventurous i didn't have any fear

235

but you know as you get older fear kind of creeps in

236

and you get a little bit scared but this is

237

when my friends came to visit me

238

and we went to a mountain i've talked about this mountain before sorak sun Sorak Mountain, beautiful mountain in South Korea, my favorite mountain in South Korea,

239

but it takes a lot to hike to the top.

240

However, there's a different area where you can ride a cable car to the top and you can take pictures.

241

And there are usually lots of people and like big groups there.

242

So my friends and I was myself and three friends.

243

So four of us, we decided to go via the cable car, right?

244

So we went to the cable car, we went to the top and we were at almost the top,

245

but you still had to climb up maybe about 10 or 15 minutes to get to the very top.

246

And the scenery was beautiful.

247

Like it was breathtaking.

248

So I love hiking.

249

Now we got to this midpoint and it was my best friend from childhood.

250

That was one of the friends that came there.

251

So I'm standing with the three of them.

252

I'm like, Hey guys, let's go to the very top so we can get some pictures.

253

I had done it before, but I wanted to do it again because my friends were there and I didn't really get a response.

254

So I turned back and I said, Hey guys, let's go to the top.

255

And my best friend from grade school looked at me and said,

256

uh, uh, uh, and it caught me off guard because literally there was no fear in me at all.

257

And I looked at her and I said, why?

258

She was like, Tiff, have you seen this mountain?

259

And I'm like, yeah, I've been here many times.

260

She's like, I'm not climbing up there.

261

I'm not going any higher.

262

And it's like at that moment it clicked like, oh, I guess we really are high.

263

I said, okay, well, I'll be right back.

264

And I went by myself because the other two friends, they were gone.

265

They said, no, we're not doing that.

266

So I had my camera.

267

I wanted a picture.

268

So I had to climb like on my hands and knees as well to get to the top portion.

269

But there were other people up there, other Koreans.

270

So I got to the part and I got to one part and it started getting and really narrow.

271

And that's when in my mind I said, huh, this is a little bit dangerous, but I kept going.

272

I really wasn't scared.

273

So I got to the very, very top and the higher I went, the less people I saw.

274

And right when I was about to get to the very top, it was me by myself.

275

So I got to the part and I wanted to take a picture, but it was windy.

276

And I may have mentioned this to you all before.

277

So the wind was blowing, but I wanted the picture.

278

So the area, I mean, it was small.

279

It was a really small area.

280

And I looked and there was a couple like right below where I wanted to stand.

281

So I looked at them and I spoke to them in Korean.

282

I was like, hi, I'd like to see a picture.

283

Would you mind helping me?

284

And they looked at me and they were like, are you okay?

285

And I was like, yeah, I'm fine.

286

They were like, you're not scared?

287

And I was like, no. Now let me explain again.

288

Literally to my right, thousands of feet dropped.

289

Like it was, it was the side of the mountain.

290

Literally like you just dropped.

291

If I missed a step, I was gone.

292

but I wanted the picture and I really didn't feel any fear.

293

So I gave them my camera and they were like, okay.

294

So I stood up and I, cause the whole time I was holding onto a rock

295

and I stood up and put my hands on my hips to take the picture.

296

The moment I put my hands on my hips, inside of my mind I said, Tiff, you may want to be careful because the wind was blowing so I said,

297

okay, let's take the picture quickly.

298

So they snapped it really quickly.

299

I grabbed the camera and then I made my way down.

300

All my way down, I was talking to myself and I said, wow, that really could have ended a different way.

301

That may not have been the safest situation.

302

Again, they were there as well, but I was realizing even more like, I'm not scared of these situations.

303

Now, what's the point?

304

You see, we're talking about experiences.

305

How could I use this experience in an introduction for a job interview?

306

You see, I was up there and I had a goal and I wanted to achieve that goal.

307

Now, I was safe.

308

I was careful.

309

I wasn't, you know, being unsafe when I was walking and going to the top of the mountain.

310

But when I got there, even though those around me didn't want to follow me, I said, it's okay.

311

I have a goal that I want to achieve and I'm going to keep going forward.

312

So in an interview, I could say, no matter what's going on around me, if there's something that needs to be done or achieved,

313

I'll give 110% to achieve that goal or to complete a task.

314

So you see how I connected my life experience to something

315

that an interviewer would be impressed with and would also see as a quality they'd want in an employee.

316

That's the same thing you can do.

317

Now, again, I'm still sometimes baffled by, okay, I'm not really scared of things, but it's okay.

318

So maybe you also are fearless in certain situations when it comes to adventure and like hiking and stuff.

319

I really am not scared of heights or things like that.

320

I love hiking and I'm looking forward to going back to hiking and traveling more after the whole COVID situation.

321

So hopefully you enjoyed the story.

322

Let me know if you have a, an interesting story as well about hiking in the comment section.

323

Remember once again, don't forget to sign up for the business English week, registered totally for free and join teacher,

324

Julie and I, we can't wait to see you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

325

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
