Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Chill English Channel, where learning English is easy, fun, and friendly.

I'm Sophia.

And I'm Jake.

Hey, Sophia.

How are you today?

I'm doing great.

Thank you.

I'm so happy to be here with all our amazing listeners.

How about you?

I'm feeling fantastic, too.

It's always a good day when we get to talk about English and help people feel more confident.

That's so true.

And Jake, today's topic is really useful, right?

Oh, yes.

Today we're talking about how to introduce yourself in English.

This is something we all need to do in different situations — at school, work, when traveling, or just meeting new people.

Absolutely.

But sometimes even simple introductions can feel scary in a new language.

That's why we're here to make it simple and fun.

Before we start, friends, please remember to like this episode, subscribe to our channel, and share it with someone who is learning English.

Your support really helps us.

Yes, thank you so much.

Now let's get started.

Jake, what's the first thing someone should say when introducing themselves?

The first thing is always your name.

You can say, Hi, my name's Jake, or Hello, I'm Jake.

Easy and clear.

Then you can say where you're from.

I'm from London, or I come from a small town in Canada.

Yes, this is a great start.

Name and country or city.

Then you can add one more detail, like what you do or a hobby you like.

For example, I'm a student.

I work in a hospital.

I like reading books.

That's the beginner-friendly version, short and sweet.

Don't worry about being perfect, just say a few clear sentences. And smile.

Smiling makes a big difference when you speak.

It helps you feel relaxed and look confident, too.

OK, friends.

In the next part, we'll talk about a simple plan to make your introduction sound more complete and natural.

Stay with us.

Alright, Sophia.

In the last part, we gave a basic introduction.

Now, let's help our listeners sound a bit more complete when they introduce themselves.

Yes, we have a simple plan that works in many situations.

We call it present, past, future.

Exactly.

First, talk about your present.

Say your name, what you do, or what you study.

For example, my name is Sophia.

I'm an English teacher.

I love helping people learn.

Perfect.

Next, talk about your past.

What did you do before?

What did you study?

Where did you grow up?

Like this.

I studied English literature at university.

Before teaching, I worked in a bookstore.

Great!

And finally, the future.

What are your goals?

What do you want to do?

I want to create more fun English lessons and travel to different countries.

So the full version sounds like this.

My name is Sophia.

I'm an English teacher.

I studied English literature and worked in a bookstore.

Now I want to create more fun English lessons and travel.

That's a great full answer.

It tells a small story.

you are, what you've done, and what you want to do.

And it's perfect for formal situations like school, meetings, or even job interviews.

Yes, and it's still simple enough for beginners if you practice it step by step.

Friends, try this now.

Think of your present, past, and future.

Can you say one sentence for each?

the episode, write your answers, then say them out loud.

Practice really helps.

In the next part, we'll show you how to make an even simpler version for casual or beginner-level conversations.

Okay, Jake, what if someone is just starting to learn English?

Maybe they're nervous and don't want to say too much.

Great question.

For beginners, we have a very simple and safe way to introduce yourself.

It's short, clear, and easy to remember.

Yes.

The goal is not to say everything.

The goal is to say something with confidence.

So, here's the plan.

One, say your name.

2. Say where you're from.

3. Say one thing you like.

That's it.

Just three short parts.

For example, my name is Sophia.

I'm from Italy.

I like cooking.

100

Or, I'm Jake.

101

I come from Canada.

102

I enjoy playing football.

103

It's simple, right?

104

And it still helps people get to know you a little.

105

Exactly.

106

And for people who feel shy, this version is perfect.

107

You don't need to talk too much.

108

Just speak clearly and smile.

109

Smiling is important.

110

It makes you feel better and shows you are friendly.

111

Here's another example.

112

My name is Leela.

113

I'm from Brazil.

114

I love music.

115

You can practice this kind of introduction many times.

116

Try saying it in front of a mirror or recording yourself.

117

The more you practice, the more natural it will feel, even if it's just one or two lines.

118

And friends, remember, it's okay to make mistakes.

119

What matters is trying and practicing.

120

In the next part, we'll talk about job interviews, how to introduce yourself in a more professional way.

121

All right, Jake.

122

Now let's talk about a very important situation, job interviews.

123

Yes, this is where tell me about yourself is almost always the first question, and it's a big one.

124

But don't worry.

125

We're going to make it simple.

126

In job interviews, the goal is to show that you are a good fit for the job.

127

Right.

128

You don't need to tell your life story.

129

Just focus on your skills, your experience, and what makes you a good choice for the job.

130

So again, we use present, past, and future, but now we connect it to the job.

131

For example, hi, my name is Jake.

132

I've worked in customer service for three years.

133

I enjoy helping people and solving problems.

134

I'm looking for a new role where I can grow my skills and support a great team." That's a strong answer.

135

It's short, professional, and focused on what the company wants.

136

Yes.

137

And you should always read the job description before the interview.

138

Think about what they're looking for.

139

Then choose one or two things you are good at that match the job, like computers, organization, or teamwork.

140

Here's another example.

141

My name is Sophia.

142

I studied accounting and worked as a bookkeeper for two years.

143

I'm very organized and careful with details.

144

I hope to join your team and help manage financial reports.

145

That's perfect.

146

It shows your experience and what you want to do next.

147

Coming up next, we'll talk about how to introduce yourself when meeting new people in casual situations.

148

Now let's talk about everyday situations, like meeting someone new at a party, a class, or even on vacation.

149

Yes, these moments are more relaxed.

150

You don't need to sound formal.

151

You just want to sound friendly.

152

In casual conversations, your introduction can be fun and personal.

153

You can talk about what you enjoy or something interesting about you.

154

For example, Hey, I'm Jake.

155

I love hiking on weekends and trying new coffee shops.

156

Or, Hi, I'm Sophia.

157

I'm really into photography.

158

I love taking nature photos.

159

You can also ask a question after your introduction.

160

This helps start a real conversation.

161

Exactly.

162

Try saying, I love playing the piano.

163

What about you?

164

Do you play any instruments?

165

This makes it a two-way conversation, not just you talking.

166

It shows interest in the other person.

167

And don't be afraid to share a small fun fact, like, I can juggle.

168

Or, I have a dog that sings when I play music.

169

That makes you more memorable.

170

People enjoy small surprises like that.

171

Let's try one full example.

172

Hi, I'm Sophia.

173

I enjoy baking cakes on the weekend.

174

I once made a cake that looked like a cat.

175

What about you?

176

Do you like baking?

177

That's a great way to connect and keep the conversation going.

178

Up next, we'll share tips for people who feel shy and nervous when introducing themselves in English.

179

Sophia, not everyone feels confident when speaking English, especially when introducing themselves.

180

What can we say to help them?

181

That's a great point, Jake.

182

Many people feel shy at first, and that's completely normal.

183

The key is to start small and practice often.

184

Yes.

185

Start with just one or two sentences.

186

Say your name, where you're from, and one thing you like.

187

And repeat those sentences every day.

188

Say them to yourself in the mirror.

189

Say them out loud while walking.

190

The more you repeat, the easier it gets.

191

Also, don't try to be perfect.

192

Perfection is not the goal.

193

Communication is.

194

Exactly.

195

Even native speakers make mistakes sometimes.

196

It's okay.

197

Mistakes mean you're learning.

198

You could also write down your introduction and read it out loud.

199

Then try saying it without looking.

200

with a friend or teacher if you can.

201

Or record your voice and listen to your pronunciation.

202

And remember, most people are patient and kind.

203

They're happy to hear you try, even if you make a few mistakes.

204

That's right.

205

Don't let fear stop you.

206

Your English will improve as you use it more.

207

In the final part, we'll give you some real examples and talk about common mistakes to avoid when introducing yourself.

208

Welcome back.

209

Now it's time to review everything we've learned and give you some real examples.

210

Yes, and we'll also talk about some common mistakes people make when introducing themselves in English.

211

Let's start with examples.

212

Jake, can you give us a basic one?

213

Sure.

214

My name is Jake.

215

I'm from Canada.

216

I enjoy playing football and reading science books.

217

Nice and simple.

218

Now here's a more complete one, using present, past, and future.

219

I'm Sophia.

220

I'm an English teacher.

221

I studied literature at university and worked in a library.

222

I want to create more English lessons and help learners around the world.

223

That's clear and professional.

224

Now let's look at a few mistakes learners should avoid.

225

Mistake number one, talking too much.

226

Don't tell your whole life story.

227

Keep it short and clear.

228

Mistake number two, not practicing.

229

If you don't practice, you might forget what to say when someone asks you.

230

Mistake number three, being too negative.

231

Don't talk badly about yourself or your job.

232

Stay positive.

233

Mistake number four, sharing too much personal or private information.

234

Keep your introduction friendly but safe.

235

And mistake number five, not thinking about the situation.

236

Your introduction at a party is different from a job interview.

237

Adjust your answer.

238

Great advice, Sophia.

239

Remember, friends, introducing yourself is a skill.

240

And like all skills, it gets better with practice.

241

Yes.

242

Start with something simple.

243

repeat it often, and grow from there.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
