Hello everyone!
2
Welcome to the very first official episode of the Jay and Mae English Podcast.
3
I'm Mr. Jay.
4
And I'm Mae.
5
We are so excited to finally start this journey with all of you.
6
Our goal is simple, to help you speak English naturally and confidently.
7
That's right, Mae.
8
And for our first episode,
9
we wanted to talk about the very first thing you do when you meet someone.
10
Greetings.
11
Oh, this is a big one, Mr. J.
12
When I first started learning English,
13
the only thing I knew was, hello, how are you?
14
I'm fine, thank you.
15
And you?
16
It felt like a robot talking.
17
Exactly.
18
And that's the problem with textbook English.
19
It's grammatically correct, but in real life,
20
native speakers rarely use that exact script.
21
It can sound a bit too formal or even a little stiff.
22
So what should we say instead?
23
If I'm meeting a friend,
24
how are you feels a bit too serious sometimes.
25
You're right.
26
If you're seeing a friend or a colleague you know well,
27
we use casual greetings.
28
One of the most common ones is, how's it going?
29
How's it going?
30
I hear that in movies all the time,
31
but how do I answer that?
32
Do I say I am going well?
33
Good question.
34
No, you wouldn't say I am going well.
35
You can just say good,
36
pretty good, or not bad.
37
It's just a way of saying you're doing okay.
38
Pretty good.
39
I like that.
40
It sounds much more relaxed.
41
What about what's up?
42
I'm always afraid to use that one because I never know the right answer.
43
What's up is very common among younger people or close friends.
44
It basically means what is happening in your life right now.
45
So the most common answer is actually not much or nothing much.
46
Wait, so if someone asks what's up I should say not much,
47
even if I'm busy?
48
Usually, yes.
49
It's just a greeting.
50
You say, not much, and then you can start a real conversation.
51
It's like saying hi back to them.
52
That makes sense.
53
OK, so we have, how's it going,
54
and what's up for friends.
55
But what if I'm at the office or meeting a boss?
56
I probably shouldn't say what's up to my manager, right?
57
Probably not, unless you have a very casual boss.
58
For a professional setting, you can use how are you doing?
59
Notice the doing at the end.
60
It's slightly more formal than how's it going,
61
but friendlier than a simple how are you.
62
How are you doing?
63
Okay, I'll remember that.
64
And Mr. J, what about when we haven't seen someone for a long time?
65
Ah, for that, we use long time no see or it's been a while.
66
And a great follow-up question is how have you been?
67
How have you been?
68
That's perfect.
69
It shows that I care about what happened since the last time we met.
70
Precisely.
71
Now, Mae, let's talk about the mistake many learners make when replying.
72
Most people just say, fine.
73
Is fine bad?
74
It's not bad, but sometimes fine can sound like you are unhappy or even a bit annoyed.
75
If you want to sound positive,
76
try saying, I'm doing great or things are going well.
77
Oh, I see.
78
Tone of voice matters too.
79
If I say I'm fine with a flat voice,
80
people might think I'm having a bad day.
81
Exactly.
82
English is a very expressive language.
83
Your energy tells as much of the story as your words do.
84
This is so helpful, Mr. J.
85
So to recap for our listeners,
86
use how's it going or what's up for friends,
87
how are you doing for work,
88
and how have you been for people you haven't seen in a while.
89
Perfect summary, Mae.
90
And remember, the goal isn't to be perfect, it's to be natural.
91
Don't be afraid to try these out next time you meet someone.
92
Thank you so much for listening to our first episode.
93
We would love to hear from you.
94

97

98
Goodbye everyone.

इस पाठ के बारे में

इस पाठ में, आप रोज़मर्रा की बातचीत में अधिक स्वाभाविक और आत्मविश्वास से अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करेंगे। हम उन सामान्य अभिवादन और वाक्यों पर ध्यान केंद्रित करेंगे, जो आप दोस्तों या करीबी जानकारों से मिलते समय उपयोग कर सकते हैं। इसके साथ ही, आप सीखेंगे कि कैसे इन अभिवादनों का सही अर्थ निकाला जाए, ताकि आपकी बातचीत अधिक आत्मीय और आरामदायक हो सके।

मुख्य शब्दावली और वाक्यांश

  • कैसे हो? (How's it going?)
  • सब कुछ ठीक है? (I'm fine, thank you.)
  • क्या चल रहा है? (What's up?)
  • खुश हूँ, धन्यवाद। (Good, thanks.)
  • कुछ खास नहीं। (Not much.)
  • ठीक-ठाक। (Pretty good.)

अभ्यास टिप्स

अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करते समय, shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करें। इस वीडियो में बातचीत का प्रवाह और टोन एकदम स्वाभाविक है। जब आप सुनते हैं, तो shadowspeak विधि का पालन करते हुए, बोलने वाले के साथ समवर्ती हो जाएँ। वीडियो को धीमी गति से सुनें और पहले उनकी वाचन शैली के अनुरूप बोलने का प्रयास करें।

जब आप अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग कर रहे हों, तो हर अभिवादन और प्रतिक्रिया को पुनरुत्पादित करने का प्रयास करें। इसकी शुरुआत ऐसे करें:

  • पहले केवल सुनें और समझें कि वे कैसे अभिवादन करते हैं।
  • फिर, धीरे-धीरे उनकी आवाज़ में जोड़ें, जैसे कि आप उस स्थिति में उनके साथ हैं।
  • यह सुनिश्चित करें कि आप शब्दों के उच्चारण और लहजे का ध्यान रखें।

इस तरह से अभ्यास करते हुए, आप न केवल बातचीत के लिए आवश्यक अभिवादन सीखेंगे बल्कि अंग्रेजी में अधिक आत्मविश्वास और स्वाभाविकता भी हासिल करेंगे।

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।
