1
Hello, everyone.
2
Welcome back to the channel Simply Real English,
3
the podcast where we help you speak English naturally and with total confidence.
4
I'm your host, Leo.
5
Today, we are tackling a question that makes almost everyone nervous.
6
Tell me about yourself.
7
To help us master this,
8
I am joined today by a very special guest.
9
She is an expert English communication coach who has helped thousands of students move from nervous to fluent.
10
Please welcome to the show, Sarah.
11
Hi, Leo.
12
Thank you so much for that lovely introduction.
13
It is wonderful to be here.
14
We're glad to have you, Sarah.
15
Before we start, I have to ask,
16
how are you feeling today?
17
I'm doing great, Leo.
18
I'm really excited to be here.
19
It's a beautiful sunny day,
20
and I've been looking forward to sharing these tips with your audience.
21
How about you?
22
How's your morning going?
23
I'm feeling very energized.
24
I had a great cup of coffee,
25
and I'm ready to dive into today's topic.
26
That's the spirit.
27
You know, Leo, even I used to get nervous introducing myself when I was younger,
28
so I know exactly how our listeners feel.
29
That makes me feel much better.
30
You know, I hear from our listeners every day that they feel stuck when they have to introduce themselves.
31
They know the words, but they don't feel…confident.
32
That's exactly right, Leo.
33
Most students treat an introduction like a grammar test,
34
but an introduction is actually a bridge.
35
It's how you connect with a new person.
36
Today, I want to teach your listeners how to do it with E-A-S-E.
37
That's E-A-S-E.
38
Ease?
39
I like that.
40
It sounds relaxing.
41
Exactly.
42
We want you to feel cool, calm, and collected.
43
We'll cover your name, your location,
44
your family, and your fun fact.
45
And listeners, if you have a notebook, grab it now.
46
We're going to practice together.
47
Before we dive in, I have a small favor to ask.
48
If you are enjoying our podcast,
49
please like this video and subscribe to the Simply Real English channel.
50
It really helps us make more videos for you.
51
Let's start with the basics.
52
Your name.
53
Most students say, I am...
54
Is that wrong?
55
It's not wrong, but it's a bit stiff.
56
To sound more natural, use a contraction.
57
Say, I'm Sarah.
58
I'm Leo.
59
It sounds much friendlier.
60
Right.
61
Now, here is a pro tip.
62
If your name is hard to pronounce, give people a bridge.
63
Say, my name is James Marsden,
64
but you can call me James.
65
Let's try that.
66
Listeners, repeat after Sarah.
67
My name is Alberto, but my friends all call me Al.
68
Good.
69
That makes the other person feel comfortable immediately.
70
Step 2 is location.
71
I usually just say, I'm from Italy.
72
That's okay, but let's add some flavor.
73
Use the word originally.
74
Oh, like, I'm originally from Rome,
75
but now I'm based in London.
76
Perfect.
77
Using based in sounds very professional.
78
Let's practice the present perfect for a moment.
79
Sarah, how do I say how long I've been here?
80
Use this structure.
81
I've been living in London for eight years.
82
Listeners, repeat that.
83
I've been living in Madrid for three years.
84
Excellent.
85
This tells a story, not just a fact.
86
Now, step three.
87
Sarah, in many cultures, family is the first thing we talk about.
88
How do we do that in English without oversharing?
89
Great point.
90
Don't list every cousin.
91
Use the word siblings for brothers and sisters.
92
So, instead of, I have two brothers and one sister,
93
I say, I have three siblings.
94
Or, if you have none,
95
say, I'm an only child.
96
I like that.
97
What if I want to talk about my kids?
98
Keep it simple.
99
I'm a mother of two.
100
Or, I have a five-year-old son.
101
Let's practice.
102
I'm one of four siblings,
103
and most of my extended family lives in Brazil.
104
Extended family.
105
That's a B1-level phrase.
106
It means aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
107
Next, step four.
108
Hobbies.
109
Everyone says, I like swimming.
110
Let's be more exciting.
111
Use the phrase, I'm really into… I'm really into vintage movies.
112
Yes, and here is the confidence secret.
113
End with a fun fact.
114
Use this sentence.
115
One thing you may not know about me is… Oh,
116
one thing you may not know about me is that I can cook a perfect lasagna.
117
See?
118
Now I want to keep talking to you.
119
It's a great conversation starter.
120
Listeners, try it.
121
One thing you may not know about me is… Good.
122
We've covered a lot.
123
Let's review the ease method.
124
E. Engage with a smile and a contraction.
125
A. Add detail to your location.
126
S. Share a bit of family or work.
127
E. End with a fun fact.
128
This was so helpful, Sarah.
129
Thank you so much for joining us.
130
It was my pleasure, Leo.
131
Remember, listeners, context is everything.
132
Use the EASE method to build your bridge to new people.
133
Exactly.
134
And before you go, please don't forget to subscribe to Simply Real English for more lessons like this.
135
And we want to hear from you.
136
You can write your own EASE introduction in the comments below.
137
We would love to read them.
138
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you in the next episode.
139
Bye-bye!

Perché praticare parlando con questo video?

Praticare l'inglese parlato attraverso video come quello di oggi è un'ottima strategia per migliorare la propria fluency. Il video affronta una domanda comune e potenzialmente stressante: "Parlami di te". Imparare a rispondere a questa domanda ti permette non solo di sentirti più sicuro durante le conversazioni, ma anche di costruire relazioni con nuove persone. Attraverso la pratica di conversazione in inglese, puoi migliorare la tua capacità di comunicare in situazioni sociali e professionali. Usare il metodo E.A.S.E. ti aiuta a presentarti in modo strutturato e interessante, aumentando così la tua naturalezza nell’espressione. Con il shadow speak, puoi ripetere e assimilare le frasi in modo che diventino parte del tuo linguaggio quotidiano.

Grammatica ed Espressioni nel Contesto

  • Presente semplice: Utilizzato per affermare fatti come "Mi chiamo Leo" o "Vivo a Milano". Questa struttura è fondamentale per introdurre informazioni basi su di te.
  • Frasi descrittive: Per esempio, "Sono un insegnante di inglese". Queste frasi ti aiutano a fornire dettagli importanti che rendono la tua presentazione più ricca.
  • Uso delle domande: Per esempio, "Come stai oggi?". Porre domande rende la conversazione interattiva e coinvolgente.
  • Espressioni colloquiali: La frase "È una bella giornata" è un ottimo esempio di come puoi usare il linguaggio quotidiano per connetterti meglio con gli altri. Queste espressioni possono migliorare notevolmente la tua comunicazione.

Trappole Comuni di Pronuncia

Durante il video, alcuni termini possono risultare complicati per i non madrelingua. Prestare attenzione alla pronuncia di sigle come E.A.S.E. è fondamentale; puoi provare a ripetere la sigla ad alta voce per migliorare la tua dizione. Inoltre, espressioni come "calm and collected" possono essere difficili da pronunciare se non sei abituato ai suoni dell'inglese. Le lettere "c" e "l" in queste parole possono creare confusione. Usare un shadowing site o applicare il metodo di shadowspeaks può aiutarti a superare queste difficoltà, permettendoti di ascoltare e ripetere suoni specifici.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

StrutturaNel video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corsoI've been looking · I've been living
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adessohas helped · I've been · We've covered

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
