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

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.

139
Bye-bye!

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
自己紹介をすることは、多くの人にとって緊張を伴う瞬間ですが、実はこれは新しい人とつながるための重要な橋渡しです。このビデオでは、英語で自然に自己紹介をする方法を学ぶことができます。英語シャドーイングを取り入れた実践的なアプローチを使うことで、言語の流暢さを高め、聴き取る力も向上します。また、IELTSスピーキング対策にも最適な内容です。無理なくリラックスした状態で話すことができるようになり、自己紹介のスキルを身につけることができます。
文法と表現をコンテキストで分析する
- 自己紹介の構造: 「私の名前は...」、「私は...に住んでいます」、「私の家族は...」といったシンプルで明確な表現が使われています。これにより、相手に自分を効果的に紹介できる力が養われます。
- 楽しい事実の共有: 自己紹介の最後に「面白い事実」を加えることで、よりパーソナルな接続を促します。このテクニックは、特に初対面の人とのコミュニケーションを円滑にします。
- リズムとイントネーション: 自己紹介時の声のトーンやリズムにも注意が必要です。プレゼンテーションのように話すことで、聴衆に自信を示すことができます。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオで注意すべき発音のポイントはいくつかあります。特に「自己紹介」という言葉や「場所」という単語は、地域によって発音が異なる場合があります。また、スピーキング速度も問題です。速すぎると相手に伝わりにくくなるため、ゆっくりとしたペースで話すことを心がけましょう。
さらに、アメリカ英語のアクセントとイギリス英語のアクセントでも違いがあるため、同じ単語でも異なる発音を意識してみることが重要です。このように、YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、自分の発音を録音して確認することが役立ちます。shadow speakやshadowspeakの手法を使って、自分の声を繰り返し練習しましょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
