Hello everyone and welcome to English with Lucy.

I'm Lucy and it's nice to meet you.

Have you ever felt awkward when it comes to introducing yourself?

Maybe you look online for a video on how to introduce yourself but it's at a very basic level.

I mean introducing yourself in another language is one of the first things they teach you

but how do we introduce ourselves at an advanced level of English.

Let's say C1 or even C2.

I'm going to help you today.

I'm going to train you to introduce yourself in English in a very natural, advanced way.

I'm going to give you lots of options so they will definitely apply to you in your situation.

Introductions are so important.

I want to help you get it right.

To help you even further, I've also created a PDF

introductions guide you can download this for free it covers everything

we're going to talk about in this lesson plus lots of extra information i've included some extra dialogues a quiz

and a link to some secret exercises so

that you can put what you've learned into practice

if you'd like to download that pdf just click on the link in the description box

or scan that qr code there enter your name

and email address sign up to my mailing list and the pdf will arrive directly in your inbox.

After that, you will automatically receive my free weekly PDFs, plus all of my other updates, offers and course information.

But now let's get started with the lesson.

So in this lesson, you're going to listen to two dialogues.

The first one is going to be fairly simple.

You'll hear two people introducing themselves at a cheese convention.

This is my dad's dream situation.

Later in the video, you'll hear a much more advanced version.

Hi, I'm Alex.

Nice to meet you.

Claire, nice to meet you too.

What are you doing here?

I sell cheese.

You?

I'm with the marketing team.

Now, I want to make this clear.

There is nothing wrong with that exchange.

In fact, I've had hundreds of conversations like that.

But today, we're focusing on C1 or advanced English.

So let's learn some more advanced phrases.

So how do you begin?

You could say, I don't think we've been introduced, or I'm not sure we've met before.

You can use these phrases if you're fairly sure that you haven't met the person before.

They're just polite introductory phrases.

If you want to introduce someone else, you might say, I'd like to introduce my colleague, Carlson Cheng.

This is more formal.

A less formal way to do this would be, have you met Julie?

She's a mate from school.

Okay, when you introduce yourself, you need to share your name.

That's probably the most important thing.

It's fine to just say, I'm Lucy, but you could expand a little, especially if you use a shortened version of your name or you have a nickname.

Here are some phrases to use.

I'm Magdalena, but most people call me Magda.

Or, my name's Roberto, but I usually go by Beto.

I go by means I use this name.

Or, please call me Patty.

It's short for Patricia.

Or, a longer, more advanced one, Bartholomew's my given name, but only my grandmother calls me that.

I've always felt more like a Bart.

You could also inject a little humour.

I respond to William or Will, but never Bill.

Now, let's say you know you have a mutual connection with someone, you could say, I'm a friend or colleague of Keiko's.

You might add, she speaks very highly of you.

This means that Keiko says very nice things about you.

And this is a very flattering thing to say when you first meet someone.

Nearly everyone loves a compliment.

Another common phrase is, I've heard a lot about you.

And the most common responses are,

You could also say, Now,

let's say you might have met someone before, but don't remember clearly.

You can say, I think our paths have crossed before.

This phrase is perfect when you vaguely recognise someone but aren't entirely sure where from.

When you cross paths with someone or your paths cross, it means you've met by chance at some point.

If you're in a similar social or professional circle, you could say, we must move in the same circles.

And if you're surprised that you haven't met sooner, you might add, I can't believe we haven't crossed paths before.

So next, you might want to ask someone where they're from.

You could say, are you from around here?

And some different ways to answer.

Yep, Portsmouth born and bred.

Or, yeah, I was born and raised just around the corner.

These phrases mean you were born and grew up in a place.

Here are some more.

Originally, but I've moved around a lot.

I'm based in Milan at the moment.

Or, I grew up here, but I've been living in Belfast for the past few years.

Or you could say, nope, just passing through.

To pass through means to stop in a place for a short time before going somewhere else.

Now, let's say you want to introduce yourself to someone at an event.

You could ask, why are you here?

But that is very direct.

So here are some alternatives.

What brings you here today?

What brings you to this part of the world?

What brings you to the conference today?

You might add business or pleasure.

For example, What brings you to the World Coffee Championships today?

Business or pleasure?

And the answer could be business.

I'm with beans, beans, beans.

Or, oh, purely pleasure.

100

I'm a bit of a caffeine addict.

101

Did you hear that additional detail?

102

I'm a bit of a caffeine addict.

103

We often add something about our likes, interests, and hobbies when we're introducing ourselves.

104

I'm a bit of a is a common expression used to soften a statement about ourselves.

105

It suggests we have a certain trait or interest, but in a more casual or modest way.

106

For example, I'm a bit of a foodie.

107

You might also say, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a bookworm, or I consider myself a bit of a language geek.

108

You'll often hear people refer to themselves as a geek, but I don't recommend calling someone else that.

109

You could also say that you have or have got a soft spot for something or someone.

110

It means, I like it or I like them.

111

For example, I've got a soft spot for stray cats and now I have seven at home.

112

Or I've always had a soft spot for cheesy 80s music.

113

Okay, are you ready for a more advanced dialogue now?

114

You're not just going to listen.

115

There are some gaps in this dialogue, so you need to complete the phrases as we go.

116

Hi, I don't think we've been introduced.

117

I'm Alexandra, but I usually buy Alex.

118

What do you think?

119

Go.

120

I go buy Alex.

121

All right, let's continue.

122

Nice to meet you.

123

I'm Claire.

124

So what you hear today?

125

Brings.

126

Did you get that one?

127

I'm with the marketing team organising this event.

128

What about you?

129

Business or...

130

Business or pleasure?

131

Bit of both.

132

I'm here on holiday, but I sell cheese back in London, so I thought I'd pop in.

133

You know, I think our...

134

have crossed before, actually.

135

Were you at the Cheddar Together conference in Melbourne?

136

What about that one?

137

Paths.

138

Our paths have crossed before.

139

Yeah, I was.

140

We must move in the same.

141

So, are you a bit of a cheese addict too?

142

Yeah, you could say that.

143

They move in the same circles.

144

Okay, how did you do?

145

I would love for you to practice introducing yourself in the comments.

146

Let me know if you have a nickname you go by, if you have a soft spot for something.

147

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your practice introductions.

148

And with that, we're at the end of the lesson.

이 레슨에서 배울 내용

이 비디오는 C1+ 수준의 자연스러운 영어 자기소개 방법을 다루고 있습니다. 기본적인 "나는 루시예요"보다 더 진보된 표현을 배우고, 실제 대화에서 사용할 수 있는 다양한 패턴을 연습할 수 있습니다. 두 사람이 치즈 컨벤션에서 만나는 대화를 통해 기본적인 교환과 고급 표현의 차이를 체험하고, 영어 쉐도잉을 통해 발음과 리듬을 연마할 수 있습니다.

핵심 어휘 및 표현

I don't think we've been introduced - "우리가 소개되지 않았던 것 같아요" (친절한 인사 시작 표현)
shortened version - "줄임말" (이름을 확장하여 소개할 때 사용)
marketing team - "마케팅 팀" (직업 관련 표현)
colleague - "동료" (공식적인 소개 시 사용)
mate from school - "학교 친구" (비공식적인 소개 시 사용)

연습 팁: 쉐도잉과 발음 교정

이 비디오의 대화는 자연스러운 속도와 어조를 가지고 있어 shadowspeak 또는 shadow speech 연습에 적합합니다. 다음과 같이 연습해보세요:

비디오를 5초씩 멈추며, 발음과 억양을 따라합니다. 특히 "I don't think we've been introduced"와 같은 긴 문장의 리듬을 주의깊게 듣고 따라하세요.
고급 표현을 사용할 때의 자연스러운 톤을 모방합니다. 공식적인 상황과 비공식적인 상황에서의 차이를 느껴보세요.
자기소개를 할 때 이름을 확장하는 표현 ("I'm Lucy, but my full name is Lucinda")을 연습하여 영어 발음 교정에도 도움을 받으세요.

쉐도잉을 반복하면, 자연스러운 영어 표현이 몸에 익을 뿐만 아니라 발음과 리듬도 향상됩니다. 오늘도 작은 단계를 밟아 나가세요!

이 영상의 문법

화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.

문형	영상 속 표현
현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때	Have you ever felt · I've also created · i've included
수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점	we've been introduced · was born · were born

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
