1
In today's lesson, I'm going to teach you everything you need to know to start conversations with strangers,
2
to meet new friends, And to introduce yourself to new people in English.
3
It doesn't matter if you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced student, There will be something for you in this lesson So make sure to watch until the end.
4
Now, first of all, The first words you probably learned at school or "Hi" or "Hello".
5
And I'm not going to talk about those words today.
6
Instead, I want to give you some very common alternatives that native speakers use in everyday conversation.
7
Firstly, instead of saying hi, You could say: Hey!
8
Okay, what's up?
9
"How are you doing?" How's it going?
10
And if you want to be even more informal, you could say Yo, that's common amongst Americans.
11
Or you could say...
12
Sup.
13
which is obviously short for What's up?
14
Again, those are very, very informal, so I wouldn't recommend using them at work or with a professor.
15
On the more formal side of things, we have phrases like Good morning.
16
Good afternoon.
17
or "Good evening." Okay, those are standard phrases.
18
Native speakers don't Always use them in everyday casual conversation.
19
especially good evening, good afternoon, those are a bit more formal but we're totally fine to use in any situation.
20
So those are the basic greetings.
21
We have an English.
22
Now obviously if you meet somebody, you want to ask them what their name is.
23
and be very careful.
24
In English, we don't say How are you called?
25
How are you called?
26
That's completely...
27
Wrong.
28
I know in a lot of languages that's how you would create this Sentence is how you would structure it.
29
But in English we say "What is your name?" What is your name?
30
or if we're putting it together when we speak quickly we would say What's your name?
31
"What's your name?" The only correct response would be: My name is.
32
Or again, if we shorten it, my names.
33
For example, my name's Michael.
34
What's your name?
35
Now, if you have a nickname, A nickname is another name that is not your official name, But...
36
it's what you like to be called You can say: My name's Michael.
37
but I go by Mike For example, I go by Mike.
38
Or you could say, my name is Michael.
39
But I prefer to be called Mike.
40
I prefer to be called Mike. So, You've introduced yourself.
41
you've asked the other person what their name is, You can also say: "Pleasure to meet you !" Pleasure to meet you.
42
Nice to meet you.
43
Great to meet you.
44
And if you want to be really formal, you could say, "It's an honor." to meet you.
45
I can't really think of too many situations when you would use this Maybe if you met the president or somebody influential,
46
you could say it's an honor or a privilege.
47
to meet you.
48
Thank you.
49
And if you want to be really, really polite, If somebody says this to you, They say, It's a pleasure to meet you.
50
You could say, The pleasure is mine.
51
Again, that's really formal.
52
It's not super common, but it's Very diplomatic.
53
as we would say.
54
Of course, you can ask the question, where are you from?
55
Or where are you originally? from.
56
to which the answer is obviously I'm from this city or this country, I'm originally from this city, or this country.
57
but you could also answer in a bit more detail you could say: I was born in or I'm from,
58
I'm originally from, such and such city, But I grew up in...
59
a different place.
60
or I lived for several years in Another place.
61
And I have been living here four three months, six months, one year, whatever.
62
Now, I have been living here is the present Perfect.
63
Continuous.
64
Okay.
65
I have been living here.
66
It means you moved in the past.
67
but you are still living here.
68
Now.
69
I have been living here for three years or since 2021.
70
We use "for" for duration.
71
and sense for the starting point.
72
2021. Of course, if you want to ask somebody, why they're here in this specific place.
73
Maybe that's a city, a country, or Just...
74
the meeting, the event, or the party, you could say: "What brings you here?" What brings you here?
75
And to answer that question, you could say: "I'm here because..." I know...
76
the host, because I'm studying because I'm working,
77
etc, etc, etc. we have this phenomenon in English.
78
I'm sure it exists in other languages too.
79
It's called Smalltalk.
80
small Talk.
81
Now a lot of native speakers hate Smalltalk I don't like it too much either.
82
but we just accept it because it's so important to to meet new people.
83
You have to be good at small talk.
84
Small talk is just casual conversation, It's not too deep.
85
It's not too heavy.
86
It's quite basic.
87
That's...
88
maybe talking about the weather, talking about...
89
what's happening around you in the situation.
90
We use Smalltalk to Break the ice.
91
to break the ice.
92
That means to get into a deeper conversation or to get to know somebody a bit better.
93
Now, a classic Small talk.
94
Example would be talking about the weather.
95
For example, you could comment on what's happening outside.
96
You could say: It's a lovely day today.
97
Isn't it?
98
or it's a miserable day to day.
99
isn't it?
100
That's a very...
101
natural way of talking about the weather.
102
You could say, We've had great weather lately.
103
or we've not had great weather lately.
104
Now you can talk about the weather if you want, but as I said, Maybe you want to be a bit more personal.
105
So you can ask some questions about the other person's life.
106
Now, one common question that a lot of people like to ask is,
107
"What do you do for work?" Or what do you do for a living.
108
Be careful, we don't say what's your job.
109
Doesn't sound natural.
110
We say, "What do you do for work?" Or what do you do for a living.
111
So, I say you have to be careful with this question because in some places and in some communities it's considered rude.
112
It's considered a bit too invasive Personally, I don't see any problem with it.
113
But just so you know, you might want to be a bit cautious with this question.
114
And definitely do not ask anybody how much money they make.
115
That's a big no -no. You can ask somebody what they do for Work.
116
But if they ask you, what you do for work,
117
You could say: I work as a... and then your occupation.
118
I have been working as a Blank.
119
four x amount of years or x amount of months Or you could say, currently, I'm...
120
Looking for a job.
121
Currently I'm studying.
122
Currently, I am retired.
123
Okay, there are lots of different things.
124
You could say Apart from work, you can also talk about somebody's interests.
125
Maybe you're at a party, maybe you're at a social event.
126
you might want to connect with somebody on a bit of a deeper level.
127
Now obviously you can say what do you do in your free time, or what are your hobbies, That's totally okay.
128
But, You can also say What are you passionate about?
129
What are you interested in? at the moment.
130
Or how do you like to spend your free time.
131
So these are all alternatives that sound a bit more...
132
complex, they sound a bit more elegant perhaps.
133
But of course there's nothing wrong with
134
what do you do in your free time or what do you like to do as a hobby.
135
Thank you.
136
Now, If somebody asks you,
137
this question: You could say: I'm passionate about x, y, z.
138
I like to surf, I like to ski.
139
I like to read books.
140
Okay?
141
I'm interested in something I'm interested in something.
142
Careful.
143
It's always in.
144
It's never on or at or into.
145
It's always interested in something.
146
For example, I'm interested in...
147
I'm interested in playing, Piano?
148
Thank you.
149
Those are also...
150
great alternatives.
151
And lastly, if you are a guest, at somebody's house.
152
or you're a guest, you've been invited to a meeting to a conference,
153
and you're talking to somebody who invited you or who is hosting you, then you should say thank you so much.
154
for having me.
155
Thank you so much.
156
for having me.
157
Of course, you could also say "thank you for the invitation" Thank you four inviting me,
158
But it sounds very natural to say thank you for having me.
159
We've learned some phrases you can use to introduce yourself, to ask a few basic questions about other people.
160
and of course to share a bit more about yourself.
161
But, At the end of the day, Probably the most important thing is confidence.
162
When you're meeting somebody new, especially in American culture, in British culture too as well.
163
But I'm sure you're aware that confidence is a big thing in the United States.
164
It's important to smile, it's important to be open, it's important to have Open body language.
165
So don't cross your arms.
166
Keep them open like this.
167
Even if you don't feel confident inside, even if you feel shy, even if you feel anxious socially,
168
it's really, really important to at least try to fake it,
169
to try to make an effort to be sociable even if you don't feel fully confident with your English.
170
Now I want you to memorize the phrases we learned today There are other things you can say, If you have any ideas or you have any things you would like to add,

영어로 자기소개하는 방법, 실제 대화에서 쓰는 팁

영어 회화 연습을 할 때 가장 기본이 되는 것이 자기소개입니다. 이번 비디오에서는 초급부터 고급 학생까지 유용한 자기소개 방법을 알려주는데, 일상에서 native speaker들이 실제로 사용하는 표현을 중심으로 설명하고 있습니다. 특히 인사, 이름 물어보기, 친절한 응답법 등을 자세히 다루고 있어, 실제 대화에서 바로 쓸 수 있는 실용적인 내용이 많습니다.

일상 대화에 필수적인 5가지 표현

  • 인사하기: "Hi"나 "Hello" 대신 "Hey!", "What's up?", "How's it going?" 등이 일상에서 자주 쓰입니다. 더 비공식적인 경우 "Yo"나 "Sup"도 있는데, 직장이나 교수님 앞에서는 피하는 게 좋습니다. 공식적인场合에는 "Good morning", "Good afternoon", "Good evening"을 사용하세요.
  • 이름 물어보기: "How are you called?"는 틀린 표현입니다. 정확하게는 "What's your name?"라고 물어봅니다. 답변할 때는 "My name's [이름]"로 하며, 별명이 있다면 "I go by [별명]"이나 "I prefer to be called [별명]"이라고 말할 수 있습니다.
  • 만나서 반가워 하기: "Pleasure to meet you", "Nice to meet you"가 일반적이고, 더 공식적인 경우 "It's an honor to meet you"를 사용할 수 있습니다. 이때 상대방이 "Pleasure to meet you"라고 하면 "The pleasure is mine"으로 응답하면 더 친절합니다.
  • 별명 사용하기: 공식 이름이 아닌 별명을 사용하고 싶을 때는 "My name's Michael, but I go by Mike"처럼 말합니다. 상대방에게 별명으로 불러달라고 요청할 때도 유용한 표현입니다.
  • 공식적인 상황에서의 표현: 대통령이나 영향력 있는 사람을 만났을 때는 "It's an honor to meet you"나 "It's a privilege to meet you"를 사용하여 존경심을 나타낼 수 있습니다.

Shadowing 연습하기: 단계별 가이드

이 비디오는 shadowing 연습에 아주 적합한 내용입니다. 다음 단계로 연습해보세요:

  1. 듣고 따라하기: 비디오를 재생하면서 native speaker의 발음과 억양을 주의깊게 듣고, 같은 속도와 톤으로 따라합니다. "What's up?"나 "How's it going?" 같은 표현은 빠르게 발음되기 때문에, 발음 교정을 위해 반복해서 연습하세요.
  2. 표현 익히기: 위에서 소개한 5가지 표현을 각각 10번씩 말해보면서, 자연스럽게 나오도록 연습합니다. 특히 "I go by..."나 "The pleasure is mine" 같은 구문은 실제 대화에서 자주 쓰이므로, 익숙해지는 것이 중요합니다.
  3. 대화 시뮬레이션: 친구나 학습 동료와 함께 자기소개하는 대화를 시뮬레이션합니다. 인사부터 이름 물어보기, 반가워하는 표현까지 순서대로 실천해보면서, 자연스러운 흐름을 익히세요. 이때 shadowspeak 기술을 사용하여 발음과 리듬을 맞추는 것이 도움이 됩니다.
  4. 반복해서 연습: 하루에 10분씩만이라도 반복해서 연습하면, 몇 주 안에 이 표현들을 자연스럽게 사용할 수 있게 됩니다. shadow speech 연습을 통해 대화의 흐름과 발음을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

이 비디오의 내용을 활용하면 영어 회화 연습을 더 효과적으로 할 수 있으며, 실제 대화에서 native speaker와 자연스럽게 소통할 수 있는 기본기를 다질 수 있습니다. 꾸준히 연습하면 분명히 실력이 향상될 것입니다!

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.
