1
Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.
2
I'm Emily.
3
Hello Emily.
4
Hi everyone.
5
It is so wonderful to be here with you today.
6
I am very happy.
7
I am happy too, Paul.
8
You look very good today.
9
You don't look tired like last time.
10
Yes, you are right.
11
I am not tired today.
12
I had a very big sleep last night and I had my green tea this morning.
13
It was a very good morning.
14
And you, Emily?
15
How are you doing?
16
I am doing great, thank you.
17
I have my big warm coffee here and the sun is shining.
18
It is a beautiful day to learn English.
19
It really is.
20
And I am excited.
21
You told me we have a very important topic today.
22
Yes, we do.
23
Today we are going to talk about something everyone needs.
24
It is the first step when you meet a new person.
25
We are talking about how to introduce yourself.
26
Ooh, introducing yourself.
27
That is so important.
28
When I meet a new person, I sometimes feel a little nervous.
29
My heart goes boom, boom, boom.
30
I understand, Paul.
31
Everyone feels a little nervous, but introducing yourself is like a key.
32
It opens the door to a new friendship or a new job.
33
That is a nice way to say it.
34
A key.
35
I like that.
36
Yes.
37
But before we give everyone the key, we have to ask for a small favor.
38
Oh, yes.

46
If your friends are learning English, they can listen to us and learn how to introduce themselves, too.
47
Exactly.
48
Okay, Paul, are you ready to start?
49
I am ready.
50
My shoulders are back.
51
I have a big smile, and I am ready.
52
Good job!
53
That is actually the first tip.
54
Just like we talked about in our confidence episode, a smile and good body language are very important when you say hello.
55
Yes.
56
So, I walk to a person, I smile, and I say hello.
57
But then, what do I say next?
58
Well, the most basic thing is your name.
59
But did you know there are different ways to say your name?
60
Really?
61
I usually just say, I am Paul.
62
That is perfect.
63
I am Paul is very natural and friendly.
64
You can also say, my name is Paul.
65
Is my name is more formal?
66
A little bit, yes.
67
I am Emily is very common with friends.
68
My name is Emily is great for a meeting at work, maybe for a meeting with your boss, Mr. Henderson.
69
Oh, yes.
70
Hello, Mr. Henderson.
71
My name is Paul.
72
That sounds very professional.
73
Exactly.
74
And sometimes people have long names, but they have a short name, too.
75
We call that a nickname.
76
Oh, like Thomas and Tom.
77
Yes, like your friend Tom at work.
78
You can say, my name is Thomas, but please call me Tom.
79
Ah, that is very helpful.
80
It makes the conversation feel more relaxed.
81
My name is Paul, but, well, My name is just Paul.
82
That's okay.
83
Now, after the name, people usually want to know where you are from.
84
This is where I say, I am from Brazil.
85
Yes, that is a classic sentence.
86
I am from, and then your country.
87
But you can also say your city.
88
So, I can say, I am from Brazil, from a city called Sao Paulo.
89
Perfect.
90
It gives more information.
91
And Paul, what if you live in a different place now?
92
For example, you are from Brazil, but maybe you live in London now?
93
Oh, then I can say, I am from Brazil, but I live in London now.
94
Yes, that is a great sentence because it tells a small story.
95
It makes the other person curious.
96
They might ask, oh, do you like London?
97
I see.
98
It helps the conversation keep going.
99
It's not just one word.
100
Exactly.
101
Now, the third part of a good introduction is often about what you do, your job or your studies.
102
Hmm.
103
I can say, I am a teacher.
104
Or, I am a podcast host.
105
Yes.
106
And for our listeners, if they are students, they can say, I am a student.
107
Or, I am studying English.
108
What if someone doesn't have a job right now?
109
That's okay.
110
They can talk about what they are interested in.
111
They can say, I am looking for a job in marketing.
112
Or, I am busy taking care of my family.
113
That is good to know.
114
It's about sharing a little bit of your life.
115
Yes.
116
And here's a pro tip, Paul.
117
Don't just talk about work.
118
Talk about something you love.
119
A hobby.
120
A hobby?
121
Like my bicycle?
122
Yes!
123
You can say, I am Paul, I am a teacher, and I love riding my bicycle.
124
I love that.
125
It makes me sound more fun.
126
It does.
127
If you only talk about work, it can be a little boring.
128
But if you say, I love cooking Italian food, or I'm a big fan of movies, the other person can connect with you.
129
Like you and your coffee, Emily.
130
You can say, I am Emily, and I really love coffee.
131
Yes, I actually say that a lot.
132
People remember me as the girl who loves coffee.
133
It is a good way to be remembered.
134
Wow.
135
So, name, country or city, job, and a hobby.
136
That is a very good introduction.
137
It is.
138
But we are missing one very important thing, Paul.
139
After you talk about yourself, what do you do?
140
Hmm.
141
I wait?
142
No, you must ask the other person.
143
A conversation is like a game of tennis.
144
You hit the ball to them.
145
Ah, so I ask, and you?
146
Yes, or how about you?
147
Or what is your name?
148
Hello, my name is Paul.
149
I am from Brazil.
150
I am a teacher, and I love my bicycle.
151
How about you?
152
That is perfect, Paul.
153
You are a star.
154
Thank you, Emily.
155
But wait, I have a question.
156
What if I meet someone at a party?
157
Is it different from a job interview?
158
That is a great question.
159
Yes, the energy is different.
160
At a party, you can be very informal.
161
You can say, Hi, I'm Emily.
162
I'm a friend of Maria's.
163
Ah, so you say how you know the person who invited you.
164
Yes, that is a very easy way to start.
165
I work with Tom, or I live next door to Sarah.
166
It gives you a connection.
167
I like that.
168
Connection is a good word.
169
It really is.
170
Now, let's talk about the when.
171
When you meet someone in the morning, do you say the same thing as in the evening?
172
Well, I can always say hello.
173
You can.
174
But using good morning, good afternoon, or good evening makes you sound very polite and very good at English.
175
So in the morning, I say, Good morning, I'm Paul.
176
And in the evening, I say, Good evening.
177
Yes.
178
Just be careful with good night.
179
Why?
180
Isn't that for the evening?
181
Good night is usually for when you are leaving or going to sleep.
182
If you arrive at a party at 8pm, you should say good evening.
183
Oh, I didn't know that.
184
So good evening is hello and good night is goodbye.
185
Exactly!
186
You are learning so fast, Paul.
187
Haha, I am trying.
188
This is fun.
189
So Emily, let's try a little practice.
190
Let's pretend we are at a coffee shop and we are meeting for the first time.
191
Okay, I love this.
192
I am sitting at a table with my coffee.
193
Okay.
194
Ahem.
195
Hello.
196
Is this seat free?
197
Yes, it is.
198
Please sit down.
199
Thank you.
200
I'm Paul, by the way.
201
I'm waiting for my tea.
202
Nice to meet you, Paul.
203
I'm Emily.
204
Are you from around here?
205
Actually, no. I'm from Brazil, but I'm visiting a friend here.
206
How about you, Emily?
207
Do you live in this city?
208
Yes, I do.
209
I live just five minutes away.
210
I come here every day for my coffee.
211
Wow, that's great.
212
What do you do, Emily?
213
I am a podcast host.
214
I love talking to people. And you?
215
I am a teacher.
216
And in my free time, I like to save money for a new bicycle.
217
That is a great goal.
218
It was very nice to meet you, Paul.
219
It was nice to meet you too, Emily.
220
End of scene.
221
That was great, Paul.
222
You used all the tips.
223
It felt very natural.
224
I didn't feel too nervous because I knew what to say.
225
That is the secret.
226
If you have a plan in your head, the words come out easier.
227
You know, I was thinking about Sarah and Tom at my office.
228
Remember the story about the big report?
229
Oh, yes.
230
The long meeting and the stress.
231
Well, when Sarah started her job last month, she was very quiet.
232
She didn't introduce herself to everyone.
233
She just sat at her desk.
234
Oh, that is hard.
235
It makes it difficult for people to know her.
236
Yes, but Tom is the opposite.
237
He went to everyone and said, hey, I'm Tom.
238
I'm the funny guy here.
239
That sounds like Tom.
240
But you know, Paul, Well, you don't have to be loud like Tom.
241
You can be quiet like Sarah and still give a great introduction.
242
Really?
243
How?
244
You can just go to one person at a time.
245
A small smile and, hello, I am Sarah, I am new here, is enough.
246
You don't have to talk to the whole room.
247
That is a very good point.
248
Introductions can be small and quiet, too.
249
Exactly.
250
It's about being friendly, not about being loud.
251
I agree.
252
Now, Emily, what if someone asks a question I don't understand during an introduction?
253
Don't panic.
254
Just like we said in our confidence episode, you can say, I'm sorry, can you repeat that?
255
Or, what does that word mean?
256
Right.
257
People are usually happy to explain.
258
They know you are learning.
259
Yes, most people are very kind.
260
If you are brave and try to speak, they will respect you.
261
Brave is a good word.
262
It is brave to speak a new language.
263
It really is.
264
I am always so proud of our listeners.
265
Me too.
266
They are doing a great job.
267
They are.
268
Now, Paul, before we finish, let's remember the main points we talked about today.
269
Oh, yes, I remember.
270
First, always start with a smile and say hello.
271
Yes.
272
And then say your name.
273
You can use I am or my name is.
274
And don't forget to mention if you have a nickname.
275
Right.
276
And then tell people where you are from.
277
It's a great way to start a small conversation about travel or home.
278
Exactly.
279
And tell them what you do, your job or your studies.
280
But try to add something fun, like a hobby or something you love.
281
Like my bicycle or your coffee.
282
Yes.
283
And the most important part, ask them a question back, say, and you, to keep the tennis game going.
284
And we learned that good morning, good afternoon, and good evening are very polite ways to start.
285
You got it, Paul.
286
You are ready to meet anyone now.
287
I feel ready.
288
I want to go to a park and meet new people.
289
That's the spirit.
290
Well, everyone, we hope you enjoyed this episode about introducing yourself.
291
Yes, it was so much fun.
292

293

Vídeo recomendado

Por que praticar fala com esse vídeo?

Aprender a se apresentar com confiança é o primeiro passo para construir conexões, seja em um novo trabalho, escola ou até mesmo em um café. Esse vídeo é perfeito para iniciantes (A1-A2) porque usa diálogos reais e simples, como os que você encontra no cotidiano. Ao acompanhar a conversa entre Emily e Paul, você não só aprende frases práticas, mas também absorve a intonation e a fluidez natural da língua. E se você quer melhorar ainda mais, combine a visualização com o shadowing em inglês – uma técnica onde você repete as frases imediatamente após os falantes, como se estivesse "sombra" deles. Essa prática ajuda a treinar a pronúncia, a velocidade e a confiança na fala. É como ter um tutor virtual guiando você!

Gramática e expressões no contexto

No diálogo, há várias estruturas essenciais para iniciantes. Vamos analisar algumas:

  • "I am [nome]": A forma básica de se apresentar. Simples, mas fundamental! Note que "am" é o verbo "ser" para a primeira pessoa. Exemplo: "I am Emily."
  • "How are you doing?": Uma pergunta amigável para saber como a pessoa está. A resposta comum é "I am doing great, thank you." – prática para conversas diárias.
  • "I had a very big sleep": Usamos o verbo "had" (passado de "have") para falar de ações concluídas. Essa frase mostra como descrever uma rotina matinal de forma natural.
  • "It is a beautiful day to learn English": A estrutura "it is + [adjetivo] + to + verbo" é ideal para expressar opiniões sobre situações. Muito útil para comentar o clima, atividades ou sentimentos!

Todas essas frases são fáceis de memorizar e aplicar no seu dia a dia. Pratique-as com o shadow speech para internalizar a pronúncia e a fluidez.

Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia

Mesmo em diálogos simples, algumas palavras podem ser tricky. Vamos destacar:

  • "Nervous": A pronúncia correta é /ˈnɜːrvəs/ (nér-vus), mas muitos iniciantes confundem com "nervoso" em português, deixando o "v" forte. Ouça o vídeo e repita suavemente.
  • "Wonderful": A sílaba tônica está no "won" (/ˈwʌndərfəl/), não no "der". Evite dizer "won-DER-ful" – ouça como Emily fala e siga o ritmo.
  • "Green tea": A combinação de "green" e "tea" pode ser rápida. Note que o "n" de "green" se liga ao "t" de "tea", ficando quase "greet tea". Isso é comum na fala informal!

Para superar essas armadilhas, use o shadowing site ou pratique o shadowspeak repetindo as frases várias vezes. Quanto mais você ouve e repete, mais natural sua pronúncia ficará.

Lembre: a prática de conversação em inglês é como uma chave – ela abre portas para novas amizades e oportunidades. Com esse vídeo e as técnicas de shadowing, você está no caminho certo para falar inglês com confiança. Bora começar? 🚀

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
