1
Have you ever met someone new and your mind just went blank?
2
Oh yes, every single time.
3
Someone asks you, so tell me about yourself, and suddenly you forget your own name?
4
It's true.
5
I forget my job, I forget my hobbies, I even forget what city I live in.
6
Same here.
7
And today we are going to fix that problem forever.
8
Forever?
9
That's a big promise.
10
It is, but by the end of this episode you will know exactly how to talk about yourself in English.
11
Easy words, simple sentences, real confidence.
12
So if you've ever felt nervous, shy, or stuck when talking about yourself, stay with us.
13
Because this one is for you.
14
Hi, everyone.
15
Welcome back to the podcast.
16
I'm Emma.
17
And I'm Jake.
18
How are you today, my friend?
19
I'm great.
20
A little tired, but happy.
21
And you?
22
I'm good.
23
I had a coffee, so I'm ready to talk.
24
Perfect.
25
So let me ask you something.
26
When was the last time someone said, tell me about yourself?
27
Last week.
28
I was at a party.
29
A new friend asked me, so, who are you?
30
And what did you say?
31
I said, I'm Jake.
32
That's it?
33
That's it.
34
Then there was silence.
35
Long silence.
36
Awkward silence.
37
Oh, no.
38
Oh, yes.
39
My brain stopped working.
40
I knew English.
41
I knew the words, but the sentences, gone.
42
This happens to everyone.
43
And you know what?
44
It's not because your English is bad.
45
It's because you don't have a plan.
46
A plan?
47
Yes.
48
When you walk into a room and someone asks about you, you need a small, simple plan in your head.
49
Like a script?
50
Not a script.
51
More like ingredients.
52
Like cooking.
53
Oh, I like food examples.
54
I know you do.
55
So today we will give you the ingredients and you can mix them in your own way.
56
Okay, I'm hungry now.
57
Let's start.
58
So, the first ingredient is your name.
59
Easy.
60
My name is Jake.
61
Good, but let's make it warmer.
62
Try this.
63
Hi, I'm Jake.
64
Nice to meet you.
65
Hi, I'm Jake.
66
Nice to meet you.
67
See?
68
Already friendlier.
69
You can also say, Hey, I'm Jake.
70
What's your name?
71
Oh, I like that, because then the other person also talks.
72
Exactly.
73
A good conversation is not one person talking, it's two people sharing.
74
That's a nice line.
75
Thank you.
76
Write that down, everyone.
77
Okay, name is done.
78
What's next?
79
The second ingredient, where you are from.
80
I am from Texas.
81
Good, but again, let's add a little flavor.
82
Try, I'm from a small town in Texas, or I was born in Texas, but now I live in New York.
83
Oh, that sounds more interesting.
84
Right?
85
Because now I want to ask you, why did you move?
86
Or do you miss Texas?
87
Yes, it opens the door for more questions.
88
That's the secret.
89
Don't just give answers, give doors.
90
Give doors.
91
I love that.
92
Let me tell you something.
93
A few years ago, I met a girl at a coffee shop.
94
She said, I'm from a place where it snows 10 months a year.
95
Wow, where?
96
See?
97
You just asked.
98
That's the magic.
99
You got me.
100
She didn't say, I'm from Norway.
101
She made me curious, and we talked for two hours.
102
Two hours?
103
About snow?
104
About everything, because she opened a door.
105
Okay, name, where I'm from, what's the next ingredient, Chef Emma?
106
Chef Emma.
107
Okay, the third ingredient is your job or what you do.
108
I am a teacher.
109
Good, but here's a little tip.
110
Don't just say your job, say what you love about it.
111
Hmm, like what?
112
Try, I am a teacher.
113
I love seeing my students smile when they understand something new.
114
Oh, that's beautiful.
115
Or, I work at a hospital.
116
It's hard, but I feel happy when I help people.
117
That's so much better than I am a nurse.
118
Right, because now people see your heart, not just your job title.
119
But wait, what if you don't have a job?
120
Great question.
121
Then talk about what you do every day.
122
Are you a student?
123
I'm a student.
124
I study business.
125
Add some flavor.
126
Okay, I'm a student.
127
I study business because I want to start my own coffee shop one day.
128
Yes, now I want to know more about your coffee shop.
129
See?
130
Doors.
131
Doors everywhere.
132
Are you a parent?
133
You can say, I'm a mom.
134
I have two kids and they are my whole world.
135
Are you between jobs?
136
You can say, right now I'm taking a break and learning new skills.
137
There's no wrong answer.
138
Exactly.
139
The point is share something real.
140
Okay, here's a question for me.
141
What if I'm shy?
142
Oh, that's a big one.
143
Many people are shy.
144
They don't want to talk too much.
145
They feel afraid.
146
I understand.
147
And here's the interesting part.
148
You don't need to talk a lot.
149
Really?
150
Really.
151
You just need to talk a little, but say it clearly and from the heart.
152
So less is more?
153
Less is more.
154
One short, honest sentence is better than ten long, fake sentences.
155
That's a relief.
156
For example, a shy person can simply say, Hi, I'm Anna.
157
I'm a quiet person, but I love to listen.
158
Oh, that's lovely.
159
People will love that because it's honest, and being honest is always charming.
160
Comment honest below if you agree.
161
Yes, and while you're there, hit that like button if this is helping you.
162
It really helps our little podcast grow.
163
Thank you, friends.
164
Okay, ingredient number four.
165
Are you ready?
166
I'm ready.
167
Your hobbies.
168
What do you love to do?
169
I like football.
170
Stop.
171
Stop right there.
172
What did I do?
173
I like football is fine, but it's flat.
174
Flat?
175
Like a soda with no bubbles, no energy.
176
Okay, give it bubbles.
177
Try I love football.
178
I play every Sunday with my friends.
179
We are not very good, but we have fun.
180
Oh, now I see the picture.
181
I see you running, I see your friends, I see the ball.
182
That's storytelling, and storytelling is the heart of conversation.
183
So I should always add a little story?
184
Yes, just one or two extra sentences.
185
That's all.
186
Let me try.
187
I love cooking.
188
Last weekend I made pasta for my family and my brother said it was the best pasta of his life.
189
Beautiful.
190
Now I'm hungry and I want to be your friend.
191
Mission complete.
192
Let me tell you something.
193
Stories are like glue.
194
They make people remember you.
195
That's true.
196
I don't remember names, but I remember stories.
197
Exactly.
198
So next time someone asks about your hobby, don't just give a word.
199
Give a small story.
200
Can I tell you about a problem I had?
201
Of course.
202
Last year, I went to a job interview.
203
The boss said, tell me about yourself.
204
I started talking, and I talked for 10 minutes.
205
10 minutes?
206
10 minutes.
207
About my school, about my dog, about my favorite pizza.
208
Oh, no.
209
The boss looked tired.
210
I did not get the job.
211
Oh, I'm sorry, but this is a great lesson.
212
What's the lesson?
213
Don't talk too much.
214
Keep it short.
215
How short?
216
One minute.
217
Maybe two.
218
Not ten.
219
But how do I stop myself?
220
Use a simple structure.
221
I call it the three-step rule.
222
Three steps.
223
Okay.
224
Step one, who you are.
225
Step two, what you do.
226
Step three, something you love.
227
That's it?
228
That's it.
229
Three simple steps.
230
Easy to remember.
231
Let me try.
232
Hi, I'm Jake.
233
I'm a teacher in New York.
234
I love hiking on the weekends.
235
Perfect.
236
Short, clear, friendly.
237
Wow.
238
Why didn't I do that in the interview?
239
Because nobody told you, my friend.
240
But now you know.
241
But wait, here's something even more important.
242
What is it?
243
How you say it.
244
How I say it?
245
Yes.
246
Your voice, your eyes, your smile.
247
Hmm.
248
Tell me more.
249
You can have the perfect words, but if you say them with a sad face and a quiet voice, it doesn't work.
250
That's true.
251
Smile.
252
Look at the person.
253
Speak slowly.
254
Take your time.
255
Speak slowly.
256
That's a good tip.
257
Many learners speak too fast because they are nervous, but fast English is not better English.
258
Slow English is clear English.
259
Yes.
260
Write that down.
261
Slow English is clear English.
262
I feel like a student in your class right now.
263
Welcome to Emma's English School.
264
Okay, here's a tricky one.
265
What about weaknesses?
266
Oh, the famous question.
267
What is your weakness?
268
Yes, people hate this question.
269
Don't hate it.
270
Use it.
271
Use it?
272
When you talk about yourself, sometimes you can share something small that you are working on.
273
It makes you human.
274
Like what?
275
Like, I'm trying to be more organized.
276
Or, I'm learning to speak in front of big groups.
277
It's hard, but I'm getting better.
278
Oh, that's nice.
279
It shows growth.
280
Exactly.
281
People love people who are growing.
282
But don't say crazy things, right?
283
Right.
284
Don't say, my weakness is that I sleep until 2 p.m.
285
or my weakness is I eat too much chocolate save that for your friends save it for the chocolate
286
you mean always for the chocolate now let me share a secret ooh a secret I love secrets the biggest mistake people make when talking about themselves is they try to sound perfect
287
Perfect?
288
Yes.
289
They want to look smart.
290
They want to look successful.
291
They want to look amazing.
292
But that's bad?
293
It's not real, and people can feel when you are not real.
294
Hmm.
295
When you are simple and honest, you become magnetic.
296
Magnetic?
297
I like that word.
298
Be a magnet, not a movie star.
299
Be a magnet, not a movie star.
300
That's beautiful.
301
Thank you.
302
Comment magnet below if you want to be a magnet too.
303
Haha, yes.
304
And remember, you don't need fancy words.
305
You don't need a big vocabulary.
306
You just need to be you.
307
Okay, let me practice.
308
Can I introduce myself again?
309
Please, I want to hear it.
310
Hi, I'm Jake.
311
I'm from a small town in Texas, but now I live in New York.
312
I work as a teacher, and I love it because my students make me laugh every day.
313
On weekends, I go hiking with my dog, Max.
314
He's lazy, but I love him.
315
Oh, Jake, that was wonderful!
316
Really?
317
Really.
318
I learned your name, your hometown, your job, your hobby, and even your dog's name in 30 seconds.
319
And it was easy.
320
I didn't even think much.
321
Because you used the ingredients.
322
Name, place, job, hobby.
323
A small story.
324
It's like a recipe.
325
It is a recipe.
326
And now you can cook this recipe anywhere, at a party, at work, on a date.
327
On a date?
328
Yes, even on a date.
329
Oh, this is going to change my life.
330
Let me tell you a story.
331
I'm listening.
332
A few years ago, I had a friend named Maria.
333
She was from Spain.
334
Her English was not great, just basic.
335
But she was the most popular person in our class.
336
Why?
337
Because when she introduced herself, she always smiled.
338
She always said something simple but warm.
339
Like what?
340
She would say, hi, I'm Maria.
341
I love food, I love music, and I love new friends.
342
Oh, I love that.
343
That's it.
344
Three short sentences.
345
But everyone wanted to talk to her.
346
Three sentences changed her life.
347
Three sentences.
348
And the same can happen for you.
349
This makes me feel hopeful.
350
Good, because hope is the first step.
351
What about awkward silence?
352
After I introduce myself, sometimes there's a long silence.
353
Oh, the silence monster.
354
Yes, the silence monster.
355
Easy.
356
After you introduce yourself, ask a question.
357
A question?
358
Yes, like, what about you?
359
Or have you been to New York before?
360
Or what do you do?
361
So I throw the ball back to them.
362
Exactly.
363
Conversation is like ping pong.
364
You hit the ball, they hit the ball, you hit the ball.
365
And nobody is sitting alone with the ball.
366
Right.
367
The silence monster runs away.
368
I love this.
369
Here is the interesting part.
370
Most people love to talk about themselves.
371
So when you ask a question, they smile, they open up, and suddenly you are best friends.
372
Wow, that's powerful.
373
Listening is the secret superpower of conversation.
374
Listening is the secret superpower.
375
Got it.
376
Now, I want to share five magic phrases.
377
Write these down.
378
Pen ready.
379
Number one, nice to meet you.
380
Classic.
381
Friendly.
382
Number two, what about you?
383
Throws the ball back.
384
Number three, tell me more.
385
Oh, people love hearing that.
386
Number four, that's interesting.
387
It shows you were listening.
388
And number five, I'd love to know more about that.
389
That's a beautiful sentence.
390
These five phrases, my friends, will save you in any conversation.
391
Five phrases.
392
Let's say them again with me.
393
Nice to meet you.
394
What about you?
395
Tell me more.
396
That's interesting.
397
I'd love to know more about that.
398
Perfect.
399
Now you have them.
400
Comment your favorite one below.
401
Yes.
402
Tell us which one you will use first.
403
What about confidence?
404
I know the words.
405
I know the structure.
406
But I still feel scared.
407
That's normal.
408
Everyone feels scared.
409
Even you?
410
Even me.
411
The first time I spoke English in public, my hands were shaking.
412
My voice was shaking.
413
I almost cried.
414
Really?
415
Really.
416
But I did it.
417
And the next time was a little easier, and the next time even easier.
418
So confidence comes from doing.
419
Confidence comes from doing, not from thinking, not from waiting.
420
That's such an important message.
421
You can read a thousand books about swimming, but you will never swim until you jump in the water.
422
Jump in the water.
423
Jump in.
424
Get wet.
425
It's okay to make mistakes.
426
Mistakes are part of learning.
427
Yes.
428
I'll say it again because this is important.
429
Mistakes are not bad.
430
Mistakes are gifts.
431
Mistakes are gifts.
432
Every mistake teaches you something.
433
Every mistake makes your English stronger.
434
I needed to hear this.
435
We all do.
436
Okay, let me give one more example.
437
Please.
438
Imagine you are at a new job.
439
Your boss says, everyone, please introduce yourself.
440
Oh, scary moment.
441
Very scary.
442
But now we have a plan.
443
What do I say?
444
Try this.
445
Hi, everyone.
446
I'm Jake.
447
I'm new here.
448
I used to work at a school in Texas.
449
In my free time, I love hiking.
450
I'm really excited to be part of this team.
451
Wow.
452
Short, clear, warm.
453
And it ends with positive energy.
454
Excited to be part of this team.
455
That's gold.
456
I will use this on my next first day.
457
Use it.
458
It works.
459
Okay, here's another situation.
460
You are at a wedding.
461
A person sits next to you.
462
A stranger.
463
A stranger.
464
They say, so how you know the bride?
465
Ooh, classic wedding question.
466
Don't just say, she's my friend.
467
Add a small story.
468
Like, Sarah and I have been best friends since college.
469
She helped me when I was sick.
470
She's like family.
471
Beautiful.
472
Now the stranger feels close to you.
473
Now they want to talk more.
474
Stories build bridges.
475
Stories build bridges, yes.
476
I'm collecting all your beautiful sentences today.
477
Make a poster.
478
What about online, like when I have a video call with new people?
479
Same rules, but add one thing.
480
What?
481
Smile.
482
On video, your energy must be a little bigger.
483
Smile a little more.
484
Speak a little louder.
485
Use your hands.
486
Because the camera is small.
487
Yes, small camera, big energy.
488
Small camera, big energy.
489
Dot it.
490
And don't be afraid of the camera.
491
The camera is just a friend with a glass eye.
492
A friend with a glass eye.
493
That's how I think about it.
494
It helps me relax.
495
We have shared so much today.
496
Should we do a quick recap?
497
Yes, let's do it together.
498
Number one, have a simple plan.
499
Use the three-step rule.
500
Who you are, what you do, something you love.
501
Number two, open doors with small details.
502
Don't just give answers, give curiosity.
503
Number three, tell small stories.
504
Stories are glue.
505
Number four, be honest, be real.
506
Don't try to be perfect.
507
Number five, ask questions.
508
Throw the ball back.
509
Number six, smile, speak slowly, be warm.
510
Number seven, mistakes are gifts.
511
Don't be afraid.
512
That's the recipe, my friends.
513
Easy ingredients, big results.
514
Now, before we say goodbye, I want to share one final message.
515
I'm ready.
516
Talking about yourself is not about words.
517
It's about heart.
518
Heart.
519
When you speak, you are sharing a piece of your life with another person.
520
That is a beautiful thing.
521
That is a gift.
522
It is.
523
So don't be scared.
524
Don't worry about grammar.
525
Don't worry about being perfect.
526
Just be you, because you are enough.
527
You are enough.
528
Say it with me.
529
You are enough.
530
You are enough.
531
Beautiful.
532
Wow, I feel different now.
533
Like, I want to go meet new people right now.
534
Then go.
535
Open the door.
536

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
