Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr.

English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello Emily, and hello to all our listeners.

It is so good to be here again today.

It really is Paul.

How are you doing today?

I am okay.

A little bit hungry, actually.

I had a very early breakfast.

Oh, no.

What did you eat for breakfast?

Just some toast and a little bit of fruit.

It was not enough for a long morning of work.

How about you, Emily?

I am doing very well.

I had a big breakfast.

Eggs, bread, and a very large coffee.

So I have a lot of energy for our episode today.

That is good.

We need energy today because we have a very important topic.

We do.

Today we are talking about a question that everyone hears.

It is, tell me about yourself.

Oh, that is a big one.

I hear that question at parties, at work, and when I meet new neighbors.

Exactly.

It sounds simple, but sometimes it is hard to know what to say in English.

It is.

Sometimes my mind goes blank.

I just stand there and say, Uh, I am Paul.

Well, that is a good start.

But we can help everyone say a little bit more.

I hope so.

But wait, Emily.

Before we get into the details, we should ask our friends for a favor.

You are right.

If you are watching on YouTube, please take a second to like this video.

It really helps our channel.

Yes, and please subscribe to Mr.

English Channel.

We love seeing our community grow every week.

And if you have a friend who is learning English, share this episode with them.

Learning is better with friends.

Okay, now I'm ready.

Let's talk about introductions.

Where do we start?

We start with the basics.

Your name and where you live or where you are from.

That makes sense.

My name is Paul and I live in the city.

Simple and clear.

I had a funny situation yesterday, Paul.

I met a new woman at the park.

Oh, what happened?

Well, I saw her dog.

The dog was so cute.

It was a small, white dog with very long ears.

I started talking to the dog first.

You talked to the dog before the person?

Yes.

I said, hello, little friend.

You are so beautiful.

And the owner looked at me and smiled.

Then I realized I didn't say hello to her.

That is funny.

So what did you do?

I felt a little bit silly.

I stood up and said, oh, I am so sorry.

My name is Emily.

I live just around the corner.

That is a perfect way to fix it.

Did she tell you about herself?

She did.

She said, Nice to meet you, Emily.

My name is Susan.

I am from Chicago, but I moved here last month.

See?

Name and where you're from.

It is the best way to open the door to a conversation.

It really is.

And it is realistic.

You don't need to say your whole life story in one minute.

That is true.

Sometimes I want to say too much.

I want to talk about my cat, my car, my favorite food.

But maybe that is too much for the first minute.

Maybe save the cat stories for the second minute.

Good idea.

So after the name and the place, what's next?

Usually, people talk about what they do, their job or their studies.

Right.

Like, I'm a teacher or I work in an office.

Yes.

or if you are a student, I study engineering or I'm a high school student.

I remember my first job interview, Emily.

It was many years ago.

I was so nervous.

Oh, I hate interviews.

100

They make me sweat.

101

Me too.

102

The manager looked at me and said, So, Paul, tell me about yourself.

103

And what did you say?

104

Well, I wanted to sound very professional.

105

I said, I am Paul.

106

I am very hardworking.

107

I like to arrive on time, I am a fast learner.

108

That sounds very good.

109

Did you get the job?

110

I did.

111

But the funny part was that I was so nervous, I forgot to tell him that I actually had experience in that work.

112

I just talked about being hardworking.

113

At least you were honest.

114

But it shows that even in serious situations, you can keep it simple.

115

Exactly.

116

You don't need big, difficult words.

117

I work in a bank is better than a long, confusing sentence about financial systems.

118

I agree.

119

Simple English is the best English for beginners.

120

You know, Emily, I sometimes meet people at my guitar class.

121

Oh, I forgot you take guitar lessons.

122

How is that going?

123

It is going well, but I am still a beginner.

124

Last week, a new student joined the class.

125

His name is Marco.

126

And did he introduce himself?

127

He did.

128

He said, Hi, everyone.

129

I am Marco.

130

I work as a chef in a restaurant downtown.

131

In my free time, I want to learn music because it makes me relax.

132

That is a great introduction.

133

He said his name, his job, and a little bit about why he was there.

134

Yes, it felt very natural.

135

I liked that he mentioned his free time.

136

That is a great point, Paul.

137

Talking about your hobbies is a very friendly way to tell people about yourself.

138

I agree.

139

It makes people want to ask more questions, like, Oh, you are a chef?

140

What do you like to cook?

141

Exactly.

142

It creates a real conversation.

143

For example, if I say, I'm Emily, and I love hiking in the mountains, you might ask me where I go.

144

Right.

145

Or I might say, I love hiking too, but I'm very slow.

146

Being slow is okay.

147

The mountains don't run away.

148

That is true.

149

Hey, Emily, I have a quick idea for our listeners.

150

What is it?

151

If you're still listening right now, we want to hear from you.

152

Comment the word hello in the comments below.

153

Oh, I love that.

154

It's a simple way to say you are here with us.

155

Yes, just type hello and maybe tell us your name.

156

We love reading your names.

157

We really do.

158

It makes this feel like a big family.

159

It does.

160

Okay, so we talked about name, place, work, and hobbies.

161

What if someone asks about your family?

162

That is common too, especially in a relaxed setting.

163

Like at a dinner party?

164

Yes.

165

You can say, I have a small family or I come from a big family.

166

I usually say, I have one brother and one sister.

167

My brother lives in Canada.

168

That is perfect.

169

It gives just enough information.

170

You don't need to give their names or their ages if you don't want to.

171

Right.

172

It's just a way to show who you are.

173

I think people like to know if you have siblings or if you have a dog.

174

Oh, definitely.

175

People love talking about pets.

176

If I say, I have a very naughty cat, people always laugh.

177

Why is your cat naughty?

178

She likes to jump on the table when I'm eating.

179

She thinks my dinner is her dinner.

180

That is a very cat thing to do.

181

See?

182

Now I know something more about you.

183

You are a cat person.

184

Exactly.

185

These small details are what make an introduction feel real.

186

You know, Emily, I think some people are afraid of making a mistake when they talk about themselves.

187

I understand that fear.

188

fear.

189

But honestly, most people are just happy to meet you.

190

They are not checking your grammar.

191

That is so true.

192

I met a man at a cafe last week.

193

He was from France.

194

His English was not perfect, but he was so friendly.

195

What did he say?

196

He said, Hello, I am Pierre.

197

I am here for holiday.

198

I love this city.

199

That is beautiful.

200

It is simple, but I understand everything.

201

exactly he didn't say i am currently spending my vacation here he just said i am here for holiday it worked perfectly i love that it proves that you don't need to be an expert to have a conversation i agree but i did have one oops moment a few months ago oh tell me i love your oops moments Well, I was at a wedding.

202

I met a woman and she asked, So, Paul, tell me about yourself.

203

Okay.

204

I was eating a very large piece of cake at that moment.

205

Oh, no.

206

Yes.

207

My mouth was full of chocolate cake.

208

I tried to speak and I said, I am Paul.

209

I work.

210

Oh, Paul, that is terrible.

211

It was.

212

had chocolate on my teeth, too.

213

She just laughed and said, maybe you can tell me after you finish your cake.

214

That is a very good lesson.

215

Don't introduce yourself with a mouth full of cake.

216

Yes, that is a very realistic tip for our listeners.

217

Definitely.

218

Wait for a second, swallow your food, and then smile.

219

A smile is the most important part of an introduction.

220

It tells the other person, I am happy to talk to you.

221

It really does.

222

Even if your English is very basic, a smile makes it go well.

223

I also think it's good to have a routine.

224

You know, a few sentences you always use.

225

Like a script?

226

Not a script you read, but just a few things you are comfortable saying.

227

For me, it is, I'm Paul, I'm from this city, I love music, and I work in media.

228

I can say that in my sleep.

229

That is a great idea.

230

If you practice those three or four sentences, you won't feel so nervous when someone asks the question.

231

Right.

232

You can even practice in front of a mirror.

233

It sounds silly, but it works.

234

It does.

235

I used to do that before I started this podcast.

236

I would stand in the bathroom and say, hello, I'm Emily.

237

Welcome to our show.

238

Did anyone hear you?

239

My cat looked at me like I was crazy, but it helped me feel confident.

240

Cats are very good at making us feel crazy.

241

They are.

242

But seriously, practice makes it feel natural.

243

What about talking about your dreams or your future?

244

Is that part of telling about yourself?

245

Sometimes, especially if you are talking to a new friend.

246

Like, I want to travel to Japan next year.

247

Yes, or I am learning English because I want to get a better job.

248

Oh, that is a very common one for our listeners.

249

It is, and it's a great thing to share.

250

It shows you are a person who likes to grow and learn.

251

I agree.

252

It makes you interesting.

253

People like people who have goals.

254

I remember when I first met you, Paul.

255

Do you remember?

256

Hmm.

257

Was it at the studio?

258

Yes.

259

You were wearing a very bright yellow t-shirt.

260

Oh, I remember that shirt.

261

I loved that shirt.

262

It was very yellow.

263

You walked up to me and said, Hi, I'm Paul.

264

I'm going to be your partner on the podcast.

265

I'm a bit nervous, but I'm ready to work.

266

Wow, I said that?

267

I don't remember being that brave.

268

You were, and I liked it because you were honest.

269

You said you were nervous, but you also said you were ready.

270

That is a good tip, too.

271

Being honest is okay.

272

You can say, I am a bit shy, but nice to meet you.

273

Exactly.

274

It makes the other person feel relaxed, too.

275

Maybe they are shy.

276

Most people are a little bit shy when they meet someone new.

277

It's normal.

278

It's very normal.

279

So, Paul, we have covered a lot of ground today.

280

We have.

281

I feel like I know how to introduce myself better now, even after all these years.

282

Good.

283

I'm glad.

284

Should we do a quick recap for everyone?

285

That's a great idea.

286

Let's see what we talked about.

287

Okay.

288

First, we said start with the basics, your name and where you are from.

289

Right.

290

I am Paul, and I live in the city.

291

Simple.

292

Then, talk about your job or your studies.

293

I work as a teacher or I am a student.

294

No need for big words.

295

Third, mention a hobby or something you like to do in your free time.

296

Like my guitar lessons or your hiking in the mountains.

297

It makes the conversation fun.

298

And finally, don't forget the small things, like your family or your pets.

299

And the most important rule, no cake in the mouth when you are talking.

300

Yes.

301

Smile, be honest, and if you're nervous, it's okay to say so.

302

That is a perfect summary, Emily.

303

I think our listeners can really use these tips.

304

I hope so.

305

Telling people about yourself is the first step to making new friends.

306

It really is.

307

And English is just a tool to help you do that.

308

Well said, Paul.

309

I think that is all the time we have for today.

310

Oh, the time went so fast I didn't even notice.

311

That's because we were having fun.

312

True.

313

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
