Hello everyone!
2
Welcome to the very first official episode of the Jay and Mae English Podcast.
3
I'm Mr. Jay.
4
And I'm Mae.
5
We are so excited to finally start this journey with all of you.
6
Our goal is simple, to help you speak English naturally and confidently.
7
That's right, Mae.
8
And for our first episode,
9
we wanted to talk about the very first thing you do when you meet someone.
10
Greetings.
11
Oh, this is a big one, Mr. J.
12
When I first started learning English,
13
the only thing I knew was, hello, how are you?
14
I'm fine, thank you.
15
And you?
16
It felt like a robot talking.
17
Exactly.
18
And that's the problem with textbook English.
19
It's grammatically correct, but in real life,
20
native speakers rarely use that exact script.
21
It can sound a bit too formal or even a little stiff.
22
So what should we say instead?
23
If I'm meeting a friend,
24
how are you feels a bit too serious sometimes.
25
You're right.
26
If you're seeing a friend or a colleague you know well,
27
we use casual greetings.
28
One of the most common ones is, how's it going?
29
How's it going?
30
I hear that in movies all the time,
31
but how do I answer that?
32
Do I say I am going well?
33
Good question.
34
No, you wouldn't say I am going well.
35
You can just say good,
36
pretty good, or not bad.
37
It's just a way of saying you're doing okay.
38
Pretty good.
39
I like that.
40
It sounds much more relaxed.
41
What about what's up?
42
I'm always afraid to use that one because I never know the right answer.
43
What's up is very common among younger people or close friends.
44
It basically means what is happening in your life right now.
45
So the most common answer is actually not much or nothing much.
46
Wait, so if someone asks what's up I should say not much,
47
even if I'm busy?
48
Usually, yes.
49
It's just a greeting.
50
You say, not much, and then you can start a real conversation.
51
It's like saying hi back to them.
52
That makes sense.
53
OK, so we have, how's it going,
54
and what's up for friends.
55
But what if I'm at the office or meeting a boss?
56
I probably shouldn't say what's up to my manager, right?
57
Probably not, unless you have a very casual boss.
58
For a professional setting, you can use how are you doing?
59
Notice the doing at the end.
60
It's slightly more formal than how's it going,
61
but friendlier than a simple how are you.
62
How are you doing?
63
Okay, I'll remember that.
64
And Mr. J, what about when we haven't seen someone for a long time?
65
Ah, for that, we use long time no see or it's been a while.
66
And a great follow-up question is how have you been?
67
How have you been?
68
That's perfect.
69
It shows that I care about what happened since the last time we met.
70
Precisely.
71
Now, Mae, let's talk about the mistake many learners make when replying.
72
Most people just say, fine.
73
Is fine bad?
74
It's not bad, but sometimes fine can sound like you are unhappy or even a bit annoyed.
75
If you want to sound positive,
76
try saying, I'm doing great or things are going well.
77
Oh, I see.
78
Tone of voice matters too.
79
If I say I'm fine with a flat voice,
80
people might think I'm having a bad day.
81
Exactly.
82
English is a very expressive language.
83
Your energy tells as much of the story as your words do.
84
This is so helpful, Mr. J.
85
So to recap for our listeners,
86
use how's it going or what's up for friends,
87
how are you doing for work,
88
and how have you been for people you haven't seen in a while.
89
Perfect summary, Mae.
90
And remember, the goal isn't to be perfect, it's to be natural.
91
Don't be afraid to try these out next time you meet someone.
92
Thank you so much for listening to our first episode.

We would love to hear from you.

背景与语境
在学习英语的过程中，许多学习者常常陷入只会使用教科书上的常规问候语，比如“你好，你好吗？我很好，谢谢，你呢？”这类对话听起来非常生硬，缺乏自然的交流氛围。正如Jay和Mae在他们的英语播客中所交流的，真实的本地英语使用者往往使用更轻松、更自然的表达方式。因此，了解日常交流中使用的口语表达，对于提升英语口语能力至关重要。
日常交流中的五个常用短语
- How's it going? - 这是一个在朋友间非常常见的问候语，听起来更随意。
- Pretty good. - 这是对“How's it going?”的一个轻松回答方式，比起“我很好”来得更加自然。
- What's up? - 这个短语在年轻人中很流行，表示“你最近怎么样？”
- Not much. - 常用作“What's up?”的回答，表示你没有特别的事情要分享。
- How have you been? - 适合用来询问朋友近况，一种较为轻松的方式。
逐步跟读指导
要有效提高你的英语口语和发音，可以采用“跟读法”（shadowing）。以下是针对视频内容的具体步骤：
- 观看视频：首先，看YouTube学英语，选择合适的英语学习视频，像Jay和Mae的播客是一个很好的选择。
- 逐句跟读：仔细听每一句话，模仿发音和语调。注意流行的问候短语如何自然地融入对话中。
- 重复练习：在听音频的同时，跟着说出每个短语，多次重复，可以帮助你提高语音语调。
- 记录进步：可以在shadowing site上找到相关练习，通过录音对比自己和原音，发现差距，进一步提高英语发音。
- 参与实际对话：寻找机会与母语人士交流，实践所学的短语，逐步提升你的口语能力。
通过以上步骤，你可以轻松地将这些自然的表达融入日常对话中，从而提升你的英语口语练习效率。记住，练习是关键，不断地练习和使用这些短语将帮助你更自信地进行英语交流。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
