How to introduce yourself in English | Introducing yourself | Learn English | Sunshine English

Main Ideas / Concepts Conveyed

• The video teaches how to introduce yourself in English using a role-play conversation between two people.
• It covers common self-introduction topics and question types, including:
  • Name
  • Where someone is from
  • Age
  • Where someone lives
  • Job/occupation (and whether they’re a student or working)
  • Family members’ jobs (father/parents)
  • Siblings
  • Hobbies and free-time activities
  • Preferences in movies (e.g., horror/thrillers)

Methodology / Practice Format (Detailed)

The lesson is structured in two main steps:

1. Listen

   • Viewers listen to an English conversation between two people.
   • They are instructed to listen carefully so they can learn natural phrasing for self-introductions.

2. Speak / Practice

   • Viewers practice using a prompted script with turn-taking.
   • The video speaker provides first-person dialogues (e.g., “My name is Sam…”).
   • The viewer responds with second-person dialogues (e.g., “What is your name?” / “I am Kate.” depending on the prompt).
   • Practice covers the same question-and-answer categories as the listening conversation.
