How to Pronounce TOP 10 English Introductions

Hi.

I’m Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

Are you ready to imitate the top 10 introductions
in English?

Let’s practice.

Today, we’re going to practice the most important
introduction sentences in English, at least

according to me.

Because you’re going to say these natural
sentences again and again in daily conversation,

this is a great opportunity to practice pronouncing
them correctly each time that you use them.

Your challenge is to imitate me and speak
out loud.

I don’t care where you are, at work, in the
car, at home by yourself.

Practice out loud.

And if you enjoy this video, make sure that
you check out part one, Imitating the Top

10 Sentences in English right up here.

Number one: Hi, I’m Vanessa.

What’s your name?

Of course you’re not going to say Vanessa.

You’re going to say your name, but let’s slow
this down so that you can say it naturally.

Hi, I’m plus your name.

Hi, I’m Vanessa.

What’s … Makes sure that you say ts, that
TS here.

What’s your name?

What’s happening with the word your here?

Notice my lips when I say your compared to
your.

A little bit different.

It kind of sounds like Y-E-R.

This is the most natural fast pronunciation
for the word your.

So, let’s say that quickly.

What’s your name?

What’s your name?

What’s your name?

Hi, I’m Vanessa.

What’s your name?

I’m kind of emphasizing what’s your name.

Because I just said mine, so I want to know
now what’s your name.

Hi, I’m Vanessa.

What’s your name?

Now, I’m going to pause and I want you to
fill in your name.

I want you to say this sentence out loud.

Practice speaking.

Are you ready?

Hi, I’m … What’s your name?

Go ahead.

Excellent work.

Let’s go on to the second sentence.

Sentence number two: Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

What’s going on in this seemingly simple sentence?

Let’s start at the beginning.

Nice.

Say it with me.

Nice to meet, to meet.

Here, the word to is being reduced to simply
T, just the sound T. The vowel O is gone,

so we’re going to link together to meet, to
meet.

But do you hear that final T sound on the
word to meet?

Not really.

Instead, your tongue is going to be at the
top of your mouth ready to make the T sound,

but no air comes out.

So, we’re going to say to meet.

My tongue is stopped at the top of my mouth.

To meet, to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Can you say that out loud with me?

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I’m going to pause, and I want to say it by
yourself.

Nice to meet you.

Go ahead.

Excellent work.

Let’s go on to the third one.

Sentence number three: I’m from the US, and
you?

You’re probably not from the US if you’re
watching this, so you can fill in the name

of your country.

I’m from Mexico, and you?

I’m from India, and you?

Let’s break down this pronunciation.

I’m from, F-R-O-M.

Sounds like a U here, from.

I’m from plus your country.

Then, you want to reciprocate and ask the
other person.

And you?

Did I say and you?

In this situation, the D is cut up.

It’s gone.

It’s on vacation somewhere.

So, we’re just going to say an.

An you?

An you?

An you?

Where are you from?

An you?

Let’s say this all together.

I’m from the US, and you?

I’m from the U.

S, and you?

I’m going to pause.

I want you to fill in your country and say
it out loud.

Go ahead.

Great work.

Let’s go to the next one.

When you first meet someone, it’s common to
talk about your surroundings.

Maybe you’re both at the grocery store or
you’re both at a friend’s birthday party.

You have this in common, so you’re going to
talk about it.

Let’s imagine that you go to another country,
and you’re talking with someone, and they

ask you, “How long have you been here?”

You might say, “I’ve been here for two weeks.

I’ve been here for two weeks.

I’ve been here for two weeks.”

You could also substitute if you’re at a university
or maybe if you’re at a job.

I’ve worked here for two weeks.

I’ve studied here for two years.

You could change that verb, but we’re just
going to stick with I’ve been here for two

weeks.

Let’s break this down.

I’ve been.

This sounds like a short I, B-I-N, been.

I’ve been here for.

Why does for change to for?

I don’t know, but that’s what happens.

So, this is gonna sound like F-E-R, fOr.

Kind of sounds like the fur of an animal,
which is F-U-R, but same pronunciation.

For two weeks.

I’ve been here for two weeks.

I’ve been here for two years.

I’ve been here for five minutes.

I’ve been here for two weeks.

Let’s say that quickly one time, and then
I’m going to pause so that you can say it

yourself.

I’ve been here for two weeks.

Go ahead.

Great work.

Let’s go onto the next one.

Common introduction number five is, what do
you do?

This is asking what’s your job.

This is the most common way to ask what someone’s
job is.

What do you do?

What do you do?

What do you do?

A lot of this is linked together, kind of
mumbled together.

So, I want to help you pronounce it in the
same way.

What do you?

What do you?

Can you say that with me?

What do you?

What do you?

The T in what is cut out, and instead it’s
replaced by the word do, which is linked together.

What do you do?

Notice my lips aren’t really moving much here.

What do you do?

What do you do?

Inside my mouth, my tongue is moving, but
on the outside, what do you do?

What do you do?

It’s not moving that much.

So, I want you to say this with me.

Let’s go slowly, and then we’ll speed it up.

What do you do?

What do you do?

What do you do?

What do you do?

Why do you do?

What do you do?

What do you do?

All right, it’s your turn.

Go ahead.

Excellent work.

Let’s go on to the next one.

The sixth sentence is, I’m a designer.

I work for the marketing department.

If you don’t know how to describe your job
or what your job title is, you can check out

this video I made, 100 Job Titles.

Hopefully it will help you to be able to describe
your job in these introductions situations.

You could say, “I’m a designer.

I work for … " We’re using that same pronunciation
again, F-E-R.

I work for the marketing department.

Make sure that if you use this reduction,
for, you’re speaking a little bit quickly,

you’re linking things together.

If you said, “I work for the,” it’s a little
bit weird.

You need to link it together if you’re going
to use that reduction because the point of

a reduction is to reduce your speech to make
it faster.

So, let’s say that together.

I’m a designer.

I work for the marketing department.

I work for the marketing department.

You can link those two words together.

Work for, work for the marketing department.

I work for the marketing department.

I’m a designer.

I work for the marketing department.

All right, it’s your turn.

Go ahead.

Great work.

Let’s go to the next one.

The seventh introduction is for when you have
a mutual friend.

Let’s imagine that you’re walking down the
street and you see your friend James.

And James is walking with someone else, and
he introduces that person to you.

So, you start to have a conversation with
that person.

You could ask them, “So, how do you know James?”

This just means, where did you meet?

Do you work together?

Are you his brother?

What’s the situation?

This is pretty common.

Maybe you’re at a party and you’re just making
small talk with people.

If that person who’s hosting the party is
James, everyone at the party knows James,

so it’s a good question to ask.

So, how do you know James?

Great.

You’re just kind of figuring out each other’s
relationships.

Let’s pronounce this together.

So, it’s a good way to introduce a new topic.

So, how do you know James?

This similar to what do you do, that kind
of lazy, not-moving-your-lips-very-much type

of pronunciation.

So, how do you know James?

So, how do you know James?

How do you know James?

Can you say that with me?

So, how do you know James?

How do you know James?

So, how do you know James?

I’ll say that one more time, and then met
a pause so that you can say it yourself.

So, how do you know James?

Go ahead.

It’s your turn.

Great work.

Let’s go to the next one.

And continuing with the same idea, this person
who knows James might say, “Oh, we used to

work together.”

We used to work together.

Used to often gets reduced to used to.

We used to work together.

We used to work together.

Let’s break down this sentence.

We used to work.

This is a lovely word.

It has an O, but it sounds like W-E-R-K, work
together, together.

It almost sounds like ta, T-A, together, together.

We used to, we used to work together.

We used to work together.

And when you link used to together, that means
that you’re reducing and you’re sounding more

natural.

So, let’s say this full sentence.

Then, I’m going to pause so that you can say
it yourself.

We used to work together.

We used to work together.

We used to work together.

Go ahead.

It’s your turn.

Excellent work.

Let’s go to the next one.

The ninth introduction or common expression
that’s used the first time you meet someone

is, I don’t want to hold you up.

I don’t want to hold you up.

This is probably what you would say at the
end of that quick conversation together when

you first meet someone, and it means, “Oh,
I see that you probably have something else

that you want to do.”

Maybe you want to go grocery shopping, and
you see each other at the grocery store, or

maybe you’re trying to talk to the host of
the party, James, and you just quickly had

a quick conversation, so now you want to let
that other person leave the conversation and

continue what they were doing previously.

So, you might say, “I don’t want to hold you
up.”

This doesn’t mean hold you physically, but
here let’s break down this sentence.

I don’t.

The T here is cut out.

Your tongue is going to be at the top of your
mouth, but you’re not going to let the air

through.

I don’t wanna hold you up.

Want to is linked together and makes wanna.

I don’t wanna hold you up.

Great.

Let’s say this all together.

I don’t wanna hold you up.

I don’t wanna to hold you up.

I don’t wanna to hold you up.

It’s your turn.

Say it yourself.

I don’t wanna to hold you up.

Go ahead.

Thanks so much.

Great work.

Let’s go to the next one.

The final expression that’s often used the
first time you meet someone is, maybe see

you around sometime.

Maybe see you ‘round sometime.

What does this mean?

It means that maybe you’ll never see this
person again or maybe you will.

I don’t know.

But, it’s just kind of a polite way instead
of saying, “Okay, let’s make plans to see

each other on Saturday 5:00.”

No, you’re just saying, “Okay.

It was nice to see you.

Maybe see you again sometime.”

So, you might say, “Maybe see you roun sometime.”

What’s happening with the word around?

Well, we’re cutting off the first letter.

We’re cutting off the last letter, and we’re
just saying the middle part, roun, roun.

This means around town or just somewhere in
general.

This is the common reduction when we’re speaking
quickly.

You’ll probably hear people say this in movies,
or TV shows, or in conversations, and now

you can say it, too.

Let’s say it all together.

Maybe see you roun sometime.

Maybe see you roun some time.

Maybe see you roun sometime.

Maybe see you around sometime.

All right, I’m going to pause and it’s your
turn.

Go ahead.

Great work.

You worked really hard pronouncing all 10
of these important introduction expression.

So, I hope that the next time that you meet
someone new you’ll be able to use them and

also pronounce them naturally incorrectly.

Now I have a question for you.

In the comments, let me know what’s a common
question or conversation topic that you usually

have when you first meet someone.

Do you talk about their job, their family?

Maybe in your country you talk about their
age or something else that’s specific to your

culture.

Let me know in the comments what happens the
first time that you meet someone, and I’ll

see you again next Friday for a new lesson
here on my YouTube channel.

当然,你不会说 Vanessa。

你会说你的名字,但让我们放慢速度
,这样你就可以自然地说出来。

你好,我加你的名字。

你好,我是瓦内萨。

什么… 确保您在这里说 ts,即
TS。

你叫什么名字?

你在这里这个词是怎么回事?

当我说你和你的比较时,请注意我的嘴唇

有点不同。

听起来有点像 Y-E-R。

这是your这个词最自然的快速
发音。

所以,让我们快点说。

你叫什么名字?

你叫什么名字?

你叫什么名字?

你好,我是瓦内萨。

你叫什么名字?

我有点强调你叫什么名字。

因为我刚刚说了我的,所以我

练习口语。

你准备好了吗?

前进。

优秀作品。

让我们继续第二句话。

第二句:很高兴认识你。

很高兴见到你。

这个看似简单的句子是怎么回事?

让我们从头开始。

好的。

跟我说吧。

很高兴认识,认识。

在这里,to这个词被简化为简单的
T,只是音T。元音O消失了,

所以我们要联系在一起见面,
见面。

但是你听到“见面”这个词的最后一个 T 音了
吗?

并不真地。

取而代之的是,您的舌头将位于
嘴巴顶部,准备发出 T 音,

但没有空气流出。

所以,我们要说见面。

我的舌头停在嘴巴的顶部。

遇见,遇见你。

很高兴见到你。

很高兴见到你。

如果您正在观看此视频,您可能不是来自美国
,因此您可以填写

您所在国家/地区的名称。

我来自墨西哥,你呢?

我来自印度,你呢?

让我们分解一下这个发音。

我来自 F-R-O-M。

从这里听起来像一个 U。

我来自加你的国家。

然后,您想回报并询问
对方。

你呢?

我说和你了吗?

在这种情况下,D 被切断。

它消失了。

它在某个地方度假。

所以,我们只说一个。

一个你?

一个你?

一个你?

你从哪里来?

一个你?

让我们一起说这一切。

我来自美国,你呢?

我来自

美国,你呢?

我要暂停一下。

我希望你填写你的国家并
大声说出来。

前进。

做得好。

让我们进入下一个。

当你第一次见到某人时,
谈论你周围的环境是很常见的。

也许你们都在杂货店,或者
你们都在朋友的生日聚会上。

你有这个共同点,所以你要
谈谈它。

假设你去另一个国家
,你正在和某人交谈,他们

问你,“你在这里多久了?”

你可能会说,“我在这里已经两个星期了。

我在这里已经两个星期了。

我在这里已经两个星期了。”

如果你在大学
或者你在工作,你也可以替代。

我在这里工作了两个星期。

我在这里学习了两年。

你可以改变那个动词,但我们
只会坚持我已经在这里待了两个

星期。

让我们分解一下。

我去过。

这听起来像是一个简短的我,B-I-N,曾经。

我一直在这里。

为什么for改成for?

我不知道,但这就是发生的事情。

所以,这听起来像 F-E-R,fOr。

有点像动物的皮毛
,是 F-U-R,但发音相同。

两周。

我来这里已经两个星期了。

我来这里已经两年了。

我已经在这里呆了五分钟。

我来这里已经两个星期了。

让我们快速说一次,然后
我将暂停,以便您自己说

我来这里已经两个星期了。

前进。

做得好。

让我们进入下一个。

常见的介绍五是,
你是做什么的?

这是在问你的工作是什么。

这是询问某人的工作是什么的最常见方式

你做什么工作?

你做什么工作?

你做什么工作?

很多都是联系在一起的,有点
喃喃自语。

所以,我想帮助你以
同样的方式发音。

你是什么?

你是什么?

你能跟我说吗?

你是什么?

你是什么?

被删掉的内容中的T
,取而代之的是被链接在一起的单词do代替。

你做什么工作?

请注意,我的嘴唇在这里并没有真正移动太多。

你做什么工作?

你做什么工作?

在我的嘴里,我的舌头在动,但
在外面,你在做什么?

你做什么工作?

它没有那么大的移动。

所以,我想让你和我一起说。

让我们慢慢来,然后我们会加快速度。

你做什么工作?

你做什么工作?

你做什么工作?

你做什么工作?

你为什么这样做?

你做什么工作?

你做什么工作?

好吧,轮到你了。

前进。

优秀作品。

让我们继续下一个。

第六句话是,我是设计师。

我在市场部工作。

如果你不知道如何描述你的工作
或你的职位是什么,你可以看看

我制作的这个视频,100 个职位。

希望它能帮助您
在这些介绍情况下描述您的工作。

你可以说,“我是一名设计师。

我为……工作”我们再次使用相同的发音
,F-E-R。

我在市场部工作。

确保如果你使用这种缩减,
因为你说得有点快,

你把事情联系在一起。

如果你说,“我为这个工作”,那就
有点奇怪了。

如果要使用该缩减,则需要将其链接在一起

因为缩减的目的是减少您的语音以
使其更快。

所以,让我们一起说。

我是一名设计师。

我在市场部工作。

我在市场部工作。

你可以把这两个词联系在一起。

为市场部工作,为市场部工作。

我在市场部工作。

我是一名设计师。

我在市场部工作。

好吧,轮到你了。

前进。

做得好。

让我们进入下一个。

第七个介绍是当你有
一个共同的朋友时。

让我们想象一下,你走在
街上,看到了你的朋友詹姆斯。

詹姆斯和其他人一起散步,
他把那个人介绍给你。

因此,您开始与
那个人进行对话。

你可以问他们,“那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的?”

这只是说,你在哪里认识的?

你们一起工作吗?

你是他的兄弟吗?

什么情况?

这很常见。

也许你在一个聚会上,你只是
在和人闲聊。

如果主持聚会的人是詹姆斯,那么聚会上的
每个人都认识詹姆斯,

所以这是一个很好的问题。

那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的呢?

伟大的。

你只是在弄清楚彼此的
关系。

让我们一起发音。

因此,这是引入新主题的好方法。

那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的呢?

这类似于你做什么,
那种懒惰的,不动嘴的,非常多

的发音。

那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的呢?

那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的呢?

你是怎么认识詹姆斯的?

你能跟我说吗?

那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的呢?

你是怎么认识詹姆斯的?

那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的呢?

我再说一遍,然后
停顿一下,让你自己说。

那么,你是怎么认识詹姆斯的呢?

前进。

轮到你了。

做得好。

让我们进入下一个。

继续同样的想法,这个
认识詹姆斯的人可能会说,“哦,我们曾经

一起工作过。”

我们曾经一起工作。

习惯往往会变得习惯。

我们曾经一起工作。

我们曾经一起工作。

让我们分解一下这句话。

我们曾经工作过。

这是一个可爱的词。

它有一个 O,但听起来像 W-E-R-K,
一起工作,一起工作。

这几乎听起来像ta,T-A,在一起,在一起。

我们曾经,我们曾经一起工作过。

我们曾经一起工作。

当你习惯在一起时,这
意味着你正在减少并且你听起来更

自然。

所以,让我们说这个完整的句子。

然后,我将暂停,以便您
自己说。

我们曾经一起工作。

我们曾经一起工作。

我们曾经一起工作。

前进。

轮到你了。

优秀作品。

让我们进入下一个。

第九个介绍或
第一次见到某人时常用的表达方式

是,我不想阻止你。

我不想抱你。 当你第一次见到某人时,

这可能是你在
快速对话结束时会说的

,它的意思是,“哦,
我知道你可能还有其他

想做的事情。”

也许你想去杂货店购物,
你们在杂货店见面,

或者你正试图和
派对的主人詹姆斯交谈,你很快就进行

了一次简短的交谈,所以现在你想让
该其他人离开对话并

继续他们之前正在做的事情。

所以,你可能会说,“我不想阻止
你。”

这并不意味着抱你,但
在这里让我们分解这句话。

我不。

这里的 T 被剪掉了。

你的舌头会在你嘴的顶部
,但你不会让空气

通过。

我不想抱你。

想要联系在一起并制造想要。

我不想抱你。

伟大的。

让我们一起说这一切。

我不想抱你。

我不想抱你。

我不想抱你。

轮到你了。

自己说吧。

我不想抱你。

前进。

非常感谢。

做得好。

让我们进入下一个。


你第一次见到某人时,通常使用的最后一个表达是,也许

会在某个时候见到你。

也许会在某个时候见到你。

这是什么意思?

这意味着也许你再也见不到这个
人了,或者你会的。

我不知道。

但是,这只是一种礼貌的方式,而
不是说,“好吧,让我们计划

在星期六 5:00 见面。”

不,你只是说,“好吧。

很高兴见到你。

也许以后还能再见到你。”

所以,你可能会说,“也许某个时候会看到你转来转去。”

周围这个词是怎么回事?

好吧,我们要删掉第一个字母。

我们把最后一个字母
删掉了,我们只是说中间部分,圆,圆。

这意味着在城镇周围或一般的某个地方

当我们快速说话时,这是常见的减少

你可能会在电影、
电视节目或对话中听到人们这样说,现在

你也可以这么说。

一起来说说吧。

也许有一天会看到你转来转去。

也许一段时间会看到你。

也许有一天会看到你转来转去。

也许会在某个时候见到你。

好吧,我要暂停一下,轮到你了

前进。

做得好。

你真的很努力地发音了所有 10
个这些重要的介绍性表达。

所以,我希望下次你遇到
一个新人时,你将能够使用它们并且

自然地错误地发音它们。

现在我有一个问题要问你。

在评论中,让我知道您第一次见到某人
时通常会遇到的常见问题或对话主题是什么

你谈论他们的工作,他们的家庭吗?

也许在您的国家/地区,您谈论他们的
年龄或其他特定于您的

文化的东西。
