Hello, everyone, once again, thanks for that awesome introduction. And everyone, I am so pumped up and I'm ready to share with you what we have to discuss in today's lesson or just today's show episode of the social English podcast. Now, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever thought about how to introduce yourself? I'm sure that you probably have. And I'm also sure that you have already learned this. But did you know that there are age appropriate ways to introduce yourself as well? Sometimes when you meet people of different age groups, one way to talk to them and introduce yourself may sound a little strange to the listener. So that is what we are going to discuss today, we're going to give you three different age groups that you would speak to in English in three different ways to introduce yourself to those three different age groups. Okay. Well, that's what our episode is about today. Now, today. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Percy. This is the social English podcast. If you are new to the social English podcast, welcome. And here, you can learn something new to help improve your English on your journey to becoming a natural English speaker. Okay, so today, what we want to focus on are the things earlier. Now I want to jump right into today's episode. And the reason the way I want to do this is I want to talk about the first age group that you would introduce yourself. So I'd like you to relax. Listen to this episode, take a deep breath, breath, exhale. And just picture me, Percy, and you sitting across a table at a favorite cafe, having a cup of coffee, or tea, and I'm just having a fun, relaxed conversation with you. And I want to tell you about how to speak to different English speakers using natural social English. Okay. So the first person that I want to talk about the first group is the older or elderly group. And this is a group of people that are probably in the age groups of between, I'd say maybe the upper Upper 60s 60s and above. These are the elderly people. And the way that you want to introduce yourself to them is with the following phrase. Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm Percy, for example. Let's use my name for example. Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm Percy. Okay. Now what you're saying with this particular age group, is you're first saying the greeting of Hello. And you're saying it in a certain way that they will not only understand it but they will see it as being a base. Seek conversational introduction to the two of yourself to them. And the next part of that is nice to meet you. Nice to meet you is you're saying that it's You're welcome that you are, you're welcoming the chance to meet them. And in have a conversation with them or something further in the future. And then you would say, I'm Percy, or I'm whatever your name is. And you would also get your, your them responding with that is Hi nice to meet you I'm and their name. Okay. So that's that's the type of greeting that you want to, to have with a person of the older elderly age group. That's what you want to talk to them about. That's the way you want to speak to them. That is the conversation, opener or introduction for you to make with him. Now, the second group would be the adult group. So the main adult group would be someone that's outside of your social group, outside of your regular social group. Think of some think of your college professor, okay, your college professor in that age range, someone that you're going to see multiple times. But they're not in your your age group purse, they're not directly in your age group. Those are the people that you're going to want to use the following with. Okay, this is how you would introduce yourself to the second group. Hi, I'm Percy. Nice to meet you. Okay, that's how you would introduce yourself to them. Hi, I'm Percy. Nice to meet you. Now, this can also be maybe friends have a family, or have maybe the parents of a friend that you're visiting, or just just someone of that age group, that would be an age appropriate greeting. Hi, I'm Percy. Nice to meet you. Okay, now notice that the change went from hello to Hi, hi is a little bit less informal than Hello. And you're going to directly Introduce yourself by name, because you want them to remember your name, because you're going to see them further in the future. So if you greet themselves with Hi, and then you greet and then the next line, here is your name. I'm Percy, for example, your name, I'm your name, then they're going to remember your name quicker, because that's the next piece of information that they will hear from you your name, then you add the line. Nice to meet you. Because you're telling them okay, Hello, this is my greeting. This is my name. And it is also nice to meet you, meaning that you are friendly. You're a friendly individual, that's what you are communicating to them. Okay, third, third, the third group is in what which I call the younger group. Now, even though it may sound a little bit different than what you're used to the younger age group, you will be using language that's very informal, and even oftentimes, sounds a little bit rough maybe. But this is the way that speaks. Social English is spoken in the American English language, and probably in other countries as well. It's very informal. Now let's talk about the group, the third group, the third group will be your immediate social circle or people that would possibly wind up in your social circle. So who are those people? Those people are people such as your classmates, in your college classes, your best friends that you talk to, that you've grown up with, or a counterpart in America, someone that you're communicating with on social media, such as Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, something like that, that you're having direct messages with, and you've direct message them for a while, but you're going to meet up with him in person and have a conversation and speak and introduce yourself. This is also appropriate to someone you may date you may have, you may want to date them. This, this, this group of dating extends to any person that you consider someone you might want to date, because this is an informal way of introducing yourself. So let's go right into it. The third group, you would say, Hey, what's up? I'm Percy, what's your name? Okay, one more time. Hey, what's up? I'm your name? What's your name? Okay. Now, you can see that says there's a little bit of a difference there. It's a little bit of a subtle, subtle difference. And what you are saying to them is, hey, hey, hey, is a very informal way to say, greetings or Salutations, or Hello, hello. It's Hey, what's up? So hey, what's up is the equivalent of saying hi, or Hello, Hey, what's up? Now, what's up in this particular pattern? Hey, what's up? You're not requesting information from them, particularly at this time. It's almost like you're just saying hello. It's the same thing that the speaker should not immediately expect. The read the person that they're talking to the listener to give a detailed information about their health or anything, what they did that day or anything like that. So it's just a general greeting. What's up? Hello, what's up? Okay, next, I'm your name. Of course, I'm Percy. I'm he Kati, I'm Sana. I'm Hiroshi. I'm, you know, Sakura, whatever your name is, okay. So I'm in your name, that pretty much tells the person who that you're like in the other previous version, you want them to remember your name, because you're putting your name and who you are in the beginning portion of your greeting. Now, the next part of that, which is also different, is what's your name? Because you want to ask them hey, this is me. My name is Percy. Or, or Sakura, or Hiroshi, or something like that. My name is this. My name is Percy. What's your name? Okay. Think about it. Really think about it. Your what you're trying to say is this is me. What's your name because I am really interested in knowing you in meeting you. And having a further relationship with you. I really want to make this connection. So I want to know your name quickly and early so I can remember it for the future. Okay, that's exactly what you're saying with this particular opening. Introduction. Hey, what's up? I'm Percy, what's your name? The What's your name? You really want to know? Hey, who are you? I'd like to know your name because I want to continue talking with you and create a social connection with you and possibly friendship. Okay, so that is the three opening introductions and ways to introduce yourself to three different age groups. I will go through them one more time for the older elder age group. That is the introduction of Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm Percy, the second age group, which is the outside of your social circle, or the, what I'd call normally outside of your social circle, which would include people such as friends, parents, persons that are older you that you meet at a grocery store, or teachers, professors, policemen or something like that, you would say, Hi, I'm Percy, nice to meet you. And the last group or the third group, are the people that are within your social group. Or they have the potential to be in your social group, which are your best friends, your friends, your classmates, people that you might meet online, people that you might go on a date with. something of that nature, your your friends, your friends, friends. They are friends that are you're being introduced to by other people. This is the type of opening introduction you'd want to use with them. What's up? Hey, what's up? I'm Percy, what's your name? Hey, what's up? I'm nanoka. What's your name? Hey, again, what's up? What's your name? This is a very informal, the most informal way to greet. But because it's so informal, it opens up your your ability to let that person into your social circle. And that's what you are communicating to them. you're communicating, Hey, welcome to my world, my social circle. This is my name. I really interested in learning your name, because I want to remember it. And I want to remember you. And it is a great way. Even though it sounds maybe a little harsh to someone, and maybe very informal, but it is a great way to add people to your social circle. Okay, man, I was it was so great talking to you today.
