Introducing Yourself Phrases

Hello, it's Allison here from Learning British Accent. Comm. Hello, welcome to my latest video. Today, I thought we'd go over some conversation phrases, and the topic I'd like to start with is introducing yourself phrases. So, these are phrases that you will use if you want to introduce yourself or if you're here if someone else is introducing you to a colleague or a friend or someone else they know. So, it's quite useful to know these sort of stop phrases so you can call on them whenever you want to find yourself in that situation.

So, when you are about to be introduced or you want to introduce yourself to someone, remember it's polite to possibly shake hands with them when you introduce yourself. Remember to smile, and although it's quite common in some European countries, we don't usually sort of kiss on the cheek as an introduction. I will see that situation dependent. If you're in the arts, perhaps that's more common, but generally, we don't tend to do that. So, you'll find yourself introducing yourself in different situations. Some of them may be quite informal, and if they are, they might be you're meeting a friend of a friend in a bar or restaurant or a party, and so what you'll probably use is just, "Hi, I'm Allison, pleased to meet you," just really simple, basic, straight to the point.

But in more formal situations, you might want to use some more formal phrasing. So, you could use, "Can I introduce myself? My name is Allison," or, "May I introduce myself? I'm Allison," "Let me introduce myself. My name's Allison," or, "I don't think we've met. I'm Allison." So, can I introduce myself, may I introduce myself, let me introduce myself, I don't think we've met. So, if you're making contact with someone you don't know, what to say? You're at a conference and you're hoping to meet someone, you're expecting to meet someone but you're not quite sure who they are, you might find these phrases quite helpful.

So, you could say, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Smith? My name is Alison." "Hello, you must be Mr. Smith. Nice to meet you. I'm Alison." "How do you do? I don't think we've been introduced." So, we could say, "Excuse me, are you whatever the name is?" "Hello, you must be whatever the name is. Nice to meet you. I'm Alison," or straightforward, "How do you do?" and "I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Alison." Now, if you're introducing others, these are some expressions that you might want to use.

"Barbara, this is Jack." So, you can introduce them, "Hello, please meet," "Have you met," "I'd like you to meet," "I'd like to introduce you," and "Jack, this is Barbara." "Barbara, this is Jack."

So, when you're introduced, say, "Nice to meet you," "Pleased to meet you," "Happy to meet you," "How do you do?" Now, in conversation, to keep the conversation going, we usually, after this introduction, it is quite friendly and polite to follow it up with a question to show you're interested in the person, to show that you want to continue with the conversation. So, you supplement your introduction with a very simple question like, "Do you come here often?" "How long have you been here?" or, "Isn't the weather awful?" The weather is always a good one to fall back on.
