México
El primer vídeo lo quise compartir en el blog de inglés porque el siguiente paso para una conversación con un extranjero tendría que ser hablar sobre nuestro país y ya que soy de nacionalidad mexicana decidí empezar dando información a mis paisanos sobre el lugar donde vivimos.
También busque información sobre nuestra bandera pero hay muchas anécdotas sobre su origen por lo cuál prefiero guardar esa publicación hasta que encuentre una versión más fidedigna, por el momento me limitaré a dejar algunas imágenes que identifiquen la región y la bandera que representa a México.
El segundo vídeo que es el más acorde al blog les brindará información en inglés acerca de México.
Espero que les agraden y compartan la información si lo consideran útil. ¡hasta pronto!

Fue una mujer estadounidense a quien se atribuye popularmente el diseño de la bandera de Estados Unidos, con trece bandas blancas y rojas representando las Trece Colonias, y con trece estrellas blancas representando lo mismo.
*The Star-Spangled Banner
('La bandera tachonada de estrellas')
es el himno nacional de los Estados Unidos de América. Oficialmente fue adoptado en 1931, aunque su origen se remonta casi hasta la época de la independencia.

Lesson Transcript
Intro | |
|---|---|
| Imagine you're on a plane. There's someone next to you. What do you say? | |
| Hi. Alisha here. | |
| Introducing yourself in English is easy. In this lesson, you're going to learn how with Gustavo and Henry, who meet on a plane | |
| Gustavo's moving to New York. His family is going to join him later in the month. Henry is in the seat when Gustavo gets on the plane. | |
| Let's watch! | |
| Dialogues | |
Gustavo:
| Excuse me. |
Henry:
| Sorry about that! |
Gustavo:
| Hi! How do you do? I'm Gustavo. |
Henry:
| Nice to meet you, Gustavo. I'm Henry Eddins. |
Gustavo:
| I'm sorry. Can you say that again, please? A bit slowly? |
Henry:
| Henry Eddins. |
Henry:
| That's it. But please call me Hank. |
Gustavo:
| Hank. Nice to meet you. |
Henry:
| Nice to meet you, too. |
| Now, with subtitles! | |
Gustavo:
| Excuse me. |
Henry:
| Sorry about that! |
Gustavo:
| Hi! How do you do? I'm Gustavo. |
Henry:
| Nice to meet you, Gustavo. I'm Henry Eddins. |
Gustavo:
| I'm sorry. Can you say that again, please? A bit slowly? |
Henry:
| Henry Eddins. |
Henry:
| That's it. But please call me Hank. |
Gustavo:
| Hank. Nice to meet you. |
Henry:
| Nice to meet you, too. |
| Vocab | |
| Here are the key words from the scene. | |
| Hi (slow) Hi. | |
| but (slow) but. | |
| Excuse me. (slow) Excuse me. | |
| too (slow) too. | |
| Nice to meet you. (slow) Nice to meet you. | |
| How do you do? (slow) How do you do? | |
| Rio (slow) Rio | |
| Phrase Usage | |
Alisha:
| How did Henry apologize when he realized he was in Gustavo's way? |
Henry:
| Sorry about that. |
Brandon:
| Sor-ry a-bout that. |
Alisha:
| In general, this expression, when used to respond to "Excuse me," shows a friendly willingness to help the other person. |
Alisha:
| In this case, Henry wanted to show he was happy to move out of Gustavo's way. |
Alisha:
| You can also use it to apologize for a small mistake, like bumping into someone on the street, or blocking someone's way in the aisle of a supermarket. |
Alisha:
| Now you try! Say Henry's line after Gustavo speaks. |
| (FREEZE and CUE) | |
Henry:
| Sorry about that. |
Alisha:
| Later, Gustavo also used the word 'sorry' to apologize when he didn't understand Henry's name. Which phrase did he use? |
Gustavo:
| I'm sorry. |
Brandon:
| (slow) I'm sorry. |
Alisha:
| This is a very common phrase in English for many situations, but here Gustavo uses it to indicate he didn't understand something. |
Alisha:
| Now you try! Say the line after Henry speaks. |
| (FREEZE and CUE) | |
Gustavo:
| I'm sorry. |
Alisha:
| Because Gustavo did not understand something, he asked Henry to repeat what he said. To do this, what polite question did he use? |
Gustavo:
| Can you say that again, please? |
Brandon:
| (Say this slowly) Can you say that again, please? |
Alisha:
| In response, English speakers will usually repeat what they have said, and will use the same words. |
Alisha:
| Now you try! Ask the question after Gustavo says "I'm sorry." |
| (FREEZE and CUE) | |
Gustavo:
| Can you say that again, please? |
Alisha:
| Gustavo also wanted Henry to speak more slowly. To do this, what does he ask? |
Gustavo:
| A bit slowly? |
Brandon:
| (A bit slowly!) A bit slowly? |
Alisha:
| This is not a complete sentence, but has a clear meaning when used after "Can you say that again, please?" In response English speakers will slow their speech down. |
Alisha:
| Now you try! Say the phrase after Gustavo says "Can you say that again, please?" |
| (FREEZE and CUE) | |
Gustavo:
| A bit slowly? |
Alisha:
| After Gustavo said Henry's name, Henry confirmed he said it correctly. How did he do that? |
Henry:
| That's it. |
Brandon:
| (slow) That's it. |
Alisha:
| This is like saying, "That's correct," but since the situation was friendly, "That's it" sounded more natural. |
Alisha:
| Now you try! Say the phrase after Gustavo says Henry's name correctly. |
| (FREEZE and CUE) | |
Henry:
| That's it. |
| Focus | |
Alisha:
| Do you remember how Gustavo introduced himself? |
Gustavo:
| Hi! How do you do? I'm Gustavo. |
Alisha:
| When Gustavo introduced himself, he started with "Hi!" and then used a set phrase |
Gustavo:
| How do you do? |
Brandon:
| (Slow) How do you do? |
Alisha:
| This is a polite expression people often use with an introduction. It sounds like a question, but it has no particular meaning, and there's no expectation the other person will try to answer it. |
Alisha:
| Next, he says |
Brandon:
| I'm Gustavo. |
Alisha:
| The first part of this sentence is a contraction of two words, "I" and "am." The "am" here functions like an equals sign in math. |
Brandon:
| I'm |
Brandon:
| (slow) I'm |
Alisha:
| The next word in the sentence is a name. |
Brandon:
| Gustavo. |
Alisha:
| Together it's |
Brandon:
| I'm Gustavo. |
Alisha:
| The structure of the pattern is |
Brandon:
| Hi! How do you do? I'm |
Alisha:
| PLUS your name |
Alisha:
| Now you try! Imagine your name is John. Say "Hi! How do you do? I'm John." |
Brandon:
| (PAUSE) Hi! How do you do? I'm John. |
Alisha:
| Now, imagine your name is Aiko. Say "Hi! How do you do? I'm Aiko." |
Brandon:
| (PAUSE) Hi! How do you do? I'm Aiko. |
Alisha:
| Now use your own name. |
Alisha:
| Ok, there are two additional things you need to know. First, there's a shortcut for giving your name. |
Alisha:
| Just drop the "I'm" from the final sentence of the self-introduction. |
Alisha:
| For example, if Gustavo just said |
Brandon:
| Hi! How do you do? Gustavo. |
Alisha:
| Henry would have understood it was his name. |
Alisha:
| This would be especially clear if Gustavo extended his hand for a handshake while saying this. |
Alisha:
| In very casual situations you can even drop the "Hi! and the "How do you do?" All that is left would be your name. |
Alisha:
| The second thing you need to know is, you can use "I'm" with just the first name, or your first name and last name together. |
Henry:
| I'm Henry Eddins. |
Alisha:
| Eddins is Henry's family name. |
Alisha:
| Using both your first name and your last name is a little more formal. |
Alisha:
| It also gives you less privacy. For example, if people know both your first and last name, they can find you on the Internet more easily. |
Alisha:
| So it may be MORE common for strangers to say just their first name than people meeting in a more friendly environment. |
Alisha:
| Next, you'll learn how to tell people to call you by a nickname, just like Henry did in the scene. |
Henry:
| But please call me Hank. |
Brandon:
| (slow) But please call me Hank. |
Alisha:
| The first word in the sentence is |
Brandon:
| But |
Alisha:
| This word is not necessary, but it makes the transition to the rest of the sentence smoother. |
Alisha:
| Henry uses this to introduce a new piece of information. |
Alisha:
| And this information changes something about what he said before. "But" makes this clear. |
Alisha:
| The next word introduces a polite request. |
Brandon:
| Please |
Brandon:
| (slow) Please |
Alisha:
| Next is a request to use a certain name. |
Brandon:
| call |
Brandon:
| (slow) call |
Alisha:
| After this is the word |
Brandon:
| me |
Brandon:
| (slow) me |
Alisha:
| Last is a common nickname for men named Henry. |
Brandon:
| Hank |
Brandon:
| (slow) Hank |
Brandon:
| Please call me Hank. |
Alisha:
| The sentence structure is |
Brandon:
| Please call me |
Alisha:
| plus your nick name |
Alisha:
| Now you try! Imagine your nickname is Matt. Say "Please call me Matt." |
| [Pause] | |
Brandon:
| Please call me Matt |
Alisha:
| Now, imagine your nickname is Lulu, say "Please call me Lulu." |
| [Pause] | |
Brandon:
| Please call me Lulu. |
Alisha:
| Now use your own nickname. Say "please call me" and then use your nickname. |
| [pause] | |
Alisha:
| Finally, when you meet someone for the first time, it's polite to say a set phrase at the end. |
Gustavo:
| Nice to meet you. |
Brandon:
| (Slow) Nice to meet you. |
Alisha:
| Usually, both people will say this or something similar to it. |
| Now you try. | |
Brandon:
| Nice to meet you. |
| Practice | |
Alisha:
| Let's practice! |
Alisha:
| This is your chance to to introduce yourself. Try to remember what you learned and practice by speaking aloud! |
Alisha:
| It's your first day in the U.S., and you're meeting your new neighbor. Ready? Here we go. |
Alisha:
| What's the first thing you say to someone you've just met? |
| (5 second pause) | |
Brandon:
| Hi! How do you do? |
Alisha:
| How do you tell someone your name? |
| (5 second pause) | |
Brandon:
| I'm [NAME] |
Henry:
| Nice to meet you. I'm Henry Eddins. |
Alisha:
| How do you tell someone your nickname? |
| (5 second pause) | |
Brandon:
| Please call me [Your nickname] |
Henry:
| Please call me Hank. |
Alisha:
| What's the last thing you say to someone you've just met? |
| (5 second pause) | |
Brandon:
| Nice to meet you. |
Alisha:
| Great job! You've just introduced yourself! You'll follow this same pattern many times, so be sure to practice it. |
Outro | |
| Well done! | |
| Now, watch the scene one more time. After that, | |
| go and practice with all your American friends — or with us in the comments! | |
| Bye. | |
