How to Introduce yourself in English

Summary

In this lesson, Teacher Tiffani shares the 18th secret to speaking English: how to introduce yourself like a native speaker. The introduction process is broken down into three parts: 'Life' (who you are, where you're from, and your character), 'Hobby' (what you enjoy, why you enjoy it, and when you do it), and 'Dream' (your future goals, when you want to achieve them, and why they matter). With clear examples and step-by-step guidance, learners can master the art of self-introduction in English, building confidence to speak like a native.
