In today's lesson, I'm going to be helping you master informal and formal introductions.

So whether you need to speak with a neighbor, who you might meet while you're taking a walk,

meet with a friend of a friend, meet somebody in the classroom, or with your boss or coworkers

and speak in English, you will be gaining the skills and the confidence today to be

able to have those introductions smoothly and naturally.

To help you with this, I have created a special little gift for you.

It could be anything, but usually, it's your common area that you have around you.

There are some informal introductions that are a little more direct.

Let's take a look at this situation where I'm meeting a friend of a friend.

If you go to a friend's house for a dinner party, whenever that happens again, and you

Let's take a look at this sample situation.

Dan: Oh, I've known Sarah for a long time.

Sarah's parents and my parents are longtime friends.

Vanessa: Oh, we went to college together.

Sometimes the conversation will flow naturally if you both went to the same college together,

or if you find a piece of information that you have in common, maybe you both have dogs,
