Today we're gonna talk about introductions.

今日は自己紹介について話そう。

法助動詞 A2

とても難しいことだとわかっている。

I recently attended a conference where everybody asked me what do you do, where are you from, who are you basically.

最近、ある会議に出席したんだけど、そこでみんなに、あなたは何をやっているのか、どこから来たのか、基本的には誰なのかと聞かれたんだ。

Today we're gonna learn some phrases that are gonna help you in this situation so please watch this video up to the very end because we're not only going to go through phrases that you can use, we're also going to come up with little monologues that you can use and as a language learner what I've realized in the past you know 20 years since I've started learning English I've realized that memorizing certain templates and certain structures actually helps your brain a lot in stressful situations.

このビデオでは、使えるフレーズだけでなく、ちょっとしたモノローグも紹介します。言語学習者として、私が英語を学び始めてから20年、ある種のテンプレートやある種の構造を暗記することは、ストレスの多い状況において、実際に脳を大いに助けてくれると実感しました。

So the next time you interact with native speakers and they ask you something you will have a template in your head that you can use right away.

そうすれば、次にネイティブ・スピーカーと交流して何かを聞かれたときに、すぐに使えるテンプレートが頭の中にあるはずだ。

So let's dive into introductions in English.

では、英語での自己紹介に飛び込もう。

Now one of the things that you have to into three different groups.

今、3つのグループに分けなければならないことがある。

The first group is informal conversations.

最初のグループはインフォーマルな会話だ。

Basically you're chatting with your friend.

基本的にあなたは友人とチャットをしている。

The second group semi-formal and here you know it depends on where you are but for example in the U.S. when I go to a creator's conference and meet people who represent brands or other creators I think it's semi-formal because we're not 100% friends right away but we're not too formal and when we talk about formal situations basically when you interact with government officials or when you are interviewing for a job.

2つ目のグループはセミフォーマルで、これは場所にもよりますが、例えばアメリカではクリエイターのカンファレンスに行って、ブランドや他のクリエイターの代表の人たちと会うときはセミフォーマルだと思います。

So we're gonna go through phrases for all of these situations.

だから、これらすべてのシチュエーションに対応するフレーズを見ていくことにしよう。

So when you need to introduce yourself first thing is it a formal situation such as a business meeting or is it an informal situation like a party?

では、最初に自己紹介をする必要があるのは、商談のようなフォーマルな場面なのか、それともパーティーのようなインフォーマルな場面なのか。

We start the introduction with a greeting.

Let's look at some phrases that we might use in more formal situations.

フォーマルな場面で使うフレーズを見てみよう。

At the beginning of formal events for example business meetings or interviews or formal dinners or even class use greetings like hello good morning good afternoon and good evening.

ビジネスミーティングや面接、フォーマルな夕食会、あるいは授業など、フォーマルなイベントの冒頭では、「こんにちは」「おはようございます」「こんにちは」「こんにちは」「こんばんは」などの挨拶を使う。

If it's an interview you can say good morning thank you for considering me for this role.

面接であれば、おはようございます、この職務に私を考慮していただきありがとうございます、と言うことができる。

Then we have semi-formal greetings and this is where your mind can be free.

そしてセミフォーマルな挨拶があり、ここで心が自由になる。

This is a slightly less formal way to say hello but still more appropriate than just saying hey when you talk to your co-workers who you don't know very well.

これは少し堅苦しくない挨拶の仕方だが、よく知らない同僚と話すときに「やあ」と言うよりはまだ適切だ。

あるいは、ただ "おはよう "と言ってもいい。

It's a more casual way of saying good morning.

よりカジュアルな「おはよう」の言い方だ。

今、最も人気があるのは明らかにHiだ。

Then you can say hey, heya, hey there, what's up is my favorite, how's it going, how are you doing.

It's common in more informal language to leave out grammar words in greetings.

挨拶で文法用語を省くのは、よりインフォーマルな言語ではよくあることだ。

How are you doing often changes to how are you doing which is more informal.

How are you doingがHow are you doingに変わることはよくある。

Hey everyone, I'm thrilled to join this community.

やあ、みんな。このコミュニティーに参加できて感激しているよ。

Now let's talk about general information.

では、一般的な情報について話そう。

Of course the first thing you want to talk about is your name.

もちろん、最初に話したいのは自分の名前だ。

So you can say pleased to meet you, my name is Marina or just I'm Marina.

だから、はじめまして、私の名前はマリーナです、あるいはただマリーナです、と言ってください。

You can also say I don't think we've met, may I introduce myself or hello it's a pleasure to meet you I'm Marina.

初対面だと思うのですが、自己紹介させていただいてもいいですか」「はじめまして、マリーナです。

Now it's funny so a lot of people in the U.S. know me as Silicon Valley Girl.

面白いことに、アメリカでは多くの人がシリコンバレー・ガールとして私を知っている。

So sometimes I introduce myself which is kind of funny I tell people I'm Silicon Valley Girl and they're like oh yes I've seen your videos but then I tell them you can call me Marina this is my actual name.

だから時々、シリコンバレー・ガールですと自己紹介するんだけど、ちょっと面白いんだ。

So if you have a nickname online and people might know you by that nickname feel free to use it.

だから、もしあなたがネット上でニックネームを持っていて、人々がそのニックネームであなたを知っているかもしれないなら、遠慮なくそれを使ってください。

It's kind of funny that I have three personalities and sometimes when I realize that the environment is very international I can say I'm Lingua Marina and people are like oh yeah Lingua Marina and some people still think my name is Lingua and I'm like no my name is Marina so you can call me Marina.

私は3つの人格を持っていて、時々、その環境がとても国際的であることに気づいたとき、私はリンガ・マリーナだと言うと、人々はああ、そう、リンガ・マリーナだと言う。

I'm Silicon Valley Girl but my friends call me Marina.

私はシリコンバレー・ガールだけど、友達からはマリーナと呼ばれている。

By the way in North America people often use first names right from the start and the mood is very relaxed.

ちなみに北米では最初からファーストネームを使うことが多く、雰囲気はとてもリラックスしている。

This really surprised me when I first came to the U.S. and you know I was talking to formal venture investors and they're like yeah I'm Sam I'm like okay mister no no no Sam.

初めてアメリカに来て、正式なベンチャー投資家たちと話しているときに、彼らはこう言ったんだ......ああ、僕はサムだ......オーケー、ミスター......いやいや、サムだ。

So everything is really informal and really relaxed that doesn't mean that people don't take this meeting seriously they do it's just the nature of formal and business communication in the U.S. is very friendly.

だから、すべてが本当にインフォーマルで、本当にリラックスしている。だからといって、人々がこのミーティングを真剣に受け止めていないという意味ではない。

In other places though they might be more formal and use titles and last until they get to know you better.

しかし、他の場所ではもっとフォーマルで、肩書きを使い、あなたのことをもっとよく知るまで続くかもしれない。

In the USA there's an emphasis on personal space and this can affect greetings.

アメリカではパーソナルスペースが重視され、それが挨拶に影響することがある。

A firm handshake is standard but respecting personal space is important.

固い握手は標準的だが、パーソナルスペースを尊重することは重要だ。

Another fun story I've recently met a very important businessman from India in the U.S. and again I'm used to this culture now so I did a firm handshake he was like no what you need to do is give me a because in India the culture is completely different.

もうひとつ面白い話があるんだ。最近、インドから来たとても重要なビジネスマンにアメリカで会ったんだけど、この文化にはもう慣れたからしっかりと握手をしたんだ。

So I want you to understand that there are cultural differences but don't think of them too much you will basically understand what's going on once you are in the situation and that Indian businessman was really kind to just explain everything to me and when I said goodbye I made sure that I did it the correct way and we kind of laughed at it.

そのインド人ビジネスマンは本当に親切で、ただ私にすべてを説明してくれた。

I think it was pretty cool but again when I first came to the U.S. and people were shaking my hand and men were shaking my hand in a strong manner I was like wow some people actually say it's a power move so the stronger the handshake is the more energy that person has so you know it's up to you what you're gonna do but remember that about the U.S. and other cultures and other cultures might stand closer or greet each other with a kiss on the cheek and that happens in France and they do two kisses on both cheeks and I just came back from France where people were doing that to me all the time even people who I met for the first time and again for me it was like you know in the U.S. we'll never do that so the first couple times I was a little bit nervous like what's going on but then again I got used to it this is this country everybody kisses each other and that's fine.

でも、初めてアメリカに来たとき、握手されたとき、男の人たちは強い態度で握手してきた。フランスでは両頬にキスをするんだ。僕はフランスから帰ってきたばかりだけど、初めて会った人たちでさえ、みんな僕にそうしてくれたよ。
