🎙 Soul Radio English Challenge Series Day 20: 3 Steps to Create a Self-Introduction in English | Speak Fluently with Junior High School English!
1️⃣ First, let's write down your self-introduction in Japanese
Even if you want to introduce yourself in English,
it's surprisingly hard to get the words out when you actually open your mouth.
Let's start by writing down the material in Japanese.
The items you write down can be simple.
• Name
• Where you live
• Hobbies or things you like
• Dreams or goals
• What you are working hard on now
🖊️ Example: In Hero-san's case
My name is Hiroshi Suzuki. I live in Sendai.
I like traveling and trying new foods.
I am currently studying English on StandFM.
My dream is to travel around the world and live abroad.
To achieve that, I am working hard on my online business.
⸻
2️⃣ Feed it to ChatGPT and convert it to junior high school English
Next, let's ask ChatGPT like this👇
“Please convert this text into junior high school level English.”
Then, it will convert it like this.
Hello, my name is Hiroshi.
I live in Sendai, Japan.
I love traveling and trying new foods.
I’m 65 years old, but I feel young at heart.
Life is 100 years, so I’m just getting started!
I’m learning English again and having fun on StandFM.
My dream is to travel around the world and live abroad.
So I’m working hard on my online business to make it happen.
There are no difficult words, so it's easy to remember!
Junior high school English is also smooth to speak out loud.
⸻
3️⃣ Practice by speaking out loud
Finally, practice by speaking out loud.
• Slowly (focusing on the words)
• Normal speed (pausing between sentences)
• Faster (like a conversation)
If you practice in these 3 stages,
your mouth will gradually start moving naturally.
✅ Points
• Smiling while looking in the mirror builds confidence
• Recording yourself and listening to your own voice shows your growth
• If you speak it out loud once a day, you'll be fluent in a week!

What about you?(How about you?)
Where are you from?(Where are you from?)
What do you like to do?(What do you like to do?)
Step 4: Giving a reaction
Once the other person answers, give a reaction.
Nice to meet you!(Nice to meet you)
