Stop Saying "My Name Is" — Fix Your English Intro | English Podcast

🎧 "Hello, my name is..." — stop saying this in 2026. This English podcast shows you how to introduce yourself naturally with a simple 4-step template — no textbooks, no robot voice. It sounds like a corporate robot. When you say it, the other person's eyes glaze over. They smile, but they're already looking for the exit. Today, Josh and Emma give you a simple four-step template to make your introduction sound natural and confident — no resume reciting, no stiff textbook phrases. What you'll learn: • Step 1: The Confident Greeting — why "I'm" beats "I am" every time • Step 2: The Origin Transition — turn "I'm from Spain" into a conversation starter • Step 3: The Present-Past-Future Formula — 3 sentences that replace your whole CV • Step 4: Zoomed-In Hobbies — ban "my hobby is" forever + the Ping-Pong rule Also included: Vocabulary Unwind — 6 words explained simply (credentials, glaze over, dry, back-and-forth, generic, bait). This episode is for B1 (intermediate) English learners. Beginners welcome — we go slow and explain hard words as we go. 📄 Free PDF transcript: https://tinyurl.com/Fix-Your-English-... 💬 Drop a comment: What's your go-to greeting when you meet someone new?
