And right now I'm gonna explain to you about a speaking problem that I have seen and heard far too many times since I came to Korea now it's a very easy phrase.

The simple phrase, nice to meet you.

Yeah, you probably know it.

You've probably said it.

But the problem is so many korean people don't understand when to really use the phrase Nice to meet you.

Because when you meet somebody new that means you told them your name.

They told you their name many times.

I'm just walking down the street, you know, I'm shopping or something.

And then the korean person says, hi, nice to meet you and I think I don't know your name.

I didn't tell you my name.

We didn't meet.

How can it be nice?

So if you look at the board right here, this here I am.

Bill.

Hi korean person.

Nice to meet you.

All right, There's no hi, my name is Bill.

My name is han Nice to meet you.

There's not that just Bill says hi korean person says nice to meet you, but we didn't meet each other.

You don't know my name.

I don't know your name.

Mm hmm.

Don't be that guy.

Okay.

The proper way to do this.

Now, here's a sample dialogue where you use the easy phrase, Nice to meet you properly.

It goes like this, Bill, No, that's me.

Bill says hi and then korean person says hello, my name is han oh, my name is Bill, Maybe we shake hands, Nice to meet you.

Yes, because you did meet me.

and then if there's one more, I say nice to meet you too because you met me I met you.

You said your name.

I said my name.

If you didn't learn the new person's name and you didn't tell them yours, you didn't meet them.

So it can't be nice to meet you.

Okay?

Remember that exchange names then Nice to meet you.

Don't just hi, nice to meet you because you didn't meet me yet.

I hope you can remember that and I hope it helps you see your next video and right now I'm just going to talk to you about a speaking problem that I've seen many of my students make many times.

Okay now two phrases here.

Now the first one is nice to meet you.

That's an easy phrase that many korean people know.

But I just want to remind you, we use nice to meet you when you meet a new person for the first time.

Okay?

Something like hello my name is john hello my name is tom nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

You tell someone your name, they tell you their name.

Nice to meet you because you learned each other's names.

That's when you say nice to meet you.

Now you need to remember that.

You only say nice to meet you the first time.

You meet that person.

Okay if you see them again two days later don't say hi nice to meet you because it's not your first meeting anymore.

Okay.

Some of my students, I've been teaching them for over a month right now, but I still walk into the classroom and they're like, Bill, nice to meet you.

And I just think to myself, you see me every day and we've, we met each other a long time ago.

Now.

If it's not the first time you're meeting someone, if it's someone you're seeing again, nice to see you, okay.

It's not nice to meet you.

You don't say nice to meet you to your friends who you see many times.

All right.

But if you see your friends on the weekend, nice to see you because nice to meet you, you only get to do that once.

That's the first time you meet a new person for your friends and other people always nice to see you.

Okay.

I hope you can remember the difference.

I hope this is helpful and I hope you don't say nice to meet you too.

People you met a long time ago.

Uh, see you next video.

Mhm.

Mhm, mm hmm.
