mmmEnglish lesson. I'm in London at the

moment and i decided to contact another

English teacher who has a channel on

YouTube! You might know her... Its Lucy

from English with Lucy! We are going to

meet together on camera so that you

can learn a little bit more about how to

introduce yourself in English! Hello! Hi! It's so nice

to meet you! Lovely to finally meet you. How

are you? I'm well, how are you? I'm good thank you. How are

you how are you finding London?

So far it has been incredible, like I've

been, you know, working really hard but also

having lots of fun as well. It's just

weather that's not quite my cup of tea!

It's not great! It's a bit grey at the moment. It's a little bit grey and a

little bit drizzly, a little bit cold for

me! I've (umm..) spend a few days up in Scotland

as well which was even colder, so

guess now... What's it like in Australia? At the moment, we're

just going into summer so it's starting to

get warm. Oooh I'm envious! I'm looking

forward to getting back there actually.

Do you live near the beach? I do, yeah! I live in melbourne

right near the beach.

yeah... And how long are you gonna stay here for?

Probably just another few days actually

so I've been here for about two weeks

already. Do you miss home?

Not really! It's nice to get out and explore

and see things and meet lots of new

people, like yourself! So... Yeah, I love traveling!

Do you? So

where have you been travelling recently?

Well, I used to live in Spain. I got to

see quite a lot of Spain, ummm... I haven't been

traveling recently.

Yeah... I did go on a holiday to Spain this

summer but i'm looking to move abroad

very soon!

Really? I'm looking to go back to Spain

very very soon! (That...) I would love to

visit Spain! I've never

been. Haven't you? No. Have you been to many other

countries? I have been... Yeah I've travelled quite

a lot. I have been to Greece so you know

warm beautiful beaches lovely in summer,

that kind of thing. Oh! I went to Greece this summer! I went to Kefalonia,

one of the islands. It is such a

gorgeous part of the world. The food! And the food! It's like

a mix of Greek and Italian food

together,

just my two favorites! The European

summer is lovely. It is... It's a shame about the winter!

I know! I'll make sure that I'm back

here for the summer next time! And you need to, you

need to visit Spain! Yes! Spain is my

favorite country in the world!

Yes, I know! It's been on my list for many

years. And the food there - if you like like the greek

food then you're going to love spanish food!

I'm a bit tired of eating spanish food in

restaurants anywhere else in the world

except in Spain! It's just not the same! It's not the same! And I'm looking

forward to having that my first proper

'siesta' as well!

Oh, have you never had one before? We need

to correct that! Not officially, no. So, I've seen

on your channel that you quite like

cooking!

Yes! How did you get into that? Well, to be honest, I learned a

lot of it from my my fiancé, Shah. So he

is an excellent cook and I guess when

you get in a relationship with someone,

you have to kind of 'up the ante'

a bit so he was a really good cook and I

need to impress him with my skills! Well,

cooking for one just, it's not

the same, is it? Actually, I'm awful at cooking

for one. I always make about six meals

worth and then I have to end up freezing it,

which is kind of helpful but I'm not good at cooking for one.

Well, I recently moved back with my

parents for a short while before moving

on to another

country and the best part of it

is being able to cook for three other

people! Oh!I thought you were going to say

that you (umm)... The best part about it is

you get (like) home-cooked meals every

night! I don't! I make them myself! You do it yourself?

Yeah! That's like my sort of

agreement! You can have me here, and I'll cook for you!

What's your specialty?

Well I did travel in Italy a little bit...

Actually, I didn't go to Italy, I went to Palermo in Sicily! And

they taught me how to make a mean risotto!

But i really like experimenting, so I kind of

ask my dad and my brother (because they're the most

appreciative!) "What do you fancy?" And then I try and

do it but with a twist!

So, if they want mexican, then I'll do some sort

of... I like to invent! We're quite opposite in that

sense. I'm very much like a find a really

good recipe and make the recipe. Oh really? See I like to find a

couple of recipes, take inspiration from

them and then rewrite it myself! That sounds

interesting and very exciting!

So, what's your number one recipe then? I love

cooking Thai food

actually! I do love a thai green curry! Do you? Yeah. But,

I find it hard to find a good paste.

Well I make all of my pastes myself!

So, that's why mine are so good! But yeah, it's all

about the paste, right? So you

cook that first, then you deal with the

rest of it. So, you must have lived in

quite a few countries then? I have, I've

definitely travelled and visited a few,

I've only lived in... I was born in

Australia and I've lived most of my life in

Australia but i have spent some time

living in Vietnam and also in Malaysia.

I've never been to Asia at all! Haven't you?

In fact, I have only ever left Europe twice.

Once was to go to Jamaica and once was to go to

Grenada. Oh, really? You're a

Caribbean kind of girl?

I've lived in, just in Spain. I lived in

Madrid and I lived in Seville. (Mmm..) Beautiful

part of the world!

and London and the countryside in England.

I'm from Bedfordshire. What's the countryside

like? So green that sometimes when i get off the train

I have to put my sunglasses on because it hurts my eyes!

It's beautiful! Lovely and spring and summer

Autumn is stunning because you get all of the fall of the leaves.

Yeah. And winter's nice. It does

snow, occasionally. Where I'm from it's

quite flat but if you go further, further

afield you can go down hills and everything.

Yeah, but I'm looking to live in some other

countries... Soon! Not sure... That's one of the

things that I love most about teaching

and meeting new people is there are so

many opportunities to, you know, travel and go to

different places, and places that you never really

expected to go either!

Yeah! I mean, it's journey, isn't it? You

just end up doing things that you never

ever imagined and meeting lots of random

people... Like you! Exactly! Running

into you in London! Okay Emma!

Well, I would love to show you my

neighborhood so why don't we get a

coffee?

yeah I'd love to have a little bit of a

walk around that sounds great! Let's do it!

And have a chat? Yeah! Okay!

Well, i hope you enjoyed that video about introducing

yourself to someone that you've never

met before!

So there was lots of small talk and

conversation topics that you can use

when you first meet someone! So if you

would like to continue the conversation

with Lucy and I, she has another video on

her YouTube channel: English with Lucy

You can find the link underneath this

video and in that video we're going to

be talking about our jobs and what we do!
