Sometimes [Music] hello and welcome to City K. I'm Kristin Cho. Thank you so much for joining me on this program. So we're going to learn a little business English. Because the more business English we learn, we're going to have some very practical...

Even if you don't work at an office, we're going to learn some useful, really practical English expressions, phrases, and patterns. All right, so we're going to start with the main dialogue. Let's check out the main dialogue for today. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Brown.

Mr. Kim, a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Kim [Music] Say this in English? Well, let's find out. Alrighty, so Mr. Kim says, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Brown." Okay, very easy. And Mr. Brown says, "A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kim." It's the same thing, like "It's nice to..."

"It's a pleasure." "Please call me Bob." Okay, so we have some great patterns here. First of all, "It's nice to do something." "It's nice to meet you." "Oh, nice to meet you, too." We're going to find some other ways to say that. So, "It's a pleasure." "It's great."

"It's wonderful." So, Mr. Brown says, "A pleasure to meet you." "It's nice to meet you." "A pleasure to meet you." "Nice to meet you, sir." So, just make it short. It's a totally fine sentence in itself. "Please call me Bob." Because, first name basis, first name...

...creates a closer relationship. "Please call me Bob." Um... it's a little bit formal. And so he's like, "Just call me Bob." Very casual, more friendly. Okay, let's look at that whole dialogue one more time. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Brown." "A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kim."

Oh, please call me Bob. All right, great. So that is our main dialogue. Let's go one step further and look at some key sentences or patterns or phrases. Here's the first one, it's a key pattern: "It's nice to..." All right, it's kind of boring.

It's nice to meet you. Check this out, I'm going to show you some other ways that you can use, that mean the same thing. So here we go: "It's great to..." It's so good, great. "It's good to meet you." It's

great to meet you, or you could say, "It's a pleasure to meet you," or see you. All right. "It's a pleasure to..." Okay, the word 'pleasure' is something that's very friendly. "It's wonderful to..." Good result. "It's wonderful to meet you." "It's wonderful to see you."

Guys, [Music] you have to be more dramatic. So, "It's nice to meet you." Oh, "It's great to meet you!" Oh, "It's a pleasure to meet you!" And then, "It's wonderful to meet you!" Let's move on to the next one, please.

"Please call me..." So, "My name is... but please call me Chris." [Laughter] "But please call me Kristen." "Well, my name is Chun-hi, but please call me June." Okay, here's another example: "My name is Matthew, but please call me Matt." Matthew, well, Christopher, Chris. Well, Richard, Hammond, Bob. All right, so Elizabeth, Liz.  Mobeth, Judicious.

So when you say that, it's kind of being friendly and wanting them to be, like, wanting the other person to be more comfortable. Because, "My name is... but..." "My name is... but please call me Young."

My name is Toddy. Please call me Sally. All right, good. So, we've got those key sentences and patterns and expressions. So, keep that in mind and now let's move on to shadowing. All right, it's time for my special and favorite segment today. Uh, it is called

shadowing. [Music] Here we're going to practice twice. Are you guys ready? All right, let's go! It's nice to meet you, Mr. Brown. A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kim. Oh, please call me Bob. All right, let's do that one more time.

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Brown. A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kim. Oh, please call me Bob. Nice! All righty, so, uh, good job. Now let's see if you remember these uh sentences in detail. Here's, this is a little quiz for you. Are you guys ready? Let's do it!

Excellent job, guys! Bravo! So how did you enjoy today's? I hope you learned some great expressions. Just as a quick review: It's nice to do something. Nick, that's totally fine. It's great, too. It's a pleasure. More, it's wonderful to eat in the kitchen.

So get used to it. [Music] Yes, we're going to upgrade our English as much as you can. And remember, "Please call me." So if you have a Korean name and you have an English name, well, an English name is easier to remember, so you can use that expression: "Please call me"

Please call me Myeong-hee. Okay, you can call me Kristen, whatever you want. Okay, that's it for today. Have a wonderful day, guys, and join me again soon. Take care, bye-bye!
