Lesson 3: Talking about myself
Hello ✨
Today’s class is about talking about yourself and asking simple questions.
You already know the basics — now we organize them and use them with confidence.
Slow English. Clear English. Real English.
🔹 Warm-up (Say it out loud)
Complete the sentences:
- My name is ___.
- I am ___ years old.
- I am from ___.
- Nice to meet you.
Say all four sentences.
🔹 Vocabulary & Chunks
These are your key sentences for real conversations:
- What is your name?
- My name is Maria.
- How old are you?
- I am 34 years old.
- Where are you from?
- I am from ___.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
Practice saying them slowly.
🔹 Grammar (Simple & Useful)
Pronoun: I
We use I to talk about myself.
Pronoun I + Verb to be: Contractions (Short Forms)
We make sentences shorter:
- I am → I’m
- I am not → I’m not
🔹 Three Types of Sentences
✅ Affirmative
- I am Maria. (long form)
- I’m Maria. (short form)
❌ Negative
- I am not Maria.
- I’m not Maria.
❓ Questions & Answers
- Am I tall?
- Yes, you are.
- No, you are not.
- No, you aren’t.
- Am I patient?
- Yes, you are.
- Are you patient?
- No, I am not.
🔹 Verb to be – Characteristics, Professions & Emotions
We use to be to talk about what and how we are and how we feel.
😊 Happy
- I am happy.
- I’m happy.

🔹 Pronunciation Focus – TH Sound
This sound does not exist in Spanish.
Put your tongue between your teeth (like zapato, softly).
Th Sound

Say them slowly. Don’t rush.
💛 Remember
You don’t need long sentences.
You need clear sentences.
And today, you learned how to say:
- who you are

That’s real progress ✨
