Key takeaways
A basic self introduction follows a fixed order: name, origin, residence, family, study or work, hobbies, favorite things, and your reason for studying English.
The phrases 'I come from' and 'I live in' state your country of origin and your current city as two separate facts.
Family can be described with the pattern 'there are four people in my family,' followed by a list of each relationship.
Dislikes can be expressed at three levels of strength: 'I don't like,' 'I dislike,' and 'I hate.'

In what order should I watch these everyday English conversation videos?
This list is ordered to move from self introductions, to everyday topics like the supermarket, farm life, nature, cars and feelings, and finally to workplace English with a new team. Watching it in order means you practice introducing yourself before you handle longer conversations at work.
What everyday topics can I practice English conversation about?
The topics in this list include introducing yourself, shopping at the supermarket, life on a farm, nature and the seasons, talking about your car, describing feelings, and meeting a new team at work. They are all situations you can describe from your own life, which makes them easy to practice out loud.
Should my English self introduction change depending on the situation?
Yes, a self introduction sounds different at work than it does in a casual setting, which is why this list covers both adapting your intro to the setting and introducing yourself to a new team. Learning one flexible introduction and adjusting the details is more useful than memorizing a single script.
What should I do after watching English conversation videos on YouTube?
The most useful next step is to reuse the topics from the videos on your own life: describe your job, your car, the season where you live, and how you feel today, out loud. Speaking about familiar topics turns watched vocabulary into language you can actually produce in conversation.
How to use this list
Watch these videos in the order listed: they move from building and delivering a self introduction, to naming the things and places of daily life, to discussing feelings, and finally to conversations at work. Set aside a few sessions across a week and say each key phrase out loud as you hear it. If you are short on time, start with the first video from 7ESL Learning English, since every later lesson builds on the introduction skills it teaches in ten minutes.
