so that you can see model sentences that you can use

when you want to talk about yourself in English.

Well, hey, welcome to this English lesson

where you're going to learn how to talk about yourself

in English by listening to me talk about myself.

There are a few things that you might already know about me.

If you've watched any of my other English lessons,

you'll know that my favorite color is orange.

You might even know that I eat a banana almost every day.

and you might know that I speak two languages.

and the way you do it is by saying I'm afraid

I do not like climbing up to the top of tall things

then you would say things like I'm afraid of spiders

or I'm afraid of snakes or I'm afraid of mice.

I'm actually a little bit afraid of snakes.

When you are talking about yourself in English,

you'll want to use the same structure that I just used.

When you mention something that you don't like,

you'll want to mention something that you do like.

It just makes your conversation more interesting.

Anyways, when you are talking about yourself in English,

you'll often want to talk about things you don't like

but then immediately mention something that you do.

The fourth thing you might not know about me is this.
