This time, we will use the lyrics of "💿【1】What's Your Name?," featured in DWE Blue, and the contents of the corresponding "📙BOOK1" as seeds to cultivate the seeds of learning "English at Home"📝🌱

1 Introduction of the venue

The song in "【1】What's Your Name?" is:When meeting someone for the first time, "asking each other's names"is.

During early childhood, children become better at communicating with others,Create opportunities to communicate in EnglishThat is,An opportunity to develop your child's curiosity about EnglishIt can also be used.

At homeIncorporate self-introduction into pretend playI also recommend it 😸

2 Learn grammar

🌸Interrogative word What🌸

Example 1) What's your name?

🌸Be verb🌸 

Example 2) What's your name?
Example 3) My name is Mickey.

(DWE - Quote from "Sing Along")

3 Column ~Self-introduction 1~

~Learn to use "My name is ..." and "I'm ..."!~


What would you answer if someone asked you "What's your name?" in English?
I think many people use expressions like "My name is ~." or "I'm ~."
Both mean "My name is ____," but by using these two expressions appropriately, you can give a more natural impression that suits the other person.

What is the difference between "My name is ~." and "I'm ~."?

(1) “My name is Yume Mama.”
This expression is used in more formal situations.
It is often used when you want to show respect to the other person, such as when introducing yourself to someone of higher rank or when speaking with someone you meet for the first time in business.
Also, full names are used, and company names and affiliations are often added.
This expression is used in more formal situations.
Example) My name is Yume Mama. I'm a Bestie's member.

(2) “I’m Yume.”
This is a friendly and casual expression.
It is often used when meeting friends for the first time or at school.
If you are speaking in a casual setting, just your first name is fine.
Example) Hi! I'm Yume. Nice to meet you.

Other ways to say your name

There are a few other ways to introduce yourself.
Some of you may have heard it in movies or TV dramas.

(3) "This is ____."
This expression is used when telling someone your name when confirming a reservation at a restaurant or hospital, etc.
It is also often used on the telephone.
In this case too, full names are often used.

Example: Hello! This is Yuka Saito speaking. (If calling by phone)

(4) “It’s △△.”
This is a common expression used when the other person cannot see you.
For example, if you're standing on the other side of a door and can't see the person, knock and say, "It's Mike!"
In this case too, full names are often used.

Example) (knock knock) It's James. May I come in?

[Phrases used together when introducing yourself]

・Nice to meet you.
(nice to meet you)

・It's a pleasure to meet you.
(Nice to meet you)

・ Call me □□.
(Please call me □□)


In any situation, first impressions are very important!
One of the joys of raising bilingual kids is observing how your child introduces themselves and in what situations.

4 Secrets of Practice

Click on the author to see their profile

✅Create opportunities to communicate with foreign teachers

If you go to a DWE event, you will have the chance to talk with foreign teachers 👉

At that time,Once they are able to introduce themselves, create a successful experience of "I was able to communicate!"You can.

In my family, we would go to an English event on the weekend about once every two months to create an opportunity to communicate with teachers.

These events are a great opportunity to put English into practice,It's a good idea to gradually adjust your self-introduction so that you can speak itI think so.

✅ Templates for when you're having trouble greeting someone

When introducing yourself,

  • name
  • age
  • Birthplace
  • Family composition
  • hobby
  • Favorite food

If you can use these as conversation topics, you will be able to enjoy events where you can interact with foreigners.

"Maybe I should try to remember the greetings."


If you think this way, you have probably just started raising your child with English.

For children who have just started raising their children in English,“It is also necessary to make efforts to make people want to communicate in English and speak English.is.

for example…

🩵 For children aged 4 to 5 🩵

Around the age of 4 or 5, some children start to want to know the purpose of speaking English.

👧"Why do I have to study English?"
👦 "I don't have any friends who speak English!"

Some parents may be troubled if their child says something like this to them.

It is important for children of this age to have English as their native language (unconsciously and intuitively) and to combine it with their interests so that they can experience the joy of English every day.This is what happens.

To that end, first try to get some input on greetings and then enjoy yourself at events where you can interact with foreigners🌸

💚 For children aged 2 to 3 years 💚

On the other hand, children aged 2 to 3 are unlikely to question the social necessity of English.

👧 "Mom is speaking differently than usual"
👦 "I'm trying to read a different picture book than usual."

etc.This is the age when children are prone to feeling anxious about things that are "different from normal."is.

At this age, children are forming attachments with their parents.The presence of a mother is a "safe base"It has become.

It is a "safe and secure base"Your child may feel anxious when you speak differently than usual.That's right 😿

So, the best time to speak in English isIt is best to do this when your child is relaxed (in the bath, before going to bed, or right after waking up).I think so❣️💭


It is important to expose students to English when they are in a relaxed state and make them think, "English is fun!"is.

At first, it's fine to just say "good night" or "good sleep" when going to bed☺️

Once you get used to it
Reading picture books aloud is also recommended.
📙

💟Picture books you can enjoy even if you don't understand English
💟 Simple sensory picture books or books with a lot of repetition
💟 A picture book with rhythmic sounds that you can enjoy like listening to music.

I recommend it 📙💕

・Play a CD of a picture book being read aloud
- Play bedtime reviews to create a relaxing English mode

I think it's best to start with something that's easy to implement, such as:

Try to input greetings naturally in this flow!

✅Have fun learning through songs

Have you ever heard that the right brain is dominant during infancy?

Because the right brain is responsible for the senses, infants have a better ability to acquire language sensorily than adults.

One way to utilize this ability and acquire English intuitively is toHow to learn through songsYes 💡

🎵 "Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake,
Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig 🎵

...I'm sure there are many people who have had the experience of learning the 12 zodiac signs through songs, even in Japanese.

In this way,The presence of music helps you remember things intuitivelyThere is 🎼

Music stimulates the right brain, so singing along to English songs can help you acquire English more intuitively.

Because greetings are such a monotonous topic, I want to connect with them in a fun and sensory way through songs! 😊
