But now, let's get started with the

1:31

lesson. So, in this lesson, you're going

1:33

to listen to two dialogues. The first

1:35

one is going to be fairly simple. You'll

1:38

hear two people introducing themselves

1:41

at a cheese convention. This is my dad's

2:28

the person before. They're just polite

2:30

introductory phrases. If you want to

2:32

introduce someone else, you might say,

2:35

"I'd like to introduce my colleague,

2:37

Carlson Chang." This is more formal. A
