How to Learn Eglish Fast and Easy
1. If you want to learn English conversation faster, one of the best things you can do is find a conversation partner.
2. A conversation partner is someone who you can practice speaking with on a regular basis.
3. You can find a conversation partner in many different ways. For example, you can ask a friend or family member if they would like to be your conversation partner, or you can join an online community of English learners.
4. Once you have found a conversation partner, there are a few things you should keep in mind in order to make the most of your conversations.
5. First, it is important to set aside some time each week to talk with your partner. This will help ensure that you have regular practice conversations.
Having Personal Conversations with Friends
Once you’ve made plans and greeted your friends, all that’s left to do is just… well, be a friend. Friends go to each other for help, for advice and when they want to share their opinions and experiences.
Conversations that are more personal are usually less structured and follow fewer rules. But there are still phrases that English speakers tend to use a lot in personal conversations, and there are still certain speech patterns we follow to show support for our friends. Let’s look at some examples.
Conversation #1: A Friend’s Advice
Makayla: Hi, Gemma. You look terrible!
Gemma: Hey, Makayla. Mmm, I haven’t slept.
Makayla: Are you OK? What’s the matter?
Gemma: Well, you know that photo I sent to Clare on Friday night?
Makayla: Yeah?
Gemma: Well, she sent it to Justin.
Makayla: Oh no! How could she do that? It obviously was only for her.
Gemma: I know! I thought she’d find it funny.
Makayla: Well, it was quite funny. But you didn’t expect her to send it to anyone.
Gemma: No, of course not! Especially not Justin! Oh, it’s so embarrassing!
Makayla: Ah well, don’t worry. I know how you feel, though.
Gemma: And what if he puts it on Facebook or something? What if my mum sees it?
Makayla: No no, don’t worry. He won’t. It’s not that interesting for him or anyone else, to be honest.
Gemma: But what if he does?
Makayla: He won’t. But maybe ask Clare to speak to Justin… Get him to delete the photo?
Gemma: Yeah, maybe. But that might just make him even more interested.
Makayla: Yeah, true.
Gemma: What do you think I should do?
Makayla: Mmm… I’d just try to forget about it if I were you.
Gemma: But I’m so annoyed with Clare!
Makayla: Maybe speak to Clare, tell her how you feel. She shouldn’t be sharing people’s private photos.
Gemma: Okay, yeah. Thanks for the advice, Makayla. I’ll talk to her.
Makayla: Good idea. And don’t worry. Just be careful and don’t send any more embarrassing photos!
Gemma: Yeah, I know, I know. I won’t.
Note: The dialogue above is in British English. The only difference in how this conversation might go in American English is that Gemma would probably say “mom” instead of “mum.” Also, Americans tend to use “quite” less than British people.
