â Conversational Englishâïļâïļâïļâïļâïļ
Why should you learn conversational English?
If you want to learn English, it is more critical to understand conversational English than formal English. That is because formal English is used far less and in far fewer places, mostly in educational and scientific spaces. Therefore, even in most professional situations, the language used will be closer to conversational than formal English.
Beyond simply communication, conversational English can teach you so much about culture. The phrases and structure of conversational English are derived from the culture. Knowing these phrases and words can make enjoying and participating in many cultural events easier.
What is the best way to learn conversational English?
The best way to learn conversational English is to focus your learning on how to speak English. While this may sound like common sense, many language apps and English courses are rooted in learning by reading. When you focus on learning what is on a page, you learn formal English.
Finding a course that focuses on English conversation is vital to learning. The more you hear English spoken, the more you will pick up on how it is used in casual settings. You will also gain confidence in using words and phrases, allowing you to pick up on some of the nuances of conversational English.
When learning English, most learners' end goal is to reach fluency. Understanding formal and informal English is essential, but for most learners, conversational English is what you will use most often. Many English speakers may have trouble understanding some formal English.
So, when learning English, make sure you are focusing on learning skills you can use.
â Networking and Small Talkâïļâïļâïļâïļâïļ
Small talk is a friendly conversation of a non-serious nature that usually occurs between people who don't know each other well or have just met for the first time. For example, you can converse with English-speaking colleagues, people you meet at the party, conference participants, fellow travelers on a train, neighbors, etc.
Usually, the need for a casual conversation arises when you find yourself alone with a new person and want to avoid awkward silence. Also, small talk will help you make new acquaintances and is a convenient skill for business networking.
Small talk is an excellent opportunity to communicate with English speakers and practice your English speaking skills.
And just like during any conversation, it is necessary to follow specific rules when making small talk. So, I will help you understand and practice the do's and don'ts to help you have a basic English conversation and some helpful tips and conversation starters.
