  • But just knowing a few tips like which questions to ask to keep the conversation going, are all you need to speak and interact with real native speakers before we get too specific suggestions.

  • Let's first take a closer look at how having real conversations in your target language is so vital to your mastery of the language.

  • Communicating with other people is the very point of language, and conversation comes easily in our native tongue for beginners or anyone learning a new language.

  • Conversations aren't easy at all, and even simple greetings could be intimidating and awkward.

  • Nothing kills a conversation faster than long periods of awkward silence, so you need practice and specific strategies to avoid them when you know what to say to keep the conversation going, communication becomes much easier, and you make a better impression on your listener.

  • Nothing will help you learn to speak a language faster and truly master the language than having real conversations with native speakers.

  • Conversations quickly expose you to slang, cultural expressions and vocabulary that force you to absorb and assimilate information faster than any educational setting.

  • Here are three proven methods that even beginners can quickly use to learn conversational language to make a great impression and avoid awkward silences.

  • But by memorizing a few key questions and the appropriate time to use them, you can easily carry a conversation with minimal vocabulary or experience.

  • And remember, the more conversations you have, the quicker you will learn and master the language.

  • Second, learn core vocabulary terms as quickly as possible.

  • You don't need to memorize thousands of words to learn conversational language.

  • In fact, with just a couple 100 words, you could have a very basic conversation.

  • A woman is talking with a man who works for an outsourced printing company about a brochure for a new product.

  • When is the deadline for the first design draft for the brochure?

  • We decided to launch the new product on October 15th and we'd like to offer you the contract to make the brochure.

  • Thank you so much.

  • We're definitely excited about helping you with this project.

  • So could you tell us a bit about the schedule?

  • When will you need everything by?

  • Well, considering the time needed for printing, we'd like to get the brochures to the printing stage by the end of September.

  • So would it be possible for you to get us the first design draft by the middle of August?

  • Well, we'd like to give you three design options for the initial draft and then have you choose the one which best fits your concept?

  • Then we'll make the final design based on your choice.

  • So it'll be very helpful if you could give us two more weeks to prepare for the stage.

  • Okay, Maybe one month will be enough time to choose one of the designs you've made and then decide on the final design.

  • All right, we'll be counting on you.

  • You're in good hands.

  • Our design team is the best.

  • Thank you so much.

  • A woman is calling on the phone to reserve tickets for a play.

  • Which two seats did she get?

  • Hello.

  • This is Blackfriars Playhouse.

  • Can I help you?

  • I'd like to get two tickets for King Lear at 5 30 this evening.

  • Do you still have any tickets available?

  • We do have a few seats left, but I'm sorry to say we don't have any next to each other.

  • If you don't mind, though, we can get you two seats separately.

  • Okay, we don't mind.

  • Do you have any particular requests?

  • Well, do you have any aisle seats?

  • Yes.

  • We have an aisle seat at the left side of the center section.

  • And to the right of it, three seats over.

  • We have another free seat to the side.

  • Okay, then.

  • Please book that aisle seat.

  • Certainly.

  • How about the other one?

  • Do you have any seats near the center?

  • The only center seats we have left are from the first row to the third row.

  • I'm not too crazy about having actors spit on me.

  • So this room was relatively small and I think you could enjoy the play even at the end of the row.
