40 phrases for starting conversations in English

from Espresso English Podcast

Do you have difficulty speaking English? Sometimes the hardest part is simply starting a conversation. Today you'll learn 40 conversation starters that native English speakers use in various real life situations – formal or informal, at work, school, or other contexts! These aren't especially "deep" conversation starters like you might want to use on a first date, when you're interested in getting to know someone extremely well. Instead, they are more suited for "small talk" – casual conversation about topics of general interest. You will learn lots more phrases inside my Everyday English Speaking Courses - they cover tons of situations, like what to say during: travel shopping eating in restaurants socializing agreeing/disagreeing making invitations and requests giving criticism or advice expressing your thoughts ...and much more. I hope to see you inside!
