The English You Need for Real Life || Listen, Repeat, Answer & Speak

Welcome to my channel, Bookish English. I am Ariel. Let me ask you something. Have you ever studied English for months, maybe even years, but when a real person suddenly speaks to you, your mind becomes blank. You understand the question. You know many words. Maybe you even know the answer in your head. But

when it is time to speak, nothing comes out quickly. If this happens to you, it does not mean your English is weak. It means you have practiced understanding English more than using English. Today we are going to change that. This is not a lesson where you only sit and listen. You are going to practice real English

with me using four simple steps. Listen, repeat, answer and speak. First you will hear useful everyday English. Then you will repeat it with me. After that, I will ask you questions and give you time to answer. Finally, I will put you inside real life situations and you will speak for yourself. We will

practice the English you need when meeting people, shopping, ordering food, working, making phone calls, asking for directions, and handling moments when you do not understand. So do not only watch this lesson, use your voice, speak with me, and let us turn the English you know into English you can actually use. Chapter 1, meeting

people and everyday small talk. Let us begin with one of the most important parts of real life English. Meeting people and starting simple conversations. Meeting people and starting simple conversations. For many beginners, this is where the nervousness begins. Someone says hello. Asks a simple question and suddenly you start translating in your head.
