Improve your Speaking and Conversational skills with me / English Speaking Practice

hey everybody today we're making another video where we're going to be practicing your speaking and conversational skills by having a conversation you and me well because you asked for it and I'm very glad that you love this format so let's go over what it's going to look like I have prepared a dialogue one line is for me and the other one is for you you will see them on the screen I'm going to say my line and you're going to read your line out loud on the screen and that's going to be your response and

then vice versa the first line will be yours and the second mine this exercise will give you already ready lines and answers to use in real life with other people and get you prepared to have conversations in addition you might pick up a phrase or two and for this video I thought it'd be useful to go through a dialogue of two people meeting each other for the first time and let's say a mutual friend introduced them I believe that we've all been in such a situation and we know that it's a little bit unnerving and

might be awkward and sometimes you might not know what to say especially if you need to say this in English so this dialogue might give you some ideas let's proceed I'm saying my line and then you'll see your line on the screen and say it out loud as if you were answering to me hi you must be Anna I'm Alex it's nice to meet you so Steph tells me the two of you go way back Yeah we actually met in college though then after we both landed jobs at the same company I'm from New York

Brooklyn but you live in New York now right oh yeah whereabouts no way I know that place I've been there several times over the years I've never had a bad meal there and it's a nice touch having that view of Central Park so if you've wored there since College than we might have crossed paths there more than once in the last couple of years oh congratulations then that means that I have likely eaten and enjoyed dinners you have made that sounds fabulous I will make it a point to go there next time I'm home and
