How to Start an English Conversation at Work - Speaking Practice and Small Talk - American & British

[@ramchandrashrestha9918]

Thanks for such an conversation, which will enhance my speaking and listening . How I can improve understanding the conversation. Some time it is difficult to understand .

[@highlevellistening]

Thanks for watching! For listening practice, I would recommend listening to a short excerpt (just 1 or 2 sentences) and repeat it over and over. Eventually you will pick up the individual words more easily, then when you hear the same words in a different situation, it will be easier to catch them again, hope that helps!

[@brsaravia]

Hey Cat and Mark, I just wanted to say your videos are awesome! You're really helping me improve my English.

Great!! A more appropriate and super effective one is, “ I am going out for a puff!! Do you….?” The risk is an quick end for non-puffers!! So follow this upload. Now your boss enters in the picture; he asks: where are you going? Shouldn’t you rather quit and stick in your desk!! How about the report, I asked you to prepare? Now it’s your turn to be super creative!! All the best!!

[@highlevellistening]

Haha that one would definitely work in the UK! Even more British would would to "pop out for a puff"!

Good morning teachers! It is really useful expression. It seems that small talk is easy sentence but it is hard to come up when I am talking to overseas colleagues. 😅

I know it can be hard. Our advice is to take 1 or 2 phrases that you like the best, and practice trying to use them in conversation in the next few weeks!

[@mepublic2]

Hi, guys 🤗. I have a lot to catch up on with you. I'm gonna start with this: If I answer to the question "how are you?" With a happy "l'm ok", does it still sound like not so good? 🤔 By the way, how often do you actually ask "how are you" instead of "how are you doing? " or "how's it going?" Thank you. Keep up with the good work. You're amazing 🤩

[@highlevellistening]

Hello! Good questions! If you say: "I'm okay." in a positive, happy tone then yes it sounds good. No one will think you are unhappy or unwell. "I'm okay" is like a "5/6 out of 10." I think as a teacher I often say: "How are you?", but with my friends and family, I more often use "How's it going?" or "How are you doing?" At work or in the office, "How are you" is probably the safest choice. But if you are very close with your colleagues and have a good relationship, you can say: "How's it going" or "How are you doing" and that's appropriate as well. Hope that makes sense!

[@mepublic2]

@@highlevellistening It makes total sense About the other thing, 6/10 is not so good 😝. I've been trying to convince someone (a student ) to answer in a different way 😄. I'll keep trying.

Language study is never easy, just take it day by day and little by little, don’t go too fast or you’ll be disappointed, keep up the good work, it’ll get better!

[@ilina5646]

The same thing is very difficult for me. I may feel like a constant failure, as I have been stuck at the A2 level and have not advanced a single step to the B1 level. Despite all my efforts, I have succeeded. It makes sense to learn it, especially since people around me never speak it. It is difficult.

Is it ok like “How has been your day “ instead of”how has your day been”.?

[@highlevellistening]

Because of the word order in English: How + has + subject + been? This would be the correct option: How has your day been? How has your week been? How has your morning been? "How has been your day?" doesn't follow the correct word order for questions because the subject needs to go between the verbs. Thanks for your question, hope that helps!

[@anilmishrassblintercollege9460]

How do you like the job so far, the question is in present indefinite whereas the answer is in perfect form, in question you use so far but use present indefinite, why

[@highlevellistening]

We talk a bit about this in the video but here’s the reduced version: Do you like the job so far? is a simple answer, yes I do, no I don’t. But how* do you like the job so far is asking for a bit more of your experience along with the answer. I like it (present), it’s been good (present perfect, experience) It’s okay I’ve had a good experience. I’m not sure if I like it, it’s been difficult. Hope that helps!
