Ep. 27 - Tips to Start a Conversation

Jesse Sweed
About this episode

It's always important to get off to a good start and make an excellent first impression. However, starting a conversation is often very difficult and makes us nervous. In this episode, I want to share some strategies, tips, and expressions to use when you want to start a conversation with somebody. After the episode, we will have an English lesson and look at the expressions, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Learn these, practise these, and use these next time you want to start a new conversation.

 If you still feel stuck in your English progress, apply for a FREE Level and Goals Assessment Call.
