CULIPS ENGLISH PODCAST
About this episode

In this Chatterbox episode, Andrew and Anna are trying out something new – they’re playing a conversation game! The goal of the game is to make deeper conversations, moving beyond small talk. The hosts go through a range of questions, from light-hearted to deep and thought-provoking, and then discuss each other’s responses. As they answer these questions, they share their personal experiences, memories, and take time to reflect on their lives. Make sure to give this episode a listen to find out more and improve your communication skills!

What You Will Learn:

  • How to discuss hypothetical situations using conditional sentences.
  • How to effectively participate in a conversation, ask follow-up questions, and express your opinions respectfully.
  • How to make your speech more engaging by using descriptive adjectives, adverbs, and figurative language.

How This Episode Will Help You:

  • Grow your vocabulary with vocabulary related to conversation, communication, and relationships.
  • Build your listening skills by following a natural conversation between native English speakers.
  • Learn idiomatic expressions like “think on your feet” and “Goldilocks.”
