How to Improve Your Conversation Skills
To speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors.Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths.And that's the biggest mistake of all.Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors,what do you say?
First of all,you have to open the conversation.Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle.Some topics,such as the weather and news,work well.But others,such as age,money or people's appearance do not.The following are some good ways to open a conversation.
Weather -- It sure is cold today,isn't it?
News -- Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?
A conversation in a foreign language doesn't always go smoothly.Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow.Not to worry,though.You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly.For example,"Excuse me,but could you say that again?I didn't catch it." Or "Could you speak more slowly,please?"
At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way."Well,I really need to be going",or "It was nice talking to you" are frequently used by people to end a conversation.
