ESL Conversations

Understanding ESL conversations will help you meet new people.

Learning ESL conversations is one of the hardest parts of learning to speak English. This is unlike learning grammar or vocabulary where you can sit down and learn it by reading books and studying. Learning how to have a conversation is different, harder.

ESL New Year Conversations

Why is it Harder?

You have a conversation in real time. There is the other person right there in front of you waiting for you to say the correct thing back to them. You do not have time to go and look the word up in a dictionary as you would do when writing. You have to say something now.

A lot of problems ESL learners have with conversations are related to being able to respond fast enough. These problems can be overcome with practice and confidence in your own abilities.

However, it can be difficult to find someone to practice conversations with, so this section of the site has been written to give you examples of conversations. This will let you see the sorts of responses a native speaker would make in a certain situation.
