5 English Conversation Tips | How to improve your communication skills*

hello and welcome back to english with

Ćao i dobro došli na ''Engleski sa

Lucy today I wanted to talk to you

Lucy''! Danas sam htela da pričam sa vama o...

well actually I wanted to have a chat

u stvari, htela sam da proćaskam sa vama

with you just a casual informal

jedna opustena, neformalna

conversation about how to improve your

konverzacija o tome kako da usavršite vaše

conversation skills so I recently asked

konverzacijske veštine. Skoro sam pitala

all of my students on facebook and

sve moje učenike na facebook-u i

instagram what sort of videos they'd

intsagramu, koju vrstu video bi oni

like to see in the near future because i

želeli da gledaju u skorijoj budućnosti zato što sam

have had a little bit of a rest recently

nedavno imala malu pauzu

but I'm back in the game now and most

ali sada sam ponovo u igri i većina

people wanted to see more grammar videos which

ljudi je želela više videa o gramatici, koji

will definitely be coming soon more

definitivno uskoro stižu,

vocabulary videos and also tips on how to

više videa o vokabularu i takodje savete o tome kako da

improve their spoken english and also

usavrše svoj govor na engleskom i takodje

their listening skills now I've

veštinu slušanja. Već sam

already done a video on listening which

odradila video na temu slušanja koji

you can watch just up here but I haven't

možete pogledati ovde ali nisam

done a video on conversation yet so

još uvek odradila video o konverzaciji tako da

that's what I'm going to do today but i

to je ono što ću da odradim danas ali

am going to provide you with some real

predstaviću vam neke nove reči

vocabulary and some very useful grammar

i veoma korisnu gramatiku

so I've squished everything that you

tako da sam sažela sve ono što ste

wanted into one video alright let's get

želeli u jedan video. U redu, hajde da

started with tip number one number one

krenemo sa savetom broj jedan. Broj jedan

is be aware of the sounds that you make

je biti svestan zvuka koji pravite

when you think if you want to sound more

kada razmišljate. Ako želite da zvučite više

native when speaking and not offend

kao da vam je maternji jezik a da ne uvredite

anyone when speaking then you need to

nikoga kada pričate, onda morate da

think like an Englishman when I was in

razmišljate kao Englezi. Kada sam bila u

Spain I was quite surprised when i first

Španiji, veoma sam se iznenadila kada sam prvi put

had proper conversations with people

imala pravu konverzaciju sa ljudima

because they would be talking to me and

zato što bi oni pričali sa mnom i

then suddenly say eeeeeeeeh and I would think what was that

i onda iznenada rekli eeeeeeeh i ja bih pomislila ''šta je ovo,

that's quite loud mouth right open eeeeeeh and

baš je glasno?!'' Usta široko otvorena eeeeeh

in the UK it's considered impolite have

U Velikoj Britaniji se smatra nepristojnim

your mouth open in somebody's face so

otvoriti širom usta u nečiju facu tako da

when we think about what we're going to

kada mi razmišljamo o tome šta ćemo

say next in a conversation we tend to

sledeće reči u konverzaciji, mi praktikujemo da

say ummmm or hmm

kažemo uuuuum ili hmmm

so we tend to hum with our mouths closed

tako da mi šumimo sa zatvorenim ustima

so try practicing at home if you see any

tako da probajte da vežbate kući ako vidite neki

interviews of British celebrities and

intervju britanskih zvezda i

personalities check to see what sort of

ličnosti, probajte da vidite koju vrstu

noises they make when they are thinking

zvukova oni prave kada razmišljaju

about how to respond to a question

o tome kako da odgovore na pitanje.

the next tip is be aware of

Sledeći savet jeee budite svesni

interjections now what are interjections

uzvika. Sad, šta su uzvici?

well they are short little expressions

Pa, to su kratki izrazi

that express how you are feeling so if I

koji izražavaju kako se osećate, tako da ako ja

say something like oh it means i'm

kažem nešto kao ''oh'' to znači

interested maybe I haven't heard that

da sam zinteresovana, možda sam to već čula

before

ranije

maybe on a bit surprised oh and if I say

možda sam malo iznenadjena ''oh'' a ako kažem

something like hmm it could mean I don't

nešto kao ''hmm'' to može da znači

quite believe you

ne verujem ti baš.

the people from the UK of less inclined

Ljudi u Velikoj Britaniji su manje skloni

to tell you exactly what they think and

da vam kažu šta tačno misle i

more inclined to tell you through

više skloni da vam kažu kroz

interjections and body language if you'd

uzvike i govor tela. Ako biste

like more information on interjections

voleli više informacija o uzvicima

like oh right yuck eww then i can

kao ''da tačno, bljak, fuj'' onda bih

definitely make a video all about them

definitivno mogla da napravim ceo video o njima.

it really is good to know them because

Stvrano je dobro znati ih zato što

it will help you understand what speaker

će vam pomoći da razumete šta sagovornik

thinking and also convey what you are

misli i takodje preneti šta vi

thinking as well tip number four (three) is

mislite. Savet broj četiri (tri) je

learn to use question tags properly now

naučite da koristite potvrdno pitanje. Sad,

what are question tags they are short little

šta su potvrdna pitanja? To su kratka

questions that go at the end of

pitanja koja se nalaze na kraju

sentences things like you're not married

rečenice. Kao na primer ''Ti nisi oženjen,

are you?

jesi li?''

or he didn't go did he? or you like tea

ili ''on nije otišao, je li''? Ili ''ti voliš čaj,

don't you?

zar ne?''

now they can mean two different

sad, oni mogu značiti dve različite

things they can be a genuine question or

stvari. Mogu biti prava pitanja ili

they can be almost a request for

mogu biti skoro zahtev za

confirmation of something that the

potvrdu nečega što

speaker already knew

sagovornik već zna.

you're very tanned you've been on holiday

''Baš si preplanuo, bio si na odmoru

haven't you

zar ne?''

I know that they've been on holiday

Znam da su bili na odmoru

I'm just asking for confirmation now

sad samo pitam za potvrdu.

question tags are very simple to form and

potvrdna pitanja su veoma jednostavna za formulisanje i

use if you have a positive statement you

upotrebu. Ako imate pozitivnu izjavu,

are coming then you'd add a negative

''dolaziš'' onda samo dodate negativno

question tag on the end aren't you you

pitanje potvrde na kraju ''zar ne?''

are coming aren't you

''Dolaziš, zar ne?''

and if you have a negative sentence she

a ako imate negativnu rečenicu

didn't say

''Ona to nije rekla!''

that then you add a positive question

onda dodate pozitivno potvrdno pitanje

tag at the end did she she didn't say

na kraju. ''Ona to nije rekla,

that did shee right now we've spoken a

je li ( iliii )?'' E sad, pričali smo

little bit about noises a bit of

malo o zvukovima, malo o

vocabulary and a bit of grammar that you

vokabularu i malo o gramatici koju

can use to improve your conversation

možete koristiti da usavršite svoje konverzacijske

skills

veštine.

well now I'd like to talk about some

E, sada bih volela da pričam o nekim

real hardcore practice so when I was

pravim teškim vežbama. Kada sam

working as a private English teacher a

radila kao privatni nastavnik engleskog

lot of people wanted conversation

mnogo ljudi je želelo konverzacijske

lessons and they would come in and say I

lekcije i došli bi i rekli ''Ja

just want to talk which is great but I

samo želim da pričam'' što je sjajno ali ja

had a small handful of students that

sam imala veoma malu šaku učenika koji

really knew how to improve their

su zaista znali kako da usavrše svoje

conversation skills and I actually

konverzacijeske veštine i ja sam u stvari

learned from them i had a couple of

učila od njih. Imala sam par učenika

students come in and say I want

koji bi došli i rekli ''Ja želim

conversation lessons but I want to practice my

lekciju konverzacije ali želim da vežbam

story and this was great they would come

priču'' i ovo je bilo sjajno. Došli bi

in with a handful of stories that they

sa pregršt priča koje bi oni

would tell on a daily basis maybe where

pričali na dnevnom nivou. Možda odakle ste.

you're from

why you're living in London something

Zašto živite u Londonu, nešto

funny that happened to you onholiday

smešno što vam se desilo na odmoru,

something that they like to tell they

nešto što žele da kažu,

like to be interesting they like to be

žele da budu zanimljivi, žele da budu

funny in group situations it's good to

zabavni u grupnim situacijama. Dobro je

have a few stories up your sleeve

imati par priča u rukavu.

well they would come to me and i would

Oni bi došli kod mene i pitali

ask to practice them and perfect them

da ih uvežbam i usavršim

so they could tell their stories

tako da mogu da ispričaju svoje priče

fluently and efficiently and make people

tečno i efikasno i nasmeju ljude

laugh and make people feel interested

i zainteresuju ih

and make people enjoy their company so i

i učine da ljudi uživaju njihovo društvo.

really really recommend that apart from

Zaista, zaista preporučujem to, osim što

practicing your conversation you

vežbate vašu konevrzaciju, vi

practice your stories you go over them

vežbate vašu priču. Prelazite ih

again and again and again until you have

ponovo i ponovo i ponovo, dok ih nemate

them sorted until they're perfect and fluent

uredjene, savršene i tečne

and natural more than anything

i prirodne najviše od svega.

description box now my final tip for you

opisu. Sad moji poslednji finalni za vas

is reflection

je refleksija.

it's all very well going to a language

Odlično ide sa razmenom jezika

exchange and speaking and speaking and

i pričanjem i pričanjem i

speaking but if you don't reflect on

pričanjem, ali ako se ne osvrnete na

your mistakes you're never going to

vaše greške, nikada nećete

improve so after every single

napredovati. Tako da posle svake

conversation that you have in a language

konverzacije koju imate na jeziku

that you're trying to learn

koji pokušavate da naučite,

make sure you take some time afterwards

potrudite se da odvojite malo vremena posle toga

to think back and ask yourself where was

da se prisetite i pitate sebe ''gde sam

i lacking and there could be a multitude

falio'' i tu može biti mnoštvo

of answers I didn't know enough

odgovora. ''Nisam znao dovoljno

vocabulary to properly express myself or

reči da se prikladno izrazim'' ili

my listening skills weren't strong enough

''moja sposobnost slušanja nije bila dovoljno jaka

to fully understand my partner or I was

da potpuno razumem mog partnera'' ili ''ja sam

telling a story and I wasn't comfortable

pričao priču a nisam bio dovoljno ležeran

enough with the past tenses to tell it

sa prošlim vremenom da je ispirčam

accurately so make sure you analyze and

precizno''. Tako da budite sigurni da analizirate i

reflect and then do some research about

reflektujete i onda odradite neko istraživanje oko

it so you can practice what you lacked

toga tako da možete da vežbate šta vam je nedostajalo

in in the last conversation now the

u poslednjoj konverzaciji.
