Everyone has one.

Mine's a little bit bigger than most.

Hi Bob the Canadian here.

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about those little things that you can say to help
5
20230

00:25
you during an English conversation.

So let's say you're having a conversation with someone and they're talking about something
7
28470
4970
00:33
that you find interesting.
8

00:34
A neat way to make the conversation flow better is to say things like:
9
34850
5630
00:40
That's neat.
10
40480
1000
00:41
Or
11
41480
1000
00:42
That's cool.
12
42480
1009
00:43
Or
13
43489
1000
00:44
That's interesting.
14
44489
1531
00:46
And if you need some time to think you can even stretch it out and say things like:
15
46020
5710
00:51
I find that interesting.
16
51730
1820
00:53
I find that pretty neat.
17
53550
2180
00:55
I find that fascinating.
18
55730
2460
00:58
Another suggestion to help conversation with English speakers go better is to simply ask
19
58190
5730
01:03
them questions.
20
63920
1150
01:05
People love talking about themselves.
21
65070
2829
01:07
So if you can ask questions like:
22
67899
2461
01:10
How many times did you do it?
23
70360
1940
01:12
How long were you gone for?
24
72300
1840
01:14
Or
25
74140
1000
01:15
Did you enjoy yourself?
26
75140
1240
01:16
Or Describe that to me a bit.
27
76380
2160
01:18
It sounds fascinating.
28
78540
2369
01:20
Which leads me to the last example.
29
80909
1951
01:22
You can combine the two.
30
82860
1660
01:24
So you'll want to get comfortable saying things like:
31
84520
3400
01:27
That's neat.
32
87920
1000
01:28
I find that fascinating.
33
88920
1540
01:30
How long were you gone for?
34
90460
1659
01:32
Or
35
92119
1000
01:33
That's really interesting.
36
93119
1501
01:34
So you like camping?
37
94620
1940
01:36
Or
38
96560
1099
01:37
I find that pretty neat.
39
97659
1821
01:39
I've always wanted to do that.
40
99480
2429
01:41
Was it hard to get started?
