How do you start a conversation in English?
كيف تبدأ محادثة باللغة الإنجليزية؟
2
Well, if you want to learn some natural English small talk so that you can start conversations easily,
3
you're in the right place.
4
Hello, this is Keith from the YouTube channel English Speaking Success, and I also run the website, The Keith Speaking Academy.
5
And I'm here.
6
Why am I here?
7
Oh yes, I'm here, well, not only to help you study English,
8
but also I really want to help you speak better English and become a better communicator in English.
9
Yes, that's what I would like to help you with today and the days coming.
10
And I think that's why small talk is important, right?
11
Because when we meet people, we often talk about unimportant things, what we call trivial things,
12
like the weather, And this is just a way to break the ice, or it's a conversation starter.
13
It's a way to get to know the person better sometimes.
14
Sometimes it's just a way of saying hello.
15
Sometimes it's just one sentence and then bye -bye.
16
Other times you want to get to know the person better
17
and find some common ground that you can talk about and discuss.
18
So I wonder, what do people in your country talk about
19
when you meet somebody or you meet a new person for the first time?
20
Let me know.
21
Leave me a comment down below.
22
So in this video, we're gonna be talking about three typical situations where you might use small talk,
23
the common topics that you might talk about, and I'll show you some natural,
24
easy to use phrases that you can be using and put into action well, right away.
25
Also, I have a bonus at the very end of the video because, you know, I think around the world,
26
by and large, people talk about the same things in small talk.
27
However, it does depend sometimes on the culture and the country.
28
There are certain topics that are more popular and there are certain topics which are taboo.
29
Taboo just means you shouldn't talk about them.
30
So the bonus is at the end of this video, I'm going to tell you some of the taboo topics for British people, right?
31
The things that you shouldn't say to British people when you're engaged in small talk.
32
And just before we move on, I'd like to say a big, big thank you to Cambly who are sponsoring this video.
33
If you don't know Cambly, it's an online platform where you can learn English with qualified native English speaking teachers.
34
Very practical, very easy to use, fantastic way to practice your English and become a better communicator.
35
I'm gonna tell you more about that later in the video.
36
Right now, let's get into that first situation where we may be using small talk.
37
Okay, so the first scenario, if you like, is parties and social events.
38
So maybe it's a birthday party or an office party, Christmas party, social events, you know, could be a wedding, could be a conference,
39
a networking event, that kind of situation where you're meeting people and you want to start conversations to get to know them better.
40
Now, there may be different things you can talk about.
41
And I think you can talk about location, about food, about people, about travel and hobbies,
42
to name a few, probably others.
43
But let's have a look at each of these in turn.
44
So first of all, the first one, when you're kind of wanting to break the ice,
45
the location can be a good thing to talk about location can be either where you are now or where you're from.
46
So for example, I mean, if you're at a conference, for example, have you been here before?
47
It's a classic sentence, right?
48
A classic question.
49
And also, what brings you here today?
50
Which is nicer than why did you come here today?
51
Which sounds a bit, why did you come here today?
52
Sounds a bit strong.
53
What brings you here today?
54
It's much softer and politer.
55
And of course you can ask about where people are from.
56
So where are you from?
57
Where are you from?
58
And just be careful with this one because sometimes people say, you know, I come from, well, for example, I come from China.
59
And the other person says, oh, right.
60
I met a woman once from China, a Mrs. Wang.
61
Maybe you know her?
62
It's like, come on, seriously?
63
And I think what happens is people are so eager to find this common ground and keep the conversation going.
64
They say rather silly things, right?
65
It's much better sometimes just to say, well, if you've never been there, right?
66
Well, oh, I've never been to China.
67
What's it like?
68
Absolutely.
69
And that's great because then you give them the opportunity to talk about where they're from.
70
People love talking about where they're from and their hometown.
71
Okay, location.
72
Next, food.
73
If you're at an event where they have put on some food
74
or they've given you some food or a dinner or a buffet or a finger buffet, of course you can say, how's the food here?
75
How's the food here?
76
Great.
77
Or even, it's a nice spread, isn't it?
78
It's a nice spread, isn't it?
79
A spread is a meal because you spread the food on the table.
80
That's a meal, typically like a buffet.
81
It's a nice spread, isn't it?
82
Isn't it is a very high level of English.
83
This, we call it a question tag.
84
It is a nice spread, isn't it?
85
is quite difficult to use.
86
And many learners of English find it very challenging to use naturally.
87
If you can, great, you'll show you've got a high level.
88
If not, you can just say, right.
89
It's a nice spread, right?
90
Next, people.
91
So you can talk about the other person or you can talk about yourself or about other people at the event, okay?
92
The first thing I always do when I introduce myself at parties is I keep it super simple.
93
Hello, I'm Keith.
94
And I say my name really slowly.
95
And that's it, because people are not going to remember.
96
I mean, you'll be lucky if they remember your name.
97
But some people go, hello, my name's Keith.
98
I'm an English teacher.
99
I'm from Manchester.
100
And at I'm living in Spain, and all the other person hears is and that's it,
101
that's all they get.
102
So keep it super simple.
103
Hello, I'm, right?
104
Now, if it's for example, Matthew's party or Matthew's wedding, you could say, so how do you know Matthew?
105
Nice question.
106
And then if you're digging deeper to get to know the person better, and what do you do?
107
Even deeper?
108
How did you get into that?
109
How did you get into that?
110
Meaning, how did you start that work or that job or that activity?
111
People love to tell their life story about how they started a business or how they started working in a certain field.
112
It's a great question.
113
How did you get into that?
114
And if things are going well and you're digging even deeper, right, you could say, and what are you working on at the moment?
115
What are you working on at the moment?
116
Notice the stress.
117
What are you working on at the moment?
118
Try.
119
Yeah, that's great.
120
And again, people love to tell you about the projects they're doing or what's keeping them busy at the moment.
121
It's a really nice way to dig deeper into the conversation.
122
Now, that's going quite deep.
123
You may at times want to switch and make things lighter, a bit more lighthearted, right?
124
So you You could talk about travel,
125
for example, and you could say, been anywhere nice recently? Been anywhere nice recently?
126
Great, good.
127
So been is been, it should be, have you been anywhere nice recently or lately?
128
But actually in natural spoken English, we drop the have you and just say been, been anywhere nice lately?
129
Been anywhere nice lately?
130
You'll see this more as we go through this video.
131
Or maybe you could talk about hobbies.
132
right?
133
And a nice question for this is, what do you get up to when you're not working?
134
What do you get up to when you're not working?
135
To get up to is to do something in a relaxed way, if you like, right?
136
Great question.
137
Not what is your hobby, which sounds a bit bookish and formal.
138
What do you get up to when you're not working?
139
Try it.
140
That's it.
141
Lovely.
142
So all of these topics can be great things to talk about when you're at a party or social event.
143
Right, the next situation is not quite as serious as the first one.
144
This is actually much more the kind of conversation where it's a hello, goodbye, right?
145
Very, very brief, small, really small talk.
146
So this may be when you bump into your neighbour.
147
Bump into means to meet by chance or by accident.
148
When you're maybe queuing in line or queuing in line, waiting in line or queuing, maybe at a shop, in the supermarket, at the bus stop.
149
We love queuing at the bus stops in England, honestly.
150
Maybe it's with a taxi driver or a shop assistant, just something very brief to be friendly, basically.
151
So the classic here is to talk about weather, right?
152
So you could say, nice day, isn't it?
153
Nice day, isn't it?
154
Remember the isn't it, you could just say, right, right?
155
Nice day, right?
156
And notice instead of saying, it's a nice day, we drop that and just say, nice day.
157
Nice day, right?
158
Nice day, right?
159
Lovely day, right?
160
Very simple, right?
161
Or if you're in England, looks like it's going to rain.
162
It looks like it's going to rain or drop the it, looks like it's going to rain.
163
Very simple.
164
Weather, classic, you can't go wrong with weather.
165
More generally, and a very easy question to ask, but can open up simple conversations.
166
How's everything?
167
How's everything?
168
How's everything?
169
Which is better than how are you?
170
Because how are you?
171
People just say, fine.
172
And that's it.
173
How's everything?
174
Maybe you're asking about the business, if they're a shop assistant, or if it's a neighbour, about things in their life,
175
and maybe they want help with something.
176
How's everything?
177
It's just going to open up a little bit more of the conversation, if you want to. So that's it.
178
That's Brief Encounters for really, really small talk.
179
Let's move on.
180
I would just like to take a moment to tell you more about Cambly, who are sponsoring this video.

203
You will absolutely love it, I'm sure.
204
Right now, let's get back into some small talk and how to start conversations easily.
205
Now, the final situation is actually for people that you already know.
206
So this could be friends, colleagues, classmates, and I call this at the water cooler because traditionally that's the kind of the,
207
it's where you go for water.
208
It's where you gather around, chat, have a chit chat, bit of small talk, killing time maybe,
209
but it could be down the pub or at the coffee bar.
210
And sometimes you're not sure how to start a conversation or you're not sure what to talk about.
211
And well, these phrases, tried and tested, guaranteed to work.
212
They're very easy, easy to use.
213
Try them out.
214
So first one is this one.
215
seen any good films lately?
216
Notice instead of have you, you can just say seen any good films lately?
217
Notice the intonation.
218
Seen any good films lately?
219
Try.
220
Great.
221
And that is great because most people watch films
222
and would love to tell you about a film that was great
223
and they recommend or a film that was terrible and they don't want you to watch.
224
Similarly, you could say, read any good books lately?
225
Or been to any good gigs lately?
226
Been to any good gigs lately?
227
A gig is just a concert, right?
228
Have you been to any good concerts lately?
229
Been to any good gigs lately?
230
So you can see that formula.
231
You can use it for magazines, books, concerts, TV series, all of that kind of stuff, okay?
232
Next, talking about the weekends, classic, dead easy to do.
233
What did you get up to at the weekend?
234
What did you get up to at the weekend?
235
Remember, get up to is when you do something in a relaxed way normally.
236
So that's a nice way to ask about what they did at the weekend
237
You could also ask about the future
238
Got any plans for the weekend?
239
Got any plans for the weekend?
240
Notice I'm dropping have you got any plans for the weekend?
241
Great, the weekends are really easy to talk about for most people
242
Now, you could, again, you could focus the conversation on work or study.
243
And again, you could say very simply, what are you working on at the moment?
244
Or what are you studying at the moment?
245
Easy conversations.
246
People often like to tell you about the projects that they hate, but they have to do,
247
or the exciting project they're doing and they really want to tell you about and spread their passion about what they're doing.
248
It's a nice question to ask.
249
The final or third part of these questions is all about, I was going to say gossip.
250
It's not exactly gossip.
251
Let's call it news, news slash gossip.
252
And this is where, because people love to talk about gossip, right?
253
People love to talk about what other people are doing, new places, new things.
254
And there are lots of questions you can ask here.
255
For example, have you been to that new Spanish bar, right?
256
Or even, you can drop the have you, been to that new Spanish bar yet?
257
Been to that new Spanish bar yet?
258
Have you met the new sales manager yet?
259
Have you seen the new product we're launching?
260
So all of these questions about have you been, have you seen, have you met, have you heard, Have you read the new policy about,
261
all of these are great questions because they're talking about recent news, recent events, finding out or exchanging your opinions about it.
262
And it's kind of touching on gossip almost.
263
I don't really like gossip, but it's a very, very easy conversation starter, right?
264
Let's call it news slash gossip.
265
So lots of things you can ask about.
266
Great, let's move on.
267
Right, and as promised, here's that bonus, all about those taboo topics, the things you shouldn't say to British people.
268
Now...
269
To be clear, right, this is when you don't know the people at all.
270
I think these are the kind of topics and phrases you wouldn't ask or say when you're meeting complete strangers, right?
271
It's just not safe.
272
Of course, as you get to know people and you know them better, you could start asking these questions.
273
But let's assume this is for people you don't know.
274
The first kind of taboo topic or delicate topic is family, interestingly, right?
275
Because you may think that's, you can ask about family, about, you know, are you married?
276
Do you have any children?
277
What does your wife do?
278
And probably 30 years ago, these would be innocent questions.
279
But I think in today's climate, in Britain, they can be delicate with strangers, right?
280
So for example, are you married?
281
but what if that person has just got divorced or they've had an engagement that has failed?
282
And you may be touching on a delicate topic.
283
Likewise, well, what does your wife do?
284
But maybe they've just lost their job.
285
They've been laid off.
286
They're unemployed.
287
And again, that's a really delicate topic you probably don't want to touch.
288
And again, what does your wife do? asking me, but maybe a man is married to a man
289
and they have a husband and they could feel a bit uncomfortable if you assume that they're automatically married to a woman.
290
So these are things that can be delicate, I think, with complete strangers.
291
I would steer away from, move away from this topic until you get to know them better.
292
I think otherwise it can be a minefield
293
Another topic is age, right?
294
Generally, we don't talk about age.
295
Women more so, but men also possibly.
296
So the question, how old are you?
297
Probably not appropriate, right?
298
And another one around work and salary.
299
In Britain, we tend not to talk about money too much.
300
We're not very comfortable talking about money.
301
So you certainly would not ask, how much do you earn?
302
Which is an interesting question.
303
I've been asked that question in a few occasions when I've traveled around the world and it's always shocked me.
304
And I feel really uncomfortable talking about it.
305
So be aware that in the UK, you may make people uncomfortable if you ask them, how much do you earn exactly?
306
Okay.
307
Another couple of topics that I would stay away from are politics and religion, right? politics.
308
Sometimes you're tempted to say, oh, I can't believe what your president did the other day.
309
And maybe you are shocked by what the president of that country did.
310
But you don't know if the other person maybe is a big advocate of their president and they love their president.
311
And by you could easily offend their culture, their country, their sense of nationalism, if you attack their president.
312
And likewise in religion.
313
Again, I've had several occasions on my travels where people have said, hello, my name's Tom.
314
Do you believe in God?
315
Well, that for me is a very personal question and one that I'm happy to discuss with people I know very well.
316
But with somebody I don't know, I would find that inappropriate.
317
So these are some taboo topics and questions, especially in Great Britain.
318
That's it.
319
Fantastic.
320
You've done a great job today with your practice.
321
So we've been looking at small talk, looking at parties and social events.
322
Then we talked about neighbours and queuing and taxi drivers and also small talk at the water cooler with your friends, colleagues or classmates.
323
And finally, of course, we were looking at taboos, kind of questions that you shouldn't ask if you're in the UK.
324
I hope all of this has been useful.
325
I hope it's helping you not only to learn English, but to become an English speaker.
326
I'd love for you to change your mindset from being a student to becoming an English speaker
327
and becoming a much more effective communicator in English.
328
And I think understanding areas of small talk is a small but important step in that direction.
329

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | you've never been · I've never been · have put |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | They've been laid · I've been asked · are shocked |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | topics which are · teachers who can |
| الاحتمال بـ “might / may” might/may + فعل — شيء ممكن لكنه غير مؤكد | might use · might talk · may be |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 94 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل you're, I'm, they're. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: shock /ʃɔk/, occasion /əˈkeɪ̯ʒən/, passion /ˈpæʃən/, traditionally /tɹəˈdɪʃ.ə.nə.li/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, similarly /ˈsɪm.ə.lə.li/, traditionally /tɹəˈdɪʃ.ə.nə.li/, inappropriate /ˌɪnəˈpɹoʊpɹi.ət/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: topic /ˈtɑpɪk/, gossip /ˈɡɑsɪp/, sponsor /ˈspɒn.səː/, bump /bʌmp/, practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: divorce /dɪˈvɔːs/, advocate /ˈæd.və.kət/, trivial /ˈtɹɪv.i.əl/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: queue /kju/, discount /ˈdɪskaʊnt/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, stranger /ˈstɹeɪnd͡ʒɚ/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ردّد جملة جملة بالسرعة العادية، وكرّر كل جملة حتى يتطابق إيقاعك مع المتحدث.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل topic, gossip, queue.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
