That feeling of being a little scared or nervous when you have to talk to people.

Now, that might sound like a big, difficult phrase, but don't worry.

We will explain it in very simple English.

So, if your heart beats fast when you need people, if you feel nervous talking to a new person, this episode is for you.

And you are not alone.

Many, many people feel this way, in their own language and in English.

So let's learn some simple ways to feel better.

So social anxiety.

Let's break it down.

You might think, oh no, what do I say?

What if I make a mistake?

I feel like that sometimes before I do this podcast.

Really?

Me too.

So it's a very normal feeling.

And for English learners, it can feel even bigger.

You are not just talking to people, you are talking in a new language.

Yes.

So today we will talk about some simple situations.

We will talk about going to work, going to class, and talking to strangers.

And we will give you some very short, simple English phrases you can use.

Let's start with the first situation, going to work.

Anna, imagine you start a new job.

You walk into the office on your first day.

How do you feel?

Oh, I feel very nervous.

I see many new people.

I don't know their names.

Yes, everyone is busy.

I feel a little alone.

That's a common feeling.

So what can you do?

You can use a very small, simple phrase.

You can say, hello, or good morning.

Yes, hello it's so simple but it's powerful you can say it with a smile a smile is like a universal hello and after hello you can say your name my name is anna or i'm mark Let's practice a little conversation.

Mark, you are a friendly person at the office.

I am the new person.

Okay.

Good morning.

You must be the new person.

Welcome.

Good morning.

Yes, my name is Anna.

It's nice to meet you, Anna.

I'm Mark.

It's nice to meet you, too.

See?

That was a very short, simple conversation.

Only four lines.

But it's a great start.

You don't need to give a big speech.

Now, let's talk about the second situation – going to class.

Maybe you are in an English class.

You see the other students.

You want to talk to them, but you feel nervous.

This is a great place to practice.

Everyone in the class is also learning.

They probably feel nervous too.

So, what can you say to the person sitting next to you?

You can ask a simple question.

Questions are very good for starting a conversation.

You can ask about the class.

For example, is this the English class?

Yes, even if you know it is the English class, it's an easy way to start talking.

Another good question is, excuse me, is this seat free?

Meaning can I sit here?

Let's try another small conversation.

Mark, you are a student in the class.

I will sit next to you.

Okay.

Hello.

Is this seat free?

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

My name is Anna.

I'm Mark.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

The teacher is very nice, I think.

Yes, she is.

And that's it.

The conversation can stop there, or it can continue.

But you started it.

You made a connection.

Now, the third situation can be the most difficult for many people.

Talking to a stranger.

100

Maybe you were at a bus stop or in a coffee shop.

101

This is often called small talk.

102

Small talk is a short, friendly conversation about simple things.

103

The weather is a very common topic for small talk in English.

104

It's true.

105

English people love to talk about the weather.

106

It's not a deep or philosophical conversation.

107

It's just friendly.

108

So, what can you say?

109

You can look outside and say, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?

110

That's a great one.

111

When you say, isn't it, at the end, you are asking for agreement.

112

It's a friendly way to make a comment.

113

The other person will usually just say, yes, it is.

114

Or if it's raining, you can say, it's really raining hard today.

115

Let's do one more small conversation.

116

Anna, we are both waiting for the bus.

117

Okay.

118

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

119

Yes, it is.

120

Perfect for a walk.

121

Yes, I think so, too.

122

I hope the bus comes soon.

123

Me, too.

124

See?

125

Very simple.

126

You are not asking personal questions like, how old are you or how much money do you make?

127

No, no, no.

128

Just simple comments about the situation you are both in.

129

Exactly.

130

So, we talked about three situations, work, class, and strangers.

131

And we have some simple phrases.

132

But Anna, what if you are still very nervous?

133

What can you do to feel more comfortable?

134

That's a very important question, Mark.

135

Let's talk about some tips.

136

Tip number one, practice small talk.

137

You can practice alone, in front of a mirror.

138

Yes.

139

Talk to yourself.

140

Say, hello, how are you to yourself in the mirror.

141

It sounds funny, but it helps your mouth and brain get used to the words.

142

Tip number two, remember to breathe.

143

When we are nervous, we sometimes forget to breathe.

144

Just take one slow, deep breath.

145

It helps your body relax.

146

I love that.

147

Just breathe.

148

Tip number three, your goal is not to be perfect.

149

Your goal is to connect.

150

People want to be friendly.

151

They will understand if your English is not perfect.

152

A small mistake is OK.

153

Yes.

154

Don't worry about mistakes.

155

We all make them.

156

I still make mistakes in English sometimes.

157

No, Anna.

158

Not you.

159

Yes, me.

160

It's true.

161

So be kind to yourself.

162

Now, let's talk about some common mistakes that A1 learners make.

163

These are small things, and if you know them, you can feel more confident.

164

The first common mistake is with the question, how are you?

165

Many learners answer with, I am fine, which is correct, but a little formal.

166

Native speakers often say shorter, more casual things, like I'm good, or not bad, or even pretty good.

167

So if someone says, how are you, you can try saying, I'm good, thanks.

168

It sounds very natural.

169

Another common mistake is not using short answers.

170

For example, if someone asks you, is this your bag?

171

You can say yes, or yes it is.

172

You don't always need to say the full sentence.

173

Yes, this is my bag.

174

A short answer is often more natural.

175

Good point.

176

So yes it is, or no it isn't, are perfect.

177

OK.

178

We have given you a lot of information.

179

Let's do a quick recap.

180

Let's practice the key phrases together.

181

Great idea.

182

say the phrase slowly then leave a space for you to repeat it ready mark ready first the basic greetings hello good morning my name is excellent now phrases from meeting people it's nice to meet you it's nice to meet you too now Now, questions to start a conversation.

183

Is this seat free?

184

Is this the English class?

185

And finally, some small talk about the weather.

186

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

187

Yes, it is.

188

Wonderful.

189

You are doing great.

190

Remember these phrases.

191

You can write them in a notebook.

192

Practice them every day.

193

Yes, practice makes progress.

194

You don't need to be perfect.

195

Just try.

196

Every small conversation is a big victory.

197

So, that's all for our main topic today.

198

We hope you feel a little better about social anxiety.

199

Remember, it's a normal feeling, and you can manage it with these simple English phrases.

200

We believe in you.

201
