Hello lovely students and welcome back to English with Lucy.
2
Today's lesson is all about how to master the art of English conversation.
3
It can feel extremely awkward to start conversations in social situations where you don't know anyone
4
and it can feel even worse when it's not your mother tongue or your first language.
5
To help you out I'm going to give you some of the best conversation starters
6
that I use so you can feel confident
7
and talk to anyone in any situation important
8

17
So let's start with our first topic, keep it simple.
18
If you're someone who typically feels uncomfortable making small talk, feel free to keep things simple.
19
You don't need to come up with any out of the box questions, just be yourself.
20
A great way to kick off any conversation is with a sincere greeting and introduction.
21
For example, Hi, I'm Lucy.
22
It's a pleasure to meet you.
23
It's simple but effective and it's great for social events where you don't know many people.
24
At work you could say, hello, I'm Lucy.
25
I just started in the marketing department.
26
I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself.
27
This is great for when you've started a new position and don't know many of your colleagues yet.
28
It shows that you have a genuine interest in meeting the people you might be working with.
29
There are many simple questions you could ask to get a
30
conversation going after you've introduced yourself like what do you do
31
for work have you read any good books lately what have
32
you been up to today what's the last show you binged
33
you consumed quickly all at once do you have any travel
34
plans coming up now obviously it's important to be aware of
35
the situation don't just randomly throw out these questions read the room
36
and make sure you're listening to what other people are saying so that you can ask appropriate at the right time.
37
Next point.
38
If you're ready to branch out from some of the more simple conversation starters,
39
one of the best things that you can do to instantly strike up conversation is to give a genuine compliment.
40
Compliments help make a person feel appreciated and seen, and they are great for instantly making a good impression and building rapport.
41
And it doesn't need to be some over the top compliment
42
or one that has the potential to make the other person feel awkward.
43
Just give a genuine compliment and flash a bright, cheerful smile, not a crazy one.
44
The beauty of this technique is that it works in basically any scenario, whether you're at a party or in a job interview.
45
At a party or another social gathering, you could say something like, I love how you've decorated your house, it feels so cozy.
46
Or, I'm obsessed with your earrings.
47
Or, wow, your shoes are gorgeous, where'd you get them?
48
Asking a question at the end helps to keep the conversation flowing.
49
At the office, you could say something along the lines of, Your work always shows so much attention to detail,
50
how do you do it? or that was a really great question you brought up in the meeting today.
51
If you're at a conference or a networking event, you could say, you have an excellent way with words.
52
It was a pleasure to hear you speak.
53
Practice giving heartfelt compliments and see how many new friends you instantly make.
54
Next point, when in doubt, talk about food.
55
This one might seem odd, but if you have doubts about what to say in a social setting, just talk about food or drinks.
56
Think about it.
57
Everyone has to eat or drink.
58
And so it's something common that we all share
59
and the beauty of this topic is
60
that it works in nearly all situations at a party where did you get
61
that drink it looks amazing or you have to try the spinach dip it's delicious
62
definitely my favorite so far
63
or have you tried any of the appetizers any recommendations i tend to hold pretty strong opinions about food so
64
if someone were to ask me some of these we would
65
talk all night now let's say you're in a more professional setting you could ask something like
66
do you have a go-to spot to grab a coffee around here?
67
Or, hi, I'm Lucy, today's my first day, and I was wondering if you have any recommendations of where to get a quick bite to eat.
68
Just then I introduced myself and brought up food, the perfect conversation starter.
69
Now you could even use this food idea on a first date.
70
If there's a bit of a dull moment during the conversation, you could say something like, so I'm a bit of a foodie.
71
How about you?
72
Do you have a favourite type of cuisine or any must try restaurants in town.
73
I know, I asked quite a few questions, but one of them is sure to get the conversation flowing again.
74
I also shared a little piece of personal information about myself there, which brings us to our next topic.
75
Make it personal.
76
If you want to connect with people, you need to speak from a place of authenticity.
77
And you can do this by sharing something interesting about yourself, like telling a little anecdote or even cracking a few jokes, maybe a few self-deprecating ones.
78
A Brit's favourite weapon.
79
If you're interested in British humour, I made a video all about it, and I've linked it down below.
80
Yikes, I can't believe how underdressed I am for this event.
81
A comment like this can break the ice, show you're quite humble, but you don't necessarily have to go down that route.
82
Anecdotes are also great, and these are personal stories or experiences
83
that can add depth and relatability to a conversation and bonus points if they're funny.
84
Here are some examples of some types of anecdotes you could share.
85
Speaking of hiking, I went hiking near here last weekend and the views were incredible.
86
Where do you usually go?
87
Or you mentioned you tried making Gordon Ramsay's scrambled eggs.
88
Me too, and they came out terribly, but I'm eager to try them again.
89
Do you have any tips?
90
Notice that I'm providing some personal insight, but I'm also asking questions, showing my conversation partner that I'm actively listening to what they're saying.
91
You should also try to find common ground.
92
What shared interests do you have?
93
Do you work in the same field?
94
One of the easiest ways to start a meaningful conversation is to talk about things you have in common, like in the office,
95
heard you've just been to costa rica i actually lived there for five years how was it
96
or on a plane
97
if they want to talk i see you're reading hemingway he's
98
my favorite author have you read any of his other books
99
or a work event what programs do you recommend for continuing education in software engineering these questions are quite specific
100
and require strong observational skills but with practice you'll be having conversations everywhere and that brings us to our next topic
101
Asking questions.
102
If you haven't been able to tell by now, asking questions is quite important.
103
By asking questions, you show the speaker that you're genuinely interested in what they're saying.
104
It's important to ask open questions that can't be answered with a yes or a no, so that you can then ask follow up questions.
105
This will ensure that you have a natural, flowing conversation.
106
Here are some different questions for various scenarios.
107
For example, at work, what are you working on right now?
108
Anything exciting?
109
Or what are your plans for for this weekend?
110
What's the best part of your job?
111
How has AI been impacting your job?
112
Dating?
113
What helps you relax after a long day?
114
What do you do for fun?
115
What's your biggest pet peeve?
116
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
117
In networking or business conferences, which presentations have you enjoyed so far?
118
Why did you sign up for this conference?
119
If you had to give a talk here, what would your topic be?
120
What other workshops have you attended?
121
Any you recommend?
122
All of these questions help you come off as being interested in the person you're conversing with, and they have the potential to spark some interesting conversations.
123
And this brings me to my last tip of the day, sit back and listen.
124
This doesn't require much talking at all.
125
One of the biggest misconceptions about conversing is that you need to do all the talking and that's not entirely true.
126
In fact, if you go on and on and on, you might end up seeming self-absorbed.
127
I've experienced lots of conversations like this at networking events.
128
Starting a conversation with a stranger isn't always easy and I understand your worries about
129
stumbling over words or dealing with those cringe-worthy, awkward silences, but here's a neat trick to ease the pressure.
130
Shift your focus to the other person.
131
After breaking the ice, it's all about asking follow-up questions throughout the conversation.
132
Trust me, this can lead to more engaging discussions than if you spent the whole time talking about yourself.
133
Show genuine interest and curiosity in the other person, make them feel interesting.
134
You can ask some of the questions I previously shared with you
135
but the key is to listen to the speaker
136
so these simple skills can work wonders
137
and soon enough you'll be making meaningful connections with people
138
and the more you practice the better you'll get at it
139
give it a shot put yourself in some uncomfortable situations
140
and who knows you might make some great new friends along
141
the way i've met some of my best friends by pushing myself out of my comfort zone right
142
that brings us to the end of today's lesson don't forget to download the free PDF.
143
The link is in the description box.
144
We've got all of the tips plus some extra information I think you'll find really useful.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
