Hello, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish.
2
This video is perfect for intermediate to advanced English learners who want to improve their skills in English conversations.
3
So I'm going to share the exact phrases and expressions that you need to do things in English conversations.
4
Like when you want to interrupt someone or you want to change the topic.
5
Maybe when you need to end a conversation and lots of others as well.
6
In fact, I'm sharing 50 useful phrases that will help you in English conversations.
7
All useful expressions that you need to improve your speaking skills and to help you maintain conversations for longer.
8
So I hope you're ready.
9
Let's get into it.
10
Music Now a lot can happen during a conversation.
11
Talking about the topic is one important part but to speak fluently and to speak with ease,
12
you need to have a range of conversation tools up your sleeve
13
because there are lots of other shifts and changes that happen during a conversation depending on who you're talking to,
14
what's going on around you and whether or not you're interested or not.
15
Right now, we're going to focus on the tools that you need to move around in your conversations easily and naturally.
16
Alright and if you make it through to the very end of this video, I'm going to share some advanced expressions to help you talk about controversial topics,
17
to help you express your ideas when you know that not everyone's going to agree with you, right?
18
And you want to prepare them for that.
19
Now if that sounds a little too intense for you
20
and maybe you want to start by focusing on simpler conversation strategies about just starting a conversation with someone,
21
then I recommend that you first watch this lesson up here.
22
So conversations are always two ways, right?
23
That's what makes a conversation.
24
So as you give your opinion or you share something, it's always nice to invite the other person's opinion, right?
25
And this is a really important strategy to help you extend your conversations, asking for other people's opinions.
26
So what do you say when you're asking for other people's opinions?
27
Well quite simply, you could ask, do you agree?
28
Very basic.
29
It's quite closed that question.
30
So what about if you opened up that question to get a more interesting answer?
31
What do you think about that?
32
What's your opinion?
33
Or how do you feel about it?
34
If you want to make it a little more polite, you might say, I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
35
Or I'm interested to hear your opinion about this.
36
And more formally, Maybe if you were at a meeting at work, you know, you might ask would you like to add anything?
37
And this is just, you know, a nice sort of polite way of inviting other people into the conversation to share their opinion.
38
So what about what to say when you want to interrupt?
39
When someone else is talking and you want to interrupt them, well there are definitely ways to do it rudely but of course there are many ways to do it politely as well.
40
Sometimes you have to interrupt in conversations.
41
So of course you could say sorry, excuse me is a little more polite
42
and then you can actually lead straight on with your different idea or your opinion there.
43
No it's just a little brief interjection to help you share a different opinion or a different thought.
44
Now you can informally interrupt someone to add an idea to a conversation by saying
45
Do you mind if I add to that?
46
Or Can I jump in here?
47
And that literally means can I jump into the conversation right now at this point?
48
I've got something to share.
49
I want to say it.
50
Now there are some more polite ways to express this as well.
51
You might say Sorry to interrupt but I've got something to say or sorry for interrupting.
52
Now there's not a lot of difference between those two.
53
I would just say that
54
sorry to interrupt
55
is probably used more when you're speaking directly to the person that you're interrupting
56
and then maybe if you're stepping into a room full of people talking,
57
a meeting room or something like that then you might say sorry for interrupting, I just needed to share something with you.
58
Now to go even more formal than that, perhaps if you're working in a hotel and you need to interrupt a customer,
59
you might say, Sorry, may I interrupt you for just a moment?
60
Or If I may interrupt you for a minute, I'd like to share something with you.
61
Oh actually, if you don't mind me interrupting for a moment, I'd love to tell you a little bit about the ladies project.
62
If you're a woman wanting to develop the confident English-speaking version of yourself that's just as expressive,
63
as intelligent and interesting as you are in your own language, then you should definitely check out The Ladies Project.
64
It's a lively online community that helps women around the world to meet and practise speaking English together.
65
We have real conversations about the things in life that are most important.
66
We can help you to quickly find reliable speaking partners offer you guidance from native teachers,
67
build your conversation skills and overcome your fears and your frustrations about speaking English fluently.
68
So if you want to keep improving your English conversation skills
69
or maybe you're looking for a way to maintain the skills that you've already developed, then I hope you'll come and check it out.
70
We're accepting new members right now but only for another week.
71
So to find out more, click the link in the description below.
72
Okay, where was I?
73
Ah, that was a good example of what to say when you've gone off topic.
74
If you go off topic, it means that you started talking about something.
75
So for example, apples.
76
But while you were talking, you started to talk about something else.
77
You know, maybe you got distracted or you got excited and went off telling a different story.
78
Or even the other person that you're talking to has gone off topic and you're thinking
79
how on earth did we end up talking about potatoes?
80
You've got to get your conversation back on track, right?
81
And it really is just that simple shift in the conversation.
82
So here's how to do it.
83
So anyway, getting back to my story.
84
As I was saying, where was I?
85
Ah yes!
86
You can also combine some of these expressions together.
87
So anyway, where were we?
88
Ah yes, you were talking about apples.
89
What to say when you think you understood but you need to double-check.
90
These are really important expressions to learn to help you as you're listening
91
so that you can feel more confident about your answers, You know when you're answering someone else's question,
92
this is just a little check to make sure you're answering it accurately.
93
So if you didn't quite hear perfectly,
94
you could say So what you're asking is and then repeat back what you heard.
95
So what you want to know is... and then repeat. Do you mean...
96
and then paraphrase what you heard?
97
Or you could say, in other words, what you're saying is...
98
And this is a really natural part of conversation.
99
Native speakers are not going to care
100
if you ask them to confirm what they said because it just makes it much easier to continue the conversation, right?
101
If you're working in customer service, maybe at a hotel or at a restaurant or something like that,
102
then using the verb confirm is a little more formal.
103
You might say I'd like to confirm what you said or excuse me,
104
can I just confirm that or what you said?
105
Naturally, we agree and we disagree with people all of the time, right?
106
And there are so many different ways to do this in English.
107
Agreeing is pretty simple, right?
108
You can just say yes, absolutely to say that you agree.
109
I completely agree with you.
110
And we have this really fantastic expression which is I couldn't agree more.
111
I couldn't possibly agree more.
112
I really strongly agree with you.
113
But what to say to somewhat disagree?
114
Now all of these examples are ways to say
115
that you accept some of the ideas that the other person has shared but you don't completely agree with them.
116
Okay so you might say I see what you mean but...
117
and then express, you know, a different opinion.
118
I understand your point of view but...
119
I can see where you're coming from but...
120
I agree with you up to a point.
121
However, I've got a different opinion.
122
So then what to say when you disagree completely?
123
I don't feel the same way.
124
Actually, I don't quite agree.
125
or I disagree.
126
I'm afraid I don't agree with you on that or about that.
127
Now this is quite an interesting English expression.
128
I'm afraid.
129
We use it when we're trying to make a statement more polite, not just to say that we're worried or we're scared.
130
I'm afraid I can't help you.
131
I'm afraid we've run out of sausages.
132
So it's just a way of making those statements a little more polite
133
and you can do the same thing when you're disagreeing.
134
I'm afraid I don't agree with you.
135
So to be quite formal when you disagree, then try to add a word like respectfully.
136
Respectfully, I have to disagree.
137
And then if you feel like your conversation isn't going anywhere, maybe there's a bit of tension,
138
people are getting frustrated and annoyed and you want to change the topic, Well we'll have to agree to disagree then.
139
It's a way to end the discussion, especially when it's getting a little heated and change the topic a little.
140
Now of course in English, you can be quite rude with your body language when you're disagreeing with someone.
141
So in formal situations or when you want to be really polite, try to be aware of what your body is doing.
142
So avoid shaking your head or rolling your eyes or sighing.
143
Unless you really want that other person to see that you're frustrated or you're annoyed with them.
144
Speaking of changing the topic, what do you say when you want to do that in English?
145
What to say to change the topic?
146
Now this is useful.
147
You might want to change the topic for a few different reasons.
148
It could be as simple as you've run out of things to say about the topic.
149
So instead of ending the conversation, you can simply change the topic and change direction.
150
Ah that reminds me.
151
Or it's speaking about or speaking of that.
152
You know this is a really useful expression or way of you know kind of linking two ideas in a conversation.
153
Speaking about your holiday to Greece, did I tell you that I've got a trip planned later in the year?
154
But maybe you just want to introduce something completely different.
155
So then you could try Oh by the way, did I tell you about this?
156
Or While I remember or before I forget, I've got something I want to say.
157
This has nothing to do with what we're talking about but I've got to share it anyway.
158
I know this is completely changing the topic but I've got to tell you.
159
Ah so what to say when you're talking about a controversial topic?
160
Now this is more advanced conversation skills but maybe you want to talk about politics, religion, social issues.
161
I quite enjoy learning about these topics and having discussions about these things
162
but I know that my views will not always be the same as everyone else's
163
but that doesn't mean that you need to avoid it, right?
164
You just need a few tools and a few tips to help you keep the conversation open and positive.
165
So when you're introducing an idea that you feel like not everyone's going to agree with, then you could try saying
166
I know not everyone agrees with me but this is what I think or I know this is a contentious issue.
167
Contentious.
168
And then go on to explain it.
169
It might be an unpopular opinion but I strongly believe...
170
I don't see eye to eye with everyone on this matter but I think it's really important to discuss this.
171
Whilst you may not agree with my views, I'm definitely interested in hearing yours.
172
I'm not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers here.
173
This is a fun little idiom to say I'm not trying to make anyone upset or angry.
174
You know, I'm just sharing a different opinion.
175
I'm not intending to ruffle anyone's feathers.
176
So having one of these simple expressions on hand will help you to politely end a conversation and move on, right?
177
We don't want to get stuck in a conversation.
178
Well I'd best be off.
179
It's been great chatting.
180
Anyway, I better get back to it or I better get back to work.
181
I'm so glad I ran into you.
182
It's been great catching up.
183
I'll see you soon.
184
So there you have it!
185
That was over 50 common phrases to help you have more advanced English conversations and help you to maintain those conversations
186
even longer.
187
Now all of these tools are ones that native English speakers use all the time in conversations.
188
So listen out for them in movies and podcasts, try to hear them in context.
189
Now definitely don't try and learn all of them at once, okay?
190
Not all 50 phrases at once
191
but definitely choose a couple of them from each category
192
and really start to get familiar with them and how to use them.
193
You guys know that you can catch me over on Instagram
194
and on Facebook and make sure you take a look at The Ladies Project too.
195
I've linked to it up here.
196
You can catch The Ladies Project on Instagram as well and as always, you can keep practising with me right now,
197
right there in that lesson.

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
