jump into today’s topic
how to improve your language and speak
more through preparation okay let’s get
into part one why you should prepare for
conversations ahead of time if you’re a
beginner you can probably relate to this
when it comes to speaking you tend to
run out of things to say and that’s
because you don’t know enough of the
language to express yourself and that’s
where preparation comes in you may think
that the conversations we have in our
daily lives are spontaneous that you
can’t prepare for them you’re right to
an extent but imagine meeting someone
for the first time both of you will go
through some common questions and
phrases like what’s your name my name is
where are you from and how long have you
been studying the language as a language
learner you’ll have these kinds of
conversations with almost every native
you meet guaranteed they’ll always ask
you about how long and how you’ve been
learning and even with your friends some
conversations start the same way for
example you say things like hey how are
you how are things how was your weekend
my weekend was good and you let’s say
you went to a restaurant this weekend
man now you want to talk about it well
that allows you to prepare and learn
some phrases like I went to a restaurant
the restaurant had delicious food the
point is some questions and phrases come
up often in conversations so it makes
total sense to master them ahead of time
and you can always plan ahead and
prepare for things you want to talk
about when it comes time to speak you
know what to say how to respond and you
don’t run out of talking points as
quickly so how do you prepare let’s jump
into part two the first thing you can do
to prepare is check out our 25 questions
you need to know lesson series this
series is specifically designed to help
you with the first time conversations

learn the 25 most common questions and
answers used in conversations just

will serve as talking points so you can
keep your conversations going number two
print out the curriculum for this lesson
series so you can review all of the
lessons at once the curriculum gives you
the lines and vocabulary
in all lessons upfront so you can use
this to review key questions and
responses this will allow you to control
conversations and ask questions instead
of just having the native speaker ask
you all the questions in other words
you’ll sound like a fluid confident and
experienced speaker number three check
out our printable conversation cheat
sheets this is another free resource
that gives you lines and words for all
kinds of topics for example talking
about hobbies your family and much more
number four ask yourself what do you
want to talk about come up with some
topics and for each topic write out
potential questions and phrases that
would come up in a conversation for
example if you want to talk about
restaurants you can have lines like my
favorite restaurant is my favorite food
is what’s your favorite restaurant and
then run these lines through a
translation app it won’t be perfect but
it’ll give you lines to use that you can
