How To Communicate With Native English Speakers In English

  • [Narrator] The problem.

You want to speak to English
speakers, but you feel nervous,

you can’t understand, and
you don’t know what to say.

Well don’t worry, today
I will teach you how.

Welcome to speak English with Tiffani.

I am teacher Tiffani, let’s jump right in.

So here’s the truth about
native English speakers.

First, they are willing.

Native speakers, specifically
Americans, are usually willing

to talk to you.

Second,

they talk to others.

Native speakers talk to
strangers frequently, so they are

seen to be quite friendly.

And third, they are interested.

You see, native speakers have opinions,

and they are interested in
other people’s opinions.

So let’s look at the five
steps to help you communicate

with native English speakers.

Now, we must remember that
the term “communicate” means

an exchange of facts, ideas, opinions,

or emotions by two or more persons.

In other words, it means to
inform, to express feelings

and to influence.

So, let’s keep going with the first step.

Alright, number one, how to start.

The first thing you need
to do is let them know

you are an ESL learner.

Don’t be shy, don’t be ashamed.

It’s better to let them know.

So you could do this by
saying “Hi, my name is Sue.

“I’ve been studying English
for almost two years

“and I love it.”

So what happen?

By saying “I’ve been studying
English for almost two years”

you let the person know that you are

an ESL Learner.

Okay, so the person listening
to you will have a better

understanding.

Or you can say “This is my first
time speaking with a native

“English speaker.”

Well right here by saying
“my first time speaking with”

you’re letting the person know
that you are an ESL Learner.

This is what you need to do.

Or you can also say “It
is nice to talk to you.

“Please forgive me if I make
any mistakes while speaking.”

So right here you say “Please forgive me.”

“Please forgive me.”

So what’s happening is
you’re once again letting

them know that you are an ESL Learner.

Or you can say “Hi, I’m
from Brazil. I love learning

“and speaking in English.
Are you from America?”

In this example we’ve done two things.

First, you’ve said the
country that you are from,

and it’s not a native
English speaking country.

And you also said “I love
learning and speaking in English.”

But this word right here is the key.

Again,

it shows that you are

an ESL Learner.

Alright, and you could
also say “Hello, I’m Max.

“My hobby is studying English.”

Well, right here we have
“hobby” that means, once again,

you are an ESL Learner.

This is step number one, how
you should start when you’re

trying to communicate.

Now, number two, how to choose a topic.

You see, the second thing you
need to do is find a topic

that interests you
both, something you both

want to talk about.

So, what to do is think about
your personal interests,

and you want to pick three of them.

So, right here we have,
maybe you like fishing,

maybe you also enjoy running
and exercise, maybe you like

extreme sports or painting
and drawing or even baking.

Well, what you want to do
again is pick three of them.

Okay, this is all happening in
your mind, pick three of them

then what you’re going to do
is, the native speaker needs

to know more about you,

so say your top three interests.

You can say “I have many hobbies,

“but I really enjoy running,
baking, and drawing.”

Okay, so this pattern right
here “really enjoy” means you’re

going to focus on your top three.

What you’re going to do next is give

the native speaker a chance to answer.

You’re going to ask them
about their hobby or interest.

And how you do that, you
just say “How about you?”

This is asking them for their interests.

Alright, now, warning, don’t
pick a topic you are not

interested in.

If a topic comes up that
you are not interested in,

try to change the subject, okay?

You don’t want to get stuck
when you’re communicating with

a native English speaker,
you want to be able to speak

fluently and comfortably.

Okay, let’s go to number
three, How To Listen.

The third thing you need
to do is listen closely

to what they say.

So, this is what happens, in
your mind you want to be able

to recognize the who,
what, when, where and why

in the native speaker’s statements.

Basically, you’re listening for the 5W’s.

Remember, if you need to get
a refresher on this, go to the

lesson, the link is in the
top right of this video

that talks about the 5W’s and
how to recognize them, okay?

Now, after that, as you
are listening, you need to

find the key point.

In other words, listen for the
most important part of what

they are saying.

Okay, this is all happening
inside of your mind as you’re

listening.

Now what you’re going to
do, finally, as you listen,

you need to find something
that you are curious about,

in other words, find something
to ask a question about.

Remember, curious, this word,
just means something that you

are interested in.

Interested in or want to learn more about.

Want to learn more about.

That’s what the word curious means.

Warning number two,
don’t assume that native

English speakers don’t
want to listen to you.

Instead, think positively
before you speak,

you can do it.

So let’s go on to number
four, how to answer.

The fourth thing you need
to do is give an answer

that leads to more talking.

This is how you do that.

The first key point to answering
is to restate the question

or previous comment.

You see, you’re going to be
talking about a lot of things

and they’re going to be
making a lot of statements.

What you need to do is, as
you’re listening, pick one thing

and then restate it when you speak, okay?

Alright, now, the second key
point to answering is to give

your opinion on what they said.

For example, you can say “I
think…” or “In my opinion…”

You’re giving your
opinion on what they said.

Now, the third key point
to answering is to use the

following equation for your answer.

First thing you’re going to
do is give your response,

as you’re giving your response,
you want to give one proof

for why you think that,

and the last thing is you want
to give a follow-up question.

This is key,

giving a follow-up
question, back and forth.

Remember, this is what it’s all about

when you’re having a conversation.

If you need to brush up or get
a refresher course go to the

video on the top right corner
that talks about how to master

English conversation.

It’s a back and forth in a conversation.

Okay, number five, how to end.

The fifth thing you need to do is

end the conversation

properly.

So let’s look at some ways
to end the conversation.

Here is the first example of
how to end a conversation.

You can say “It was great talking to you.”

You see right here you’re
giving a little bit of emotion.

“It was great talking to you.”

It means you enjoyed speaking with them.

The second example of how
to end a conversation is

“Let’s do this again.”

“Let’s do this again.”

So you’re showing that you enjoyed,

and you want to speak again.

You want to speak to that person again.

The third example is “It was
great chatting with you.”

The word chatting is just
another way of saying talking.

Talking comfortably or in a relaxed way.

“It was great chatting with you.”

Or for the fourth example you
could say “I really liked how

you said… Let’s talk more.”

In this spot right here, what
you’re going to do is restate

something that was interesting
from your conversation.

Restate something that was interesting,

something they said
during your conversation

that was very interesting.

It shows again that
you were listening well

and you’re also saying “let’s talk more.”

Now, the fifth example is

“Thank you for the great
conversation. Have a good day.”

We talked earlier about
saying “great” and now we have

“Have a good day.”

You’re letting them know
that you appreciated

the conversation and you want them

to enjoy the rest of their day.

Now this is a warning.

Don’t act like you understand
something if you don’t.

In other words, instead of
pretending, it is better to ask

them to repeat what they said.”

Please remember this.

Don’t be shy, don’t be
embarrassed, it’s okay to ask them

to repeat if you don’t understand.

  • [旁白] 问题。

你想和说英语的
人说话,但你感到紧张,

你听不懂,
你不知道该说什么。

好吧,别着急,今天
我教你怎么做。

欢迎与 Tiffani 说英语。

我是 Tiffani 老师,让我们直接进入。

所以这是关于
以英语为母语的人的真相。

首先,他们愿意。

母语人士,特别是
美国人,通常愿意

与您交谈。

其次,

他们与他人交谈。

母语人士
经常与陌生人交谈,因此他们

看起来非常友好。

第三,他们感兴趣。

你看,母语人士有自己的观点

,他们对
别人的观点很感兴趣。

因此,让我们看一下
帮助您

与以英语为母语的人交流的五个步骤。

现在,我们必须记住
,“交流”一词意味着两个或多

个人交换事实、想法、意见

或情感。

换句话说,它意味着
告知、表达感受

和影响。

所以,让我们继续第一步。

好吧,第一,如何开始。

您需要做的第一件事
就是让他们知道

您是 ESL 学习者。

不要害羞,不要害羞。

最好让他们知道。

因此,您可以通过
说“嗨,我的名字是 Sue。

”我学习英语
已经快两年了

“我喜欢它”来做到这一点。

那么会发生什么?

通过说“我已经学习
英语快两年了”,

您可以让对方知道您

是 ESL 学习者。

好的,这样听你的人
就会有更好的

理解。

或者您可以说“这是我第
一次与以

“英语为母语”的人交谈。”

好吧,在这里说
“我的第一次交谈”,

您就是在让对方
知道您是 ESL 学习者。

这就是您所需要的

或者你也可以说“
很高兴和你说话。

“如果我
在说话时有任何错误,请原谅我。”

所以在这里你说“请原谅我”。

“请原谅我。”

所以发生的事情是
你再次让

他们知道你是一名 ESL 学习者。

或者你可以说“嗨,我
来自巴西。我喜欢学习

”并说英语。
你来自美国吗?”

在这个例子中,我们做了两件事。

第一,你
说你来自哪个国家

,它不是一个以
英语为母语的国家

。你还说“我喜欢
用英语学习和说话 .”

但是这里的这个词是关键。

再一次,

它表明你是

一个 ESL 学习者。

好吧,你
也可以说“你好,我是 Max。

“我的爱好是学英语。”

好吧,就在这里,我们有
“爱好”,这再次意味着,

您是 ESL 学习者。

这是第一步,
当你尝试沟通时应该如何开始

现在,第二,如何选择主题。

你看,你需要做的第二件事
是找到一个

你们都感兴趣的话题,
你们

都想谈论的话题。

因此,要做的是考虑
您的个人兴趣,

并且要从中选择三个。

所以,就在这里,
也许你喜欢钓鱼,

也许你也喜欢跑步
和锻炼,也许你喜欢

极限运动或
绘画甚至烘焙。

好吧,你想
再次选择其中三个。

好的,这一切都在
您的脑海中发生,选择其中三个

然后您要做的
是,母语人士需要

更多地了解您,

所以说出您的前三个兴趣。

你可以说“我有很多爱好,

”但我真的很喜欢跑步、
烘焙和画画。”

好的,所以
这里的这种模式“真的很享受”意味着你

将专注于你的前三名。

你会做什么 接下来要做的是

给母语人士一个回答的机会。

你要
问他们的爱好或兴趣。

你是怎么做的,你
只说“你呢?”

这是问他们的兴趣。

好吧 ,现在,警告,不要
选你不

感兴趣

的话题,如果出现了
你不感兴趣的话题,

试着换个话题,好吗?

你不想
在交流的时候卡住 与

以英语为母语的人,
你希望能够

流利和舒适地说话。

好吧,让我们转到
第三点,如何倾听。

你需要做的第三件事
是仔细

听他们说的话。

所以,这就是发生的事情 ,在
您的脑海中,您希望

能够识别母语者的陈述中的谁,
什么,何时,何地以及为什么

基本上,您正在听 5W 的

。Rem ember,如果您需要
对此进行复习,请前往

课程,该视频右上角的链接是

关于 5W 以及
如何识别它们的链接,好吗?

现在,在那之后,当你
在听的时候,你需要

找到关键点。

换句话说,倾听他们
所说的最重要的部分

好的,这一切都
在你听的时候发生在你的脑海中

现在你要做
什么,最后,当你听的时候,

你需要找到
一些你好奇的东西

,换句话说,找到一些
可以提出问题的东西。

记住,好奇,这个词,
只是表示

你感兴趣的东西。

感兴趣或想了解更多。

想了解更多。

这就是好奇这个词的意思。

第二个警告,
不要以为以

英语为母语的人不
想听你的话。

相反,
在你说话之前积极思考,

你可以做到。

那么让我们继续
第四点,如何回答。

您需要做的第四件事
是给出

一个导致更多谈话的答案。

这就是你这样做的方式。

回答的第一个关键点
是重述问题

或先前的评论。

你看,你会
谈论很多事情

,他们会
发表很多声明。

你需要做的是,在
你听的时候,选择一件事

,然后在你说话的时候重述,好吗?

好的,现在,回答的第二个关键
点是

对他们所说的话发表您的意见。

例如,您可以说“我
认为…”或“我认为…”

您是
在对他们所说的内容发表意见。

现在,回答的第三个关键点
是使用

以下等式来回答。

你要做的第一件事
是给出你的回应,

当你给出你的回应时,
你想给出一个证据

来说明你为什么这么认为

,最后一件事是你
想给出一个后续问题。

这是关键,来回

给出一个后续
问题。

请记住,这就是您进行对话时的全部内容

如果您需要
复习或进修课程,请前往

右上角
的视频,了解如何掌握

英语会话。

这是对话中的来回。

好的,第五,如何结束。

您需要做的第五件事是正确

结束对话

因此,让我们看一些
结束对话的方法。

这是如何结束对话的第一个示例

您可以说“与您交谈很棒”。

你在这里看到你正在
给予一点点情感。

“和你聊天真是太好了。”

这意味着您喜欢与他们交谈。

如何结束对话的第二个例子是

“让我们再做一次”。

“让我们再做一次。”

所以你表现出你很享受

,你想再次发言。

你想再次和那个人说话。

第三个例子是“
和你聊天真好”。

聊天这个词只是
说话的另一种说法。

舒适地或以轻松的方式交谈。

“和你聊天真是太好了。”

或者对于第四个例子,你
可以说“我真的很喜欢

你说的……让我们多谈谈。”

在这个地方,
你要做的是重述

你谈话中有趣的事情

重述一些有趣的

事情,他们
在你的谈话中

说的非常有趣的话。

它再次表明
你听得很好,

而且你也在说“让我们多说点”。

现在,第五个例子是

“谢谢你的精彩
对话。祝你有美好的一天。”

我们之前谈到
说“很棒”,现在我们有

“祝你有美好的一天”。

你让他们
知道你很欣赏

这次谈话,你希望

他们享受他们剩下的一天。

现在这是一个警告。 如果你不

明白,就不要表现得好像你明白了
什么。

换句话说,
与其假装,不如让

他们重复他们所说的话。”

请记住这一点。

不要害羞,不要
尴尬,

如果你不明白,让他们重复也没关系 .
