Why is English conversation so hard?
The conversation starts, but sometimes it ends very awkwardly because you don't know
what to say.
Actually, English conversation is kind of like tennis.
In tennis the players hit the ball back and forth, back and forth.
Sending and receiving.
Sending and receiving.
It's the same with English conversation.
Welcome to Speak English with Tiffani.
I am Teacher Tiffani and today I am going to teach you How to MASTER English Conversatio
Are you ready?
Well then, let's jump right in.
English conversation is something that every English learner desires to be good at.
But in order to master it, you must first understand it.
There are three types of English conversations.
Once you understand them, you will become a master of English conversation.
The first type of English conversation is "Experience".
This type of conversation is focused on you discussing something that has happened to
you or something that you did.
There are three steps to follow in order to master this type of English conversation.
The three steps are, How to Answer, Follow up questions, and What to listen for.
First let's look at how to answer.
For this type of conversation, the most important thing to do is to give detailed information
about your own personal story or situation.
You can do this by including the following information.
Who, what, when, and where.
Next let's look at follow up questions.
The next thing you need to do is to ask a question.
This question gives the person you are talking to an opportunity to also tell their own experience.
For example, What about you?
What was your experience?
And Have you ever experienced that?
Finally, let's look at what to listen for.
In this part you need to pay attention to what they say.
Listen for something interesting about their experience.
So, you can listen for one key point and then ask them about it.
So, if we look at an example Experience Conversation, it would go like this.

We went to Dallas, Texas.
