Hi, I'm Georgiana, your English teacher.

Thanks for joining me for a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

If you want to help, please share the podcast on social media.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, visit my website, speak Englishpodcast.com and subscribe to my free mini-course. In the next five days, you will discover

how to enhance your English fluency.

Okay, let's start.

Have you ever wanted to talk to someone for longer, but you got stuck, because you didn't

know what to say anymore?

When we speak a foreign language, we're often afraid to start a conversation

or to ask questions. We're worried that they won't understand us or that they'll merely lose

their patience as we try to formulate our sentences. If you still don't know how to continue a conversation in English, you'll need to learn.

Or the communication will end much too soon.

And you might not get a second chance to talk to that person anymore.

You can't always rely on the other person to make all the effort

and keep the conversation going. That's exhausting for many people and they may decide not to talk to you

again. Despite not having a very high level of English, you have no excuses. You must learn to be a fun and enjoyable talker.

And don't worry, I'll teach you some tricks. Imagine if you went to an event where everyone

speaks English. Wouldn't it be a shame not to be prepared for that kind of event? Let's be realistic for a moment.

No one likes uncomfortable silences, especially if we talk to this person for the first time.

Sometimes seconds pass. And if you don't say anything or ask a question right away,

the conversation is over.
