Today in this episode, let's look at some bad strategies and attitudes that don't quite work in a conversation.

I mean, like having awkward conversations.

Next, you'll practice your fluency with a ministory lesson, The best way to learn to speak English without translating

mentally. Okay, let's start with an important question. Do you think you're too old to learn English?

I have always thought that it's never too late to learn a language, and I have always

had students of all ages using my method successfully.

But a few days ago, I received an email from a student in Greece, saying something like

this.

Dear Georgiana, hello, I'm delighted to see your programs. I think you give your soul to every lesson.

My mother tongue is Greek, and I am proud because our language has a positive contribution to the English vocabulary.

I'm also proud that I try to improve my English, even though I'm 94 years old.

Georgiana, I encourage you to continue with your English lessons. I admire you.

Thank you, dear Erotocritus for your kind words. You're an inspiration for all of us.

So, you see, I think I've made my point.

It's never too late to learn English.

All right.

Have you ever been with someone and not know what to talk about?

It's happened to me sometimes.

Every once in a while, we run into situations where it's difficult

to continue the conversation. One example is what happens in an elevator. Imagine that you

meet a neighbor you hardly know, and a typical dialogue ends up going like this. Good morning. Good morning. Going down?

Yes. It's cold today, isn't it? Yes, yes. It's going to be like this all week, they say.
