Conversation is not about making, it is about telling.

The habit of assembling sentences before speaking.
We can't help it because we 'learned' English in school.
However, when you try to make long sentences like this in a conversation, the flow keeps getting interrupted and the conversation becomes awkward.
You can communicate much more naturally by using only short expressions that you can use right away without hesitation.
As the conversation continues with short phrases, you'll gain the confidence to say, "Huh? I can have a conversation!" and move on to the next step.
This way, you can communicate more effectively in English.

OTT, SNS, MBTI...
English is also something we need to talk about these days.

'English that shortens the meaning by one word if it means the same thing' has met the 'modern lifestyle' of today's people.
In today's interconnected world, English is already a part of our daily lives.
How long are we going to keep asking how you're doing? Netflix, Instagram, TikTok, MBTI...
The English we actually speak is not the school English that focuses on grammatical perfection.
It is living English in the present progressive tense that is closely related to real life.
You will be able to communicate in English using modern conversational expressions that are in line with current trends.

Speaking out loud for even just one minute is a conversation.

We also provide natural conversation audio files (MP3 downloads) from native speakers and training files.
Memorize and role-play one-on-one conversations, sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend.
Invest just one minute per page a day to speak English.
The secret to English proficiency is not a grand plan, but consistency in speaking English every day.
『Short and More Common English X-Conversational Expressions』 will be a great resource for you.
