Conversations can be had using short English expressions of an average of 5 words.

Two characteristics of everyday expressions used by native speakers.
1) It is short in length.
2) The words are easy.
Then, we too can respond using simple and easy expressions just like them.
Just by knowing the short English expressions in this book, you can communicate more naturally, more English-speaking, and more confidently with native speakers in everyday life.

Improve your listening skills with two versions of audio files!

One reason why we can't understand native speakers speaking casually is because we're not used to their speaking speed.
To do this, listen to it twice: in a clear, articulate version and at a native speaker's everyday pace. Check your expressions with the clear, articulate version, tailored for EFL learners. Listen and repeat after the native speaker's everyday speech, complete with gestures.
You will experience that the effectiveness of your English will be doubled.


Short English expressions X Gestures = Senseful communication

Learning a foreign language is not just about being able to hear and speak that language.
Even if you say the same thing, the meaning and nuance can change depending on the gestures of the speaker.
Memorize short, everyday conversational expressions frequently used by native speakers, along with gesture images, and practice listening and speaking them.
If you practice speaking by changing roles, you will be able to respond naturally and immediately to short remarks that native speakers make in passing.
