Small talk with a foreigner I met for the first time
 |
Description
Book Introduction
When you get lost in a conversation, English magically enters your head.
Most English conversation textbooks feature the main character's foreign friends.
But how often do you actually have foreign friends from the start when you're just learning English? This thought inspired the planning of this book.
In fact, most foreigners we meet are strangers.
So, it is right that our English conversation preparation should focus on conversations we have when we first meet a foreigner rather than everyday conversations with them.
This book explains how to converse with strangers and how to make friends with them, using well-organized theories and abundant case studies.
We often think that we can improve our English skills by talking to foreigners, and we try to have conversations with foreigners to achieve this.
However, if you try to enjoy conversations without worrying about your English skills, your English skills will actually improve.
With a little consideration, a little imagination, and a little courage, this method will dramatically improve your English skills.
So, are you ready?
