  • Today, we're going to be practicing your speaking and conversational skills by having a conversation.

  • You and me.

  • What is it gonna look like?

  • I have prepared a dialogue.

  • One line is for me and the other one is for you.

  • You will see them on the screen.

  • I'm going to say my line and you're going to read your line out loud on the screen and that's going to be your response, and then vice versa.

  • The first line will be yours and the second, mine.

  • This exercise will give you already ready lines and answers to use in real life with other people and get you prepared to have conversations.

  • In addition, you might pick up a phrase or two.

  • I prepared a part of a dialogue between two friends or acquaintances who haven't seen each other in a while and accidentally run into each other, which is the story of my life.

  • I chose this type of conversation because honestly, this is pretty much the conversation I've been having with people lately.

  • Because it's true, you never have the time to meet up or even give a call to your friends these days.

  • Well, at least this is how it is for me.

  • There's so many things to do and there's just 24 hours in a day, which as it turns out is absolutely not enough.

  • So let's start.

  • I'm saying my line and then you will see your line on the screen and say it out loud as if you were answering to me.

  • Oh, hey, how've you been? It's been a while.

  • Hi Anna. Yeah, it has. I haven't seen you in ages. So, what's new with you?

  • Oh, I have so much to tell you. Are you in any kind of a hurry, or how about grabbing coffee and catching up?

  • Sure, sounds great. I don't have to be anywhere.

  • Awesome! Let's go then. Who would've thought we'd cross paths like this?

  • I know, right? What a coincidence.

  • I have honestly been meaning to call you this whole time, but I've just been so busy lately.

  • So many things have been going on, and I've just been doing what I can to handle it all.

  • I know exactly what you mean. It feels like life has become a little crazy lately.

  • And now we switch lines; the first one will be yours and the second, mine.

  • So now you start.

  • Oh hey, how've you been? It's been a while.

  • Hi, Anna. Yeah, it has. I haven't seen you in ages. So, what's new with you?

  • Oh, I have so much to tell you. Are you in any kind of a hurry, or how about grabbing coffee and catching up?

  • Sure, sounds great. I don't have to be anywhere.

  • Awesome! Let's go then. Who would've thought we'd cross paths like this?

  • I know, right? What a coincidence.

  • I have honestly been meaning to call you this whole time, but I've just been so busy lately.

  • I know exactly what you mean. It feels like life has become a little crazy lately.

  • Ok. That's it, guys.

  • I hope you enjoyed this little practice video and found it useful.

  • Oh, hey, how've you been?

  • It's been a while.

  • Hi, Anna.

  • Yeah, it has.

  • I haven't seen you in ages.

  • So, what's new with you?

  • Oh, I have so much to tell you.

  • Are you in any kind of a hurry, or how about grabbing coffee and catching up?

  • Sure. Sounds great.

  • I don't have to be anywhere.

  • Awesome.

  • Let's go, then. Who would have thought we'd cross paths like this?

  • I know, right?

  • What a coincidence.

  • I have honestly been meaning to call you this whole time, but I've just been so busy lately.
