Using English naturally

4:07

>> One thing I've noticed from filming

4:08

conversations with non-native English

4:10

speakers is that most people already

4:13

know English. The real challenge is

4:15

using it naturally in real

4:17

conversations.

4:18

This is why I'd like to introduce you to

4:20

our sponsor iTalki. As it's things like

4:23

knowing how to react, how to ask

4:26

follow-up questions, and how to avoid

4:28

those awkward short answers.

4:31

And that's exactly why I like using

4:33

iTalki.

4:34

iTalki lets you book one-to-one lessons

4:37

with real teachers, so you can actually

4:39

practice conversations like the ones

4:41

you're seeing in this video. What I

4:43

personally like is the flexibility.

4:46

You're able to choose your teacher, your

4:48

focus, and your schedule. There's no

4:51

subscription, either, so you just pay

4:53

per class. So, I recently booked a

4:55

lesson where we worked on specifically

4:57

keeping conversations flowing, reacting

5:00

naturally, and asking better follow-up

5:02

questions.

5:04

Usually it's people who might have

5:06

traveled to England before, or might

5:09

be usually learning English for their

5:11

own for

5:13

their own jobs that they currently do,

5:15

so uh working in their own country, and

5:17

they get a lot of English people

5:19

traveling. And that human interaction

5:22

makes a big difference. You can make

5:24

mistakes, you can get instant feedback,

5:26

and practice
