    Yes, certainly agree with you Emma absolutely. The real live small talk should occur as so spontaneously and freely as you can do that on your own! Generally speaking, I finally was able to start speaking in English owing to these essential advice you're talking about in the lesson, that has helped me very very much! I wish all the student would be able to come through the same way!

    • @mmmEnglish_Emma
      @mmmEnglish_Emma  Před 10 měsíci

      @davesmith6436 Před 10 měsíci

      @@mmmEnglish_Emma
      That needs to be a main goal, I'd even say so, Emma!
      Yeah, surely, I can give some piece of advice 'n' recommendations for starting English learners. I can share my own experience, my own way to fluency in English. I began to have practice in English whilst I was living in my country. I was Skype programe to connect with other students around the world, we were talking to each other about simple topics, discussing daily issues by using simple vocabulary 'n' grammar. Not only did I chat with my friends on Skype but also I was learning more complex English grammar simultaneously! I had three greatest books (I'm convinced, you know them Emma!), they're still with me. Only later, unless I moved to an English-speaking country, I started to leverage everything I knew 'n' learnt, I immersed myself in English at once, tried to talk to strangers, at hotels, cafes, in a taxi, on buses, trams... Subsequently, I was feeling that I was boosting all of my English skills whether it's a listening, speaking, reading, writing or pronunciation, the real practice with natives has given me a gigantic progress! I'm sorry about there weren't such fabulous lessons like yours, Emma but luckily I managed to perform my difficulties! I managed to *break the ice!* (cool idiom, isn't it?) For some moment, I just felt I could get more, much more! In other words, I couldn't put up with a minimum, I've always wanted to get more, as much as I was capable to perceive! It seemed to me, I was capable of getting better 'n' better in my hard work in English, a lot more!.. As a result, I learned to comprehend an English fast speech like my native one! It was the supreme goal for me that moment! I've reached that! That long process wasn't easy at all, you know! Finally, I actually have what I really have! Additionaly, I'm undoubtedly so proud of being your faithful student, dear Emma!

      Yes true - there are many other things that happen in real-world contexts - background noise, distractions, tone, body language - in addition to accent, pace of speech, slang, etc. I would encourage you to think about every new conversation opportunity as 'experience' - you are broadening your experience in English conversations and each time you encounter a challenging situation, you are building your experience & your ability to manage the situation better next time!
