EASY ENGLISH CONVERSATION: How to tell a story in English

Telling stories during conversations can be difficult for English learners, but it’s an important skill to have and a great way for people to get to know you. In this class, I will teach you how to tell a story during a conversation. I will teach you key expressions we use to start telling a story including: “Did I ever tell you about...”, Let me tell you about...”, “That reminds me of...”, and “You’ll never guess what happened!” I will teach you key words and some grammar (i.e. simple past tense, past continuous tense) that we often use when we tell a story. Finally, learn a great phrase to use if no one laughs at a funny story: “You had to be there.” www.engvid.com/easy-english-c...

[@milescabia]

Hi! I'm trying to learn Spanish and you're trying to learn English! I'm inviting you to be my learning partner. The fastest way to learn a language is to practice speaking. We can talk maybe 30minutes to an hour every day. You learn English from me and I learn Spanish from you. Let me know if you're interested.

[@milescabia]

Hello guys! My name is Miles. I'm learning Arabic, Farsi, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. If there's anyone here that is a native speaker of those languages and is also learning English, I would like to invite you to become a learning buddy. I can help you with English and you help me learn too with your native language. The fastest way to learn is to practice talking. So let's do it together- learning from each other! If you have a friend or you know somebody who wants to learn too then he or she can join! It's going to be fun and it's free! We can use zoom or Google meet or other apps for our sessions. Keep in touch if you're interested.
