So glad I’m already following you. Not just about ESL - about communicating, getting to know people & having FUN. Helpful to me as a shy person looking for work. Thanks James and mr. E too.
Amazing. You know I’ve been struggling to open interesting conversations and missed many opportunities because of it. Thank you for these insightful questions monsieur James.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🤔 Five questions to make you the most interesting person in the room. 00:56 💫 Ask people about their superpower or something they're proud of to show genuine interest in them. 02:14 🤫 Discover people's secret passions or obsessions to create excitement and deeper connections. 05:23 🌟 Use "Imagine If" questions to stimulate imagination and conversation depth. 06:40 🎬 Ask about childhood dreams and explore how aspects of those dreams shape their current life. 08:31 🎭 Encourage people to imagine themselves in a movie and discuss the genre and actor portraying them. 11:13 💡Ask about the best piece of advice someone received and how it impacted their life, leading to deeper insights into their character.
That makes sense if you frequently are being interviewed a job, but if you are staying somewhere more then a year I think it’s pretty appropriate to bring up
James, thank you so much for such a great lesson. I loved it. Wish everyone to be surrounded by intelligent people who would like to have a long and inspiring conversation with you. These days it is tough to find the people without a phone in their hands. Speaking is a wonderful skill 😊
This is an interesting conversation. Today I revisited my list of superpowers I would like to acquire. It’s really long. I have gladly achieved some of the items.
Greetings dear James! Thank you so much for your sense of humour and your kindness which we always see in your lessons! I teach kids English and with teenagers we adore watching you so much. Would you please make a lesson about the Perfect tense Past and Present as of there's always a bit misunderstanding in using. And I would be endlessly thankful about Subjunctive as well ❤
Is my first time that watch you video and I,m very glad 😊 to watch another video Becouse I feel cofeidence more than before I came thnxs for helping us and we proud 👏 to you 😊
Hi! I really liked you tips and will try them on the first occasion, BUT I have a quastion: some people are closed up and don't enjoy talking about themselves - are there some cool topics that don't include personal stuff, feelings, thoughts (at least at first sight)?
@@baotrannguyenngoc9964 don't know what's your problem. It's not like I am dating him. I only ment to say so because he has not posted videos in a while. You should not care about people chating...
HELO JAMES. I Think you haven't done Business, Reporting english yet. We submit reports almost every monday and I would like to use best english when writing my reports
I don't look at as whose the most important in the room. I look at it as what common ground can I achieve with the person in the room because this helps me find a goal or value or plan to help further my communications with others.

Thank you. Last questions made me thinking about my life. Now, I need a person who can ask exact and important questions to give the light on my way.

i honestly don't like being asked about my super powers because that is a very frequent thing in job interviews.

Nice. I usually find some people very boring but still like them. These are good questions to get something interesting out of them.
These questions themselves mak this video interesting. Surely they are asked on occasions when you really want to bond with someone.

Brilliant. You must be a good person. Keep sharing in this way
Thanks a lot Mr. James, I really loved your way of explanation.

Well, "Dietrich" is not a very common first name in germany nowadays.
Why would i have to be the most important person in the room ?
I don't look at as whose the most important in the room. I look at it as what common ground can I achieve with the person in the room because this helps me find a goal or value or plan to help further my communications with others.
