HOW TO START A CONVERSATION IN ENGLISH
Sometimes the hardest part of speaking English is just starting a conversation.
To start a conversation with a friend you can use informal English expressions like these:
What's up?
How is it going?
The correct answer to ''whats up'' is ''not much''. You can then add a detail about what's happening in your life at the moment.
If someone says ''how is it going'' you can answer ''good'' or ''not so good''.
At work, with your college you can use more formal expressions like:
Hi john how are you doing?
How is your day going?
Have you heard the news about...
On friday you can start a conversation by saying...
Have you got any plans for the weekend?
and on monday you can open a conversation by asking:
How was your weekend?
At work you can talk about projects you are working on or about hobbies you have outside at work, current national and international news as well as sports are also good topics for starting a conversation.
What about when you see a friend who haven't seen in a long time
Here are some common expressions to start a conversation in this situation.
Hi Paula, how have you been?
Long time no see.
This expression simply means it's been a long time since the last time you saw this friend.
So what have you been up to lately?
How is your family?
Are you still working at abc company?
Your friend will probably ask you about recent developments in your own life too.
If another friend introduces you a new person you can ask:
How do you two know each other?
When you meet a new person you can ask:
So what do you do for living (what is your job) ?
If you ask how long have you been a teacher / how long have you been interested in music, this gives them opportunity to talk about their past and history of their career or interests.
Starting a conversation that somenone you meet outside
The most common way to start talking is talking about weather.
It's a beautiful day isn't it?
It looks like it will rain.
Sure is a hot one today.
If the other person has a dog or child you can ask about them:
Your dog is so cute what's it's name?
Starting a conversation with a stranger
The secret to start a conversation in this case is to make a comment about the current social context.
Here are some examples of how to do this:
At an art gallery:
That's an interesting painting. What do you think about it?
At a bar:
This is a great song. I love Latin music. How about you?
At a sports game:
Wow that was a great play.
At a concert or an event:
What a great turn out. Have you ever been before?
At a playground:
My kids are full of energy today.
Don't ask direct personal questions to the other person !
You don't always need to ask a question to start a conversation, you can just comment about the current situation.
See you later !
