Every conversation starts with a hello. We offer you two lists of expressions: formal and informal greetings in English. Use the former when communicating in a business environment or when meeting a person, the latter when talking with friends. In this case, you do not have to learn all the phrases in a row. To get started, you can learn just a couple of greetings, use them and gradually learn the rest.

Formal greetings in English are appropriate when you communicate with colleagues, business partners, and people you meet for the first time. In the latter case, you will also need to find out the name of the person, in response to give your own and say that you are pleased to meet him. Here is a set of phrases for a formal greeting:

PhraseTranslation

How to express your opinion on any issue

So, your mission was crowned with success: you attracted the attention of the interlocutor and he answered the question. Now it is important to keep his attention and continue the conversation. Most likely, your new acquaintance will ask a similar question to yours or ask for an opinion on a topic. To answer him confidently, you need to know how to express your opinion in English. Of course, you can immediately express your point of view, but we suggest that you learn special phrases that will make your speech more beautiful and persuasive. You can use them in both formal and informal settings. At a formal event, try to formulate your thoughts more gently, with less emotionality than when communicating with friends.

How to maintain a dialogue: phrases of agreement and disagreement in English

So, you have successfully started a dialogue with your interlocutor, discussing a topic, exchanging opinions with him. To avoid awkward pauses, after the exchange of views, continue the discussion: express your agreement or disagreement with the point of view of the interlocutor.

First, let's look at how you can express consent in English. All of the phrases listed below are appropriate in both formal and informal settings. They are neutral, so if you are at a social event, just say them in a calm tone, and at a party with friends, you can say them more emotionally. Note that the pronoun you in English means both "you" and "you", so you can't go wrong using the above phrases in any setting.

PhraseTranslation
I agree with you one hundred percent.I agree with you/you one hundred percent.
I couldn't agree with you more.I completely agree with you/you.
You're absolutely right.You are absolutely right.
Absolutely.Absolutely right.
Exactly.Exactly.
No doubt about it.Undoubtedly.
I suppose so. / I guess so.I guess so. (there is a small amount of uncertainty)
I was just going to say that.I was just about to say this.
That is exactly what I think.This is exactly what I think about it. / I think so.
I agree with you entirely. / I totally agree with you.I fully agree with you/you.
I am of the same opinion.I am of the same opinion.

And now here are some more emotional and informal phrases that are appropriate to use when communicating with friends:

PhraseTranslation
Tell me about it!Still would! / I don't know!
That is exactly how I feel.This is exactly what I feel.
Quite so!Quite right! / That's it! / Undoubtedly!
fair enough!I agree! / All clear! / Fair! / Logical!

With disagreement, things are somewhat more complicated. When you want to express disagreement in English, you need to be extremely polite so as not to offend a person, especially if you just met the interlocutor or are at an official event. We recommend using the following polite language to express disagreement:

PhraseTranslation
I'm afraid I disagree.I'm afraid I don't agree.
I beg to differ.I beg to differ.
Not necessarily.Not necessary.
No, I'm not so sure about that.No, I'm not so sure about that.
That's not really how I see it, I'm afraid.I'm afraid I see it a little differently.
I'm afraid I have to disagree.I'm afraid I have to disagree.
No, I disagree. What about...No I do not agree. How about...
On the contrary...On the other hand...
I'm sorry to disagree with you but...I'm sorry I don't agree with you, but...
Yes, but don't you think...Yes, but don't you think...
The problem is that...The problem is...
I doubt whether...I doubt...
With all due respect...With all due respect...
I am of a different opinion because...I have a different opinion because...

I accept what you are saying but...I understand what you're saying, but...
I see your point but...I understand what you mean, but...
I agree to some extent but...To some extent I agree, but...
True enough but...You are right, but...

If you are talking to your old acquaintance, you can express a more severe disagreement with his opinion. However, in the midst of a dispute, we still recommend that you think about what is more expensive for you: a friend or truth. To soften the severity of the following phrases a little, you can start your speech with I am afraid ... (I'm afraid ...).

PhraseTranslation
I can't agree. I really think...I cannot agree. I really think...
no way. I completely disagree with you.In no case. I absolutely disagree with you.

How to politely interrupt someone

To interrupt the interlocutor so that he does not take offense at you is a whole skill. Of course, it is best not to interrupt the person who is talking to you, but to endure until the end of his speech and only then speak out. However, sometimes there are situations when you just need to urgently intervene in the conversation and stop it when you are at a formal event, or "insert your five cents" in a conversation with a friend. In this case, try to pause in your speech and say one of the following phrases. And to make it sound as polite as possible, don't forget to say Excuse me... first.

PhraseTranslation
Can I add/say something here?May I add something on this matter?
Is it ok if I jump in for a second?May I insert a few words?
If I might add something...If I may add something...
Can I throw my two cents in?May I put in my five cents?
Sorry to interrupt, but...Sorry to interrupt you, but...
Can I just mention something?May I mention something?
Do you mind if I come here?May I join the conversation?
Before you move on I'd like to say something.Before you move on to the next topic, I would like to say something.
Excuse me for interrupting but...Sorry to interrupt, but...
Excuse me for butting in but...Sorry to interrupt, but...
Just a moment, I'd like to...Wait a second, I'd like...
I apologize for interrupting...I apologize for interrupting...

We would like to focus on polite language, but sometimes it becomes necessary to abruptly interrupt the interlocutor. For example, if a person has touched on a topic that is painful for you or is trying to humiliate someone around you, you need to act more decisively. Use the following phrases only as a last resort, they are harsh and rude, after such a statement the interlocutor may be offended.

If you interrupted the person politely, expressed your opinion, then you need to give him the floor again. Use one of the following phrases:

Desirable and undesirable topics for conversation in English

So, we have given you good phrases that will help you start and maintain a conversation in English. It remains only to understand what to talk about: what topics of conversation are welcomed by English speakers, and which ones are best avoided.

  1. Events in the host city

    A good topic for conversation is the recent events in the city. The only condition is that the events must be good, evoke positive emotions, for example: a city day, the opening of a new ice rink, etc. You should not discuss the news about a maniac or a recent accident, this is not pleasant for anyone.

  2. Funny case

    Laughter brings people together, helps them loosen up and relax - exactly what you need when talking. Remember a funny incident from your life and tell it to your interlocutor, this will help you find a common topic for conversation and feel more free.

  3. Travels

    Traveling and stories about distant (and not so) countries are liked by almost all people, so this is a fertile topic for conversation. Tell us about your trip or just ask the interlocutor if he likes to travel and where he has already been.

  4. Work

    An ideal topic of conversation, especially if you are talking to a person at a formal event. At the same time, the rules of courtesy require that the conversation take place in a positive way. That is, you may be interested in whether a person has been working in his industry and in a particular company for a long time, which attracts him to work. Avoid questions about salary and attitude to management, in this case it is inappropriate.

  5. Hobby

    Well, who refuses to talk about their favorite activities?! Ask a person what he likes to do in his free time, how long he has been fond of his hobby, etc. A real strong friendship sometimes begins with such an unobtrusive conversation.

  6. Music, books, movies

    The simplest and most obvious thing is to start a conversation by finding out the musical and other tastes of the interlocutor. Try to discuss the latest in the world of music or cinema, as well as book bestsellers, this will help you quickly establish contact with the interlocutor.

  7. Holidays

    Think about the next holiday and ask the person how they usually celebrate it, where they recommend you go and how to have fun.

  8. Food

    A theme from the category of universal. If you are at a banquet, then it would be quite logical to say an unobtrusive phrase that the dishes are excellent, or to ask the interlocutor if he knows what those pretty canapes are made of.

  9. Weather

    The topic is rather banal, but unobtrusive, it will come to the rescue if you do not know where to start a conversation in English.

  10. Sport

    A harmless and quite interesting topic, especially if you are going to start a conversation with a man. However, keep in mind that you yourself must be interested in any kind of sport, otherwise you simply won’t be able to keep up the conversation on this topic.

  11. Entertainment establishments (local bars, cafes, clubs, etc.)

    Ask your new friend which places to visit and which ones to stay away from. And if he himself recently arrived in the city, you can offer to go together to some interesting place.

What to do if you are being rude?

Unpleasant interlocutors from time to time come across to everyone. What to do if you are rude? If you respond to a person with similar insults, then you will drop yourself in the eyes of others, so we recommend that you do things differently. Sometimes it happens that a person “breaks down” on you, and then asks for forgiveness if you managed to cool his ardor. In any case, we advise you to adopt the following phrases that will help you decisively and at the same time politely deal with rudeness.

PhraseTranslation
Whatever you say.As you say.
Well, I think we've reached the end of this conversation.Well, I think we're done.
You don't really expect me to answer that, do you?You don't really expect me to answer this, do you?
Oh! Did you mean to be that rude?Ouch! Did you intentionally/deliberately rude me?
I think that was a bit rude.I think it was a little rough.
You just offended me.You hurted me.
I'm sure you didn't mean to be rude, but that's how you sounded.I'm sure you didn't mean to be rude, but that's how it sounded.
I don't really know how to answer that.I don't even know what to answer you.
I feel hurt by what you are saying.It hurts me to hear what you say.

These are the phrases you can answer the rude. We do not recommend engaging in a skirmish with him: you should not waste time and nerves on such people, especially since you can almost forget English from stress and still do not give weighty arguments, so your words will not be convincing.

Hello my dears.

Let's start today with a question for you. How can you start developing your child's conversational language?

But it's true! Indeed, at the beginning of his journey, your baby's vocabulary for free conversation is at its lowest level - if not to say that it does not exist at all. And it’s not always possible to talk “not freely” either. So what's the way out? And the way out is this: dialogues for children in English.

Surprisingly, this technique has found a response in the hearts of both many children and their parents. The secret here is simple: you can read or listen to simple dialogues - at first I would even advise mini-dialogues - to disassemble individual words and phrases in them and recite them. Read them with translation, listen to them in audio and learn.

Today I will give you several different options, on various themes and varying complexity.

The practice of speech for preschool age is distinguished by its simplicity and themes. It is easiest for such small children to remember what surrounds them: colors, animals, family, etc. Let's start with the "Greeting" and "Introduction" dialogs. For example:

-Hi.(Hello/Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening)
-Hi.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And yours?
-My name is Diana.

-Hi . (Hello / Good morning / Good afternoon / Good evening)
-Hello.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And you?
- My name is Diana.

This is the easiest option to start with. You can develop the conversation further, for example, like this:

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years old.

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes, I do. Do you speak English?
- Yes, I do.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes. BUT do you speak English?
- Yes.

You can also use this extension:

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I am from London.

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I'm from London.

This is the most elementary thing that you can do with your baby today.


And here are the options, for example, for grade 2 on the topic of family:

-How many family members do you have?
-I have 4 family members. A mother, a father, me and my older sister. And you?
-I have a father, a mother. I do not have any sisters or brothers.
-This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister is Olya. She goes to school already.
-My mother's name is Alina, my father's name is Nikita.

-How many family members do you have?
-It's four of us . Mom, dad, me and my older sister. And how many of you?
-I have a mom and a dad. I don't have any sisters or brothers.
- This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister Olya. She already goes to school.
My mother's name is Alina, my father's name is Nikita.

For grade 3 students, you can combine dialogue and game " I can see something blue…". For example:

-I can see something red...
-It's an apple. It's a towel. It's a shoe.
-I can see something green...
-It's a flower. It's a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
-It's a ball.

-I can see something red...
-This Apple. This is a towel. This is a boot.
-I can see something green...
-This is a flower . This is a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
- It's a ball.

Talking about animals will help you quickly learn the right vocabulary.

-Do you have a pet?
-Yes, I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
-My dogs" names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish is called Loopy.

-Do you have a pet?
-I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
My dogs' names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish's name is Loopy.

A good variant of the theme is a hobby. For example:

-Do you like football?
-Yes, I do. My favorite football team is Barcelona. And you?
-I do not. I like basketball and tennis. What about reading?
-I like reading. I read several books per week. And do you like reading?
-I do not. I like watching films. My favorite films are "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars".

-Do you like football?
-Yes. My favorite football team Barcelona. And you?
-I don't. I love basketball and tennis. How about reading?
-I like to read. I read several books a week. Do you like to read?
-Me not. I love watching movies . My favorite movies are Harry Potter and Star Wars.

In addition to the previous one, you can add the following:

-How did you spend your summer?
- We went to the sea. The town was beautiful and the sea was very warm. And you?
-I was in the village with my grandparents. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

-How did you spend your summer?
- We went to the sea. The city is beautiful and the sea is very warm. And you?
-I was in the village grandma and grandpa. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

For grade 5 students who already have a good lexical base, you can connect all these dialogues, and reveal all these topics one by one: greet, acquaintance, family, animals, hobbies, etc.

The last thing I want to say, my dears, is that with the help of such mini-talks, your little ones can quickly learn new words, as well as get rid of the fear of talking. I can give you some advice:

  • don't try right away embrace something big and complex Take small steps towards your big goal.
  • be sure that your child is familiar with all the words when you say something. Words learned by heart, the meaning of which remains unknown, will do absolutely no good..
  • combine the use of this method with some kind of game so that the baby naturally memorized vocabulary.

I recommend that all children and their parents take this course from Lingualeo « For the little ones» . This online course - in a playful and very enjoyable way - will captivate your child and make him ask you “I want to play English again”. My daughter still likes it)), although we bought it a decent time ago.

That's all, my dears. I hope that these materials will help you in learning the language. Moreover, you can get even more materials by subscribing to my blog mailing list. Improve your English with my help every day.
