Plan your conversations

When we speak, we usually use the same language over and over. It’s our safe language. We do it in our own language too. Have you ever heard someone use a word or phrase in your language and thought, “oh that’s a good word” and then found yourself using it in conversation the next day. It’s exactly the same when learning a second language but you have to work a little harder.

Think about language you’d like to use in conversation. Then think about how you could use it in conversation. Then go out and try to use it.
