264: So many words, so little conversation

264: So many words, so little conversation

Christy asks: "How can I get better in English conversation?"

In Today's Episode:
  • Studying and acquiring vocabulary is just the beginning
  • You learn to communicate in a foreign language by actually communicating
  • Communication between different cultures relies on lots beside just language - body language, cultural difference, hierarchy
  • Get out there and start spending time with foreigners! Meetups, societies, language exchanges... whatever you can do!
  • Don't worry about making mistakes, and treat every interaction as an opportunity to improve!
