Improve your spoken English from home with 101 real-world conversations in simple, everyday English.Real English people don’t speak like your textbook… so it’s no wonder you feel unprepared when it’s your turn to speak! This book fixes that. For the first time, you’ll learn to speak English in the REAL world, with 101 authentic conversations in simple, spoken English, so you can become confident in the words, phrases and expressions you need to communicate like a local.
You’ll be transported into a real-world story that unfolds between six characters, told by the people themselves in 101 authentic conversations. Over 15,000 words of real English, you’ll immerse yourself in a gripping drama and get an education in natural English in the process. Here’s what you’ll get:
101 conversations in simple English, so you can learn real English as spoken in the street, understand spoken language with ease, and have English roll off your tongue more fluently
With over 15,000 words of dialogue, you’ll have an exciting resource that will immerse you in English, at a level you can understand, so you can learn real spoken English without getting lost or overwhelmed
Real, daily spoken English throughout – it’s as if we held up a microphone and recorded the exact words coming out of people’s mouths – so you can learn the expressions that real people use on the street (not in textbooks). You’ll sound more authentic when you speak and make English-speaking friends more easily.
Situational dialogues from typical daily circumstances, so you’ll prepare yourself to survive realistic English encounters, in shops and caf�s, and make meeting people and making arrangements second nature
Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for beginners (A2-B1 on the CEFR), so you can start to learn from real, spoken conversations, even as a beginner, without having to go through the rollercoaster of difficult conversations with strangers
Each conversation is limited to around 15 lines of dialogue (150 words), so you can get that crucial sense of achievement and motivation when you finish each conversation, and say “I actually understood all of that!”
Summaries of each conversation which contextualise each dialogue, so you can easily follow the plot and enjoy the story without getting lost
The story is set in London, England and includes some expressions that are typical in British English. However, the conversations use mostly “neutral” English that will help you if you’re learning American English, or any other variety of English too!
Created by Olly Richards, internationally-renowned language teacher and author, 101 Conversations in Real Spoken English gives you an education in real English that you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll be better prepared for using English in the real world, speak with more confidence, and take a giant leap towards fluency in English!
