Who is talking?
Hey! How are your English conversation classes going?
They're great! I'm really trying to improve my fluency so I don't pause as much.
That's awesome. Do you focus mostly on grammar or speaking in class?
Mostly speaking. Our teacher creates an immersive environment. We barely use our native language at all!
Wow, that sounds challenging. Do you ever get tongue-tied?
All the time! But making mistakes is part of the process. We do a lot of role-play to practice real-life situations like ordering food.
That's a good strategy. I need to expand my vocabulary. I feel like I use the same words over and over.
We use flashcards for that. Reviewing them constantly really helps with my retention of new words.
Nice. Are the classes one-on-one or in a group?
It's a small group. We do peer review sometimes, which is surprisingly helpful for catching our own mistakes.
I should look into joining a class like that. My pronunciation definitely needs some work.
You should! The teacher gives great feedback on our accents and pacing.
