Follow these five easy steps to make your English sound more fluent starting today. 1)Smile and breathe. No matter what your level of English, confidence is vital. ... 2)Memorize examples with vocabulary. Don't just memorize lists of words. ... 3)Listen to learn. ... 4)Exercise your mouth muscles. ... 5)Copy a native speaker. Whoever reads this comment, I wish u achieved all the goals in your life and became a great person! Cheers, Afiya :^)

If you want to wish someone something good, don't use verbs after 'wish'. And 'wish' could imply something that you do not have. You should use 'hope' in case you want to use verbs to show goodwill.

People can be good in English, yet have a hard time making a conversation. So Marina making her examples situational and categorize them is such a big help for a lot of people. Also, the name tip is so useful 👌

i agree that in meetings - there is a lot of small talk at the start - in fact - that small talk usually starts before the meeting does - it starts when the first people arrive - and will last past the arrival of the last person - but in retail stores - asking something like where an item is - it is not required to make small talk - i don't think i've ever engaged in small talk with staff at a store

I love your advices Marina, you're my favorite english teacher on youtube. I'm an Haitian, and i follow all of your instructions every single day for becoming fluent in english
Not only two different intros but 2 different accent 😂
I would add that calling a person by his name, it has the most wonderful sound for him. Eg: if I say "How are you Marina?", hearing her name would be very exciting for her.

I've been a big fan of you since I started watching your youtube channel. It was about a month ago. I am an English learner. I've learned a lot from you. But one of the reasons I really like you is your voice. It's as clear as a bell, so it's easy for me to catch what you are saying and also a feast for my ears. Stay safe and have a nice day!
Thank you Marina for teaching us in such a responsible way.

This is so important to learn from you Marina about how to start a small conversation with our discipline of speech. Marina, When I watch those American movies and TV shows, I can learn English from them and Marina when I listen to the way you speak, I can improve my English further
It’s been a week since your video was released, and by your recommendation I’ve already finished watching Manifast😎 Agree, it’s one of the best tv series ever, very intriguing, shocking and sometimes very freaking. And I’m so glad that it was saved by Netflix and the fourth season will be out soon on this platform. Thank you for your very informative videos, they are very helpful. Now, good luck on your work and may your family be happy and healthy🤩🤩
Your English made my English good and I don't hesitate while making KZread videos. Thank you
Thank for uploading this video. Your voice is so clear and enthusiastist and feel very cheerful while learning English with you. Doing great job to help people get trained in english language which curisal part of their job.

Hey friend, how are you? I think some of your suggestions are actually nice for continuation of conversation rather than starting a conversation. In China, one of the conversation starter is "have you eaten?" and it actually means how are you. For me, "how are you? work like a magic to start conversation. However every culture has its own conversation starters. For example, when I live in Germany, while meeting we use bright smile 😁 almost a laugh and say Halo, wei gehet? But I returned to my country in Pakistan, my friend burst on me while I saw him first up and smiled. In case, you find other in a different emotional state, try to modify the starters to share their problems and providing a rationale for the bad situation. Anyways, I liked this video very much ❤️.
I don't know why, but I like first Marina better. She looks real and it's cool)
