As everyone knows, the corner stone (key) to improving your language skills is through conversation. Through conversation comes practice and though repetition one learns. However, for some people, starting up a conversation is the hard part especially in a foreign language.
So next time you are stuck for words, choose one of the following examples to ‘break the ice’.
Formal Greeting
Hello\How Are You?\How do you do?\Pleasure to meet you\How are you?
Good evening\Good Day\Good Morning
Informal Greeting
Hi\What’s up? \How’s it going?
Follow up…
Try some of the following out at school or in a similar situation. You can amend them to suit your environment.
- Beautiful weather, don’t you think so?
- So, do you come here often?
- Are you also new here?
- Where do you come from?
- Allow me to introduce myself, my name is….
- Have you been to this school/café/bar before?

and if you were an Australian greeting a friend (cobber) or mate you would say, G’day mate!
I really like to know how to start a conversation.
