120 Small Talk Sentences | Slow English Listening & Speaking Practice (A1-A2)

Do you freeze when you meet new people? Do you worry about "awkward silence"? Small talk is the key to making friends and sounding natural in English. Welcome to the Better English Podcast! My name is James. Today, we are doing a Small Talk Marathon. In this massive practice session, we will learn 120 essential sentences to help you chat confidently in any situation. We will cover greetings, the weather, your job, your family, hobbies, and how to end a conversation politely. This is a Slow Listening and Speaking Practice designed for A1 (Beginner) and A2 (Elementary) learners. 🔥 HOW TO PRACTICE (The "Listen & Pause" Method) 🔥 This is an active speaking practice. You must speak! I will not add long pauses in the video. You control the speed. I will say a sentence (slowly and clearly). I will then explain the sentence. YOU must PAUSE THE VIDEO. Speak the sentence out loud. Take your time. Press "play" to continue to the next sentence. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS MARATHON: Part 1: Greetings: "How's it going?", "Long time no see." Part 2: The Weather: "It's freezing!", "It looks like rain." Part 3: Work & Jobs: "I work in an office", "My job is busy." Part 4: Family: "I have two kids", "I live with my parents." Part 5: Hobbies: "I like reading", "I'm into sports." Part 6: Travel: "I went to Spain", "I love the beach." Part 7: Food: "What is your favorite food?", "I am hungry." Part 8: Current Events: "Did you hear the news?" Part 9: Politeness: "Thank you", "I appreciate it." Part 10: Ending the Conversation: "I should get going", "Keep in touch." WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! 👇 We have two questions for you. Please answer in the comments: Where are you listening from? (We love our global family!) What is your favorite small talk topic? (The weather? Sports? Movies?) If you love this marathon, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the Better English Podcast.
