How to Learn Basic Phrases in English
As you read each phrase below for the first time, say it aloud four times. Yes, four times! (They’re short phrases.)
Then, print this list of phrases.
If you have a conversation partner, ask your exchange partner to say the phrases while you record them on a smartphone, computer or recording device. That way you can listen to the recording and practice the pronunciation by yourself at home.
Then, choose two phrases each day to focus on. Here’s what you could do every day to learn each phrase:
Picture a situation in your mind where you could use the phrase. Imagine the other people in the scene and what they’re saying. See yourself saying the phrase.
Listen/look for the phrase while you watch TV, listen to the radio, read blogs, etc. You can even search for a word or phrase in FluentU to instantly find authentic English videos that use it.
Plus, every FluentU video comes with built-in learning tools like vocabulary lists and interactive subtitles, so you’ll learn even more real-world English
Then, use the phrase in casual writing.
Finally, use the phrase in 2-5 real conversations.
