Phrases from the video will also help you create a dialogue in English:

The skill of fluent speaking at the beginning of learning any language seems, if not unattainable, then certainly requires a lot of effort, which often scares off beginning polyglots who are not used to hearing their own voice speaking another language. However, you need to speak English from the very beginning of studying, and this section will help you get off to an easy start. Video files with text and audio tracks will help you not only remember how individual phrases are constructed, but also how they are pronounced.

Dialogues in English are presented in different thematic aspects: in this section there are both elementary questions that students answer at the very beginning of learning the language, and individual situations that will be useful in cases where you are learning a language solely for travel. You can play out the situations presented either alone or in pairs.

Simple dialogues for getting to know each other

Anyone who attended English classes at school knows where learning it begins: just with acquaintance. This is done not only because the teacher needs to get to know the students as soon as possible, but also because information about oneself rarely affects lexical blocks unknown to the beginner. Of course, the need for a full introduction in the case of communication with a native speaker may not arise, however, you will already be able to briefly talk about yourself, listing the most important points of your biography.

For those who study English on their own, dialogue, for example, will be very useful. – the interlocutors meet for the first time, ask each other’s names. Of course, the speech is slowed down and made as clear as possible (in spoken English it will probably be more difficult), but a beginner can already listen to how to get acquainted and repeat after the participants in the video.

Another, no less important question is? - an obligatory part of any acquaintance, especially abroad. Of course, you can’t go into a detailed description of the cultural aspects and traditions of your country yet, but you can learn how to clarify the nationality of your interlocutor and even the homeland of his accent!

And, of course, how can one live without observing the rules of politeness in the life of your interlocutor and his close people? Study these dialogues, and you won’t even notice how your confidence in your own knowledge of a foreign language will greatly increase!

Dialogues for specific situations

Stepping outside the classroom (and comfort zone) can introduce yourself to a more challenging environment than meeting one person to interact with. Even if you are still at the Beginner level, you may find yourself in a situation in which you will need to ask questions, for example: or about the building you need (in the place of “Holiday Inn” you can put anything: a train station, a shopping center, a hotel). By the way, these dialogues can be modified by adding prepositions of place and direction that you already know: using them regularly will help you remember them faster!

Perhaps the most common question for tourists abroad who are desperately looking for someone to ask for advice is: When this question is asked, communication can be said to have begun as the speakers have established the language of conversation.

Of course, when you find yourself in a situation that requires language proficiency at a sufficient level to exchange information (as a rule, this applies to those moments when you come to a restaurant or even a simple store abroad), you have to use not only the passive use of language through speech patterns, but also active - you have to listen to your interlocutor and understand his answer. However, there are two very important points at work here:

• pre-worked dialogues in English allow us to assume, at least in theory, that they can answer you, and you will be less afraid if you have at least a rough idea of ​​how to behave;
• It’s much easier to start a conversation if you have a few phrases in stock, albeit memorized, but absolutely correct in both the grammatical and lexical sense.

There is good news: if your interlocutor sees that you have problems with language, he may start to monitor himself and use simpler vocabulary, or even sign language. In a word, communication will still take place, even if you fail to understand what exactly was answered.

Of course, to consolidate the material, you need to repeat it not just once, but several times, but you still shouldn’t sit endlessly on one dialogue. Over time, you can even think about composing your own dialogues - let the form remain the same, but the content changes slightly. This will help you consolidate the grammatical structures you have learned and get on the path to independently composing colloquial phrases in a foreign language.

To compose a dialogue in English yourself, you should first of all imagine its structure, draw some analogy with your everyday dialogue in your native language.

1) Any dialogue begins with a greeting. What it will be depends on who you talk to. If this is an official or official (your boss, teacher, city mayor, just a stranger), then it is better to use a construction similar to the Russian “Good afternoon/evening” or the neutral “Hello” - “Hello” . If you are talking with a friend or another person close to you, you can use free and emotionally charged greetings, such as: “Hi!”, “How do you do?”, “Hey, What’s up?”.
(Note: in informal dialogues, the greeting phrase often includes questions such as: “what's new, how are you?” It will sound something like this: - Hi, what's going on? – Not much (or Thanks, I'm ok ).

2) The response is constructed in a similar way. We respond to a strict greeting with the polite and dry phrase “Hello, pleased to meet you.” (Hello, nice to see you)
(Note: if you already know the person, then add a title:
Mister + name (to a man) Missis (to a married woman)
Miss – (to a young girl)) We respond to a friendly greeting in an unobtrusive manner so that the dialogue looks as natural and relaxed as possible.

3) Now let’s decide on the purpose of our conversation. Let's look at examples:

A) Invitation
— for friends: — How about the cinema? (How about a movie?) - What are your plans on Monday? Do you want to go to the cinema? (What are your plans for Monday? Do you want to go to the movies?) Pretty universal questions. The answer is also simple. –Sounds nice, let's go. (Sounds tempting, let's go) or Sorry, I'm busy on Monday. We will do it next time. (Sorry, I'm busy on Monday. We'll do it another time)
(Note: you can add an introductory sentence before questions or requests, for example: I know, you like watching films. I'm sure there is something interesting right now - I know, you like watching films. I'm sure there is something really interesting that is being shown in the cinema now)
- official
Would you like to + verb (Would you like to + verb)?
Would you mind... (Do you mind)?

B) Request
(Note: We actively use the word “please” and “excuse me” (excuse me, i’m sorry), regardless of the type of dialogue, this is a sign of your good upbringing).
-friendly: Can you bring this book for me, please? (Can you get this book for me?)
-official: Could you help me, please? (Could you help me?)
Would you mind (verb +ing) opening the window? (Could you open the window?)
Could I bother you to find me a book? (Sorry to bother you, could I ask you to find me a book?)

B) Request for information
-with friends:
Tell me about... (tell me)
What do you thing about…? (what do you think about…)
-with officials
Could you tell me (could you tell)
What is your opinion on the problem of…? (What is your opinion on the problem?)

Question words for writing sentences in order to find out information about an object of interest: Where (where?) When (when?) How (how?) How long (how long) How many (how much (for a countable)) How much (how much for an uncountable, for example, money, time) Which (which of) Which (that).

Don't forget to thank your interlocutor for the information received.
Thank you a lot (Thank you very much)
My gratitude (My gratitude)

If necessary, you can express your personal opinion using the following phrases:
Pesonally, I believe (I believe)
From my standpoint (from my point of view)
As for me (as for me)

4) Farewell

• Goodbye (goodbye, universal for both types of dialogue)
• It was great to meet you (it was great to meet you)
• All the best (all the best)

Friendly farewell:

• See you (see you)
• Bye (bye)
• So long (for now)
• Hope to hear from you soon (I hope to hear you soon)

- Can I help you?
— Yes, I need to go to Pushkinskaya Street.
— You have to go straight on Tverskaya Street to the monument to Pushkin.
- Thank you.

- I can help you?
- Yes, I need to go to Pushkinskaya Street.
— You need to go straight along Tverskaya Street to the Pushkin monument.
- Thank you.

It's always interesting to talk with a good friend. Especially about food.

• Hello Mike. What have you been up to? (Hi Mike. What have you been doing?)
• Hello Brian. Nothing much and what about you? (Hi Brian. Nothing at all, what about you?)
• I just returned from the shop. I have bought 3 kilos of salmon, 2 loafs of bread, a turkey, 5 kilos of oranges and cereals (I just returned from the store. I bought 3 kilos of trout, 2 loafs of bread, turkey, 5 kilos of oranges and cereals)

• And what are you going to cook on Thanksgiving? (What are you going to cook this Thanksgiving?)
• I am going to cook a turkey, as always. I will make a crab salad, salad with olives and mushrooms and mashed potatoes. (I'm going to cook the turkey like I usually do. I'll also make crab salad, olive and mushroom salad, and mashed potatoes.)
• Can I come? (Can I come over?)
• Of course (Of course).

You came to a restaurant and the waiter came to you.

• Good day to you, sir. May I take your order? (Good afternoon sir. May I take your order?)
• Certainly. But at first I would like to hear today’s special meals. (Of course, just to start, I'd like to hear what special dishes you have)

Welcome everyone to my blog!

Today I would like to discuss such a controversial issue in the study of foreign languages ​​as use of dialogues. Many teachers and students believe thatdialogues in Englishare indispensable for those who want to master this language perfectly, but there are also many opponents of this technique.

Dialogues and naturalness of speech

Learning a language by studying grammatical rules and getting acquainted with outstanding literary works in a foreign language is a great way to learn a language without being able to use it in practice. Correct speech from a grammatical point of view does not always sound beautiful and adequate from the point of view of a native speaker. But beautiful literary expressions and complex vocabulary will not help in everyday communication between friends.

Many teachers, including university ones, often force their students to memorize large chunks of complex texts and recite them. In this way, they hope to instill in students a sense of language, that same inner voice that, in difficult moments, tells whether a certain phrase sounds good in a foreign language or not. They also hope to expand their vocabulary and improve their intonation.

This approach makes sense. really expands the vocabulary, and recitation improves the pronunciation skills of sounds and intonations that are alien to the Russian ear.

However, it is much more effective, especiallyfor beginners and children, learn simple and short dialogues. Lots of dialogue these days with translation and audio can be found and downloaded in the Internet. In particular, a large number of materials on various topics for download can be found on my blog:

(audio versions of the dialogues will be posted during the fall-winter 2018-19)

Actively listening to audio or watching video dialogues, which are also freely available on Youtube, you can quickly learn to communicate in different situations of everyday life and make your speech natural.

The enormous benefits of dialogue can be illustrated by the following example. In English-speaking culture, the ability to carry on small conversations about nothing, the so-called small talk much appreciated. Any stranger on the street, for example, at a bus stop, can say hello to you and talk a little about the weather. Or the cashier at the supermarket might ask how long you've been coming to America and wish you a good day.

This is alien to Russian culture, and many people get lost in such situations. For example, we are not used to smiling at strangers on the street and freely talking to them about anything. But a successfully maintained spontaneous conversation can significantly motivate in learning a foreign language and make you believe in your abilities. Colloquial modern phrases for everyday communication can be gleaned from dialogues.

Dialogue 1

- Hi there!

- Hi! What's your name?

- My name is Ann. And yours?

— My name is Kate. Nice to meet you!

- Nice to meet you too.

- Hello!

- Hello! What is your name?

- My name is Anne. And you?

- My name is Kate. Nice to meet you.

- And me.

The first dialogue is devoted to the topic of dating. With its help, you can learn how to greet, introduce yourself and ask your interlocutor aboutwhat is his name, and also say: “Nice to meet you.” These are useful and necessary phrases every day that are rarely found in literature.

Dialogue 2

- Excuse me, Sir! Do you live here?

- Yes.

— Could you tell me, please, where Old Gloucester Street is?

- Sure. It's not far from here. Go straight ahead, then turn to the right and cross the square, and then turn to the right again.

- Thanks a lot!

- You're welcome.

- Sorry, sir! Are you local?

- Yes.

— Can you tell me where Old Gloucester Street is?

- Certainly. She's not far from here. Go straight, then turn right and cross the square, then turn right again.

- Thank you very much!

- Please.

Dialogues about orientation will be very helpful for those who are planning to travel abroad or live in a city where there are many tourists. With its help, you can learn to give instructions on how to find a particular place, as well as how to contact a passerby if necessary.

The ideal way to work with this species educational texts – listen to phrases for dialogue repeatedly. Read its translation to ensure that all words and phrases are understood. Then you can try to repeat each line after the speaker, also several times, trying to imitate his articulation and intonation as much as possible. And finally, speak or read the dialogue out loud yourself. You can learn it by heart, then the foreign words will be remembered better. But thisan optional item, since basic words and phrases will remain in memory after repeated repetition in different ways.

With this I say goodbye. I really hope that reading this article brought not only benefit, but also pleasure. See you again on my blog!

Communication between people in life occurs through dialogues. So, dialogues in English will help you consider different models of answers to certain questions, learn about the manner of communication in English.

What does studying dialogue in English with translation provide?
