Synopsis
Max asks: "How can I hold Skype conversations if I'm just a beginner?" In this episode: Many people freeze up as a beginner because they lack vocabulary and confidence If you're willing to make mistakes, you can go far! Keeping conversations going as a beginner: "How do you say ___?" Ask questions Become a master at paraphrasing Success with this depends a lot on your teacher - see Olly's teacher in Thailand for an example of how this can work well: https://youtu.be/RWfVYUktRkE All this develops your communicative competence. But a "Tarzan" approach can leave you with gaps - e.g. grammar and key vocabulary It can be different between languages too You might prefer a more structured approach Choose a textbook to work through, and use your lessons to practise the content of individual modules --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/iwillteachyoualanguage/message
