Sarah and Mike slow things down and walk through seven of them, from small talk at a party to telling a waiter that the wrong dish arrived, so you have real words ready when the moment comes. If you have ever gone quiet because a stranger asked you a simple question, this English podcast is for you. What do you say when someone asks how you like their city and your mind goes blank? Over these seven scenes you'll practise starting small talk with a stranger at a party, introducing yourself at a work event, asking someone to repeat more slowly, saying sorry when something came up and you have to move a dinner, ordering food your way ("chicken, with the salad dressing on the side"), and disagreeing kindly with "I see what you mean, but" and "You have a point". You'll also hear how to explain the same idea again more simply, using "in other words", when the first try doesn't work. This episode is perfect for B1 English learners who want to handle everyday situations with more confidence, from party small talk to polite complaints, using natural spoken phrases instead of textbook sentences. 💡 Tip: When you miss a word, say "Sorry, could you say that more slowly? ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:31 Talk About Everyday Conversations in English 2:39 Making Small Talk with Follow-Up Questions 5:35 Saying You Did Not Understand 8:11 Making, Changing and Refusing Plans 10:42 Explaining a Problem and Asking for a Refund 15:18 Talking About Work and Disagreeing Politely 20:05 Vocabulary Review & Next Episode 📚 Vocabulary in this episode • froze: sudde…","meta_description":"7 Conversations Every English Learner Should Be Able to Have | B1, B2 Podcast | Everyday English Academy Some conversations come back again and again, no…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1408,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/everyday-english-academy-7784342/episodes/7-conversations-every-english-learner-should-be-able-to-have-b1-b2-english-podcast/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/everyday-english-academy-7784342/7-conversations-every-english-learner-should-be-able-to-have-b1-b2-english-podcast.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
