  • A very important question for each one of you, “are you one of those who feel hesitant

  • to start a conversation?” who do not know… “are you one of those people who do not

  • know what should I say to begin a conversation with somebody?” Andare you one of those

  • as well who feel awkward when you have to say tata, bye-bye in a conversation?” Because

  • you're rushing, because you have a lot of work to doHi everyone my name is Hridhaan

  • and in today's lesson I bring to you some phrases that you can use to initiate a conversation

  • and to end a conversation. So this lesson is about how to perfectly start a conversation

  • and end a conversation, let's have a look at the aims of this lesson, in this lesson

  • we will understand the useful English phrases to start and end our conversation, so what

  • are we waiting for, let's get started

  • The first list that we will understand today is

  • about starting a conversation, a lot of people feel oh my god here is one person that I really

  • want to talk to, let's say in a party or at a conference or at a business meeting, but

  • you feel hesitant, you do not know the right language to start the conversation with that

  • person. Now here let's have a look at the first phrase that you can make use of to do

  • that, “long time no see”. Well this is one particular phrase that you cannot use

  • with strangers, right? It's gonna be funny because you're like long time no see and the

  • person is like baffled and the person feels scared, because the person does not know you.

  • This phrase can only be used with your friends and friends and family. So I'm just gonna

  • write fam here. This phrase can only be used with friends and family. If you have not met,

  • let's say acquaintances as well, if you did not meet that person for a very long time,

  • that's when you can say long time no see. Very interesting phrase, “it has been a

  • very long time and I have not seen you”, very good way to initiate a conversation.

  • The next phrase in the list of starting a conversation is, “is this your first time

  • here?” Now this is a question, this is a question that you can put forth with a stranger

  • you can basically ask the stranger and say, “is this your first time here?” You've

  • been looking forward to talking to that person because I think, because you think that you

  • find that person attractive, in that scenario you can use this phrase. “Is this your first

  • time here?” So you're using it for a stranger or an acquaintance that you have not spoken

  • with and you're saying, “I think I've not seen you in this party before, and I've been

  • attending these parties for a long time, have you come here for the first time?” Very

  • good way to start a conversation very polite, nice, non-intrusive way to start a conversation.

  • Next one isdo you come here often?” quite similar to, ‘is this your first time

  • here?’ Well here what you can say is, you have seen that person in the party or in the

  • meeting for a long time and you feel quite attracted towards that person and you want

  • to talk to that person, so in such a scenario you can say, “do you come here often?”

  • Quite similar. “Do you come here often?” The person will say yes or no and the conversation

  • will take on from there itself, very nice way to initiate a conversation. The next phrases,

  • hello! I wanted to introduce myself…” Can I tell you one thing, this is I think

  • one of my favourite phrases and I've used this phrase a lot of times in my life, whenever

  • I have to talk to somebody, don't start an awkwardness and be like you're hoping that

  • you will run into that person and then you will start speaking to that person, nah-nah-nah,

  • good conversationalist and good people with good communication skills, never do that.

  • So make sure that you are a confident person and that you are somebody who starts things

  • and not wait for the things to happen to you. So you say, “Hello! I wanted to introduce

  • myself, could I do that?” and the person feels quite relaxed as well, it is a nice

  • way to start. The last phrase that we have here is, “Hi, do you have a minute?” Very

  • interesting phrase again, these two are quite favourite here. “Hi, do you have a minute?”

  • So you're asking person, “hi, can I take one moment from you because I wanted to let's

  • say introduce myself.” Or ask a question or appreciate or compliment youThis is

  • a very, very nice way to start a conversation. So here are the top five phrases that I have

  • brought to you in this lesson that you can use to start a conversation. Make sure you

  • tell me in the comment section below which one is your favourite and which one you're

  • going to use very, very soon. Let us now look at the second part of the lesson, in the second

  • part we will understand, ‘how to end our conversation’. Ending is very important

  • as well my friends, agreed disagreed? Absolutely it's very important. A lot of times when you're

  • like, when you're talking to somebody, you're rushing for a meeting or let's say, you have

  • to go home very, very soon and you're talking to a colleague but you can't say that you

  • have to rush because let's say it's a boss or an important friend, in such a situation

  • I bring to you these phrases that you can use to end a conversation. The first phrase

  • is, “I don't want to keep you any longer…” That means I do not wish toit's a very

  • polite way of speaking English first of all. So in this way you're not offending the person

  • and you're not also making the conversation uncomfortable and you're saying I would not

  • want to keep the both of us in the conversation anymore because let's say, the person automatically

  • gets the sign that you're rushing to a place or you have something important to do. In

  • such a situation you can use this sentence. So “I don't want to keep you any longer

  • and I think let's meet soon, let's meet tomorrow.” Very nice way to start the ending of the discussion.

  • Next one is, “I’ll let you carry on then”. In this, let's say you ran into somebody,

  • for example let's say a coffee shop and you started a conversation now it's time to end

  • and you want to move because you have a friend waiting on the other table and so you say

  • the person, you tell the person so, “I will let you carry on then I think it's time for

  • me to move.” Very, very nice phrase to talk about the ending of a conversation. Try using

  • this because it is very, very good, “I’ll let you carry on then”. The next phrase

  • that we have is, “thanks again for the lovely eveningor great time. Now, ‘thanks again

  • why are you thanking the person again? Because you have thanked the person a lot of times

  • already and this time it's time that you suggest, you starting with a ‘thanksand this

  • time you're suggesting that hey dude hey babe it's time for me it's time for me to move

  • and so thanks for the lovely time and great evening. It is quite predominantly used, people

  • use it a lot of times but we cannot negate, we cannot cancel the fact that it is still

  • a very valid and very important phrase that you can use to end your conversation with

  • the person. And finally the next one here is, “I've got to get going…” It's quite

  • a polite and quite, an exact way of saying, quite a straightforward way of saying that,

  • it's time for me to move on because I have some other commitments’. So you say, “I've

  • got to get going.” One more time, “I have got to get going”. When you say ‘I have

  • make sure that you contract it as well and it becomes ‘I've’. “I've got to get

  • going”, not ‘I have got to get going’… it is, “I've got to get goingand finally

  • the last phrase that we have is, “i shall now roll out or head out”. Now these are

  • very important phrasal verbs that you can use to say tata, bye-bye now you don't say,

  • ‘I need to go nowwhen people say ‘I need to go nowit's quite, mmmit's

  • quite, it's not at all polite first of all and in such a scenario you can say, “I need

  • to roll out, I’m sorryor “I need to head out”. Shall is a very polite way to

  • start a sentence, when you use shall it looks formal and it feels polite and so you're saying

  • “I shall now roll outor “I shall now head out.” This was all about starting a

  • conversation and ending a conversation. Thanks for being with me in this lesson, if you like

  • all of these phrases, do use them and make sure that you speak confident English, natural

  • English and charming Englishthank you very much and have a great day ahead.

A very important question for each one of you, “are you one of those who feel hesitant
