Series: 101 Conversations

Improve your spoken English from home with 101 real-world conversations in simple, everyday English.

Real English people don't speak like your textbook... so it's no wonder you feel unprepared when it's your turn to speak! This book fixes that. For the first time, you'll learn to speak English in the REAL world, with 101 authentic conversations in simple, spoken English, so you can become confident in the words, phrases and expressions you need to communicate like a local.

101 Conversations in Simple English will transport you into the streets of London, where you'll follow the exciting story of two friends who stumble upon valuable paintings in an antique market. But this isn't just any story - it's a gripping drama told through 101 authentic conversations between real English-speaking people. With over 15,000 words of dialogue, you'll have an exciting resource that will immerse you in English, at a level you can understand, so you can learn real spoken English without getting lost or overwhelmed.

Here's what you'll get:

1. 101 conversations in simple English, so you can learn the real English spoken in the street, understand spoken English with ease, and have English roll off your tongue more fluently;

2. Real, daily spoken English throughout - it's as if we held up a microphone and recorded the exact words coming out of people's mouths - so you can learn the expressions that real people use on the street (not in textbooks). You'll sound more authentic when you speak and make English-speaking friends more easily;

3. Situational dialogues from typical daily circumstances, so you'll prepare yourself to survive realistic English encounters, in shops and cafes, and make meeting people and making arrangements second nature;

4. Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for beginners (A2-B1 on the CEFR), so you can start to learn from real, spoken conversations, even as a beginner, without having to go through the rollercoaster of difficult conversations with strangers;

5. Each conversation is limited to around 15 lines of dialogue (150 words), so you can get that crucial sense of achievement and motivation when you finish each conversation, and say I actually understood all of that!

6. Summaries of each conversation which contextualise each dialogue, so you can easily follow the plot and enjoy the story without getting lost;

The story is set in London and includes expressions that are typical in British English. However, the story is written primarily in neutral English. This way, you'll have plenty to learn, whether you're learning the English spoken in England, North America, Australia or any other English-speaking community.

Created by Olly Richards, internationally-renowned language teacher and author, 101 Conversations in Simple English gives you an education in real English that you won't find anywhere else. You'll be better prepared for using English in the real world, speak with more confidence, and take a giant leap towards fluency in English!
