How to improve our conversational English?

How to improve our conversational English?
"If you speak someone in a language they understand, you will gain their attention. If you speak his native language, however, you will win his heart." Nelson Mandela
If you have had to communicate with someone in English at least once, you have realized how important your conversational English is. Simply because reading and understanding texts in English is not quite the same as direct communication with an English speaker. On the one hand, the barriers of perfect English can be raised with rich vocabulary and expressions that a person fluent in English at the middle level would have difficulty overcoming, on the other hand, the auditory perception of a foreign language is quite different from that on a written basis.

Time to improve your conversational English?

How many times have you said to yourself in your head, "It's time for me to do something to speak better English!". Such a statement sounds more than logical, given the open borders and increasingly frequent opportunities to travel abroad. Adding to the fact that more than 2 billion people in the world speak English, perfecting exactly in this language seems more than meaningful. There are various methods of learning a foreign language, some of them give preference to written language, others to communication. If you need to improve your conversational English in order to achieve better results at work or in communicating with foreigners, CLOCKWISE is extremely suitable for you!

Why does the Clockwise learning system emphasize conversational English?

With Clockwise, you can quickly progress with conversational English lessons, as the emphasis is on perfecting listening and speaking in English. Particular attention is paid to correct pronunciation and intonation. At the same time, grammatical rules are presented gradually and embedded naturally in the context of each lesson. The numerous dynamic and short texts of different themes prepare learners of English to understand without problems what they are told. Thus, their English gradually moves from a written language level to a higher level of colloquial English. Exercises and tests are provided that further reinforce the learned material. The students are constantly stimulated to put their personal opinion in English, using the vocabulary they know seamlessly. There are additional training materials available that can also be used online.

If your knowledge of English is rather modest or you need to start from scratch, but your ultimate goal is relatively good level colloquial English, keep in mind that the Clockwise learning system includes the five basic levels from Elementary to Advanced.

More successful work with better conversational English

While good English used to be rather one of the mandatory requirements for the appointment of a new job without then actually coming into use, now good written and spoken English is a mandatory condition for you to do your job well. Either because the owners of the company are already foreigners or in the meantime have appointed a specialist from abroad and the only way to communicate with him is using your colloquial English. It is possible that the circle of clients of the company in which you work has increased and already besides Bulgarian clients you have to communicate with those from abroad.

The truth is that some people with only a small stock of words manage to cope somehow, while others who "all life" learn English lose their mind and word if they have to say something in the foreign language. It is these fears or rather uncertainty when using conversational English that you will be able to overcome with the Clockwise learning system, which is specifically designed for working people. The course is practice-oriented and unites the standard level of English and the level with a professional orientation. In addition to the group activities provided, each student can independently improve their level of conversational English by exercising further at home with specially provided materials.

Since each profession provides for a different vocabulary, students learn topics tailored to their personal needs and interests.

The biggest challenge for all who use English is talking on the phone. Even more confident in their conversational English skills, they can face serious difficulties if they have to communicate over the phone. This is quite normal, given that phone connections are not always perfect, and even more so the lack of face-to-face communication deprives them of important nonverbal information. The specially developed "Focus on Functions" section of the Clockwise system helps to improve communication skills and provides an opportunity for discussion and improvement of communication and telephone conversation skills.
