Knowing English is very good. But it’s not enough to know individual words in order to compose phrases with them; you need to connect your speech in such a way that it can turn into a high-quality dialogue. Agree, every day we compose dialogues, whether we want it or not. In the store, at work, in transport, on the street... Communication is needed everywhere. And it will be strange if people communicate chaotically, that is, answer questions with words that they know, and not those that are appropriate in a given situation. If you are a beginner and just starting to learn the English language, then we bring to your attention dialogues in English for beginners that will help you easily communicate with people even if you have a minimal vocabulary.

Note! We don't want you to learn dialogue automatically. A student studying the material must understand what he is learning. Therefore, we have provided a translation for each dialogue so that your educational process was easy.

Popular dialogues in English for beginners

Dialogues in English can be different. The higher your level of English, the more colorful and meaningful the dialogue. But, if you are just starting out, we recommend learning the basic basics of communication, which will later serve as the foundation for building a more extensive conversation. So, let's start with those that you can easily learn with a small vocabulary. But how can you learn dialogue in English without it slipping out of your head the next day? First you need to pay attention to the most common topics. The most popular: about the weather, in a store (grocery, with clothes), in a cafe/restaurant, about plans for a vacation or weekend, etc. Let's start with these. When you can speak fluently on the above topics, you can begin to conquer new heights.

Where do we start? From dating! It would be ridiculous if you see a person for the first time and don’t know where to start a conversation with him. Therefore, we offer a simple dialogue so that a person’s first impression of you is positive =>

• Hello! How are you?
• Hi! I am fine, thanks! And how are you?
• Fine! I am Yulia. What is your name?
• I am Lily, nice to meet you.
• Nice to meet you too.
• Are you from Barcelona?
• No, I am from London. And you?
• I am from Russia. Nice to meet you in Spain!

• Hello! How are you?
• Hello! OK, thank you! How are you?
• Great! I'm Julia. What's your name?
• My name is Lily, nice to meet you.
• It's nice to meet you too.
• Are you from Barcelona?
• No, I'm from London. And you?
• I'm from Russia. Nice to meet you in Spain!

The first step has been taken - you have met the person. What's next? If you don’t know your interlocutor at all, how to continue the conversation? The ideal way out of the situation is talk about the weather. This topic is always relevant and has never let anyone down. Let's consider a dialogue that will help you in further communication =>

• Hello Maria! You look great today!
• Hi Jane! Thank you! It’s very warm today, isn’t it? So I have decided to put on my new dress.
• Yes, the weather is lovely, as well as your new dress. But have you heard about the rain this afternoon?
• Yes, I've heard about that. But that's okay. I have an umbrella.
• Oh, you are lucky, but I have no umbrella. I need to go back home to take it.
• Yes, be quick. Look, the sky is already full of clouds.
• I run. Bye, see you later.

• Hello Maria! You look very good today!
• Hello Jane! Thank you! It's warm today, isn't it? So I decided to wear my new dress.
• Yes, the weather is great, and so is your new dress. But did you hear about the rain this afternoon?
• Yes, I've heard about it. But everything is fine. I have an umbrella.
• Oh, you're lucky, and I don't have an umbrella. I need to go home and get it.
• Yes, come on faster. Look, the sky is already overcast.
• I'm running. Bye, see you later.
• Bye!

Next, we suggest learning English dialogue, dedicated to cafes and restaurants. At lunch we hold business meetings (and English ones too), communicate with friends and colleagues, many drink morning coffee in public places, and in general, we spend a lot of time in cafes and restaurants. On weekends, on vacation, after work, before an important meeting... We go for lunch with friends and colleagues, for dinner with family and business partners. Knowing what to say is extremely important in order to create the impression of an educated, cultured and literate person.

Consider a dialogue in a restaurant:

• A: Are you ready to order?
• Q: Yes, I’ll have the fillet steak.
• A: How would you like your steak?
• Q: Rare, please. And I’d like a glass of red wine, and some mineral water.
• A: Still or sparkling?
• In: Sparkling.
• A: Fine.

Pay attention! In everyday conversations there may be aphorisms, for example, I am hungry as a hunter, which means I'm hungry like a wolf. Color your dialogue with colorful phrases using these expressions!

And one more thing: you can use quotes in conversation famous people or with a bit of irony. But... if you are not sure, we recommend abandoning this idea. When you say an aphorism or quote, you must be 100% sure of the accuracy of the meaning.

• Are you ready to order?
• Yes, I'd like a steak.
• What kind of roast?
• With blood, please. As well as a glass of red wine and mineral water.
• With or without gas?
• With gas.
• Fine.

To remember simple dialogues, we recommend saying them mentally every time, for example, when you go to a cafe or restaurant. When you order something, say it in English. This will be great practice. If you don’t know a word, write it down in a notebook and be sure to look at the translation at home. Order different dishes each time to learn more! And every time expand your vocabulary.

Here are a couple more dialogues related to everyday life:

We're going to the cinema.

• A: So... what’s on at the cinema?
• B: There’s a film on called “Mission Impossible”.
• A: What kind of movie is it?
• B: It’s an action film. It’s about an agent of the IMf and his mission to uncover a plot. It has good reviews.
• A: OK. Who's in it?
• B: It stars Tom Cruise.
• A: I like Tom Cruise – he’s a good actor. And where's it on?
• B: The Karo cinema.
• A: OK. Let's go and see it.
• B: Great!

• What are they showing in the cinema now?
• The movie Mission: Impossible is showing now.
• What genre is this?
• This is an action movie. The film is about an agent of a secret organization and his mission to uncover a conspiracy. It has good reviews.
• Okay, who's playing?
• Starring Tom Cruise.
• I love Tom Cruise, he is a good actor. Where is the film shown?
• At the Karo cinema.
• Fine. Let's watch it.
• Great!

Now let's talk about shops. Everyone needs clothes. And you will communicate not only with the seller, but also with your friends, whom you will take as faithful advisers. But! It is extremely important to know the basic phrases that will help you clearly explain to the seller what exactly you need and what color. If you have not yet studied the color scheme, we recommend studying several basic colors. We’ll leave the subtleties of studying the numerous shades for later.

Consider a dialogue where a buyer communicates with a seller =>

• Good afternoon! Can I help you?
• Yes, I need your help. I need short dress, jeans and several blouses. Will you please be so kind to help me to match the colors. I want create several images from things I will buy.
• I will be glad to help you. My first advice is to choose little black, red or white dress.
• The reason is – I don’t like dark and too bright colors.
• Then your choice – the dress of beige color.
• Perfect! And what about jeans?
• I will strongly recommend you to choose the light blue one. They are very popular now.
• Okay, show me some examples.
• And please be so kind to look at these blouses of pastel colors. They are very tender, feminine and stylish.
• Great! I need three blouses.
• I will make you a discount for you to buy more.
• Thank you! You helped me very much!

• Good afternoon Can I help you?
• Yes, I need your help. I need a short dress, jeans and several blouses. Could you be so kind as to help me choose the colors. I want to create several looks from the items I buy.
• I'll be happy to help you. My first tip is to choose a little black, red or white dress.
• The reason is that I don't like dark or too bright colors.
• In this case, your choice is a beige dress.
• Great! What about jeans?
• I highly recommend that you choose light blue jeans. They are very popular now.
• Okay, show me a few copies.
• And please pay attention to these pastel colored blouses. They are very gentle, feminine and stylish.
• Great! I need three blouses.
• I will give you a discount so you can buy more.
• Thank you! You helped me a lot!

We buy drinks:

• B: Can I help you?
• A: Can I have tea and two colas, please?
• B: Anything else?
• A: No, thanks. How much is that?
• B: That’s 3$. A: Here you are.

• Can I help?
• Can I have some tea and two cokes, please?
• Anything else?
• No, thanks. How much does it cost?
• Only $3.
• Please / Hold.

Dialogue in the cafe:

• A: Yes, please? or What would you like?
• B: I’d like a ham sandwich on brown bread, please, and two chicken sandwiches on white bread.
• A: Eat here or take away?
• B: Take away, please.
• A: OK. Anything else?
• B: No, thanks.
• A: OK. The food will be in a couple of minutes. Have a seat.

• Order/What's for you?
• I'd like a ham sandwich on black bread and two chicken sandwiches on white bread, please.
• Here or with you.
• Take it with you, please.
• Fine. Anything else?
• No, thanks.
• The food will be ready in a few minutes. Have a seat.

Repeat dialogues as often as possible. At the same time, change the words in phrases to increase the number of words learned. For example, instead of dress, put skirt, etc. Change colors, styles, images... You can make several from one dialogue! Turn on your imagination and go ahead!

1. Imagine real situations

You can think of anything and wait for it to come true. You need to practice every day! Imagine that you went into a clothing store. What do you tell the seller? What color skirt do you need? What kind of jeans do you want? Come up with a real look from the things you wear every day. If nothing works, start small. First, learn individual words (wardrobe items), then compose phrases with them, then sentences. Remember that dialogue is two-way communication. You need to be prepared to be asked questions, and you need to know the answers to them. By imagining a real-life situation, you can easily learn the vocabulary you need.

1. Start by writing short dialogues

There is no need to think that little means ineffective. For beginners, it’s just the opposite. Once you learn small questions and answers, you can expand them over time by adding adjectives, nouns, and verbs. The main thing is to learn, figuratively speaking, the skeleton of the structure. It is worth remembering that in short sentences it is easier to combine tenses. If the sentences are long, then you may form the thought incorrectly grammatically. Start small! Once you achieve your first successes, your knowledge base will develop very quickly.

1. Practice every day!

The last, but not the least -> The last, but not the least, as the British say. This is very wise advice. It will tell you how to quickly learn English dialogue so that you get results. The fact is that by studying every day, we develop a routine within ourselves, our will grows, we become more organized. One or two days of rest - and you have to start over. Work on your English every day! It doesn’t cost you anything to repeat a couple of phrases to yourself as you pass by the store. Or imagine yourself in an English restaurant, sitting at the table at home. It's simple. The main thing is to overcome laziness. It is she who is responsible for our failures. Pull yourself together and English will conquer you!

Let's sum it up

How to learn dialogue in English? Easy and simple! Practice daily, create real situations, select synonyms for words, and try to enlist the support of your loved ones. Let them speak English with you at home (if they know it, of course). And listen to audio and video recordings! This is needed for correct pronunciation. And if it doesn’t work for you, then transcription will come to the rescue. Learning English is easier than you think!

Greetings my dears.

Let's start today with a question for you. Where can you start developing your child’s spoken language?

But it's true! After all, at the beginning of his journey, your baby’s vocabulary for free conversation is at its lowest level - not to say that it does not exist at all. And it’s not always possible to talk “not freely” either. So what's the solution? And the solution is this: dialogues for children in English.

Surprisingly, this technique found a response in the hearts of both children and their parents. The secret here is simple: you can read or listen to simple dialogues - at first I would even recommend mini-dialogues - analyze individual words and phrases in them and tell them. Read them with translation, listen to them in audio and learn.

Today I'll give you a few various options, on various topics and varying complexity.

Speech practice for preschool age is distinguished by its simplicity and theme. It is easiest for such young children to remember what surrounds them: colors, animals, family, etc. Let's start, perhaps, with the “Greeting” and “Introduction” dialogues. For example:

-Hi.(Hello/Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening)
-Hi.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And yours?
-My name is Diana.

-Hello . (Hello / Good morning/ Good afternoon / Good evening)
-Hello.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. What about you?
-My name is Diana.

This is the easiest option to start with. You can develop the conversation further, for example, like this:

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years old.

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. How old are you?
-I am six years old.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes, I do. Do you speak English?
- Yes, I do.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes. A do you speak english?
- Yes.

You can also use this addition:

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I am from London.

-Where are you from?
-I'm from Moscow. And you?
-I'm from London.

This is the most basic thing you can do with your baby today.

But here are the options, for example, for 2nd grade on the topic of family:

-How many family members do you have?
-I have 4 family members. A mother, a father, me and my older sister. And you?
-I have a father, a mother. I do not have any sisters or brothers.
-This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister is Olya. She goes to school already.
-My mother’s name is Alina, my father’s name is Nikita.

-How many of you are in the family?
-We are a party of four . Mom, dad, me and my older sister. How many of you are there?
-I have a mom and dad. I have neither sisters nor brothers.
-This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister Olya. She already goes to school.
My mom's name is Alina, my dad's name is Nikita.

For 3rd grade students, you can combine dialogue and play " I can see something blue..." For example:

-I can see something red...
-It’s an apple. It's a towel. It's a shoe.
-I can see something green...
-It's a flower. It's a coat.
-I can see something yellow…
-It's a ball.

-I can see something red...
-This is an apple. This is a towel. This is a shoe.
-I can see something green...
-This is a flower. This is a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
-This is a ball.

Talking about animals will help you quickly learn the necessary vocabulary.

-Do you have a pet?
-Yes, I have a rat. His name is Bonny. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
-My dogs" names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish is called Loopy.

-Do you have a pet?
-I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
My dogs' names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish's name is Loopy.

A good subject option is a hobby. For example:

-Do you like football?
-Yes, I do. My favorite football team is Barcelona. And you?
-I don't. I like basketball and tennis. What about reading?
-I like reading. I read several books per week. And do you like reading?
-I don't. I like watching films. My favorite films are “Harry Potter” and “Star Wars”.

-Do you like football?
-Yes. My favorite football team Barcelona. What about you?
-I don't. I love basketball and tennis. How about reading?
-I like to read. I read several books a week. Do you like to read?
-I don't. I love watching movies. My favorite films are Harry Potter and Star Wars.

In addition to the previous one, you can add the following:

-How did you spend your summer?
-We went to the sea. The town was beautiful and the sea was very warm. And you?
-I was in the village with my grandparents. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

-How did you spend your summer?
-We went to the sea. The city is beautiful and the sea is very warm. And you?
-I was in the village with grandparents. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

For 5th grade students who already have a good vocabulary base, you can combine all these dialogues and cover all these topics one by one: greetings, dating, family, animals, hobbies, etc.

What I want to say finally, my dears, is that with the help of such mini-conversations, your kids can quickly learn new words and also get rid of the fear of talking. I can give you some advice:

• don't try right away cover something large and complex- take small steps towards your big goal.
• make sure your child is familiar with all the words when you say something. Words learned by heart, the meaning of which remains unknown, will bring absolutely no benefit.
• combine the use of this method with some kind of game so that the baby naturally memorized vocabulary.

I recommend that all children and their parents take this course from Lingualeo « For the little ones» . This online course- in a playful and very pleasant way - will captivate your child and make him ask you “And I also want to play English”. My daughter still likes it)), although we purchased it quite a while ago.

That's all, my dears. I hope that these materials will help you in learning the language. Moreover, you can get even more materials by subscribing to my blog newsletter. Improve your English with my help every day.

How to create a dialogue yourself?

When learning English, you will always have to memorize new words and expressions. Composing dialogues significantly helps to cope with this task. Even at a basic level of language learning, you can easily compose dialogues yourself. It is important to remember that the dialogue should be easy and without unnecessary complicated words.

You can take daily situations that you encounter yourself as the basis for dialogues: this makes it easier to compose dialogues and remember them.

The volume of dialogues should not be too large, but should include new words and expressions. It's easiest to make up dialogues with someone in a group, it makes the process more interesting. It is imperative to follow correct grammar so as not to remember words incorrectly and avoid making mistakes in the future. You can ask a teacher or someone who speaks the language to check your dialogue.

To compose a dialogue in English yourself, you should first of all imagine its structure, draw some analogy with your everyday dialogue in your native language.

1) Any dialogue begins with a greeting. What it will be depends on who you talk to. If this is an official or official (your boss, teacher, city mayor, just a stranger), then it is better to use a construction similar to the Russian “Good afternoon/evening” or the neutral “Hello” - “Hello” . If you are talking with a friend or another person close to you, you can use free and emotionally charged greetings, such as: “Hi!”, “How do you do?”, “Hey, What’s up?”.
(Note: in informal dialogues, the greeting phrase often includes questions such as: “what's new, how are you?” It will sound something like this: - Hi, what's going on? – Not much (or Thanks, I'm ok ).

2) The response is constructed in a similar way. We respond to a strict greeting with the polite and dry phrase “Hello, pleased to meet you.” (Hello, nice to see you)
(Note: if you already know the person, then add a title:
Mister + name (to a man) Missis (to a married woman)
Miss – (to a young girl)) We respond to a friendly greeting in an unobtrusive manner so that the dialogue looks as natural and relaxed as possible.

3) Now let’s decide on the purpose of our conversation. Let's look at examples:

A) Invitation
— for friends: — How about the cinema? (How about a movie?) - What are your plans on Monday? Do you want to go to the cinema? (What are your plans for Monday? Do you want to go to the movies?) Pretty universal questions. The answer is also simple. –Sounds nice, let's go. (Sounds tempting, let's go) or Sorry, I'm busy on Monday. We will do it next time. (Sorry, I'm busy on Monday. We'll do it another time)
(Note: before questions or requests, you can add an introductory sentence, for example: I know, you like watching films. I'm sure there is something interesting being shown in the cinema - I know, you like watching films. I'm sure there is something really interesting that is being shown in the cinema now)
- official
Would you like to + verb (Would you like to + verb)?
Would you mind... (Do you mind)?

B) Request
(Note: We actively use the word “please” and “excuse me” (excuse me, i’m sorry), regardless of the type of dialogue, this is a sign of your good upbringing).
-friendly: Can you bring this book for me, please? (Can you get this book for me?)
-official: Could you help me, please? (Could you help?)
Would you mind (verb +ing) opening the window? (Could you open the window?)
Could I bother you to find me a book? (Sorry to bother you, could I ask you to find me a book?)

B) Request for information
-with friends:
Tell me about... (tell me)
What do you thing about…? (what do you think about...)
-with officials
Could you tell me (could you tell)
What is your opinion on the problem of…? (What is your opinion on the problem?)

Question words for writing sentences in order to find out information about an object of interest: Where (where?) When (when?) How (how?) How long (how long) How many (how much (for a countable)) How much (how much for an uncountable, for example, money, time) Which (which of) Which (that).

Don't forget to thank your interlocutor for the information received.
Thank you a lot (Thank you very much)
My gratitude (My gratitude)

If necessary, you can express your personal opinion using the following phrases:
Pesonally, I believe (I believe)
From my standpoint (from my point of view)
As for me (as for me)

4) Farewell

• Goodbye (goodbye, universal for both types of dialogue)
• It was great to meet you (it was great to meet you)
• All the best (all the best)

Friendly farewell:

• See you (see you)
• Bye (bye)
• So long (for now)
• Hope to hear from you soon (I hope to hear you soon)

- Can I help you?
— Yes, I need to go to Pushkinskaya Street.
— You have to go straight on Tverskaya Street to the monument to Pushkin.
- Thank you.

- Can I help you?
- Yes, I need to go to Pushkinskaya Street.
— You need to go straight along Tverskaya Street to the Pushkin monument.

Learning a foreign language should take place in a complex way: reading books and newspapers, watching TV series, writing essays and letters. Kato Lomb, a translator, a polyglot who has mastered 16 languages, most of which she mastered on her own, said that a language can be compared to a fortress, which need to storm with different sides. That is, in addition to working with grammar textbooks, it is also important to read the press and fiction, communicate with representatives of other countries, listen to songs and watch foreign films in the original. Dialogue in English or another foreign language - quality learning.

How to learn new words and phrases?

Each language has certain speech cliches and peculiarities of word combinations. Many people make the mistake of memorizing only lists of individual lexical units. In the future, communication problems may arise due to the inability to combine words and form sentences. The process of mastering a language will be much easier if you initially pay more attention to phrases and phrases. New vocabulary is remembered much better if used in conversation. One of effective ways absorb information and learn to speak fluently in a foreign language - compose a dialogue on each topic in English or another language being studied. Connecting the educational process with practical activities will significantly increase the chances of mastering grammar and vocabulary in the shortest possible time.
