@engvidemmaAbout
Hi, my name is Emma, and I'm going to teach you English! Learning a different language can be hard, but it can also be a fun and rewarding experience. I am TESOL-certified and have taught students from various backgrounds, ages, and levels. From immigrants to international students, private lessons to classrooms, my experiences have been varied and have allowed me to gain insight into the challenges that ESL students face. Teaching is one of those great professions that allow you to be forever learning. While I teach students both French and English, they teach me about their cultures, their lives, and other ways to see the world. It is a privilege to teach and I am thankful for all of my students over the years who have shared their stories, interests, and dreams with me.
Video Description
Telling stories during conversations can be difficult for English learners, but it’s an important skill to have and a great way for people to get to know you. In this class, I will teach you how to tell a story during a conversation. I will teach you key expressions we use to start telling a story including: “Did I ever tell you about...”, Let me tell you about...”, “That reminds me of...”, and “You’ll never guess what happened!” I will teach you key words and some grammar (i.e. simple past tense, past continuous tense) that we often use when we tell a story. Finally, learn a great phrase to use if no one laughs at a funny story: “You had to be there.” https://www.engvid.com/easy-english-conversation-how-to-tell-a-story-in-english/ More Easy English Conversation videos: Talk about your life - birth, job, marriage, and more! https://youtu.be/SKd2rEmj41I "Did you know...?" or "Do you know...?" https://youtu.be/p1D3GmN_24A In this lesson: 0:00 Conversation Skills: Telling a Story 0:39 How to start telling a story 1:12 "Did I ever tell you about the time...?" 1:59 "That reminds me..." 2:45 "Let me tell you about..." 3:13 "You'll never guess what happened!" 3:36 "I have a funny story for you." 4:02 Short or long? 5:22 Signal Words: first, then, next, later, finally 7:00 Telling stories in the simple past tense 8:38 Telling stories in the past continuous tense 10:42 How to end a story
