054 - How To Have Better Conversations In English
In this episode, Dan shares practical tips for improving your English conversations. Here are the main talking points:
- Open Vs Closed: Choosing the best kind of questions is important for having better conversations that build deeper connections
- Listen and Respond: This is not an interrogation. It is a conversation and you need to learn how to follow up on what has been said.
- Link information to new topics: Don't just randomly change the topic when things start to slow down. Learn how to do this the right way.
