But that\u2019s not all. I mean, think about it. Our days are full of dialogues. We have conversations with each other. That&#8217;s is what we do. No matter how serious or silly they may be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re living in an English speaking country, a great <em>cheap trick<\/em> for learning is to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?sxsrf=ACYBGNTNdg8XHeKlgMu0VqDEnfrGQXMNrA%3A1571681276121&amp;ei=_POtXbv9BrTC5OUPzpu78AI&amp;q=eavesdrop&amp;oq=eavesdrop&amp;gs_l=psy-ab.3..35i39j0i203l7j0i20i263j0.2180.2657..3272...0.2..0.87.311.4......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71.XNbiITAbA4g&amp;ved=0ahUKEwi766aB-a3lAhU0IbkGHc7NDi4Q4dUDCAs&amp;uact=5\"><b>eavesdrop<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: this is when you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/dictionary\/english\/listen-in-on-something\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">listen in on <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what others are saying, usually without them knowing. So, when you\u2019re on the bus or walking around your town or city, listen intently to what people are saying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you want to take this a step further, you can write what the people around you are saying. Add to these dialogues. Let the natural conversations around you inspire your learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, let\u2019s get going with today\u2019s dialogue. Today we have a conversation between two brothers:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mark:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hey, bro.

I don\u2019t really have too much to say here, but you could compare it to something like: What do you think about..?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Actually, \u2026<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (en realidad, de hecho\u2026 )<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a little grammar point. When starting a sentence with an adverb it must always be followed by a comma.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>To throw a party<\/strong> (dar una fiesta)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is just a fun fixed expression. If you didn\u2019t know, people \u201cthrow\u201d parties. People also \u201chave\u201d parties, so it\u2019s common to hear something like: I\u2019m having a party.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lost in the post<\/strong> (extraviado en el correo)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, James is making a joke, a bad joke, but a joke nonetheless. He doesn\u2019t actually think the invitation got \u201clost in the post\u201d but this is something people of saying jokingly to cover their own backs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>-ing form of a verb: I\u2019m thinking about making<\/strong> (estoy pensando <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hacer tal cosa<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> )<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve probably seen present tense form of the verbs used a lot. It\u2019s very common.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, this example is very literal, because when you say \u201cI\u2019m thinking about\u201d you are doing that in the moment: the present.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is also used to express what you\u2019re \u201cgoing to do,\u201d that is, what your about to do in the future.<\/span><\/span>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, I could say:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I will go down to the supermarket.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this sounds a little stiff. So, instead I would use:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I\u2019m going down to the supermarket.\u00a0<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other examples could be:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m quitting my job.\u00a0 <\/strong>(Estoy por renunciar)<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m leaving my wife.\u00a0 <\/strong>(Me estoy separando)<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m getting sick.<\/strong> (Me estoy por enfermar)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>A\u2026 of .. .<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When talking about any unit or amount of something we always add \u201c<strong>of<\/strong>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m only mentioning this because I know that in some other languages, this \u201cof\u201d omitted (left out).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>A glass of water. <\/strong>(un vaso de agua)<\/p>\n<p><strong>A kilo of potatoes.<\/strong> (un kilo de papas)<\/p>\n<p><strong>A bag of onions.\u00a0 <\/strong>(una bolsa de cebollas)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I hope you learned something, enjoyed the dialogue, and if nothing else, got in the mood for some birthday cake.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>See you next time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P.S: If you are not travelling around or living abroad, you can listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=english+conversation+practice&amp;sxsrf=ACYBGNRBdZsUfZtbCrPWRWe16hWYS2euQA:1571850422231&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=vid&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwj31bSQ77LlAhXbK7kGHXVvBREQ_AUIEygC&amp;biw=1536&amp;bih=722\">English Conversations on Youtube<\/a>, or find some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?biw=1536&amp;bih=722&amp;tbm=vid&amp;sxsrf=ACYBGNSGWAbkSk_rC1FMKobrmPInxVq6pA%3A1571850478991&amp;ei=7oiwXf-UPMLB5OUP5NqC4A4&amp;q=english+podcast+conversation+for+beginners&amp;oq=english+podcast+conversaton&amp;gs_l=psy-ab.3.3.0i13k1l6j0i13i5i30k1l2j0i8i13i30k1l2.1750.3206.0.6465.12.8.0.0.0.0.490.1099.2-1j1j1.3.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..9.3.1099...0j0i203k1j0i5i30k1j0i8i30k1.0.2HcG4NMPChg\">Podcasts<\/a> (there are some son Soundcloud and Spotify too) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/english\/learn-english-radio\/\">radios<\/a> that you like and can easily follow.<\/p>\n<p>Give it a try!<\/p><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_2065\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2215-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/en-ingles.com.ar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Dialogue-2-Birthday-1.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/en-ingles.com.ar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Dialogue-2-Birthday-1.mp3\">https:\/\/en-ingles.com.ar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Dialogue-2-Birthday-1.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/en-ingles.com.ar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Dialogue-2-Birthday-1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/en-ingles.com.ar\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=2215-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en-ingles.com.ar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Dialogue-2-Birthday-1.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Dialogue-2-Birthday-1.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to this second installment of English Dialogues.
