Two friends are talking in the classroom

You may know the right English phrases to book a room for the night, to make a business deal, to use transportation.

But other conversations can be more… personal.

Conversations between friends are something your textbook or English class may not have prepared you for.

The truth is, casual conversations in a language you’re still learning can be even more difficult than formal conversations.

After all, in formal situations you know you need to be polite. You can find out what phrases to use, and memorize them.

In casual conversations, it isn’t as important to use particular phrases.

For example, you don’t have to say, “Hello, how are you?” every time you meet a friend.

But there are still certain phrases for informal conversation that are useful to know.

Conversations also tend to follow certain patterns, even when the people having them know each other well.

Below are some examples of how to make small talk, make plans and have personal conversations, shown through example dialogues between two friends in English.
