Let’s talk about talking.
After alL, that’s why you’re here, right?
To become a better English speaker?
So here’s your first tip to being a better English speaker.
This speaking tip is ten times more important than using the correct verb tense and a hundred times more important than speaking with perfect pronunciation.
I’m talking about…
SHOW INTEREST IN THE OTHER PERSON
I first learned this tip from reading Dale Carnegies famous book, How to Win Friends and Influence People.
Here’s Mr. Carnegie in his own words:
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
Don’t you love talking with someone who is interested in you?
I’ll start.
But first, I need to know you better.
Some of you I’ve met on Zoom or in person.
But others of you are new to my world.
If you are new here, or if we’ve never spoken, will you take a minute to tell me more about you?
I created an easy survey with seven questions.
Here’s the link:

It’ll only take a minute or two of your time.
It will help me make Atomic Homework lessons that fit you like a glove.
And tomorrow, we’ll talk about YOU!
Thanks,
Mr. Vig
