What do you talk about when chatting with foreigners?

Since I want to learn English, I often need to communicate in English with real foreigners on Banyu APP, which naturally involves the question of what to talk about.

Actually, Banyu APP only gives me an opportunity to have free talks with foreign teachers. It shouldn’t be of much help with pronunciation or anything like that, which I have to learn on my own. When chatting, the most important thing is to treat them as if they are chatting with friends.

Don’t think that foreigners are different from us. Aren’t they all human beings? We all have noses and eyes. There are just slight differences in the way we think. One question I often ask them is, have you ever been to China? Many foreigners on Banyu have been to China.

So the next step is to ask him what his impressions were before coming to China. He may have a lot of impressions about China, and then ask him what he felt after coming to China. . Such topics are not abrupt at all. In many cases, they will talk to you in a friendly manner. Such topics do not involve politics or personal privacy, so they are a good choice.

Don’t ask if you like China. This question is simply ridiculous. If an American asks you: Do you like the United States? The moment you hear this question, you don’t want to talk at all. Are you sick? Of course I love China first and my own motherland. I like the United States, and the United States also includes many. I can be so fraternal. If you like a country, of course you can’t.

The same principle applies to them. When we ask questions, we must put ourselves in their shoes and refuse some super brainless questions. People will think that you are a complete retard and you are the end of the topic. , so as mentioned before, treat them as a friend instead of treating them differently.

When chatting, talk about their local culture and some well-known things, and ask if it is like this. This will satisfy your curiosity and give people an opportunity to spend time. Show off your hometown.

Once, I was chatting with a guy from Brisbane. He didn’t speak any English. The only thing I knew about Brisbane was tennis. I asked him about various things about the Australian Open, and then talked about Rod Laver and other tennis celebrities. He gave me popular science stories about local tennis that he knew. He told me about his experience of traveling around the world. When I asked him about his job, he said that his job was to travel around the world. After making some money, he would then travel around the world. Suddenly I felt that his life was really unrestrained. .

So, when chatting with them, there are still many topics to choose from, but it is best to think through your mind and put yourself in their shoes before asking.
