Want to join a conversation, but have a hard time getting your turn to speak? In this video, I’ll show you two easy ways to join a conversation. I’ll show you one dramatic way to steal a conversation, and another way which is more polite. You’ll need to use different methods in different situations, so I’ll tell you when each method is preferred. Conversations should be about the exchange of ideas, but sometimes it’s hard to contribute your opinion. Check this lesson out so you’re not stuck holding your tongue when you can add to a conversation!
I got 10 :D your lessons are awesome !!! :D thanks for your help !
moldret
just 10 ???
Buuson86
I do not like much the idea of stealing a conversation. Sometimes we have no other choice, but to do it.
Useful conversation skills to keep a conversation going, but above all to put a stop to those who love holding the floor for hours.
Regards to all EngVid viewers.

Need to ask about the difference between wish/hope?
Shaimaa Nabil
In a nutshell, hope mainly expresses a desire that is possible or likely to happen. Wish usually expresses a desire that is impossible or unlikely to happen.
It’s meaning mainly revolves around the possibility if something’s likely to happen or is impossible
