How Native English Speakers Greet Each Other | English Podcast | My First English Teacher

Learn how native English speakers greet each other and continue the conversation naturally. In this English podcast, Sara and Mr. Arthur practise greetings, small talk, follow-up questions, and polite ways to end a conversation. After meeting again for the first time in years, Sara and her first English teacher explore what native speakers really say when they meet someone new. You will hear natural conversations at a birthday dinner, in an apartment building, before a class, and at a social event. In this episode, you will learn how to: • greet and introduce yourself naturally • answer without giving responses that are too short • add a useful detail that keeps the conversation moving • ask natural follow-up questions • react before asking another question • understand fast questions like “What do you do?” • make small talk without sounding like an interview • end a conversation politely and confidently You will also practise speaking through guided role-plays and complete a final 45–90 second speaking challenge. Listen once to understand the conversations, then listen again and answer the questions aloud. You do not need perfect English—you only need a simple sentence that opens the conversation. ▶ My First English Teacher playlist:    • My First English Teacher | Real-Life Engli...   Timecodes: 00:00 Welcome to My First English Teacher 03:06 Why “Hello” Is Not the Real Problem 07:15 Meeting a New Neighbour 09:45 Phrases That Keep a Conversation Going 14:10 The Difficult Stranger 19:02 Understanding Fast Native English Questions 22:47 Your Turn: English Conversation Role-Play 28:29 Final Speaking Challenge and Review Subscribe to English Tempo for natural English conversations, English listening practice, and speaking lessons every week.
