Audio dialogues and phrases in English. Simple and interesting dialogues for preschoolers and elementary school children with voice acting

Hello my dears.

Let's start today with a question for you. How can you start developing your child's conversational language?

But it's true! Indeed, at the beginning of his journey, your baby's vocabulary for free conversation is at its lowest level - if not to say that it does not exist at all. And it’s not always possible to talk “not freely” either. So what's the way out? And the way out is this: dialogues for children in English.

Surprisingly, this technique has found a response in the hearts of many children and their parents. The secret here is simple: you can read or listen to simple dialogues - at first I would even advise mini-dialogues - to disassemble individual words and phrases in them and recite them. Read them with translation, listen to them in audio and learn.

Today I will give you several different options, on various themes and varying complexity.

Speech practice for preschool age distinguished by its simplicity and theme. It is easiest for such small children to remember what surrounds them: colors, animals, family, etc. Let's start with the "Greeting" and "Introduction" dialogs. For example:

-Hi.(Hello/Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening)
-Hi.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And yours?
-My name is Diana.

-Hey . (Hey / Good morning/ Good afternoon good evening )
-Hello.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And you?
- My name is Diana.

This is the easiest option to start with. You can develop the conversation further, for example, like this:

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years old.

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes, I do. Do you speak English?
- Yes, I do.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes. BUT do you speak English?
- Yes.

You can also use this extension:

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I am from London.

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I'm from London.

This is the most elementary thing that you can do with your baby today.

And here are the options, for example, for grade 2 on the topic of family:

-How many family members do you have?
-I have 4 family members. A mother, a father, me and my older sister. And you?
-I have a father, a mother. I do not have any sisters or brothers.
-This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister is Olya. She goes to school already.
-My mother's name is Alina, my father's name is Nikita.

-How many family members do you have?
-We're four . Mom, dad, me and my older sister . And how many of you?
-I have a mom and a dad. I don't have any sisters or brothers.
- This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister Olya. She already goes to school.
My mother's name is Alina, my father's name is Nikita.

For grade 3 students, you can combine dialogue and game " I can see something blue…". For example:

-I can see something red...
-It's an apple. It's a towel. It's a shoe.
-I can see something green...
-It's a flower. It's a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
-It's a ball.

-I can see something red...
-This is an Apple. This is a towel. This is a boot.
-I can see something green...
-This is a flower . This is a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
- It's a ball.

Talking about animals will help you quickly learn the right vocabulary.

-Do you have a pet?
-Yes, I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
-My dogs" names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish is called Loopy.

-Do you have a pet?
-I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
My dogs' names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish's name is Loopy.

A good variant of the theme is a hobby. For example:

-Do you like football?
-Yes, I do. My favorite football team is Barcelona. And you?
-I do not. I like basketball and tennis. What about reading?
-I like reading. I read several books per week. And do you like reading?
-I do not. I like watching films. My favorite films are "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars".

-Do you like football?
-Yes. My darling football team Barcelona. And you?
-I don't. I love basketball and tennis. How about reading?
-I like to read. I read several books a week. Do you like to read?
-Me not. I love watching movies . My favorite movies are Harry Potter and Star Wars.

In addition to the previous one, you can add the following:

-How did you spend your summer?
- We went to the sea. The town was beautiful and the sea ​​was very warm. And you?
-I was in the village with my grandparents. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

-How did you spend your summer?
- We went to the sea. The city is beautiful and the sea is very warm. And you?
-I was in the village grandma and grandpa. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

For grade 5 students who already have a good lexical base, you can connect all these dialogues, and reveal all these topics one by one: greet, acquaintance, family, animals, hobbies, etc.

The last thing I want to say, my dears, is that with the help of such mini-talks, your little ones can quickly learn new words, as well as get rid of the fear of talking. I can give you some advice:

• don't try right away embrace something big and complex Take small steps towards your big goal.
• be sure that your child is familiar with all the words when you say something. Words learned by heart, the meaning of which remains unknown, will do absolutely no good..
• combine the use of this method with some kind of game so that the baby naturally memorized vocabulary.

I recommend that all children and their parents take this course from Lingualeo « For the little ones» . This online course- in a playful and very pleasant way - will captivate your child and make him ask you “I want to play English again”. My daughter still likes it)), although we bought it a decent time ago.

That's all, my dears. I hope that these materials will help you in learning the language. Moreover, you can get even more materials by subscribing to my blog mailing list. Improve your English with my help every day.

The skill of free speech at the beginning of learning any language seems, if not unattainable, then definitely requiring a lot of effort, which often scares off novice polyglots who are not used to hearing their own voice speaking in another language. However, you need to speak English, and at the same time - from the very beginning of the study, and this section will help you get an easy start. Video files with text and audio tracks will help you not only remember how individual phrases are built, but also how they are pronounced.

Dialogues in English are presented in different thematic aspects: in this section there are both elementary questions that students answer at the very beginning of learning the language, and individual situations that will be useful in cases where you are learning a language solely for travel. You can act out the presented situations both alone and in pairs.

Simple dialogues for dating

Everyone who attended English classes at school knows where to start learning it: just with an acquaintance. This is done not only because the teacher needs to get to know the students as soon as possible, but also because information about oneself rarely affects lexical blocks unknown to the beginner. Of course, the need for a complete presentation in the case of communication with the carrier may not appear, however, you will already be able to briefly tell about yourself, listing the most important points of your biography.

For those who study English on their own, it will be very useful, for example, the dialogue? - the interlocutors meet for the first time, ask each other for names. Of course, speech is slowed down and made as clear as possible (it will probably be more difficult in spoken English), but a beginner can already listen to how to get to know each other and repeat after the video participants.

Other, no less important question- ? - an obligatory part of any acquaintance, especially abroad. Of course, while you can not go into a detailed description of the cultural aspects and traditions of your country, but you can learn how to clarify the nationality of your interlocutor and even the homeland of his accent!

And, of course, how, without observing the rules of politeness - a question, in the life of your interlocutor and his close people? Study these dialogues and you will not notice how your confidence in your own knowledge of a foreign language will increase greatly!

Dialogues for individual situations

By stepping outside the classroom (and comfort zone), you can imagine yourself in a more problematic environment than getting to know one person for later communication. Even if you are still at the Beginner level, you may find yourself in a situation where you will need to ask questions, for example: or about the building you need (anything can be put in the place of the “Holiday Inn”: train station, shopping center, hotel). By the way, these dialogues can be modified by adding prepositions of place and direction already known to you: using them regularly will help you remember them faster!

Perhaps the most common question for tourists abroad who are desperately looking for someone to ask for advice is: When this question is asked, it can be said that communication has begun, as the speakers have established the language of conversation.

Of course, when you find yourself in a situation that requires a sufficient level of language proficiency to exchange information (as a rule, this applies to those moments when you come to a restaurant or even a simple store abroad), you have to involve not only the passive use of language through speech patterns, but also active - you have to listen to the interlocutor and understand his answer. However, there are two very important points at work here:

• pre-designed dialogues in English allow us to assume, at least in theory, that they can answer you, and you will be less afraid if you at least roughly understand how to behave;
• it is much easier to start a conversation with a few phrases in reserve, albeit memorized, but absolutely correct both in a grammatical and lexical sense.

There are also good news: if your interlocutor sees that you have problems with the language, he may begin to take care of himself and use simpler vocabulary, or even sign language. In a word, communication will still take place, even if you fail to understand what exactly they answered you.

Of course, in order to consolidate the material, you need to repeat it not once, but several times, but it’s still not worth sitting over one dialogue endlessly. Over time, you can even think about compiling your own dialogues - let the form remain the same, but the content changes somewhat. This will help you consolidate the studied grammatical constructions and get on the path to independently compiling colloquial phrases in a foreign language.

Knowing English is very good. But it is not enough to know individual words, in order to compose phrases with them, you need to connect your speech in such a way that a high-quality dialogue can be obtained from it. Agree, every day we compose dialogues, whether we like it or not. In the store, at work, in transport, on the street ... Communication is needed everywhere. And it will be strange if people communicate chaotically, that is, answer questions with words that they know, and not that are appropriate in this situation. If you are a beginner and just starting to learn English, then we bring to your attention English dialogues for beginners that will help you easily communicate with people even with a minimum vocabulary.

On a note! We don't want you to learn dialogue automatically. The student studying the material must understand what he is teaching. Therefore, we have provided a translation for each dialogue, so that your educational process was easy.

Popular English Dialogues for Beginners

Dialogues in English may be different. The higher your level of English, the more colorful and meaningful the dialogue. But, if you are just starting out, we recommend that you learn the basic basics of communication, which will serve as a foundation for building a more extensive conversation in the future. So, let's start with those that you can easily learn with a small vocabulary. But how to learn the dialogue in English so that it does not fly out of your head the very next day? First you need to pay attention to the most common topics. The most popular: about the weather, in a store (grocery, with clothes), in a cafe / restaurant, about plans for a vacation or weekend, etc. Let's start with these. When you are fluent in the above topics, you can begin to conquer new heights.

Where do we start? From dating! It would be ridiculous if you see a person for the first time and do not know how to start a conversation with him. Therefore, we offer a simple dialogue so that the first impression of a person about you is positive =>

• Hello! How are you?
• Hi! I am fine, thanks! And how are you?
• Fine! I am Yulia. What is your name?
• I am Lily, nice to meet you.
• Nice to meet you too.
• Are you from Barcelona?
• No, I am from London. And you?
• I am from Russia. Nice to meet you in Spain!

• Hey! How are you?
• Hey! Well thank you! And how are you?
• Fine! I am Yulia. And what is your name?
• My name is Lily, nice to meet you.
• I am also pleased to meet you.
• Are you from Barcelona?
• No, I'm from London. And you?
• I'm from Russia. Nice to meet you in Spain!

The first step is done - you met a person. What's next? If you do not know the interlocutor at all, then how to continue the conversation? The ideal way out of the situation - talk about the weather. This topic is always relevant and has not let anyone down yet. Consider a dialogue that will help you in further communication =>

• Hello Maria! You look great today!
• Hey Jane! thank you! It's very warm today, isn't it? So I have decided to put on my new dress.
• Yes, the weather is lovely, as well as your new dress. But have you heard about the rain this afternoon?
• Yes, I've heard about that. But that is okay. I have an umbrella.
• Oh, you are lucky, but I have no umbrella. I need to go back home to take it.
• Yes, be quick. Look, the sky is already full of clouds.
• I run. Bye, see you later.

• Hello, Maria! You look very good today!
• Hi Jane! Thank you! It's warm today, isn't it? So I decided to wear my new dress.
• Yes, the weather is great, as is your new dress. But did you hear about the rain this afternoon?
• Yes, I heard about it. But all is well. I have an umbrella.
• Oh, you're lucky and I don't have an umbrella. I need to go home and get it.
• Yes, come on quickly. Look, the sky is already overcast.
• I am running. Bye, see you later.
• Till!

Next, we suggest learning English dialogue, dedicated to cafes and restaurants. At lunch we hold business meetings (and English ones too), communicate with friends and colleagues, many drink morning coffee in public institutions, and in general, we spend a lot of time in cafes and restaurants. On weekends, on vacation, after work, before an important meeting… We go to lunch with friends and colleagues, to dinner with family and business partners. Knowing what to say is extremely important in order to give the impression of an educated, cultured and literate person.

Consider a dialogue in a restaurant:

• A: Are you ready to order?
• B: Yes, I'll have the fillet steak.
• A: How would you like your steak?
• Q: Rare, please. And I'd like a glass of red wine, and some mineral water.
• A: Still or sparkling?
• B: Sparkling.
• A: Fine.

Note! In everyday conversations, aphorisms may be present, for example, I am hungry as a hunter, which means I'm hungry like a wolf. Color your dialogue with vivid phrases using such expressions!

And one more thing: you can use quotes from famous people in a conversation or with a bit of irony. But... if you are not sure, we recommend that you abandon this idea. When you say an aphorism or a quote, you must be 100% sure that the meaning is accurate.

• Are you ready to order?
• Yes, I'd like a steak.
• What roast?
• With blood, please. As well as a glass of red wine and mineral water.
• With gas or without?
• With gas.
• Good.

To remember simple dialogues, we recommend that you mentally pronounce them every time, for example, when you go to a cafe or restaurant. When you order something, say it in English. This will be great practice. If you don’t know a word, write it down in a notebook and be sure to look at the translation at home. Order different dishes each time to learn more! And expand your vocabulary every time.

Here are a couple more dialogues related to everyday life:

We're going to the cinema.

• A: So… what’s on at the cinema?
• B: There's a film on called "Mission Impossible".
• A: What kind of movie is it?
• B: It's an action film. It's about an agent of the IMf and his mission to uncover a plot. It has good reviews.
• A: OK. Who's in it?

Now let's talk about shops. Everyone needs clothes. And you will communicate not only with the seller, but also with your friends, whom you will take as faithful advisers. But! It is extremely important to know the basic phrases that will help you clearly explain to the seller what exactly you need and what color. If a color scheme If you have not yet studied, we recommend that you study a few basic colors. We will leave the subtleties of studying numerous shades for later.

Repeat the dialogues as often as possible. At the same time, change the words in the phrases to increase the number of learned words. For example, instead of dress, put a skirt, etc. Change colors, styles, images ... You can make several from one dialogue! Turn on your imagination and go!

1. Imagine real situations

You can think of anything and wait until it comes true. You need to practice every day! Imagine that you are walking into a clothing store. What will you tell the seller? What color skirt do you want? What jeans do you want? Come up with a real image, from those things that you wear every day. If nothing works, start small. First, learn individual words (wardrobe items), then compose phrases with them, then sentences. Remember that dialogue is a two-way communication. You need to be prepared for the fact that you will be asked questions, and you need to know the answers to them. By imagining the real situation, you can easily learn the necessary vocabulary.

1. Start by writing small dialogues

There is no need to think that little means ineffective. For beginners, it's just the opposite. By learning small questions and answers, you can expand them over time: add adjectives, nouns and verbs. The main thing is to learn, figuratively speaking, the skeleton of the structure. It is worth remembering that in short sentences it is easier to combine tenses. If the sentences are long, then you may not correctly construct the thought grammatically. Start small! Once you've made your first successes, the knowledge base will grow very quickly.

1. Practice every day!

The last, but not the least -> The last, but not the least, as the English say. This is very wise advice. Will tell you how to quickly learn English dialogue so that there is a result. The fact is that by studying every day, we develop a regimen in ourselves, our will grows, we become more organized. One or two days of rest - and you have to start over. Work on your English every day! It doesn’t cost you anything to repeat a couple of phrases to yourself, passing by the store. Or imagine yourself in an English restaurant, sitting at the table at home. Everything is simple. The main thing is to overcome laziness. It is she who is responsible for our failures. Pull yourself together and English will submit to you!

Summing up

How to learn dialogue in English? Simply and easily! Study daily, make up real situations, choose synonyms for words and try to enlist the support of loved ones. Let them speak English with you at home (if they know it, of course). And listen to audio and video recordings! This is necessary for correct pronunciation. And if it is lame for you, then transcription will come to the rescue. Learning English is easier than you think!

Everyone knows that learning English can be for different purposes. Someone needs to master business correspondence, someone wants to read books written in English in the original, someone wants to understand the well-known songs of their favorite groups by ear, sometimes translation skills of special literature are required. In all these cases, the skill of direct communication may not be needed. But a huge number of people learn English precisely in order to communicate in it with friends, partners or with people on tourist trips abroad. In this case, the most important means for the formation of communication skills are a variety of dialogues in English.

As one respected university English teacher used to say when he had his students repeat the same phrases over and over again: “An unprepared speech is a well-prepared speech.” This phrase, paradoxical at first glance, actually has a certain practical meaning. If you are not a native speaker, in any situation of spontaneous communication, it is important for you to have in mind a set of well-learned clichés on various topics. In this case, you will not think about the composition of each sentence, and all your attention will be focused on the meaning of what you are talking about. That is why, when developing communication skills, the teacher gives the task not only to read and translate dialogues on various topics, but also to memorize them.

Examples of dialogues on various topics

As a rule, dialogues are compiled on certain topics. Usually, dialogues in English for beginners are an acquaintance dialogue, a conversation about the weather (a universal means of keeping up a conversation), a conversation in a cafe, a dialogue in a store, a conversation about plans for the weekend, etc.

In any case, it is important to remember that a dialogue is not just a set of phrases of the “question-answer” type, but also a reaction to the information of the interlocutor, and an emotional component of one degree or another. Therefore, when learning dialogues in English, the audio accompaniment plays very important role. Listening to dialogues, you not only memorize phrases, but also copy the intonation pattern, which has a special great importance specifically in dialogical speech.

Today we will present to your attention dialogues in English with translation, the full versions of which you can see,. In this case, the dialogues will be accompanied by exercises, detailed vocabulary and grammar explanations.

Dialogue on the topic "acquaintance"

So, any communication begins with an engagement.

Hello, how are you?

fine, thanks. And you?

Great! My name is Lima.

I am Emily. It's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, too.

Yes, I am. Where are you from?

Dialogue about the weather

As you know, if you need to start a conversation with an unfamiliar person, the topic of weather will be a win-win option. This topic is international, politically correct and universal for any circle. This topic is especially popular among residents of the UK. And this is not surprising, because this country is known for its changeable weather. Therefore, a few phrases about the weather that acquaintances exchange when they meet are often just a form of greeting, and not at all a way to get some information.

Hello, Martin, lovely day, isn't it?

Absolutely wonderful - warm and clear. What's the weather forecast for tomorrow? Do you know?

Yes, it says it will be a bit cloudy in the morning. But the day will be bright and sunny.

Effective Ways to Memorize Dialogues

As noted earlier, memorizing dialogues is the key to successful communication in English. The more speech cliches you learn, the easier it will be for you to form your thought in a spontaneous conversation. If you have an interlocutor or you are learning English in a group, learning and telling the dialogue is not a problem. Moreover, usually teachers introduce a creative component into the task - on the basis of a dialogue in study guide compose, learn and tell your version. However, if you are learning English on your own, not having a conversation partner makes things a bit more difficult. But, as you know, hopeless situations do not happen. Listen English dialogues online is the most effective method of memorization. As a rule, repeated listening helps to learn everything. necessary phrases, and at the same time reproduce them with the correct intonation.

An online tutorial can just become a kind of lifesaver in such a situation. Texts and dialogues (dialogues in english) on the site are voiced by professional speakers. You can choose for yourself the most comfortable way of memorization - relying only on the sound version, or relying on the English or Russian version of the texts.

Welcome everyone to my blog!

Today I would like to discuss such an ambiguous issue in the study of foreign languages ​​as use of dialogues. Many teachers and students believe thatdialogues in englishare indispensable for those who want to master this language perfectly, but there are also many opponents of this technique.

Dialogues and Naturalness of Speech

Learn a language through study grammar rules and acquaintances with prominent literary works in a foreign language is a great way to learn a language in such a way that you will not be able to put it into practice later. Correct speech from the point of view of grammar does not always sound beautiful and adequate from the point of view of a native speaker. And beautiful literary turns and complex vocabulary will not help in everyday communication. between friends.

Many teachers, including university teachers, often force their students to memorize large chunks of complex texts and recite them by heart. In this way, they hope to instill in students a flair for language, that same inner voice that, in difficult moments, says whether a certain phrase in a foreign language sounds good or not. In addition, they hope to expand vocabulary and improve intonation.

This approach makes sense. really expands the vocabulary, and recitation improves the pronunciation skills of sounds and intonations alien to the Russian ear.

However, much more efficientfor beginners and for children memorize simple and short dialogues. Lots of dialogue these days with translation and audio can be found and downloaded in the Internet. In particular, a large number of materials on various topics download can be found on my blog:

(audio versions of the dialogues will be posted during autumn-winter 2018-19)

Actively listening to audio or browsing video dialogues, which are also freely available on Youtube, you can quickly learn how to communicate in different situations everyday life and make your speech natural.

The great usefulness of dialogues can be illustrated by the following example. In an English-speaking culture, the ability to keep small conversations about nothing, the so-called small talk much appreciated. Any stranger on the street, for example, at a bus stop, can say hello to you and talk a little about the weather. Or a cashier at a supermarket may ask how long you have come to America and wish you a good day.

This is alien to Russian culture, and many get lost in such situations. For example, we are not used to smiling at strangers on the street and freely talking to them about anything. But a successfully supported spontaneous conversation can significantly motivate in learning a foreign language and make you believe in yourself. Colloquial modern phrases for everyday communication can be gleaned just the same in the dialogues.

Dialogue 1

— Hi there!

— Hi! What's your name?

— My name is Ann. And yours?

— My name is Kate. Nice to meet you!

— Nice to meet you too.

- Hey!

- Hey! What is your name?

- My name is Ann. And you?

- My name is Kate. Nice to meet you.

- And me.

The first dialogue is devoted to the topic of dating. With it, you can learn how to say hello, introduce yourself and ask the interlocutor aboutwhat his name is, and also say: "Nice to meet you." These are useful and necessary every day phrases that are rarely found in literature.

Dialogue 2

Excuse me Sir! Do you live here?

Yes.

— Could you tell me, please, where Old Gloucester Street is?

Sure. It's not far from here. Go straight ahead, then turn to the right and cross the square, and then turn to the right again.

— Thanks a lot!

- You're welcome.

— Excuse me, sir! Are you local?

- Yes.

“Can you tell me where Old Gloucester Street is?”

- Certainly. She's not far from here. Go straight ahead, then turn right and cross the square, then turn right again.

— Thanks a lot!

- You are welcome.

Dialogues about orientation will be very helpful for those who are going to travel abroad or live in a city where there are many tourists. With it, you can learn to give instructions on how to find a particular place, as well as how to contact a passerby if necessary.

The ideal way to work with this view educational texts - listen to phrases for dialogue repeatedly. Read its translation to make sure that all words and phrases are understood. Then you can try to repeat each remark after the speaker, also several times, trying to imitate his articulation and intonation as much as possible. Finally, say or read the dialogue out loud on your own. You can learn it by heart, then foreign words better remembered. But thisan optional item, since the main words and phrases will remain in memory after repeated repetition in different ways.

On this I say goodbye. I really hope that reading this article has brought not only benefit, but also pleasure. See you soon on my blog!
