Daily Conversations to Learn English Speaking Practice | English Story to Learn English Easily

Let's be honest, English is hard. Grammar, sounds, phrasal verbs, total chaos. But here's the good news. You don't need a textbook, you need a screen to enjoy our everyday conversation. That's how you learn sentence structures, useful words, and how real people respond day by day. So stop overthinking, start watching. One click, real progress. And let's start with us. Next time we should follow the recipe. Ta-da! Salted vanilla cake. I hope this new trend is good because salt and dessert, ew. You're willing to bake with me so you know it's good. Come on, try it. Holy cow, how much salt did you put in? Well, I eyeballed it. You eyeballed the salt? Exactly how much? It says one teaspoon, but since I saw you put a lot of sugar in the cake mixture too, I thought... Sis, this cake tastes like the ocean, literally. It's not that bad, you just love to mess with me. Really? Okay, next time we should follow the recipe. Huh, what do you mean we? You're the one who decided to freestyle the recipe. Wow, it's really that salty. I could float in this cake without trying. You turned dessert into the Dead Sea. Okay, I get it. I will try to follow the recipe next time. So, what now? Do we just trash it? Keep it. Mom can use it next time she runs out of salt. Best use of a cake I've ever seen. Have you washed your hands? Morning, Ben. Breakfast's ready. Wait, have you washed your hands? They're clean. I haven't even done anything yet. Woke up and walked here. Ben. Okay, technically no, but I didn't touch anything weird. I don't trust him, Mom. Ben, don't make me get to three. One, two... Fine, fine, washing now. You happy, little boss? Let me sniff. Dude, I washed them. Back off. Some people need coffee, and I just need one of you to behave. You still smell like a pillow. How does that even count as dirty? Just wash before you touch food, please. Save us all the drama. All right, I'll wash before Max calls the police. I'm the hygiene hero this house needs. You two can argue over soap for hours. Some of us care about cleanliness, Mom, and some of us just want waffles. Is this the final version of the report? Morning, Mark. You were here early. Yeah, I had a contest with a report at 7am. I lost. What report? Don't tell me the one we need to send the client today. Yeah, that report. But in my defense, it looked way less complicated yesterday. And now? Now it feels like I'm stuck in a maze, being chased by numbers. And none of them are friendly. Mark, answer me honestly. Is this the final version of the report? Final is a strong word. Mark. It's almost ready. The numbers are there. The words are there. It exists. It exists? That's not exactly what I'd call ready. I'll do one final pass, like a real final, with grammar and graphs and everything. You have 30 minutes. After that, I'm sending whatever version exists. Motivated by fear, classic Anne. No, motivated by getting fired, Mark. Okay, getting ready for my final, final version. Good. Impress me. Or at least confuse the client enough to buy us time. Dang. The weather turned out nice today. These burgers better be worth it. I almost cried cutting onions this morning. Or maybe the onions cried because they had to see your new haircut. This haircut cost me $12. You should ask for a refund. Hey, chill. Let's not roast the chef before the food's done. Hear that? Be careful, or you'll get no lunch. Remind me why I hang out with you guys again. Because I bring sunshine. Rare, like this weather. Let's talk about that instead of my haircut. Yeah, the weather turned out nice today. Blue skies and zero wind. It's perfect. For now, not sure it's gonna rain later or not. Don't say that. The sky hears everything. If it rains, I'm blaming it on Eric's haircut. My haircut is not a weather curse, okay? It's called style. Style? Bro, it looks like you lost a bet. Can we just agree that today is a nice day for a barbecue outside? Yeah, and I'm taking the first burger before the weather or the conversation turns worse. Do you think she'd like this color? Dude, there are like a hundred sheets of red. Yeah, I thought red was just red. This one's called cherry crush. What does that even mean? Hi! Are you picking out a gift? Uh, yeah. It's for my girlfriend. I don't really know how to... Is she warm or cool-toned? You know, her skin tone. Warm? Cool? I don't even know her blood type. Warm-toned skin has golden undertones. Cool-toned looks more pink. If it's hard to tell, she might be neutral. Um, how do I tell? Hmm, she's warm-toned. I'd highly recommend coral reds or brick shades for her. Let's go with this coral red, then. Do you think she'd like this color? Actually, yeah. That one sounds kind of fancy. Very girlfriendy. Hey, I think you should grab some flowers, too. Maybe a teddy bear. For boyfriend package? Sure, why not? Go big or go home, right? Yeah, that's the face of a man who just made a good move in his romantic relationship. Oh, butterfly. What are you doing, mommy? I'm making cinnamon rolls. Want to help me? Okay. What's that white thing on your cheek? Is that your makeup? Oh, it's flower, darling, not makeup. Oh, butterfly. What? Butter's flying? Where? No, no, not butter flying. Butterfly, sweetie. It's so pretty. How does it get so beautiful? Well, they start as little worms. They wrap themselves into a cocoon, sleep for a while, and wake up with beautiful wings. So it sleeps and wakes up pretty? That's right. It changes while it sleeps and becomes something new. Mommy, I want to be pretty like a butterfly, too. Hmm, if you want to be as pretty as a butterfly, you'll need to sleep early instead of playing with my phone every night, sweetie. That's also a part of getting pretty, mommy. Well then, we'd better finish these rolls. Even pretty girls need to eat, you know. It's on the house. Here's our new cocktail, Mango Chill Fizz. It's on the house. Wait, is it homemade? Like, you made it in your actual home kitchen? Uh, no, not my home. That'd be weird. So you didn't stir this in your kitchen with a spoon from your drawer? No, sir. Then why say on the house? We're under the ceiling, not on the roof. And this is a bar, not a house. Fair point. On the house just means it's free, our treat. The house is just another way of saying the bar or business. Oh, I thought I had to climb a roof or something. Please don't. We're not ready for rooftop accidents. Got it. You sure it's not from your dad's kitchen? Definitely not. My dad can't even make toast. Planning the trip. I'm so excited for our trip, but I don't know where to start. How do we plan it? Don't worry, Anna. First, we need to decide where to go. Do you guys have a place in mind? I've always wanted to visit Japan. The cherry blossoms look so beautiful. Japan is a great choice. We can start by booking our flights and accommodation. Do you have a budget? I think around $1,500. Is that enough? Yes, that should be enough. That's great. We'll find some good deals. Let's check online for flights first. Packing the luggage. Are you all set for packing, Anna? Not really. I'm confused about what to pack. It's my first time traveling. Just pack the essentials, clothes, phone, backup charger, and don't forget your passport. Right. Should I bring a lot of clothes? No need to overpack. Just enough for a few days. You can always do laundry there. I got it. What about shoes? Should I bring fancy ones? Comfortable shoes are a must. You'll be walking a lot. Okay, I'm packing my sneakers. I think I'm ready. Awesome. Airport check-in. I'm so nervous. What do we do now? Relax, Anna. First, we need to check in. Do you have your passport and ticket? Yes, I have them here. Catherine reminded me of this. Great. Let's go to the counter. Hello. May I have your passports, please? Here you go. Thank you. How many bags are you checking in? Just one for me. Same here. Me too. All right. Your flight leaves from gate five. Have a nice trip. Thank you. See? That wasn't so bad. You're right. I feel better now. Boarding the flight. They're calling our row. Are you two ready to board? Ready as ever. Yes, I'm ready. What do we do? Just follow the line. Have your boarding pass and passport ready. Boarding passes, please. Thank you. Enjoy your flight. Wow, this is exciting. Where are our seats? Right here. You have the window seat. Yay. I can't wait to see the view. Call a taxi. How do we get to the hotel? They have subways, taxis, and many other means of transportation here. Let's call a taxi. It's the easiest way. That's a good idea. But we don't speak Japanese. What if they don't understand us? Don't worry. Many drivers speak some English. Let's give it a try. We can also use translation apps if needed. Hello. Where to go? Hi. We're going to the Grand Tokyo Hotel. Grand Tokyo Hotel. Okay. That was easier than I thought. See? No problem at all. Buying souvenirs. These are so cute. I want to buy something for my family. Good idea. What about those keychains? They're small and easy to carry. I also want to buy them. Let me ask the shopkeeper about the cost. Hello. Can I help you with anything? Yes. I'd like to buy these keychains. How much are they? 500 yen each. I'll take four, please. Thank you. Do you need a bag? Yes, please. Oh, you guys found some great souvenirs. I'm so excited to give these to my family. Local food. This place looks amazing. I've never tried sushi before. You'll love it. Let's order a few dishes to share. Good evening. Are you ready to order? Yes. We'll have some sushi, tempura, and miso soup, please. Great choices. Anything to drink? Matcha tea for me, please. I'll have a green tea, please. Same for me. Coming right up. I'm a little nervous to try new food, but I'm excited too. Don't worry. It's delicious. Just take small bites and enjoy the flavors. Wow. This is so good. I'm glad I tried it. I knew you'd like it. Trying local food is one of the best parts of traveling. I agree. I can't wait to try more. First impressions. Sophie, I'm so nervous. What if he doesn't like me? Relax, Emily. Just be yourself. He's already interested, so you're halfway there. But what if I say something silly? It's okay. Just smile, be polite, and ask him about himself. Everyone likes to talk about themselves. You're right. I'll just focus on having a good time. Exactly. And remember, first impressions matter. But they're not everything. Just enjoy the moment. What about clothes? Should I dress mature or sweet? Which style do you feel most comfortable with? I like sweet things. But I'm also a grown woman. I'm worried if it's okay to dress like that. Why not? If he is a good man, he will respect your style. You can't live your whole life for someone else, right? Wear what you like, as long as it's polite and comfortable. Thanks, Sophie. You always know what to say. Hey man, are you ready for the date? I think so, but I'm kind of nervous. It's been a while since my last date. Just remember, it's not about impressing her with big gestures. Focus on having a good time and getting to know her. I got it. But there is one more thing. I can't decide what to wear. Should I go with the blue shirt or the gray one? Go with the blue. It's more casual, but still looks sharp. Also, it brings out your eyes. Good point. What about jeans or chinos? Chinos, definitely. They're a bit more dressed up, but still comfortable. You want to look like you put in some effort without overdoing it. Got it. Should I bring flowers or is that too much for a first date? Hmm. How about something simple like a box of chocolates? It's thoughtful without being overwhelming. Thanks, Lucas. I feel more prepared now. Planning the date. So, Emily, do you have any favorite places in town? I really like the park by the river. It's peaceful and has a great view. That sounds nice. How about we take a walk there after dinner? I'd love that. It's a perfect spot for a quiet chat. Great. We can grab some ice cream on the way, too. That sounds like a perfect evening I'm in. What time should we meet? How about 7 p.m. tomorrow? That gives us plenty of time to enjoy dinner and catch the music before it gets too late. 7 p.m. works for me. Okay. See you later. Choosing the restaurant. Have you been to the A.C. Italian Cuisine restaurant before? I tried that restaurant once a year ago, but I want to make sure it is still as good as before. I need to prepare carefully so that Emily will have good memories. No, but I've heard good things about it. You know, Jimmy? He just proposed to his girlfriend successfully two weeks ago at that restaurant. That place is Cupid. That might be a good start for you and Emily. I don't believe in such things, but it seems like a good thing. Thanks, Lucas. I'll invite Emily to this restaurant. Good luck, Jake. Emily, would you like to try the Italian restaurant near the city center? It's worth a try. Of course, I'm looking forward to it. You plan so carefully. No big deal. I just want us to have a great date. See you tomorrow. Cool. Conversation starters. So, Emily, what do you like to do in your free time? I enjoy reading and painting. It helps me relax. That's cool. What kind of books do you like? Mostly fiction. I love getting lost in a good story. What about you? I'm into hiking and photography. Nature is my escape. That sounds amazing. I've always wanted to try hiking. Maybe we can go together sometime. I know some great trails. I'd like that. Are you ready to order? Yes. We'll start with the bruschetta. And then we'd like to share the lasagna and carbonara. Excellent choices! I'll bring those out shortly. This place has such a nice atmosphere. It's perfect for a first date. I'm glad you like it. I wanted to choose somewhere special. Saying goodbye. I had a really great time tonight, Emily. Dinner, the walk, the music. It was all perfect. I did too, Jake. Everything was just right. You planned it so well. I'm glad you think so. I was a little nervous about everything going smoothly, but it turned out better than I hoped. You didn't need to worry. It was one of the best evenings I've had in a long time. So I guess this is where we say goodbye. Yes, I suppose so. But hopefully not for too long. Definitely. I'd love to do this again sometime soon. Maybe next weekend? I'd like that. Let's keep in touch and plan something. Do you need a ride home? I can call a taxi for you. That's sweet, but I'm okay. Sophie has something to do nearby, so she'll be here to pick me up in five minutes. Emily! Here! She was faster than I thought. Take care, Emily. I had a great time. You too, Jake. Have a good night. Do not disturb. Do you know where Jenny is? I need to meet her now. I think she's in her room. I tried to call her, but no one answered. Let me see. Oh, there's a piece of paper on her door. It says do not disturb. Oh, really? I didn't notice that. Maybe Jenny is wearing headphones and cooking. I see. I need to go now, but can you tell Jen to call me back in the afternoon? Sure. I'll tell her that you were looking for her. Come what may. I heard that you're not going to university next year. Yeah, that's right. What do you intend to do in your gap year? I'll travel around the world and discover different cultures. Great plan. But what if COVID-19 is back? Come what may. I'll not waste any time in my gap year. Can I ask why you decided not to go to university? I haven't found what I'm interested in yet. I think I will take it slow. I got it. How have you been? Long time no see, Jane. How have you been? Yeah, I'm pretty good now. You? I'm a bit busy lately. How come? I just started my new job, so there's a lot of things I need to get used to. Oh, congratulations. What do you do? I'm working as a secretary. I have to organize a schedule for my manager. However, I'm quite confused about where I should start. Don't worry. You'll figure it out soon. Just check all the necessary documents that your manager gave to you. Thank you. He dashed my hopes. You've had three glasses of beer already. Are you okay? No, I'm not. What happened? You know James, my boyfriend, right? Yeah, I know him. He said we should break up. What? I thought you guys were getting along well. Me too. But the moment he said he would not marry me, he dashed my hopes. You asked him whether he wanted to get married or not, and he said no. Yeah, something like that. Then why did he go on a date with you? He said he just wants to date and not go further. He just wants to take advantage of you. You'd better feel relieved that you broke up with him. I'm trying to get over him with beer. Please give me your hand. Good evening. In order to protect your health, would you mind if I sterilize your hands before having a meal? Yes, please. Yes, please. Please give me your hand. Please allow me to check your temperature. Sure. Your temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. Thank you for your cooperation. I hope you enjoy your meal today. Thank you. The service here is nice. They care about customers' health. Yeah, they have given a good impression. Hey, I'm so excited to tell you that I'm finally going on a holiday. That's great news. Where are you going? I'm going to Hawaii. I can't wait to soak up the sun on the beach. Wow, that sounds amazing. How long are you going for? Just a week. But I'm planning to make the most of it and explore as much as I can. You deserve a break. Enjoy your holiday. Thanks, I will. It's been such a busy year. I really need this. It's important to take some time off and recharge. Absolutely. I'm planning to do some hiking, try some new food, and maybe even take a surfing lesson. That sounds like so much fun. I'm a bit jealous. You should come with me next time. It would be great to have some company. That would be awesome. Let's plan something for next year. Definitely. I'll see you when I get back. Enjoy your holiday. How was your weekend? Good morning, Tom. Good morning, Jack. How was your weekend? It was great. I went hiking with my family. Fantastic. Were you tired? I was a little bit exhausted due to the hot weather. But talking to my family helped me relax a lot. It's good to hear that. How about you? What did you do on the weekend? It was a relaxing weekend for me. I went to the cinema with Andy. After that, we went to my house and played board games. Which board game did you play? Monopoly. I love that game. Let's play together next time. I will move heaven and earth. Gosh, I'm in big trouble now. What's wrong? I have a 1,000 word report and the deadline is tonight. Oh my god. Do you have enough time to finish it on time? I will move heaven and earth. I think I won't go to play football with you this afternoon. It's okay. Your report is more important. I don't know whether I can make it or not. I'm sure you can. You should start right now. Okay. I'll try my best. Good luck. Come quickly. John speaking. Hey, John. It's me, Amber. Where are you? Sorry, but can you wait a little bit more? I'm on my way. Come quickly. The film is going to start in 15 minutes. The traffic is terrible. I will try to be there on time. Okay. So I will buy popcorn and coke for us first. Yes, please. Thank you so much. I'm so sorry, Amber. That's okay. It's not your fault. Please drive carefully. I don't agree. The weather forecast said there might be rain tomorrow. Should we continue going camping? I don't agree. It would be too dangerous to go out in such weather. I think we should wait for a few days to check the weather. Yeah. If it's sunny, we can go. What will we do tomorrow? Should we make a plan to do something else? Do you want to play games or watch a movie? Sounds good. We can use the food we prepared for camping and eat it while watching movies. Thanks for watching. Please give us a like, share, and comment.
