Build the Skills You Need to Start Speaking English
Conversational English is the informal, everyday spoken language used in real-life interactions such as casual conversations, travel, and social settings. Unlike formal or academic English, it focuses on natural speech patterns, common expressions, and the ability to communicate spontaneously with native speakers.
What you will learn in a Berlitz English speaking course:
• Pronunciation and natural speech patterns to be understood clearly by native speakers
• Vocabulary for daily situations, helping you confidently order food at restaurants or ask for directions
• Listening comprehension skills to understand native speakers in everyday situations
• Confidence to hold a 5-minute casual conversation through real-time practice
• Cultural context for authentic communication in social and professional settings

Conversational vs. Formal English
Understanding the difference between conversational and formal English helps you communicate appropriately in any situation:
• Vocabulary: Conversational English uses contractions (I'm, you're, can't) and slang, while formal English avoids them
• Sentence structure: Casual speech uses shorter, simpler sentences; formal English uses complete, complex sentences
• Tone: Conversational English is relaxed and friendly; formal English is professional and polished
• Usage: Use conversational English with friends, while traveling, or in casual settings; use formal English in business emails, presentations, and official documents
