第二篇：实用口语教你如何跟老外聊天（精选）
实用口语教你如何跟老外聊天
今天凯撒国际英语的小编教您如何跟外国朋友聊天。如果你不了解外国人的文化习惯，那么你们可能聊天不会太愉快，如果你看完这篇文章，你会恍然大悟，原来和老外交朋友也是很容易的事。好啦，开始学习吧！
首先，电影、餐厅、公众事件、假期和电视节目（films, restaurants, public events, vacations and TV shows）这几个都是西方人乐于聊的东西，用它们作为聊天话题绝对没错，不用担心触到雷区~~此外，传说中外国人很喜欢谈论的天气也是可以拿来当话题的，不过有些人会觉得有点无聊就是了。
其次大家要了解，西方人还蛮喜欢给朋友建议的，所以如果你拿某件事儿来问他们，他们会很乐意给你答案的哟~~比方说：
Do you know if anything good is playing at the cinema right now?
你知道影院里现在有上映什么好电影吗？（“电影院”英国人说cinema，美国人则说movie theater）
I really want to find a good Italian restaurant;any suggestions? 我很想找到一家好的意大利餐馆，你有什么推荐吗？
I saw an advertisement on TV last night for that new show, Prison Break.Have you seen it?
昨晚我在电视里看到那部新剧《越狱》的广告，你看到了吗？
3.最后，要想把谈话继续下去，最好的办法就是多问问题啦！
比如你问，“Do you know any good Italian restaurants?”（你知道什么吃意大利菜的好地方吗？）对方却回答，“No, sorry—I don't really like Italian food.”（对不起我不知道，其实我不太喜欢吃意大利菜……）那你可以接着问，“Oh, ok.What kind of food do you usually go out for then?”（哦~~那你一般出去吃哪种菜呢？）这样就能比较顺利地把话题继续下去哦！

第三篇：老外教英语（定稿）
老外教英语
随着改革开放的不断深入，来华的外国人也越来越多，这为我们练习外语提供了很大的便利。比如在一些城市的外语角，往往有外国人受到邀请或者自愿前去和中国外语爱好者练习口语。我们学习外语口语的人一定要利用好这样的机会，锻炼自己的语言应用能力。可是有的初学者往往不知道如何和外国人交谈。这里我就自己的体会和认识谈一谈。
第一，要有一个不卑不亢的态度。我们长期闭关锁国，形成了一种特别的心理定势，对待外国人或者卑躬屈膝，或者无端地傲慢，而不是把他们也作为和自己相等的人来看待。尽管我国开放已经二十多年，但是这种心理积淀还没有完全清除。所以有的人一见到外国人，就自觉低人一等，腿肚子发软，这是要不得的。但同时我们也要防止敌视外国人的心理。不要认为所有的外国人都是敌人。作为个体的外国人也有好，有坏，和我们自己一样。
第二，要有开口说话和提问题的胆量。要认识到外语不是自己的母语，说不好是自然的事情，说得一点没有毛病才是不自然的，所以不要害怕犯错误。一般情况下，犯外语错误是不会受到恶意的讥笑的。另外如果遇见了自己不能表达的现象，可以提出问题，问一下对方正确的表达方法。一般都会得到很好的答复。
第三，要有备而谈。尽管自由如水是好的谈话的一个特征，但是学习外语的交谈却应该受到良好的控制。因为我们用外语交谈往往最大的障碍一般来自词汇，所以如果任其所之，那么自己往往会陷入迷茫的境地，因为对方说的很多词汇你可能没有听到过。所以最好在谈话之前自己准备一下，见到老外谈些什么，这方面的词汇有哪些，如何控制话题等等。当然，这样做有的时候是有一定难度的，但它的效果却非常好。另外，话题准备应该不限于一个，以免谈话僵持。
第四，学习一些必要的文化背景知识。虽然说入乡随俗，外国人到了中国应该遵从中国的主流文化，但是他们一些基本的禁忌还是应该为我们所了解的。比如初次见面不要过问属于隐私性的问题等等。这样在交谈中才不至于出现尴尬的局面。
要把跟老外学英语是一件有趣的事情，如果真的想快速提高英语口语，可以去伯瑞英语找外教一对一的学习，学习效果很明显，同样也是跟老外学英语，这种一对一的视频方式省时又方便，而且效果也受到很多人的认可。
