If You Understand This Conversation, You Can Speak English | English Speaking Practice

🎧 Welcome to English, Just Like That — natural, cozy conversations to help you listen, learn, and speak English. You understand English but can't speak it yet? In this episode, you don't just listen — you say half of a real conversation yourself.

Give two choices: "Did you say twelve or twenty?" 🍝 Recommend a place: "If you like..., you can't go wrong with...
