So a few years ago, a friend of mine visited from another country and he was surprised at how many times I talked to strangers when we went out for the day.
00:00He was surprised because in his country it's not culturally acceptable to talk to strangers as much as I talked to strangers.
00:09So in this English lesson, I'm going to talk about when it's okay to talk to strangers in English-speaking countries.
00:17Maybe you've recently moved to an English-speaking country or you're visiting an English-speaking country.
00:24I'm going to go over when it's okay to talk to strangers and the kinds of things you would say in those situations.
00:29(upbeat music) So you might be wondering, " How is this an English lesson?
00:36How is Bob telling me about how to talk to strangers an English lesson?"
00:45Well, I look at conversations with strangers as free English practice.
00:49If you can learn how to start a conversation appropriately with a stranger, it's like a little practice conversation that you can have in English.
00:55One of the first places where it's okay to start a conversation is whenever you're waiting in line.
01:03If I'm at the grocery store waiting in line or if I'm anywhere waiting in line, after a little while, it's actually okay to say to the person beside you something like this, " Wow, this line isn't moving very fast."
01:09Or " how long have you been waiting here?"
01:21It's just okay to start a conversation that way.
01:23The person might respond and just give you an answer and that might be the end of it, but they might respond and then ask you a question about something, and you might have a little free practice English conversation.
