0:00 Let's go at the beach now. Okay, let's go to the beach now. Are you all done catching worms? Today you're going to watch a natural English conversation between me and my three-year-old son, Dory. One of the reasons why so many people still have difficulties understanding naturally spoken English even after spending years studying English is simply because they're not exposed to enough real English, naturally spoken English. The English that we learn in class is often a bit superficial. The English that we read in grammar books is not really how English is spoken in real life. And so I hope
0:46 that you enjoy this conversation that you'll see today. It's messy. It's not perfect, but it's the way that people really speak in everyday life. If you have any questions about the words that we use, the mistakes that we make, or anything else, please write your comment down below. I also created a free downloadable worksheet for this video with exercises that you can complete as you watch the conversations today. Download that worksheet from the description down below and do the exercises as you watch this video. Okay, shoes. Put your shoes on. Can you put them on by yourself?
