There's nothing like the insight that can be gathered from someone who's actually going through the process of improving their English conversational skills. Here's a very thorough article taking an in-depth look at the initial struggle, the benefits of the results, and a plethora of tips on how to get there. A great read, indeed!

With the recent Slovenian FIBA EuroBasket 2017  win over longtime rival Serbia, I got inspired to do a little video about my second home with: "The TOP 3 ENGLISH Conversation MISTAKES SLOVENIANS Make and How to FIX Them".

A short clip answering the most frequently asked questions about The Good Conversationalist as the service where I coach my online clients to help them improve their English communication skills.

One of the videos I go over the most with my clients is Celeste Headlee's TED talk "10 ways to have a better conversation". The reason behind it is that instead of getting too theoretical about what to do, and what not do, in order to have a great conversation, she gets down and dirty from the start and gives very clear and actionable advice; all super useful and super entertaining -- just the way I like it in own my sessions. 

Now, there's so much beautifully helpful material here, that it would take many blog posts to unpack (and I might just do that!), but for now, watch out specifically for Rule 9: "Listen". As she herself mentions, it's by far the most important, and the one most of us have the hardest time dealing with. Absolutely one of my favorites, I love this woman!
