Chapter 1: Hello English! – The Fun Beginning

Learning to speak English is like opening a door to the whole world. When kids and teens learn spoken English, they don’t just learn words—they learn how to express ideas, share feelings, and connect with others confidently. This first chapter is your friendly start. Here, you’ll understand what spoken English really means, how to build confidence, and how to begin using it in daily life with fun and natural examples.

1. What is Spoken English?

Spoken English means communicating your thoughts aloud in English—using simple sentences, natural expressions, and the right tone. It’s not about memorizing long grammar rules, but about speaking clearly and confidently.

When you speak English, your main goal is to be understood, not to be perfect. Even native speakers make small mistakes sometimes. What matters is fluency, tone, and expression.

For example:

❌ “I no understand.”✅ “I don’t understand.”

The difference is small, but when you speak naturally, people connect with you easily.

2. Why Speaking English is Important

English is used everywhere — at school, in games, on YouTube, in movies, and even in jobs later in life. The more you practice speaking now, the easier it will be for you to think and respond naturally.

Speaking English helps you:

Talk with friends from other countriesExpress your ideas in school projectsUnderstand your favorite movies or songs betterBuild confidence and leadership

3. Overcoming Shyness and Fear

Many learners feel nervous when they start speaking English. That’s normal! You might think: “What if I say something wrong?” or “People will laugh at me.” But remember — every good speaker started with mistakes.

Here are a few tips:

Start small. Say one or two sentences every day.Talk to yourself. Practice in front of a mirror.Think in English. Describe what you’re doing, e.g., “I’m brushing my teeth,” “I’m going to school.”Don’t worry about your accent. The goal is to be understood, not to sound British or American.

4. Greetings and Introductions

The first step in spoken English is learning how to greet people politely.

Common Greetings:

Hi!Hello!Good morning!Good afternoon!Good evening!How are you?What’s up? (informal)

Replies:

I’m fine, thank you!I’m good!I’m doing great!Not bad!I’m okay!

5. Introducing Yourself

Here’s how you can introduce yourself in English easily.

Example 1 (for kids):

Hello! My name is Riya. I am ten years old. I study in class five. I love reading storybooks and playing football.

Example 2 (for teens):

Hi, I’m Arjun. I’m fourteen years old. I’m in year nine. I like music, drawing, and making new friends.

You can also say:

“Nice to meet you!”“Glad to meet you!”“Pleased to meet you!”

Chapter 2: Everyday Conversations

Speaking English every day is like exercising your muscles — the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. Everyday English is all about using simple, clear, and polite sentences to talk about what you do, see, and feel.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally in daily life: at home, school, or outside. You’ll also see how to answer questions quickly and confidently without worrying about grammar rules.

1. Talking About Daily Routines

Your daily routine gives you the best chance to practice English because it never changes much. You can talk about waking up, brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, going to school, studying, playing, and sleeping.

Here’s how you can describe your day:

I wake up at 7 o’clock.

I brush my teeth and wash my face.

I eat breakfast with my family.

Then I go to school.

I study, play, and talk with my friends.

I come home in the afternoon.

I do my homework.

I watch TV or play games.

I have dinner and then go to bed.

Now, try to say your own version aloud every morning. You’ll start thinking in English automatically!

2. Common Daily Questions and Answers

Here are some simple ways people talk during the day. These are short but powerful for daily use:

How are you? → I’m fine, thank you! / I’m good! / I’m a little tired.What are you doing? → I’m doing my homework. / I’m playing. / I’m watching TV.Where are you going? → I’m going to school. / I’m going to the shop.Did you eat? → Yes, I did. / Not yet. / I’m about to eat.What time is it? → It’s seven o’clock. / It’s half past two. / It’s almost nine.

Practicing these short exchanges every day makes your speech natural and automatic.

3. Morning Talk – At Home

Here’s how simple morning conversations sound in English:

Example 1:

Mom: Good morning! Did you sleep well?

Child: Yes, Mom. I slept very well.

Mom: Great! Now brush your teeth and get ready for school.

Child: Okay, Mom. I’ll be ready in ten minutes!

Example 2:

Dad: What do you want for breakfast?

Son: I want toast and jam, please.

Dad: Sure! And some milk?

Son: Yes, please! Thank you, Dad!

Notice how polite words like please and thank you make every sentence sound friendly and respectful.

4. Talking About Feelings and Emotions

Learning to express your feelings is very important in spoken English.

You can say:

I’m happy today!

I’m tired after school.

I’m excited about my birthday!

I’m sad because I lost my pencil.

I’m hungry.

I’m bored.

Let’s look at a short conversation using feelings:

A: Hey, you look sad. What happened?

B: I didn’t win the game.

A: Oh, that’s okay! You’ll win next time.

B: Thanks, that makes me feel better.

This helps you learn empathy and kindness while improving your English.

5. After School Talk

After school, you can share what you did during the day.

Example 1:

Mom: How was school today?

Child: It was great! We learned about planets.

Mom: Wow! Which planet did you like most?

Child: Jupiter! It’s so big!

Example 2:

A: Hey! How was your day?

B: Pretty good. We had a science quiz.

A: Oh, really? Was it hard?

B: A little bit, but I think I did well.

You can use words like great, fun, boring, tiring, amazing, okay, awesome to describe your day naturally.

6. At the Playground

Speaking English while playing is fun and helps you learn teamwork words and friendly phrases.

A: Let’s play hide and seek!

B: Okay! You count, and I’ll hide.

A: One, two, three… ready or not, here I come!

B: Haha! You’ll never find me!

Or while playing football:

A: Pass the ball!

B: Here you go!

A: Great shot! You scored a goal!

B: Yes! That was awesome!

These natural exchanges make your English flow smoothly.

7. Talking About Homework and Studies

I study every evening after dinner.

Example conversation:

I need help with my homework.

Would you mind helping me?

Can I help you?

Do you need any help?
