English for Everyone-conversational English practice tool

Example

A learner is preparing for a casual conversation with coworkers. They might ask, 'How do I ask about someone's weekend?' English for Everyone would teach them simple questions like, 'How was your weekend?' and provide possible answers they might hear, such as, 'It was great, I went to the park.'

Scenario

A non-native English speaker working in an English-speaking country who wants to engage more with coworkers would use this function to develop natural, friendly conversations.

Example

A user asks, 'How do I order food in a restaurant?' English for Everyone provides practical examples such as, 'I'd like the chicken sandwich, please,' or 'Can I have a glass of water?' It also explains polite ways to ask for something, such as adding 'please' or 'could you.'

Scenario

This is especially useful for travelers who need to navigate English-speaking environments with basic requests, like ordering food or asking for directions.

Example

If a user is confused about similar phrases like 'Can I' vs 'May I,' English for Everyone explains that both can be used to ask for permission, but 'May I' is slightly more formal. For instance, 'Can I use your phone?' is more common in everyday speech.

Scenario

This helps students who are confused by small but important differences in meaning or formality, especially in polite situations like at work or when interacting with strangers.
