Try to ask questions!

Many English learners tend not to ask questions. Instead, they tend to quietly listen to what others speak. This creates an imbalance in which one speaker, often a native speaker, speaks and asks lots of questions and English learners tend to answer questions.

In order to change this balance, it is always good to try to ask questions. They do not have to be important or very good questions. Any questions will do!

A tip is to ask WH questions. WH questions are the questions which start What, where, who, when and why. For example:

What did you do over the weekend?

Where did you go?

Who did you go with?

When did you come back?

Why did you choose that place?

Good luck and happy English learning!
