This free online English course helps students improve their grammar and reading skills by learning about small talk. This course introduces English students to the essential vocabulary often used in small talk. After you've mastered these new words, you'll put them into sentences and discover when and how to use grammatical rules like modals of obligation, conclusion, deduction, and 'tag questions' to enhance your abilities. We recommend this course for those who want further progress in English and to learn additional basic skills.
