Dialogues are a common way to practise pronunciation. Although you don’t need a partner for this, it can be helpful.
The most important aspect to focus on is the exchange. What exactly are the people in the dialogue trying to communicate?
Dialogues are much more than just the words and sentences. They are about the intonation, the stress, the rhythm and connected speech.
You can also change how a dialogue is delivered. For example, saying it:
- slowly
- happily
- loudly.
Here’s an example of a simple dialogue:
A: Hi! What’s your name?
B: I’m Babou. What’s your name?
A: I’m Ndeye. Where are you from?
B: I’m from Dakar. What about you?
A: I’m from Dakar, too.
