Great ways to transition to a new idea in a conversation:

  • “When it comes to”
  • “In terms of”
  • “As far as”
    • “As far as good doctors go this is one person I would recommend”
  • “Speaking of…”

 

Today we’ll focus on “speaking of”:

Why is this so natural? We use it all of the time and it can be used on the IELTS Exam and in English conversation.

We use it when something new comes to mind. It’s a bridge from one idea to the next.

We like it because it’s spontaneous. We don’t speak in a linear way. We are always bouncing from topic to topic.

This phrase is a key tool to create more spontaneity in your speaking skills.
