Learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary; more importantly, it’s about using the language naturally in real-life situations. However, sentences in textbooks are often too formal, quite different from how people actually speak. To sound authentic and natural, you need exposure to real-life conversations. Here, we’ve selected commonly used English expressions across social, work, and travel contexts to help you break away from “textbook English” and learn how native speakers really talk. Below is the content from this session of “Learn English Through Movies – Inception CD2 12.” Keep practicing consistently, and your English will become more natural!

Don't lose yourself. Bai 20 when you working back. I want more. Vai! You remember yesterday, Mary? Yes. You said you tried not to be cruel to get you. But we did. We did, you don't remember. I miss you more than I can bear, but... We had our time together. And I have to let you go. I have to let you go. I'm sorry, Robert. You know, the Wilmeans said that I wanted me to be my own man. That's just a lip for him. That's what I'm gonna do on computer. What up? How's day? With Ma?

Not a fine side. I hope you lost. No, he'll be alright. I've never come to kill me. I'm waiting for someone. Someone from a half-numbered dream. God, and what's evil? We are young men together. And men hold men. And I feel so regrettably. Waiting to die alone. I've come back for you. I'll mind you. Something. Something you want to see.

This world is not real. To convince me to honor our rich men. To take a leap of faith, yes.
