Move From Tourist Phrases to Real Conversation

You can order a coffee and ask directions, then the first real reply leaves you stranded. This designs a programme to cross from set-piece phrases into actual conversational competence, targeting the sub-skills that fall apart under pressure. It suits the stuck advanced beginner. You get a plan to handle the conversation, not just the postcard moments.

<context>
You speak {TARGET_LANGUAGE} at a tourist level: you can order food, ask for directions, and handle basic pleasantries, but real conversations immediately expose you. You want to cross the threshold into genuine communicative competence within [timeframe].

**Design a conversational breakthrough programme** that bridges tourist and communicative levels:
1. Identify the 5 conversational sub-skills that unlock general conversation (not just vocabulary)
2. Build a conversation starter script for 3 common real-world scenarios
3. Design a shadowing exercise for pronunciation and natural rhythm
4. Plan weekly speaking practice: where to find partners, how to structure sessions
5. Create a 'conversational emergency kit': 10 phrases that buy time and keep conversation flowing when you are lost
