Phrases for making friends in English
🤝 Words to Start a Friendship (in English)
Making friends in another language can seem difficult. But often it doesn't take much: a simple phrase, spoken with sincerity , can open the door to new connections. English, with its directness, is perfect for starting.
🌱 The beginning counts, but you don't have to be perfect
You don't have to sound like a native speaker. Just show interest, listen, smile, and use the right words to make the other person feel welcome.
💬 Phrases that build bridges
- “Hi, I'm [your name].” — The first step: simple, direct, human.
- “Nice to meet you!” — Show openness. And it always works.
- “Where are you from?” — A light-hearted question that opens the dialogue.
- “Do you like [music / movies / travel]?” — Passions unite more than grammar.
- “We should hang out sometime.” — When you want to suggest another meeting, without pressure.
🎧 Tone is as important as words
In English, intonation and eye contact matter. Being authentic is more important than being perfect . People remember how you made them feel, not just what you said.
