When to END a conversation: 4 signs
If you want people to enjoy speaking with you, you need to know when to end a conversation. English speakers won’t tell you that they want to end a conversation, but we do use body language, tone, and other cues to indicate we’re ready to move on. In this special lesson I’ll teach you to read these signs, so you can end a conversation pleasantly and politely. You’ll also learn simple English expressions that you can use to end a conversation politely when you want to stop speaking with someone.Related Lessons

5 sign. – Can you lend me some money? :)
is this right way to end a conversation ( Excuse me if you don’t mind, can we talk about this over the phone since I have to go to the hospital.
Thank you Adam for this special lesson to discover when people want to end a conversation or also to end it when I are bored.
One way to cut a conversation would be: “Sorry to interrupt this conversation, but I just remembered that I have an important matter to take care of that will take several hours and I have to leave you right now.”
When someone opens their mouth while I am speaking, it may be a sign that they are bored or want to leave the conversation.
Sorry James. I was wrong and I changed your name.
Thank you very much James for your work.
Thank you James.
Hey, it was really nice to see you again, now I need to catch up with my friend, take care.
Hi! What a nice topic! Thank you! I couldn’t watch the film, I got 80.
Hey, it was nice seeing you again, but I have to go before I am late for another lesson.
I like it
Some people have a lot of free time and long for a patient listener. As to a conversation, because they are hungry as much as a bee which wants to take even the last nectar drop in a flower, if they can find such a person, they do not allow them to leave. They usually turn a blind eye to the body expressions showing that person is bored since they just focus on what is important to themselves. Stopping the conversation (actually it is a monolog) sometimes can be really difficult especially if you are polite and do not want to hurt other person’s feelings. At such a time, making up an excuse can be helpful. First, pay attention to their respiratory pace. Then, start your speech giving your excuse while they breath in, and speak fast as much as possible. Finally, try to run away at the first opportunity without looking backward!
Thanks Benjamin!
Woooow
Thats the best way?…just run and never look backward

I responded 60% in the right way. It is important to practice because in the real life this situation could be in front of me any time.
Awesome video, James, as usual. Thank you! Here is my homework example of how to end a conversation: “Hey man, was nice to meet you! I gotta go – I’m fixing my sleep schedule so I need to go to bed soon”
