Maria: That's a good idea. I'll try to find someone who speaks French and talk to them in the language.
Anna: Yes, it's important to communicate in the language as much as possible. It helps you get used to it and improves your command of it.
Maria: I agree. I also try to think in French and use body language to express myself when I don't know a word.
Anna: That's a great tip! I also use plain language when I'm not sure how to say something. It helps me avoid using bad language and sounding unnatural.
Maria: I'll try that too. Thanks for the advice, Anna!
Anna: No problem, Maria. Let's keep practicing and soon we'll be able to speak the same language fluently!
