Useful phrases to use in Spanish Oral exam.
Hello, I needed a little help on ideas for my oral. I have the subject specific vocabulary I need and I don't run out of ideas, it just doesn't sound as fluent because I don't know any good linking phrases. I also don't know how to start an answer, I have a few expressions like "A mi ver" "En mi opinión"
Just wondering if anybody had anymore to share, I can't seem to find any on the internet.
