Money Conversations for A2 Older Teens
Sixteen-to-eighteen-year-olds are beginning to handle their own money, making financial topics immediately relevant for A2 speaking practice. These 50 questions ask older teens to talk about what they spend pocket money on, how they save for things they want, whether they prefer shopping online or in stores, and what they would do with a large amount of money.
Vocabulary reflects the financial world teens are entering: words like 'pocket money', 'save', 'spend', 'afford', 'price', 'discount', and 'budget' combine with structures like 'I usually spend my money on...', 'I am saving for...', 'I prefer... because...', and 'if I had..., I would...' that give A2 speakers practical language for talking about money.
Why Money Motivates A2 Teens
Money is personal, practical, and universally interesting to teens. Whether discussing the cost of a new game, saving for a trip, or comparing prices online, these conversations feel genuinely useful. A2 teens who can discuss spending in English are building language they will use in shops, online, and in future workplaces.
