"conversationally" and "conversational".
 
Hi everybody!
I would like know the difference between "conversationally" and "conversational". I know the first one is an adverb and the second an adjective. But I thing these are the kind of words we do not understand with explanation but with examples and I have difficuty in using them in the correct place in a sentence. Can you send me some  phrases with them? I think I�ll be able to better understand them.
Thanks in advance!
Have a good night!

The best way to learn a language is conversationally.
 
I use a conversational approach when teaching English.

hi Crissorrir
 I think we use conversationally to describe the way we do something as
Ex. I always teach speaking skill conversationally.
here conversationally is an adverb that describes the way I teach speaking. So if we want to be sure, we have to ask ourselves this question
How do you always teach speaking skill? The answer is Conversationally
 
 But conversational is an adjective, we use it to describe the thing itself as
Ex. conversational speaking skill is an important methed to be used in English classes.
