Hey guys, welcome to Lingua Marina.

Today's video is about 55 common phrases for different situations in English.

I think that when you start to learn a language, the best way to do it is to start learning phrases that native speakers use.

Because once you master those phrases, you can start using them.

And the faster you're able to talk to people, the faster your progress will be.

So today we're gonna learn very basic phrases that you can start using right away in different conversations with native speakers.

Phrase number one, the most basic is hello.

It's actually one word.

This is how you greet people when you meet them for the first time.

You say hello.

Hello.

Then the next phrase is very basic.

You introduce yourself and you say my name is.

What is your name?

My name is Marina.

What is your name?

This is a very basic phrase when you introduce yourself.

My name is Kent.

What's your name?

Now, I'm pretty sure you knew those phrases, but there is another phrase that is also very useful.

Sometimes you start talking to people and you realize you forgot their name.

So the phrase that you use in this situation is a phrase that sounds like, I'm sorry, I don't remember your name.

You are...

And there you stop, and the person responds with his or her name.

And you are...

When you are in a big company of people, and you came with your friend, you can introduce your friend by saying,

Please meet my imaginary friend.

Name is, I don't know, John.

Please meet John.

Graham, please meet Mr. Anderson.

Or another way to do that is just to say, this is John.

Now, when you've introduced yourself and the other person introduced him or herself as well,

then you can just respond to them by saying, nice to meet you.

Or you can also say, pleased to meet you.

Or you can just say, it's a pleasure.

Now, let's move on to the next situation you are in a foreign city, foreign country, and you're asking for information.

In English, it is not very polite to ask the question directly, like, how do I get to the metro station?

This is a little impolite.

The way you ask that in English is, could you please tell me?

And then you ask a question.

Could you please tell me where is the nearest grocery store?

Excuse me, could you tell me where I could find the manager, please?

Or, can you tell me how I can get to the city center?

Can you tell me?

If you are unsure that the person knows the answer to your question,

you can say, do you know how I can get to the city center from here?

Do you know how to get?

Yeah.

Or another way to say that, do you have any idea how to get to the city center from here?

Do you have any idea?

And the most indirect phrase that you can use is you can say,

I wonder if you could tell me how to get to the city center.

Say ma 'am, I wonder if you could tell me how to get to Gila flats.

Now moving on to the next situation, event small talk.

So basically what happens during big events that are forbidden in most of the states right now, but in some states they're already happening.

You come to meet a lot of people, you see the whole new crowd and you want to start a conversation.

And a small talk, you know, discussing different things, different random things, is a great conversation starter.

Here are a couple of examples.

Example number one, if you like the venue, you can say, what a great place for the event.

And then you start discussing, oh yeah, that was so thoughtful of them to rent this beautiful studio to create this video.

What a great place!

Or you can start a conversation with someone by asking, how did you hear about this event?

So how did you hear about our little secret coffee spot?

And another way to start a conversation with a person that you don't know, you can ask, are you from here?

Especially if you're in a big city with a lot of immigrants.

Are you from here?

Another situation is when you have to interrupt someone.

In English, especially in England, it is considered more polite when you are indirect.

That means you're not saying you, can you tell me that?

You start with yourself.

I am so sorry to interrupt you.

This really softens the interruption.

So the phrase that you can use, sorry to cut in, but I wanted to ask you if you wanted to join me for dinner tonight.

Mind if I cut in?

Using sorry at the beginning really softens this interruption.

Another phrase that you can use, can I just stop you here for a moment?

And then you go and ask a question.

Can I just stop you right there for a second?

The next situation, very common, ordering food at a restaurant.

Here is the set of phrases that you can use while ordering food.

For example, if you look at the menu and you see names that you don't recognize, for example,

Bolognese, you can say, what is Bolognese like? and the waiter would go on and explain you what's inside that pasta.

If you're unsure what to order, you can ask what can you recommend?

And this is the phrase that I always use when I go to restaurants, especially when I go to new restaurants.

I always try to rely on waiter's advice because they work at that place and they know the best.

What can you recommend from the menu?

What do you recommend?

When you're ready to order, you can say could I order the Caesar salad please?

If you want to reorder something, you can say, can I get another orange juice, please?

Can I get another glass of Chardonnay, please?

And in the end, when you want to pay, there's this universal sign where you're kind of signing something in the air.

That means you're asking for a bill.

Otherwise, you can just say a phrase, could I have the bill, please?

That means you're ready to pay.

Sorry, could I have the bill, please?

Now the next situation can be very very scary for English language learners because that situation is a business phone call.

It is a lot easier to talk to people in person because you can see their body language, you can see their emotions,

you can actually read lips if you have confusion about what they're saying.

Telephone is a completely different thing and sometimes it's a nightmare.

100

My first calls in English were like nightmare to me because my palms were sweaty, I was red and I was like

101

because it was really hard to understand the person on the other side of the phone because I couldn't hear them well.

102

There were some noises and I was trying to understand.

103

When people talk to you on the phone for the first time they do not assume

104

that you are a non -native speaker so they maintain their regular tone

105

and speed of voice and you can be left confused by what they said.

106

But there are some phrases that can help you at least to lead the conversation

107

so you don't have to think about what you have to say.

108

If you are calling to set up a meeting you can say

109

I'd like to set up a meeting with you at your earliest convenience.

110

When are you free?

111

If you want to schedule a phone call you can say are you free to talk next week?

112

For example you're scheduling a call with your immigration attorney

113

and you want to make sure that he has enough time to talk to you.

114

Are you free next Thursday? Or

115

if you're making an appointment

116

you can say does Thursday 2 30 p .m work for you does 8 p .m work for you

117

if you are the one who initiated conversation you can start it by saying we are here today to discuss

118

and then you introduce the topic we're here to discuss a business contract

119

or another phrase

120

that you can use is you can say today I would like to outline our plans for

121

and then you discuss the topic the next situation is

122

when you agree with someone there are several phrases that you can use.

123

You can say exactly.

124

So instead of saying yes, oh yes, of course, yes, you're right, use different phrases because otherwise you will be repeating yourself.

125

So you can say exactly as a way to agree with someone.

126

Exactly, exactly my point.

127

Another phrase is absolutely.

128

That means you agree 100%.

129

Absolutely.

130

And the last but not the least, I couldn't agree with you more.

131

It's kind of similar to absolutely.

132

It shows 100 % agreement.

133

Thanks for saying that, Eamon.

134

And I couldn't agree with you more.

135

There are also situations when you disagree with someone and there you can use other phrases.

136

Instead of just saying no, you're not right, uh -uh, use phrases that are more polite.

137

For example, I'm not sure about that.

138

I'm not so sure about that.

139

Or you can say, sorry, but I think you've missed the point.

140

And then you introduce an argument in favor of your opinion.

141

I know the story, Xander.

142

But you missed the point.

143

Or you can just say, I'm afraid, I disagree.

144

This phrase is a little too strong.

145

That means you're like 100 % disagree with that person.

146

Well, I disagree, mom.

147

The next situation, very common for girls and boys who love shopping you're at the store.

148

There are several phrases that you can use.

149

First phrase, very common, when a shopping assistant approaches you and asks what are you looking for and you're just browsing,

150

you can either say I'm just looking around.

151

Oh, I'm just looking, thanks.

152

Or you can say thank you, I don't need any help, I'm just browsing.

153

Oh no, you're just browsing, thank you.

154

Or if you need something particular, you can say yes please, I'm looking for a red dress from a party.

155

I'm looking for a tie.

156

If you want to ask if there is any discount available, you can ask, is this on sale?

157

If there is a discount saying 10%, that means this item is 10 % off.

158

I'm kidding.

159

It's on sale.

160

Another kind of bargain that you can find is called 3 for 2.

161

That means you take three pieces and you only pay for two of them.

162

If you want to see whether something suits you or not, you can ask, can I try this on?

163

And this question is very popular these days

164

because in some countries fitting rooms are closed and you can't actually try things on Can I try it on?

165

If you want a discount you can say can you do me a deal?

166

If you're satisfied with the item

167

You can say great.

168

I'll take it.

169

I'll take it

170

If this item is a gift you can ask to gift wrap it

171

Can you please gift wrap it for me?

172

That means can you wrap it as a gift?

173

Do you think you could gift wrap it for me, please?

174

And at this stage, the salesperson would ask you, how would you like to pay?

175

By cash or by card?

176

And you reply, I would like to pay by cash or I would like to pay by card.

177

How would you like to pay?

178

Credit card.

179

If you have a coupon for the store,

180

maybe you had a magazine with something you could cut out or maybe you found something on the internet,

181

you show this and you can say, can I redeem this?

182

Can I redeem my coupon?

183

Hello, I would like to redeem this coupon.

184

Then another situation, no very pleasant one, is when you are late.

185

There are several phrases that can help you in that situation.

186

I am sorry for being late.

187

You apologize for not being on time.

188

When somebody calls you and asks, where are you?

189

We're already starting everything.

190

You can say, I'll be there in 10 minutes.

191

I'll be there in 15 minutes.

192

If you can't come, then you can say, would it be possible to reschedule our appointment for the next week,

193

for tomorrow, for late afternoon, depending on when you can make it.

194

Would it be possible to reschedule this call, please?

195

When you finally arrive, you can say, thank you for waiting.

196

Thank you for waiting.

197

Or you can say, I am sorry for keeping you waiting.

198

Sorry for keeping you waiting, Ms. Clark.

199

And the last but not the least situation is when you're ending the conversation.

200

I gotta go.

201

Thank you so much for staying here with me today.

202

Yeah, I don't have time to say thank you because I really gotta go.

203

It was really nice chatting with you.

204

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

205

It was real nice chatting with you, Mr. Skoll.

206

When you're in the middle of conversation and you kind of feel it's a little impolite to stop it right now,

207

you can introduce your intent to stop the conversation you can say, I'd better be going.

208

My baby's waiting for me at home.

209

I'd better be going.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
