Today you'll learn the exact English you need to shop, ask prices, and bargain politely anywhere in the world.
3
This video is part of my 3,000 most common English word
4
series designed to help you understand up to 95% of spoken English.
5
To ask for the price.
6
Receipt.
7
The third scenario.
8
Do you like shopping?
9
That's a bit expensive.
10
Let's get started.
11
You'll learn useful shopping phrases, common mistakes, pronunciation for tricky words, and at the end you'll have a chance to shadow and speak.
12
And to make sure you remember everything, there will be a small quiz at the end, so make sure you watch the whole video.
13
Okay, so now we're in the market where they're selling a lot of things.
14
You think most of this is real or counterfeit?
15
100% genuine items in this market.
16
You think those are real Rolexes?
17
I think I I can get myself a Rolex here.
18
You think so?
19
Oh, I'm good, I got one.
20
So this is a pretty common market, eh?
21
This is like what an average open-air market in Asia looks like.
22
Like a lot of goods, leather goods.
23
I'd say so.
24
But most of the products are counterfeit.
25
They're not actually authentic.
26
That's why they're just so cheap, so.
27
Don't come here expecting to buy real Gucci because if you think that, you'd probably get ripped off, honestly.
28
Okay, so this is the first store we're in.
29
We walked through the peddling street there, but it's super, super busy, and a lot of this stuff I would never buy, but I would like to buy some dried fruit.
30
Let's see what they have.
31
Like you see along there, they have a lot of dried fruit.
32
Ooh, dried kiwi.
33
Have you ever had dried kiwi?
34
Never.
35
Sounds good though.
36
Yeah.
37
I think my favorite type of shopping is shopping for snacks or food.
38
What about you?
39
What's your favorite type of things to buy?
40
I think you know the answer.
41
Food.
42
And like expensive electronics.
43
Yeah they have the dubai chocolate here oh dude they got the gummies on
44
that side hmm ooh plums lemon slices dried guava ginger cube
45
prosperity plum golden fruit how much is this though it says 25 percent off
46
but off what probably on the package oh it's by weight
47
so everyone's a little different oh this one's 15 15 rm for some dried mango is
48
that a good deal uh 10 is like five dollars five dollars.
49
But how heavy is it?
50
200 grams.
51
Yeah, usually paid a hundred baht for like 50 grams.
52
200 grams.
53
Yeah, I feel like this is a good deal.
54
I'm gonna get this dried mango.
55
I love, love dried mango.
56
It's so good, but I like when they don't put any sugar on it
57
and it looks like this one has no sugar.
58
This might be a good one.
59
Low-key dried kiwi though?
60
I think it'd be too sweet.
61
This is so weird.
62
Have you ever seen dried kiwi, dude?
63
It looks so weird.
64
No way, that's the natural color.
65
I want to try one of these small ones just to see what it tastes like.
66
What?
67
Yeah, I'm gonna get, I'm gonna go check out at the checkout counter.
68
So once you buy something, you have to go to the counter and check out.
69
And that's just where you pay.
70
So I'm gonna go pay, and then we'll try these after.
71
3000. That is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95% of spoken English.
72
That is why I made the 3000 most common English words textbook with clear definitions,
73
real example sentences, and simple organization by topic and CEFR level.
74
So you know exactly what to study next.
75
And now if you want to learn even more, I've added the next 2,000 most common English words.
76
So you can get the full 5,000 most common English words textbook to understand up to 98% of spoken English.
77
This will help you to know exactly what to study and really advance your English vocabulary and level.
78
You can get it at the link in my description or at VolkaEnglish.com.
79
Okay, so today we're going to be talking about shopping and bargaining basics.
80
First, a question for you guys.
81
Do you like shopping?
82
And what do you like shopping for?
83
Do you like shopping for For food, for clothes, for jewelry, or for experiences.
84
What do you like shopping for?
85
Say it out loud.
86
For example, I like shopping for food.
87
I really like food.
88
When I go to a new country, I'm always excited to try the new and unique foods.
89
I also like shopping for snacks and other souvenirs when I'm in a new country.
90
I try not to buy too many souvenirs.
91
Usually I just buy a small keychain or a bracelet.
92
But my favorite things to buy are usually food,
93
snacks and packaged goods because I can eat them and I don't have to carry them with me
94
unless I'm going to give them to my family back home.
95
Then I can't eat them.
96
These are some very common and important words to know when shopping.
97
Price, cheap, expensive, discount, deal,
98
cash, card, size, color, try on, fit, and receipt.
99
Those are some important words you should try to remember.
100
Now, when you go up to someone and you want to buy something, it's important to first ask for the price.
101
There are five steps we'll go through, but the first step is to ask for the price.
102
A few ways to ask that are, how much is this?
103
How much for this one?
104
Or simply, what's the price?
105
What I tend to say most often is, how much does this cost?
106
In a previous video, we learned how to speak politely.
107
So if you wanted to speak politely while asking for the price, you can say, excuse me, how much does this cost?
108
Thank you.
109
The second step is to react politely.
110
In some places and stores, it is normal to bargain.
111
However, in other stores such as Uniqlo, H&M, and other big fashion retailers,
112
you don't negotiate or bargain for the price.
113
You simply pay the price on the tag.
114
However, if you're shopping in a flea market or just a regular market, it is sometimes normal to bargain.
115
Bargain just means to ask for a lower price.
116
So some polite ways to react to the price if you are bargaining is that's a bit expensive.
117
That's too expensive for me.
118
And finally, do you have a discount?
119
The third step is to give them an offer.
120
For example, can you do 30?
121
How about 25?
122
would you take 20?
123
I find myself most often saying would you take and then the price would you take 100 would you take 50?
124
Step four is to meet in the middle and negotiate a price you are both happy with.
125
For example sentences you can use are what's your best price?
126
Can you do a little better.
127
And the fifth and final step is to close or exit politely.
128
Some example sentences you can use are, okay, I'll take it, or deal.
129
And if you don't want to buy it, you can say, no worries, thank you, maybe later.
130
Okay guys, now let's have real speaking practice.
131
There will be three dialogues.
132
For the first one, I will ask and Leon will answer.
133
For the second one, I will ask you and you will read the yellow caption on the bottom of the screen.
134
That is your dialogue.
135
So let's start.
136
Hi, how much is this?
137
It's 60.
138
Okay, that's a bit expensive.
139
Do you have a discount?
140
I can do 55.
141
Hmm.
142
Can you do 40?
143
No, 40 is too low.
144
I can do 50.
145
What is your best price?
146
Okay, best price is 48.
147
You know, I really want to buy this for my mom.
148
So, you know what?
149
Deal.
150
I'll take it.
151
That was the first dialogue and now I want you to read the yellow caption on the bottom the bottom.
152
That is your dialogue.
153
Are you guys ready?
154
Let's go.
155
It's 80.
156
50 is a little low.
157
I can do 70.
158
okay i can do 65 okay 60 sounds good let's do
159
that now time for the third scenario you guys go ahead
160
and read the yellow it's a hundred dollars sorry the lowest i can do is 90
161
No problem.
162
Have a nice day.
163
Let me know if you guys liked that shadowing practice.
164
If you liked it, I'll include more of them in my future videos for a longer length of time.
165
Also, let me know if you want videos that are exactly like that, where I ask you a question and then you have a dialogue you need to read.
166
So now let's talk about some common mistakes.
167
The first one is how much versus how many.
168
For price, price is how much.
169
How many is for counting.
170
So when you go to ask the price for something, you would say, how much is that jacket?
171
You would not say, how many is that jacket?
172
That does not make sense.
173
You need to say, how much is that jacket or that item that you want to buy.
174
The second most common mistake is give me a discount.
175
This sentence is technically correct.
176
However, it comes off a bit rude, kind of like you are demanding a discount.
177
And this will most likely make the person selling you the
178
item not want to give you a discount since you sound rude.
179
So don't say, give me a discount.
180
Give me, give me.
181
Don't say that.
182
Instead, say this.
183
Do you have any discounts?
184
Or if I buy multiple items, can I have a discount?
185
Give me is very demanding and it sounds like you are entitled.
186
The next is too expensive and so expensive.
187
Too expensive means more than you want to pay.
188
That jacket is too expensive.
189
It's more than I want to pay.
190
So expensive means it's just very expensive.
191
That jacket is so expensive.
192
So it doesn't mean you don't want to buy it.
193
It just means it's very expensive.
194
That jacket is so expensive, but I really wanted it, so I bought it.
195
If you said that jacket is too expensive, it's kind of not worth it for you to buy that jacket.
196
Don't just watch the lesson once and forget it
197
if you actually want to remember what you learn then complete
198
the workbook i created for this video it helps you practice
199
the key vocabulary meaning sentence building pronunciation shadowing speaking writing
200
and everything you learned from this lesson
201
and now instead of buying the workbooks individually you can get
202
the complete study pack of over 100 workbooks at the link in my description or at VolcaEnglish.com.
203
Now let's practice the pronunciation of some difficult words.
204
The first word is discount, discount, Discount.
205
Discount.
206
The second word is expensive.
207
Expensive.
208
Expensive.
209
The third word is bargain.
210
Bargain.
211
Bargain.
212
Bargain.
213
And the final word is receipt.
214
Receipt.
215
Receipt.
216
One final question for you guys.
217
Do you enjoy shopping?
218
Do you enjoy shopping?
219
Me personally, like I said in the beginning of the video, I love shopping for food and different snacks.
220
And also I like going out and buying food when I'm in a new country just to try the food.
221
However, I really, really, really, really, really, really do not like, even hate shopping for clothes and things like that.
222
I find it boring.
223
I like to just have clothes and not need to go and actually find it.
224
So even though I need clothes sometimes and I'm thinking, okay, I'm going to go shopping.
225
I go and 10 minutes later, I'm done.
226
I'm done.
227
I don't want to be shopping anymore.
228
So I don't like shopping for clothes or anything else besides food because I personally don't find it very interesting.
229
What about you guys?
230
Do you enjoy shopping?
231
And what do you enjoy shopping for?
232
I have a lot of friends that love going to Walmart
233
or Target and they love to just walk around and buy little random things.
234
And in my head I'm like that feels like a waste of time to me.
235
I could be doing so many things instead of just walking around a store.
236
To me waste of time and money but if you enjoy it you can do whatever you want.
237
You're not hurting anyone so it's okay but that's how I feel about it.
238
I don't enjoy shopping unless it's for food.
239
Now to summarize everything we've learned let's have a small quiz.
240
The first question is how can you ask for the price of something.
241
There are many ways but one of my favorite is how much is this or how much does this cost.
242
Second question, how can you ask for a discount politely?
243
I do not recommend saying give me a discount it sounds
244
rude you can say are there any discounts can I have a discount or do you have a discount.
245
Last question, how can you exit politely after not wanting to buy something?
246
You can say no worries, thank you, maybe later.
247
If you like this type of video with a more structured lesson, let me know in the comments.
248
I'll see you guys next video.
249
Bye bye.
250
Real or counterfeit?
251
100% pretty common market, eh?
252
If you think that you'd probably get ripped off.
253
But I would like to buy some dried fruit.
254
Let's see what they have.
255
Food.
256
Oh, it's by weight, so everyone's a little different.
257
No way, that's the natural color.
258
I want to try shopping for snacks.
259
And ask for the price.
260
There are and other big fashion retailers, you don't.
261
Fifth and final step is to close.
262
So now let's talk about some common mistakes.
263
It's very expensive.
264
That jacket is so expensive.
265
just to try the food, doing so many things instead of just walking around a store.
266
Yo, what are you working on?
267
Yo, I'm working on my channel right now.
268
I just started, I'm gonna be posting once a week if you guys wanna check it out.
269

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
