Hello everyone!
2
I am Kathy and this is our English teacher, Cliff.
3
Welcome back to Langmaster.
4
We are very happy to be here with you today.
5
How are you, Kathy?
6
Oh, I am a bit nervous, Cliff.
7
I'm going to New York next week.
8
New York?
9
That is amazing.
10
Why are you nervous?
11
Because New York is so big.
12
I'm afraid of getting lost.
13
Getting lost?
14
Don't worry.
15
Do you know any English to ask for directions?
16
Well, I only know where is the station, where is the park, always where is.
17
Oh, I don't know what else to say.
18
Where is is okay, but we have many better ways to ask.
19
Better ways?
20
Like more natural and more polite?
21
Exactly.
22
More natural and more polite.
23
That is why in our podcast today, we will learn about asking and giving directions for beginners.
24
Oh, this is so important.
25
Whether you are a tourist or moving to a new country to live and work, you must know how to ask and give directions.
26
It's not just about English.
27
It's about being confident and independent in a new world.
28
Well said, Kathy.
29
Exactly.
30
I want to walk on the street and feel like I belong there, not like a confused stranger.
31
I am ready to learn.
32
Let's go.
33
OK, Kathy.
34
Let's start with the most important thing, how to ask for directions.
35
The first thing you need is excuse me.
36
Excuse me.
37
That's easy.
38
I use it to start a conversation with other people, right?
39
Perfect.
40
Always start with excuse me to be polite.
41
Now, instead of, where is the station, try, could you tell me the way to the station?
42
This is very formal and perfect for talking to strangers.
43
Could you tell me the way to the station?
44
Wow, that sounds much more professional.
45
It really does.
46
Or if you want to sound more natural, like you were in a bit of a hurry, you can say, hi, I'm looking for the Central Library.
47
I'm looking for...
48
I like that.
49
It sounds like I have a very important mission.
50
What else, Cliff?
51
Well, if you want to check if a place is close to you, ask, Is there a post office near here?
52
This is very useful when you are walking.
53
Is there a post office near here?
54
Ooh, that is a good one.
55
And if you want a clear instruction, just ask, How can I get to the bus stop?
56
It's direct and very clear.
57
How can I get to the bus stop?
58
Got it.
59
So, depending on the situation, I can choose the best way.
60
Exactly.
61
Let's practice the structures one more time.
62
Okay.
63
We have four ways to ask.
64
Could you tell me the way to plus place?
65
I'm looking for plus place.
66
Is there a plus place near here?
67
How can I get to plus place?
68
Excellent summary, Kathy.
69
You are a fast learner.
70
Now, you have asked a great question.
71
But listen carefully.
72
People will start giving you directions.
73
Oh, this is the scary part.
74
My mind usually goes blank when I hear too many words.
75
Don't worry.
76
You just need to catch five basic action verbs.
77
The first one is very common.
78
Go straight ahead.
79
Go straight ahead.
80
That means just keep walking in this direction, right?
81
Exactly.
82
Don't turn, just keep going.
83
The second one is turn left or turn right.
84
Turn left or turn right.
85
I need to be careful to remember which is which.
86
Now this one is very useful.
87
Go past the bank.
88
It means you walk near the bank, but you don't go inside.
89
You keep walking.
90
Oh, go past.
91
So the bank is behind me after that.
92
Got it.
93
Perfect.
94
Next we have cross the road.
95
You move from one side of the street to the other side.
96
Cross the road.
97
Like using the zebra crossing?
98
Yes, exactly.
99
And the last one is a bit long.
100
Take the first turning on the left.
101
This means you walk and at the first corner you turn left.
102
Take the first turning on the left.
103
So if they say second turning, I wait for the next corner.
104
Spot on, Kathy.
105
Let's review.
106
Go straight, turn left or right, go past, cross the road, and take the first turning.
107
Go straight, turn left or right, go past, cross the road, and take the first or second turning.
108
Wow, I feel like a pro now.
109
Having the directions is good, Kathy, but New York is huge.
110
You will want to know if you need to walk for five minutes or five hours.
111
Oh, five hours?
112
My poor feet!
113
Exactly.
114
So let's learn how to ask about distance.
115
Oh, good point.
116
How do I ask about that?
117
Easy.
118
Just ask, is it far from here?
119
Is it far from here?
120
And what will they say?
121
If it's close, they might say, no, it's a five-minute walk.
122
A five-minute walk.
123
Okay, I can do that.
124
Or you can ask, is it a long way?
125
And the answer could be, it's about 10 minutes by car.
126
Ten minutes by car.
127
I like how we can use the vehicle to calculate the distance.
128
So easy to imagine.
129
Right?
130
Sometimes you want to be sure you can walk.
131
Ask, can I walk there?
132
Can I walk there?
133
And they might say, yes, it's just two blocks away.
134
That means you only need to walk past two buildings to get to the destination.
135
Two blocks away.
136
I remember you said people in New York love using the word blocks.
137
Exactly.
138
Now, if you are in a hurry, ask, how long does it take to get there?
139
How long does it take?
140
They will answer, it takes about 15 minutes on foot.
141
15 minutes on foot.
142
Got it.
143
Now, can you summarize what we have just learned?
144
So, I can ask about far, long way, Can I walk?
145
And how long it takes?
146
Great job, Kathy!
147
Now the best part.
148
Let's do a role play.
149
Role play?
150
What is it exactly?
151
It's a very great method to practice English.
152
We create a fake situation to practice real English.
153
Oh, that sounds fun.
154
For example, right now we create a real scenario you'll face in New York so you can react instantly.
155
Oh, I love it.
156
It's like a rehearsal before my big New York trip.
157
Exactly.
158
I am a local New Yorker and you are lost.
159
Go.
160
Okay.
161
Excuse me, I'm looking for the Central Library.
162
Is it far from here?
163
The library?
164
It's quite close, about a five-minute walk.
165
Go straight ahead until you reach the traffic lights, then turn left.
166
Turn left at the traffic lights.
167
Got it.
168
Anything else?
169
Yes.
170
Walk for two blocks and cross the road at the zebra crossing.
171
The library is right next to the bus stop.
172
Thank you so much.
173
You are very kind.
174
You're welcome.
175
See, you did it, Kathy.
176
Wow, that was so natural.
177
I feel ready now.
178
You are.
179
Just remember, start polite, catch the action verbs, and look for landmarks.
180
Wow, what an amazing and useful lesson today.
181
I feel like a professional now, and I'm not afraid of getting lost in New York or any new city anymore.
182
Me too!
183
You have the survival skills now, Kathy.
184

Цели разговорной практики в этом видео

Этот материал идеально подходит для тех, кто хочет улучшить разговорные навыки в повседневных ситуациях — особенно когда нужно спрашивать дорогу. Цель простая, но важная: научиться общаться естественно и уверенно, чтобы не чувствовать себя незнакомцем в новом месте. Это ключевой этап к независимости в английском языке, ведь даже базовые фразы могут изменить ваше восприятие окружающих и ваше самочувствие.

Банк фраз для повседневного использования

  • "Excuse me" — универсальный старт любого разговора, чтобы быть вежливым.
  • "Could you tell me the way to..." — формальная и вежливая форма вопроса о дороге (например, "Could you tell me the way to the station?").
  • "I'm looking for..." — естественная фраза для быстрого общения (например, "I'm looking for the Central Library").

Эти выражения подойдут не только туристам, но и тем, кто живет или работает за границей. Их легко запомнить и использовать в реальной жизни!

Исправляем слабые места: произношение и ритм

Один из самых важных аспектов разговорного английского — правильное произношение и ритм. В видео учат не только слова, но и интонацию, которая делает речь естественной. Например, фраза "Excuse me" должна звучать мягко, а "I'm looking for..." — с легким упором на "looking", чтобы передать срочность. Чтобы улучшить произношение английского, попробуйте технику shadowing: повторяйте за диктором сразу после него, копируя его темп и интонацию. Это поможет развить чувство ритма и сделать речь более плавной. Многие учат английский с YouTube, используя этот метод, и результаты не заставляют себя ждать! Для практики можно использовать специальные shadowing site, где собраны материалы для такого обучения.

Не забывайте: регулярная практика — ключ к успеху. Эти фразы и техника shadowing помогут вам чувствовать себя уверенно в любой ситуации, даже в большом городе, как Нью-Йорке. Продолжайте учиться, повторяйте и вы обязательно достигнете своих целей!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
