Hey guys, welcome to Lingua Marina.
2
Today's video is about 55 common phrases for different situations in English.
3
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.
4
Because once you master those phrases, you can start using them.
5
And the faster you're able to talk to people, the faster your progress will be.
6
So today we're gonna learn very basic phrases that you can start using right away in different conversations with native speakers.
7
Phrase number one, the most basic is hello.
8
It's actually one word.
9
This is how you greet people when you meet them for the first time.
10
You say hello.
11
Hello.
12
Then the next phrase is very basic.
13
You introduce yourself and you say my name is.
14
What is your name?
15
My name is Marina.
16
What is your name?
17
This is a very basic phrase when you introduce yourself.
18
My name is Kent.
19
What's your name?
20
Now, I'm pretty sure you knew those phrases, but there is another phrase that is also very useful.
21
Sometimes you start talking to people and you realize you forgot their name.
22
So the phrase that you use in this situation is a phrase that sounds like, I'm sorry, I don't remember your name.
23
You are...
24
And there you stop, and the person responds with his or her name.
25
And you are...
26
When you are in a big company of people, and you came with your friend, you can introduce your friend by saying,
27
Please meet my imaginary friend.
28
Name is, I don't know, John.
29
Please meet John.
30
Graham, please meet Mr. Anderson.
31
Or another way to do that is just to say, this is John.
32
Now, when you've introduced yourself and the other person introduced him or herself as well,
33
then you can just respond to them by saying, nice to meet you.
34
Or you can also say, pleased to meet you.
35
Or you can just say, it's a pleasure.
36
Now, let's move on to the next situation you are in a foreign city, foreign country, and you're asking for information.
37
In English, it is not very polite to ask the question directly, like, how do I get to the metro station?
38
This is a little impolite.
39
The way you ask that in English is, could you please tell me?
40
And then you ask a question.
41
Could you please tell me where is the nearest grocery store?
42
Excuse me, could you tell me where I could find the manager, please?
43
Or, can you tell me how I can get to the city center?
44
Can you tell me?
45
If you are unsure that the person knows the answer to your question,
46
you can say, do you know how I can get to the city center from here?
47
Do you know how to get?
48
Yeah.
49
Or another way to say that, do you have any idea how to get to the city center from here?
50
Do you have any idea?
51
And the most indirect phrase that you can use is you can say,
52
I wonder if you could tell me how to get to the city center.
53
Say ma 'am, I wonder if you could tell me how to get to Gila flats.
54
Now moving on to the next situation, event small talk.
55
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.
56
You come to meet a lot of people, you see the whole new crowd and you want to start a conversation.
57
And a small talk, you know, discussing different things, different random things, is a great conversation starter.
58
Here are a couple of examples.
59
Example number one, if you like the venue, you can say, what a great place for the event.
60
And then you start discussing, oh yeah, that was so thoughtful of them to rent this beautiful studio to create this video.
61
What a great place!
62
Or you can start a conversation with someone by asking, how did you hear about this event?
63
So how did you hear about our little secret coffee spot?
64
And another way to start a conversation with a person that you don't know, you can ask, are you from here?
65
Especially if you're in a big city with a lot of immigrants.
66
Are you from here?
67
Another situation is when you have to interrupt someone.
68
In English, especially in England, it is considered more polite when you are indirect.
69
That means you're not saying you, can you tell me that?
70
You start with yourself.
71
I am so sorry to interrupt you.
72
This really softens the interruption.
73
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.
74
Mind if I cut in?
75
Using sorry at the beginning really softens this interruption.
76
Another phrase that you can use, can I just stop you here for a moment?
77
And then you go and ask a question.
78
Can I just stop you right there for a second?
79
The next situation, very common, ordering food at a restaurant.
80
Here is the set of phrases that you can use while ordering food.
81
For example, if you look at the menu and you see names that you don't recognize, for example,
82
Bolognese, you can say, what is Bolognese like? and the waiter would go on and explain you what's inside that pasta.
83
If you're unsure what to order, you can ask what can you recommend?
84
And this is the phrase that I always use when I go to restaurants, especially when I go to new restaurants.
85
I always try to rely on waiter's advice because they work at that place and they know the best.
86
What can you recommend from the menu?
87
What do you recommend?
88
When you're ready to order, you can say could I order the Caesar salad please?
89
If you want to reorder something, you can say, can I get another orange juice, please?
90
Can I get another glass of Chardonnay, please?
91
And in the end, when you want to pay, there's this universal sign where you're kind of signing something in the air.
92
That means you're asking for a bill.
93
Otherwise, you can just say a phrase, could I have the bill, please?
94
That means you're ready to pay.
95
Sorry, could I have the bill, please?
96
Now the next situation can be very very scary for English language learners because that situation is a business phone call.
97
It is a lot easier to talk to people in person because you can see their body language, you can see their emotions,
98
you can actually read lips if you have confusion about what they're saying.
99
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.
210

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
