Hello dear friend!
So, are you interested in spoken English for tourists - phrases and expressions, and maybe whole sentences? Then I’m almost sure that everything is fine and your mood is now “ suitcase". Why? Yes, because only tourists are looking for useful expressions for tourists)).
A few years ago, my friend went to rest in Europe, she thought that she would see all the beauties there, visit, visit the most famous museums ... It didn’t work out - after all, before the trip she didn’t even bother to stock up elementary phrases in English, not to mention picking up a textbook or phrasebook. I thought they would understand her on the fingers and relied on our Russian maybe.
As a result, she spent 2 weeks in the hotel, getting out a couple of times only to the next street for shopping, though, according to her, he didn’t really develop. She admitted that she had never felt so stupid and insecure. Yes, not a very pleasant feeling, I tell you!
To avoid it, it won't hurt you (it won't hurt!) to read this article. It will be divided into 2 parts. In the first part , that is, on this page, you get to know basic English expressions and questions which will definitely come in handy on any foreign trip. All of them will be with translation and pronunciation (audio for each phrase) - you can actually practice them online and without leaving the cash register.
I will give you examples how you can and should respond to phrases spoken to you, give advice, how not to get lost and don't fall on your face when you hear the fluent, unintelligible speech of a foreigner who is also looking at you angrily! In general, we will practice in full!
So let's start with
Basic Rules
- Use words of gratitude. Better to have you say them twice than not say them at all. (These are the words thank you and a little more casual thanks )
- Politeness and once again politeness, for the expression of which use the phrases:
— Please (when asking for something) Tell me, please, where I can find a hairdresser's
— You are welcome (when you respond to gratitude)
— Excuse me (when you want to ask or ask for something) - Excuse me, could you help me with the bus?
— (I'm) sorry (when expressing regret) - If you wish ask permission or ask about the possibility (probability) of something, use the construction Can I.../May I...
?
Can I open the window? (ask for permission)
Can I change my ticket? (asking about the possibility) - If you ask someone for something, use the construct Could you…
?
Could you give me a new towel?
I also want to remind you what vocabulary for tourism you need to know first of all before traveling to an English speaking country. Here is the list of words:
You can find all these words with the correct pronunciation by clicking on the appropriate links.

Let's get down to the phrases themselves, finally! And let's start with the important - emergency or unforeseen situations. Of course, they most likely will not happen to you, but knowing the necessary expressions in such cases will at least make you a little more confident.

Previously, English seemed to be something complicated and confusing)) The desire to learn is getting stronger with each lesson, and English has ceased to seem so incomprehensible)) Thank you very much Irina K for the exciting, understandable and motivating classes in English, and EnglishDom school for the opportunity to study with a wonderful teacher)))
I have been studying at school for 1 month - good results! The teacher does not let you relax. Taking into account my busy schedule, they picked up a convenient training schedule for me.
