the beach hi everybody welcome back to
top words my name is Alisha and today
we’re gonna be talking about 20 travel
phrases that you should know so let’s go
do you have any recommendations the
first phrase is do you have any
recommendations this is great to use
when you get to a restaurant where you
don’t know what the food is you don’t
know anything about the local cuisine or
you’re just feeling a little bit
adventurous you can ask the waitstaff do
you have any recommendations how much is
this how much is this this is useful
when you’re out shopping or when you’re
in a restaurant and the price is not
clearly marked or something is not clear
to you so you can ask how much is this
usually when you point to something I
would recommend like pointing to the
menu are pointing to an item how much is
this
I’d like this you can point to something
and say I’d like this if you want to say
I’d like one for example I don’t know
you’re getting beer I’d like one of
these if however you’re in a situation
where you can’t point you can say I’d
like ten of the blah blah blah
I’d like ten of blue t-shirts please can
I try this on is useful when you’re
shopping for clothes so you find
something that you’d like to try just
ask the staff can I try this on you can
just say I want to try this on if you
like do you speak English you might get
asked this phrase so you should say if
you’re watching this video you should
probably say yes or you can say yes a
little if you’re not feeling very
confident if you’re watching this video
and you’re understanding this part and
you say no then things that’s a little
strange I have a reservation
usually the staff will greet you and you
can say I have a reservation hello I
have a reservation it’s at seven o’clock
the name is Alisha usually we say the
name is or it’s under meaning the
reservation is under my name or it’s for
name or it’s in name water please
depending on which country are from
water may or
may not automatically be brought to your
table when you’re in a restaurant if you
would like more water however you can
say water please to make it a little
more polite
I would like wave at the waitstaff and
say could I please have some more water
do you take credit cards do you take
credit cards in case you’re not sure if
the shop that you’re in will accept
credit cards or debit cards you can ask
them do you take credit cards
it’s so it doesn’t mean do you take
meaning are you going to take my card
but this take means do you accept credit
cards this isn’t what I ordered so if
you’re at a restaurant you order steak
and you get lobster instead you can look
at it and go uh this isn’t what I
ordered
be careful though saying this politely
if you look at the waitstaff and you say
this isn’t what I ordered
they’re gonna be like I don’t know just
be a nice customer excuse me but I don’t
think this is what I ordered or this
isn’t what I ordered
can you please check could we have the
menu please if for some reason you don’t
receive a menu when you come to the
table you can again just wave it a
member of the staff and say could we
have the menu please could you give me a
discount could you give me a discount
means I would like a cheaper price
essentially it depends on which country
you’re in if haggling or bargaining
meaning talking to the seller to try to
reduce the price and my family didn’t
bargain we didn’t haggle so I don’t
haggle it depends on you and your
culture but just yeah just be be aware
of the culture that you’re in and the
place that you’re in before you ask this
question do you have any vegetarian
dishes
ah this is useful some people have
specific eating requirements or eating
needs maybe food allergies for example
you can replace vegetarian with the
specific dietary requirement that you
have do you have any vegan dishes do you
have any gluten-free dishes do you have
any low-fat dishes do you have any
low-carb dishes do you have any fish
free dishes do you have any could you
take a picture of me please if you are
in a location where you would like to
take a picture but you don’t want to do
a selfie or you don’t have a selfie
stick or whatever you
someone else to take a picture of you a
stranger that you don’t know you can ask
them could you take a picture of me
please or excuse me would you mind
taking a picture of me please I’m
allergic to blah blah blah if you have a
food allergy or even an allergy to a
medicine this is the phrase you can use
to explain that I’m allergic to wheat or
I can’t eat wheat for example is the
Wi-Fi free meaning can I use the Wi-Fi
free of charge
keep in mind some places have a password
that you have to ask the staff for so
you can say is the Wi-Fi free if they
say yes you can then follow that up with
can I have the password I’d like to have
a non-smoking seat please so when you go
to a restaurant you have an option
between smoking and non-smoking sections
the staff will say smoking or
non-smoking you can say I’d like to have
a non-smoking seat please quite honestly
though the most natural response is just
to say non-smoking could I get a map
maybe it’s a map of the subway system
for the city that you’re in or maybe
it’s a map of the area around your hotel
you could say could I have a map as well
could I have the check you’re finished
it’s your cafe you’re finished at the
restaurant and it’s time to leave it’s
time to pay so you say to the waitstaff
excuse me could I have the check another
more common expression perhaps is excuse
me check please
you might also hear bill excuse me can I
have the bill where is the bathroom very
important question if you’re traveling
in America we don’t really use the word
toilet or washroom very much we use
bathroom or restroom to talk about
toilet facilities excuse me can you tell
me where the bathroom is or excuse me
I’m looking for the bathroom or I’m
looking for the restroom is this the
train for blah blah blah or is this the
train that goes to blah blah blah to
confirm with someone that I’m indeed on
the correct train line if I say is this
the train bound for San Francisco you
can use that to check if you’re correct
so that’s the end those are 20 travel
phrases that you can use when you’re
traveling in an english-speaking country
give them a try I hope that
go well for you of course there are many
different variations on these themes so
be sure to experiment a little bit
thanks very much for watching this
episode of top words and we will see you
again soon bye the things that I do
before I travel to a country where I
cannot speak the language I actually
learned numbers ok beam hi everybody
welcome back to top words my name is
Alisha and today we’re gonna be talking
about the top 10 ways to prepare for
travel so let’s go choose your
destination the first step is to choose
your destination destination is the
place you want to go so of course choose
your destination to begin your travels
in a sentence if you choose your
destination based only on price you
might be disappointed by a guidebook the
next expression is buy a guidebook or
maybe download a guidebook at this point
buy a guidebook so once you have chosen
your destination you can buy a guidebook
for your destination which will give you
tips about what to do there in a
sentence I bought my guidebook on the
internet and it was great you can buy a
guidebook at a used bookstore for Less
save money phrase for travel is save
money so once you have chosen your
destination and bought a guidebook you
need to save money if you haven’t saved
money already so travel can be expensive
you need to save money for your actual
transportation as well as for the things
you plan to do in your destination
so in a sentence I’m trying to save
money for a trip to Europe next year
saving money is hard but it’s worth it
when you’re on the trip booked a flight
the next step is to book a flight
so you’ve saved your money you’ve chosen
your destination you’ve bought the
guidebook now you need to book your
flight so to book means to reserve it’s
the same as in like book a restaurant
for example a book a hotel book a flight
so in a sentence I booked my flight for
my vacation last week research the costs
research the costs well I hope you do
this before you book your flight
but you research the costs of where
you’re going to go how much does it cost
to eat there how much does
transportation cost
they’re how much our sightseeing
attractions going to cost they’re those
kinds of things so you need to research
the costs for your trip in a sentence
I’ve researched the cost for my upcoming
vacation in Europe and it seems pretty
reasonable request vacation time the
next step is to request vacation time or
to request time off or to ask for time
off so at your job if you need to take
time away from your job to go traveling
somewhere you need to request vacation
time in a sentence I’m going to request
vacation time next week and I feel a
little bit nervous booked accommodations
the next expression is booked
accommodations or just booked a hotel or
booked a hostel something like that
booked in air B&B as well is fine so
this means to reserve the place you are
going to stay in your destination let’s
see in a sentence I booked my hotel on
the internet obtained an international
driving license the next one for some of
you perhaps if you are just you really
want to do all of the things you can
obtain an international driving license
so maybe if you really really really
want to be able to drive a car in your
destination you can get a driver’s
license permission to drive a car in the
country of your destination so in a
sentence I’m taking the test for my
international driver’s license next week
I hope I passed pack the next one is the
verb pack so to pack pack means to put
things in a suitcase or to put things in
a box this motion of putting things in
something else for the purpose of taking
them elsewhere is packing we do it when
we move to a new house or when we travel
in a sentence I need to pack for my trip
next week get a visa the next expression
is get a visa so in some countries you
need to get a visa before you go to the
country even if you’re just there as a
tourist you need to get a visa special
permission to be in that country
sometimes you have to pay money for it
so you need to research this before you
travel in a sentence I got my visa when
I arrived
in Australia alright so those are ten
phrases that you can use as you prepare
to travel I hope you enjoyed and I hope
that you can use these the next time you
plan to travel somewhere thanks very

napkin waiter waiter a waiter is someone
who takes your order and brings you food
in America and in many other Western

waiter might say yes and if you don’t
want it you could always request could
you leave out the onions could you
prepare it without the onions please can

actually something that’s very common
especially in America if you might go
out with a group of friends or even if
you’re on a date sometimes you might
want to get separate checks pay for your
own things that way you can all pay
separately just for what you yourself
ordered and you won’t have to worry
about owing each other money or
calculating off a big huge bill are
there any specials today are there any
specials today a special at a restaurant
is a dish that isn’t usually on the menu
it’s something that’s special but it’s a
special that the chef is offering that
day or that week or that month so
sometimes if you don’t see what the
specials are you’d ask your waiter
excuse me are there any specials today
could we have the bill please
could we have the bill please this is
how you request that the cheque or the

that was interesting in a sentence
American restaurants usually give you a
glass of water without having to ask
dessert the next word is desserts
dessert is the sweet stuff the sweet of
course all the sweet foods that come
after the main part of the meal in a
sentence can we see the dessert menu
chef chef chef is the leader of the
kitchen the person that is cooking the
food in fancy restaurants the chef is
like the the one who is running the
operation the manager of everything
there are different levels of chef in
the kitchen in a sentence you could say
please give my compliments to the chef
fast food the next word is fast food
fast food is anything that’s quick
popular examples in America or
McDonald’s Burger King Subway Taco Bell
Kentucky Fried Chicken jack-in-the-box
so those are all fast-food restaurants
you get in and you get out very very
quickly they don’t have a reputation for
being very healthy in a sentence I try
to eat fast food as rarely as possible
bill the next word is bill you might
also hear check bill and check mean the
total of your meal how much your dining
experience cost you is the bill or the

confirms you have paid
the bill is the request for money that’s
the difference between bill or cheque

can I have the bill please
or can I have the check please delicious
delicious delicious means something that
tastes good we have many variations on
delicious we say delicious good YUM
yummy fantastic great and so on it’s
kind of strange to me to say this is
delicious I usually just say this is
good or this is really good something
like that is a bit more natural than
delicious in a sentence my dinner today
was delicious main course main course
it’s often like a meat dish actually
like like roast something or I don’t
know it’s also called the entree maybe
it’s a really fancy pasta dish in some
cases I don’t know in a sentence for the

zucchini and curry that’s the end so

wrong saying hello hello can be used at
any time of the day no matter whether
it’s morning or at night or at
where I am when you see someone you can
say hello and it will still be
appropriate long time no see long time
no see
it’s not necessarily grammatically
correct but it’s a saying that we have
hey long time no see what it means is
that you haven’t seen that person in a
long time so it literally means long
time no see long time no see is
something you say to someone when you
haven’t seen them in a while hey John
long time no see how are the wife and
kids
how have you been hey how have you been
I haven’t seen you in a long time
how have you been is asking someone how
they’re doing and how they’ve been for
the past however long if you haven’t
seen them in a while
you might say hey long time no see how
have you been how have you been that’s
past tense it implies that you haven’t
seen them in a while and you want to
hear about how they are and how they’ve
been for all of that time that you
haven’t seen them Hey long time no see
how have you been how are you how are
you means how are you doing how are you
feeling how is everything
it’s a standard thing that you might say
to anyone even if you’ve seen them the
day before you might see them today and
say hey how are you how is it going hey
how’s it going how is it going is a more
informal way to say how are you so how
are you and how’s it going they mean the
same thing it’s asking how you’re doing
how you are feeling is everything okay
with you
what’s up what’s up is another way of
saying hey how is it going but this one
is even more informal so you might say
this to friends hey what’s up and
they’ll say nothing just living my life
you know day in and day
hey what’s up hey what’s up good
afternoon good afternoon how are you
would you like some lunch good afternoon
is a polite way to greet someone in the
afternoon so if you run into your boss
you might say good afternoon it’s very
nice it’s polite not a lot of people say
it to their friends but it’s it’s a
polite way to greet someone good evening
good evening is a nice way to greet
someone in the evening time you can only
use this phrase in the evening because
it’s wishing someone a good evening it’s
saying hello at a certain time of day
good evening would you like some dinner
good evening have you eaten yet all of
my examples involve food it seems it’s

hi everybody my name is Alisha and
welcome back to tough words
today’s topic is ten lines you need for
introducing yourself so let’s go hello
it’s nice to meet you hello it’s nice to
meet you you can only use this the first
time that you meet someone if you say
this to somebody after you have met them
already you’re going to see them either
a like you’ve completely forgotten
meeting them or be like you are a very
strange person for saying it’s nice to
meet you again so when you use this the
first time you can shake hands with
someone and say hello it’s nice to meet
you my name is the next phrase is my
name is blah blah in my case my name is
Alicia you can use this again when
you’re introducing yourself or if you
need to reintroduce yourself you can use
this pattern when you meet somebody at a
party for example you can say my name is
blah blah blah my name is Barbara my
name is Stephens you can shorten this
you can say my names my name is blah
blah blah I’m from after you’ve said
your name after you’ve shaken hands you
can say I’m from the US I’m from Japan
I’m from Turkey I’m from here
mom’s house I’m from I’m from a cave in
southern Europe I’m from your country or
I’m from your city I’m from the future I
live in I live in blah blah blah you can
use your city you can use your country
you can use even maybe if you live near
a certain station you can use the name
of the station where you live so for
example I live in America it’s fine I
live in Los Angeles it’s fine I live in
New York it’s fine so your neighborhood
is fine if someone says where do you
live and you say I live in an apartment
it’s like what so please use your the
region or the location where you live
not the type of place where you live
i’ma if you hear the question what do
you do it it’s asking about your job in
English people don’t say what is your
job that’s not the question that we ask
instead the question is what do you do
and the correct response to that is I’m
a or I’m n blah blah blah followed by
your job title so if someone says what
do you do you can say I’m a teacher what
do you do I’m an engineer what do you do
I’m donut shop tester
I’m years old when someone asks how old
are you you can say I’m blah blah blah
years old
don’t forget the S at the end of this if
you like you can shorten this phrase to
just I’m plus your age so I’m 65 I’m 13
whatever I’m this many sometimes
children will say that how old are you
they’ll say I’m this many it’s kind of
cute
first time you meet someone you might
not ask how old are you if it’s in a
friendly case like a party after you’ve
spoken to the person a little bit it’s
okay but just try to be sensitive to the
context try to be sensitive to the
people around you and if you sense that
maybe there’s a very large age gap
between you it might be better just not
to ask the question at all I enjoy many
of my students say what is your hobby
but that’s not something that native
speakers will say no native speakers say
what is your hobby in
said we asked what do you like to do or
what do you do in your free time this is
a much more natural question than what’s
your hobby the answer to this then is I
enjoy or I like plus a noun phrase so
for example what do you like to do I
like listening to music or I enjoy
listening to music what are you do in
your free time I like watching movies
what are you do in your free time I like
baking cakes what do you do in your free
time I enjoy tap-dancing what do you do
in your free time
I enjoy making new friends oh one of my
hobbies is one of my hobbies is blah
blah blah with this one it’s probably
better to use a short easily or easy to
understand hobby if you’re explaining a
hobby people are gonna expect that it’s
gonna be something that they know about
like photography or cooking or dancing
or swimming or whatever so try to pick
something that will allow you to
continue the conversation that’s why
movies or cooking or books or you know
sports are a good thing to share one of
my hobbies is it snowboarding I’ve been
learning English for if you are learning
English if you’re studying English you
can use this expression if someone asks
you how long have you been studying
English you can say I’ve been studying
English for amount of time or I’ve been
learning English or I’ve been practicing
English or I’ve been speaking English
for a certain amount of time I’ve been
studying English since elementary school
is also okay to use I’ve been studying
English since I was in college just be
careful for is used for a length of time
and since is used for a specific point
in time at which you started something
so if you can try and mix it up and use
a few different expressions there so
I’ve been learning English for a long
time I’m still learning English you
should do that okay I’m learning English
at English class 101.com this probably
could be used in response to where did
you learn English or where are you
studying English or how are you studying
English you can respond with I’m
learning English at English class
101.com
or I’m learning English at my school I’m
learning English at my private teachers
house
for example so a little bit of grammar
in this sentence why do we use the
progressive tense I’m learning English
if you say I’m learning it sounds like
you’re still continuing your studies if
you say I learned English in English
class 101.com it sounds like you’re
finished like you you’re finished
studying there’s nothing else for you to
study so you’re done so it’s it’s much
much more natural to actually use the
progressive I’m learning or I’m studying
when you’re talking about your studies
when you’re talking about your hobbies
than it is to say I learned or I studied
and and and and so those were 10 lines
that you need to introduce yourself and
to help give the other person a little
bit of information and carry the
conversation forward so please try them
please go crazy with them make them your
own thanks very much for joining us for
this episode of top words and we’ll see
you again soon bye
I’m from your neighbor’s dog house fish
glub glub oh yes I’d like to go
spelunking in North Africa hi everybody
welcome back to top words my name is
Alisha and today we’re gonna be talking
about ten different phrases that you can
use to respond to the question how are
you so let’s go I’m great the first
phrase is I’m great if someone says how
are you you can say I’m great try to say
I’m great with a kind of an upbeat voice
so something you’re like how are you I’m
great I’m feeling bad I’m feeling bad if
you say I’m feeling bad the other person
is probably if they’re a friend of yours
or a co-worker going to ask you why what
happened so if you want to use I’m
feeling bad make sure you have an
explanation ready
anyway somebody says how are you and you
go I’m feeling bad maybe I went out for
drinks last night with my coworkers oops
I’m okay I’m okay I feel like this is
one of those intonation practice ones
I’m okay with that
ah I’m okay it’s like sort of upward
intonation you’re like cool but if
someone says how are you and you’re like
I’m okay they’re like oh no what
happened so you can use your intonation
with I’m okay to make it a good thing or
another good thing but either way it’s
not like a very 60
serious response thank you for asking
yeah I imagine this would be in a more
formal situation like if my friend said
to me how are you and I was like thank
you for asking they’d be like what I
would say
I’m fine or I’m doing well I’m doing
great plus thank you for asking so if
today how are you I’m doing very well
thank you
mmm oh that’s how I would use it and you
the next one is and you liked the least
natural response to how are you is I’m
fine thank you and you like just get out
of put just take it out of your head
nobody says that I always say how about
you that’s a much more natural thing how
are you how are you how are you can be a
response again after you have given your
answer to the question how are you I’m
great how are you how are you I’m good
how are you
I’m great how are you I’m okay how are
you how have you been recently how have
you been recently this is only useful if
you haven’t seen the other person for a
while I’m not bad I’m not bad I’m not
bad how are you I’m not bad no I’m not
bad hmm
things could be worse I would probably
do this I’m sleepy the next expression
is I’m sleepy hey it’s like so specific
if someone said how are you I would
probably say I’m okay but I’m a little
sleepy I don’t know that I would just
say I’m sleepy unless it’s a really good
friend of mine it’s a person close to
you you can say I’m so tired I’m I would
say I’m super tired or I’m really tired
and I feel like that’s a little bit more
natural than just I’m sleepy
I’m good one that I use a lot if someone
says how are you I say I’m good that’s
just probably my go-to response yeah I’m
good I’m good maybe I’ll repeat it while
smiling I’m good I’m good yeah thanks
for asking that is the end those are ten
phrases that you can use to respond to
the question how are you if there’s one
takeaway from this and from other things
that we’ve done over the last few years
in this channel just get rid of that I’m
fine thank you and you and pick one of
these that we’ve talked about today
of course if there
another expression that you use for a
response to how are you I’d be very
interested to learn about that but in
general you’re pretty safe if you stick
with these I think so thanks very much
for watching this episode of top words
and we will see you again soon bye
noise hi everyone I’m Bridget and
welcome to today’s lesson the topic for
this lesson is ten phrases to survive at
the station let’s get started I’d like
to go to I’d like to go to I’d like to
go to this hotel when you tell someone
I’d like to go to this town the person
selling you a ticket will be able to
tell you which train you need to take to
get there I’d like to go to means this
is the destination I want how do I get
there is this the right platform for is
this the right platform for is this the
right platform for the train to
Greenwich a platform is where you wait
for a train to pull up so if you’re on a
platform and you aren’t sure if you’re
on the right one for the train you need
you might ask someone else who’s
standing there excuse me is this the
right platform for the train to
Greenwich and they will tell you if
you’re in the right place what time is
the last train what time is the last
train to San Francisco
you might ask someone what time is the
last train depending on which city are
in the last train of a day might be at
maybe 10:00 p.m. for example you’re
going to want to make sure you get to
the station to get that last train where
do I change for where do I change for
where do I change for the Express train
when you’re taking a train sometimes you
might need to do a transfer at a
particular station this means if you’re
on one train you might have to get off
at a certain train station and wait for
another train that’ll take you all the
of the way to where you need to go
asking where do I change for the Express
train you’re asking at what station do I
need to get out off the train and wait
for the correct train where can I buy a
ticket where can I buy a ticket where
can I buy a ticket in town you should
ask where to buy a ticket so you know
whether you need to purchase your ticket
on the train itself or if you need to go
up to a kiosk and buy your ticket there
it’s always important to know ahead of
time where to buy your ticket because
you don’t want to get on a train and
find out you were supposed to buy your
ticket at the station how much is it -
how much is it - how much is it to the
airport
you might ask this question to find out
how much it costs to take a train or a
bus or a taxi to where you need to go if
you get into a taxi for example and you
ask how much is it to the airport the
taxi driver will tell you $30 he’ll tell
you the price you need to pay to get to
the airport if you’re taking a train you
might ask the ticket seller how much is
it to the airport and the ticket seller
will tell you the train to the airport
costs $10 for example that way you know
how much it costs to go to where you
need to be does this bus go - does this
bus go - does this bus go to the suburbs
does this bus go to is a way of asking
whether or not the bus that you’re
looking at has the destination that you
need so you might get on the bus and ask
the bus driver does this bus go to the
suburbs whatever destination and the bus
driver will answer and tell you yes get
on or no you want a different bus what
time is the next bus what time is the
next bus what time will the next bus
arrive by asking what time is the next
bus you’re asking when the bus is going
come to the bus stop or whatever station
the bus will stop at this way you know
what time you need to be at that bus
stop the train is running late the train
is running late the train is running
late again this is something I say all
the time in New York City the train is
running late if the train is running
late that means you will probably be
running late when you get off the train
where are the ticket machines where are
the ticket machines where are the ticket
machines in this station a ticket
machine is a machine that you go to to
purchase your tickets you might see this
in any station whether it’s a subway
station or a regular train station or
sometimes even a bus station there will
be kiosks that you can go to to enter
the information and purchase your ticket
