10 Things to Know How to Say before Traveling
hi everybody my name is Alisha welcome
back to top words today we’re going to
talk about 10 things to know how to say
before traveling let’s go I’d like to go
to the first expression is I’d like to
go to bla bla bla I’d like to go to your
hotel name I’d like to go to attraction
name I’d like to go to the nearest
station please this is an expression you
can use with perhaps a taxi driver or
maybe like a shuttle bus driver from
your hotel I don’t know so if you want
to explain where you’re trying to go you
can use this expression I’d like to go
to la pobla I’d I’d like to go to bla
bla bla in a sentence I’d like to go to
the Empire State Building number of
people please the next expression is
number of people please number of people
please by this I mean like the number of
people in your group this is an
expression you can use when you go to a
restaurant so if you’re traveling with
your family for example you could say
for please when you enter a restaurant
or if you’re traveling with one other
person you could say to please so just
the number of people in your group when
you go to a restaurant this can be just
a small thing that you learn how to say
so that you can quickly communicate with
the restaurant staff so in a sentence to
people please numbers okay next is just
numbers numbers are very useful when you
travel especially if you’re traveling to
a place where the price tags for items
might not be clearly displayed so if
you’re going to maybe like a flea market
or if you’re going to like a yard sale
or something where the prices are not
clearly marked you can use your
knowledge of numbers to ask about and to
listen for prices of things so if you
know your numbers this can be very
helpful for you and maybe you can also
like protect yourself from getting
charged too much money for something in
a sentence Wow fifty dollars for this
sandwich thank you the next expression
is thank you thank you so before
you travel make sure to study how to say
thank you and maybe a few different ways
that you can say thank you to people of
course the most basic form in English is
thank you
but maybe consider thanks or I
appreciate it or thanks a lot
so make sure to know how to say thank
you before you travel in a sentence
thank you for your help can you tell me
where is the next expression is can you
tell me where something is so if you
need to ask for directions you can use
this pattern can you tell me where the
bathroom is for example or can you tell
me where this restaurant is or can you
tell me where this sightseeing spot is
so you can use this when you need to ask
directions or when you’re like in a
department store or a shopping situation
and you need help finding something can
you tell me where something is in a
sentence can you tell me where the
station is excuse me the next expression
is excuse me excuse me
so this is useful for if you bump into
someone on the street or if you need to
interrupt someone like you need to
approach someone with a question you can
sort of begin the conversation with
excuse me and then maybe could you tell
me where the station is or excuse me I’d
like to go to blah blah blah so using
excuse me can be a polite way to
initiate to begin a conversation with
someone excuse me so in English we have
excuse me or we have sorry as well but
sorry is used more for like like an
apology like I did something wrong
excuse me is just a way to say like I’d
like to begin a conversation but I
recognize that you might be busy with
something so excuse me it’s like you
want to start a conversation sorry is
like an apology so I recommend using
excuse me in English in a sentence
excuse me where can I buy a train pass
where is the restroom okay the next one
is very important where is the restroom
where is the restroom so this is an
important question I think so if you’re
out shopping or if you’re at like in a
sightseeing location it may be important
to know where the restroom is so where
is the restroom is a nice one to use in
English you can say where is the toilet
but in American English it might sound a
little bit too direct you could also use
like where is the washroom
perhaps in British English but generally
where is the restroom is quite a nice
expression to know for English travel in
a sentence where’s the restroom
I’d like please the next expression is
I’d like something please this is useful
when you visit restaurants I’d like a
beer please
I’d like a salad please you can also use
it when you’re shopping so I’d like
three of that t-shirt please I don’t
know why I need three or I’d like four
of these please so I’d like again that D
sound so the same I’d like as we talked
about in the first word in this episode
I’d like to go to we can use I’d like
plus a noun phrase I’d like something
please very useful for ordering and for
shopping so in a sentence I’d like a
beer please how do you say in English
the next expression is how do you say
something in English how do you say
something in English so if you don’t
know the English word for something but
you want to know how to say it you can
ask somebody maybe like a friend or
maybe staff at your hotel for example if
there’s someone nearby that you can ask
you can use this question how do you say
this in English how do you can point to
something like how do you say this in
English just pick it up if it’s like a
water bottle in my case how do you say
this in English or like how do you say
that in English you can use that
expression and you can just point to the
object to to make it clear what you mean
so how do you say something in English
do you speak language the next
expression is do you speak language so
do you speak language so if you want to
check and see if the other person speaks
your language you can use this
expression so in my case I would say do
you speak English or if you travel
somewhere else maybe maybe if you’re
from like Vietnam you could say do you
speak
Vietnamese or do you speak Portuguese or
do you speak Chinese so you can ask
people around you what languages they
speak if you have like an idea that
maybe that person can speak that
language you can ask them do you speak
Japanese so maybe a useful one do you
speak English - all right in a sentence
then do you speak Portuguese so those
are 10 things to know how to say before
traveling I hope that those are a few
good pointers for your next trip
