two 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
rest 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 thirty dollars
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 ten dollars
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 to 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
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
top ten marriage proposal lines the
first proposal line is will you marry me
this is probably the most classic
proposal line will you marry me the
image of someone saying will you marry
me is a a man down on one knee giving a
ring to the person - usually the woman
classically sorry I know times have
changed but usually giving a ring to
someone as they ask this question so
will you marry me is the question the
answer should be simple yes or no I
suppose for you if you say no okay
in a sentence yeah will you marry me
will you marry me this is the sentence
here they have the example sentence I
never thought I would say this but will
you marry me the next proposal line is
will you do me the honor of becoming my
wife my goodness so fancy will you do me
the honor of becoming my wife quite
polite it sounds like the woman in the
situation is like is is somehow going to
bring the man asking her to marry him
honor therefore like she is very
valuable or she is very excellent very
excellent that word choice was very
excellent okay oh they have a different
they have a slight variation here I’m
going to read now will you do me the
immense honor of becoming my wife and
partner Wow the next proposal question
is will you make me the
first man alive will you make me the
happiest man alive the nuance here just
that if she says yes like this is a
marriage proposal if she says yes I will
make you the happiest man alive by
agreeing to marry him he is so happy he
is the happiest man in the world so in a
sentence here will you make me the
happiest man on earth and say yes come
the next expression is you are the one
I’ve been waiting for my whole life
you’re the one I’ve been waiting for my
whole life it doesn’t necessarily have
to be for a proposal this one if you
maybe you want to tell someone you love
them for the first time well actually
maybe this is a little too heavy for the
first time of that but maybe it’s just
you’ve reached a really serious point in
your relationship with someone you could
use this expression I don’t feel like
this has to be for a proposal I think
you could use it in a couple of other
situations situations my situation the
sentence here is it might sound cheesy
but you’re the one I’ve been waiting for
my whole life Wow quite serious though
I’m quite serious expression careful
okay the next expression I think is
classic I want to be with you forever I
want to be with you forever so be with
you means be in a relationship with that
person forever until the end you might
hear this at a wedding I suppose - like
in a wedding vow you could say this
before the proposal as well I want to be
with you forever will you marry me for
example in this sentence I want to be
with you forever and grow old with you
oh very nice things here today the next
expression is let’s spend the rest of
our lives together let’s spend the rest
of our lives together so from this day
on we should just be together always is
the nuance here yeah again you might
hear this on a wedding in a wedding
ceremony - I suppose the sentence here
is let’s elope and spend the rest of our
lives together
elope means like to come together
usually kind of quickly and a little bit
mysteriously the next expression is
having you by my side is what completes
me oh so nice so if this person if
there’s a person next to you a person
with you
by your side this person the person
speaking feels complete so it’s a nice
it’s a nice expression like with you
everything is okay everything is
finished everything is complete here so
in a sentence I love you and having you
by my side completes me
okay the next expression I can’t imagine
my life without you in it I can’t
imagine my life without you in it so
that person likes you likes the other
person so much they can’t imagine what
would life be like without this person
they don’t know they can’t imagine or
don’t want to imagine it very positive
this sentence says I can’t imagine my
life without you in it because it is too
painful oh goodness
okay a little bit serious a little bit
heavy with that one okay I have used a
similar phrase like this with my friend
like after we talk about how much we
love burritos expression here is I now
know that you and I are truly meant to
be together
yeah so you can use this I feel like you
can use this in a less serious situation
like with good friends or another
variation you can use with your friends
as like I knew we were supposed to be
friends or I knew we were gonna be
friends from the moment we met but here
I now know that you and I are truly
meant to be together
it’s like if you share a really good
experience together you can really
connect well you can use this expression
in this sentence after these years
together I now know that you and I are
truly meant to be together
alright the last expression we are meant
to be together we are meant to be
together meaning we are supposed to be
together we should be together it’s a
nice expression you can use this with
your friends too I think unless this
serious situation in this sentence we
are meant to be the first phrase is
hello hello of course is used as a
greeting you can greet your friends you
can greet your co-workers your family
with this phrase just by saying hello
Hey hi what’s up hello so yo pretty much
any time of day you can use hello hello
the next phrase is good morning good
morning is used as a greeting in the
morning you can kind of feel when
ends for you good morning is nice and
polite or even just morning with your
close friends or close co-workers the
next phrase is good night good night is
fine we don’t use this to greet other
people we use it when we’re saying
goodbye to other people at night family
members particularly mothers and fathers
to say good night to their children
before they put them to bed you can say
it to your friend in a text message or
in an email if you’ve been talking for a
while good night so the next word to
talk about is goodbye
use it when you say goodbye to your
friends when you leave your friends
goodbye bye of course take care have a
nice day
peace out that’s another way to say
goodbye okay the next phrase is I’m plus
your name of course this is a way to
introduce yourself you can use I’m in my
case Alicia I’m Alicia - introduce
yourself in any situation new friend I’m
Alicia
okay the next phrase is what’s your name
what’s your name is used to ask someone
else what their name is so what is your
name sounds a bit try to use what’s your
name if you forget someone’s name you
can say sorry what’s your name or sorry
what’s your name again next phrase is
nice to meet you nice to meet you any
time you meet someone new
nice to meet you is fine good to meet
you is a little more casual great to
meet you sounds very excited pleasure to
meet you sounds like maybe a formal
situation or a business context okay the
next phrase is how are you how are you
is Ann it’s just a friendly way to check
in with the other person you can use it
with friends your family your co-workers
maybe even your boss to a certain degree
how are you how you doing the next
phrase is I’m fine thanks and you if you
saw English in three minutes we talked a
lot about this phrase instead of I’m
fine thank you and you say I’m good
thanks how are you just shorten it and
make it a little bit more natural how
are you good how are you great how are
you not so good
how are you okay and so on so when
someone says how are you offer I usually
say I’m good this week I pop a blog give
some information about what you’ve been
up to maybe a hobby something that you
did recently an event something
interesting you saw whatever people want
to make that connection with you and
it’s a good chance for you to continue
speaking the next word is please please
as a polite phrase used when you want
something from someone else
you can use this as a response when
someone offers you something like in a
restaurant for example would you like
more water would you like something to
drink oh please
my next phrase is thank you thank you is
used to express your appreciation you
can use thank you with everybody the
next phrase is you’re welcome you’re
welcome when someone says thank you you
can say you’re welcome
no biggie I use no biggie as in no
biggie is short for no big problem an X
where it is yes yes of course yes means
is any positive expression someone asks
you a question and the answer is a
positive answer you say yes yep uh-huh
yeah we know next I’m guessing I knew it
yep the next word is no no is a negative
response to something when you have to
give a negative answer so as you can
probably guess the long form of no is
negative I like to use nope it’s very
very casual not gonna happen my parents
would use that with me to soften that a
little bit if you want to show a
negative response to something like
let’s go for dinner tonight what do you
want to do like do you want to go out
not really
hmm no I don’t think so hmm to soften it
the next word is okay okay this word
comes from copy editors okay when they
had to check a manuscript they had to
label the manuscript all clear eh see
but because they were copy editors and
they have a very very sick sense of
humor they thought they would mark it
okay for all clear to make a joke
because o and K do not start all and
clear but it caught on among everybody
in the world anyway okay is used to
agree with somebody else well it can be
used actually to express a positive or
kind of a slight negative I feel
transitioning in your conversation you
can say okay now we’re going to talk
about blah blah blah okay
the next phrase is excuse me excuse me
it’s used to get someone’s attention in
English when you don’t know the other
person for example in a store or a
supermarket maybe a stranger on the
street you need to ask directions you
can use excuse me you can use excuse me
in the supermarket excuse me can you
tell me where the hot sauce is if you’ve
done something rude in public you can
use excuse me
I personally do not do rude things in
public ever I’m sorry is the next word
we’re gonna talk about I’m sorry is used
to apologize when you have made a
mistake or someone you know it’s made a
mistake and you’re connected to it or
you just feel bad you can use I’m sorry
you made a mistake at work I’m sorry you
forgot to feed your cat I’m sorry sorry
about that you bump someone next to you
oh sorry
what time is it is the next phrase when
you need to check what time it is what
time is it when you ask someone else
what time it is maybe you say this to
yourself to check your watch check your
phone check a clock pretty
straightforward phrase there aren’t
really any short version so that’s an
easy one hey where is that plus a
location so you can use this for a
building or a store we don’t we’re not
going to use this where is the for a
place a city name or a state name or a
country name to do that you would need
to remove the but where is the bank
where is the post office you can use
this to ask directions to ask for help
in your house or at work where is the
copy machine where is the file
I need where is the bla bla bla where is
the bathroom is perhaps a very important
question to know the next one is may I
use the restroom may I use the restroom
is a polite and soft expression that you
can use if you need to use the toilet
you need to use the washroom and when
you’re at someone’s house for the very
first time when you’re in a place that
your that is new to you you can ask may
I use the restroom more casually can I
go to the bathroom to be very polite you
could say may I go to the bathroom the
next phrase is I would like to order
something you can use this at a
restaurant probably or in any situation
where you need to place an order I’d
like a pizza I like beer can I get the
check please this will be used at a
restaurant when you’ve finished your
meal and it’s time to go can I get the
check please in a very very casual
situation you can just say check please
that’s fine the next phrase is see you
soon see you soon is used with friends
and family members perhaps when you
expect to see them again soon after
saying goodbye to them this is used at
the end of the conversation you’re going
separate directions
see you soon see ya is also good or just
see you to make it a little more formal
you can say I’ll see you again soon make
a full sentence out of it that way the
next phrases see you later
see you later is very similar to see you
soon but the point is would see you
later is that you’re probably going to
meet that person again later on in the
same day the last phrase is really
really is a very useful word because you
can use it to show you we’re interested
in a conversation with upward intonation
really really tell me more or to show
that you’re not so interested in the
conversation with downward intonation
really so there are many other words
that you can use similar to really in
this way like seriously or oh oh and so
on so it’s a really good practice for
your intonation me is the first english

a service to somebody you can say are
you satisfied proud if you feel very
