hi everybody my name is alicia 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 blah blah blah 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 um you can use this
expression i'd like to go to blah blah
blah i'd i'd like to go to blah blah
blah 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
four please when you enter a restaurant
or if you're traveling with one other
person you could say two 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
restaurant staff so in a sentence uh two
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 uh
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 uh 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 um like an
apology like i did something wrong
excuse me it's 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 is 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 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's the restroom it's
quite a nice expression to know for
english travel uh 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 you 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 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 uh how do you say this in english
or like how do you say that in english
you can use that expression um 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 too alright 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 somewhere if you have something
else that you think is a good thing to
