Hello.
Welcome.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton.
Today we're going to have a conversation between two people.
One person is looking for the, a, oh, I guess you could say ...
Looking for a way to get to the airport ...
and where the station is,
or the subway that they're going to ...
use to get to the airport to meet a friend.
The other person is very helpful and knows their way around ...
the area much better than the first person, who's going to the airport.
So, you're going to go through the conversation one-time.
Where you repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
Kelly is the person who you will be speaking as.
Then we're going to go through the conversation ...
back and forth, between you and I, four times.
Four conversations.
Each time, we're going to switch roles.
I will always be Lyman. You will always be Kelly.
But, we're going to switch sides of the conversation each time.
Now, remember when you're speaking English ...
try to speak like I speak ...
because, I have an American accent.
I speak English as a native speaker.
And, that's what you should try to do too ...
and that will give you a nice clean speech of English.
With less of an accent from your native country.
Okay? Does that make sense?
Please, let's begin.
Repeat everything I say ...
for Lyman and Kelly.
Hi, Lyman.
Hi, Kelly. What's up?
I'm going to the airport, to meet with a friend.
How are you going to get there?
I'm going to take the subway. Where's the nearest station?
It's right over there. Just across the street.
Where? I don't see it.
The entrance is next to the hotel.
Oh, yes. I see it now. Thanks!
No problem. I'm glad I could help.
Would you happen to know if there's a restroom nearby?
Yes. There's one in that coffee shop, you can use.
Thank you, Lyman. You really know your way around here, don't you?
I should. I've lived and worked in this area for many years now.
Could you show me around one day this week?
I'd be happy to, Kelly.
Do you have time to meet with me on Wednesday?
Yes, I'll be free all afternoon that day.
Terrific! Let's meet here for lunch at 12 o'clock. I'll buy.
Okay. That sounds good, Kelly. I'll see you then.
Now, we have repeated everything one-time.
So, let's begin our first ...
of four conversations.
You ...
speak out loud, speak out loud as Kelly.
Just listen when Lyman speaks.
