I’m just browsing thanks. Huh? What does browsing mean? Let’s find out. What’s
up guys? My name is shane and today we talking about going shopping. Everyone needs to go
shopping sometimes whether it’s for food, for shoes, for clothes, for electronics. So
it’s very important basic phrases you can use when going shopping. So today I am going
to take you on a shopping expedition. Expedition means a trip or a journey. We are going to
pretend we enter a shop, look for something, find it, pay for it and then leave the shop.
And I am going to tell you what phrases you can use at every step of our journey so make
sure you watch until the end of the video so you know all the phrases you can use when
you go shopping. Let’s get started! To buy something, we first have to go into the shop
right? And sometimes when we go into a shop, there will be a staff member waiting to greet
us. So if you want to greet the staff member, a very common greeting is hi, how are you?
Hi, how are you? And when a native speaker says this really quickly, it sounds like this.
Hi, howareyou? Hi, howareyou? The native speaker puts the how, are, you all together. Howareyou?
And if you’re interested in learning more greetings, you can check out this video right
here. And after you greet the staff member, the staff member will probably say I’m good
thanks, can I help you with anything today? And you have 2 options here. You can say yes
you need help or no you don’t need help. If you don’t need help you can say no thanks,
I’m just browsing today. No thanks, I’m just browsing today. What does browsing mean?
browsing means looking. This is a very common word we use when talking about shopping. Let’s
pretend you are looking for something. A very common phrase is: yes I’m looking for a
… do you have anything like that? Yes I’m looking for a … do you have anything like
that? So let’s pretend I am looking for a business shirt to wear to work. I can say
yes, I’m looking for a business shirt. Do you have anything like that? And then the
staff member will either say yes we do, follow me or no we don’t. and when a native speaker
says this really quickly, it sounds like this. Yeah, I’m lookin’ fora …djyuh have anything
like that? Yeah, I’m lookin’ fora …djyuh have anything like that? Yeah, I’m lookin’
fora …djyuh have anything like that? We don’t say do you. We say djyuh, djyuh have
anything like that? Now you try - djyuh have anything like that? You’ve entered the shop
and now you are browsing for something. What does browsing mean? Browsing means looking.
And now let’s pretend you need some help with something. What can you say to the staff
member? You can say excuse me, could I get some help with the … could I get some help
with the … and then you say what you are looking for. Could I get some help with the
shirts? The cameras? The phones? And when a native speaker says this really quickly,
it sounds like this: scuse me, couldi get some help with the … scuse me, couldi get
some help with the … we don’t say excuse me. We say scuse me. Couldi. Couldi. scuse
me, couldi get some help with the shirts please. Now you try: scuse me, couldi get some help
with the shirts please. Now, let’s pretend you are looking for a business shirt but in
the store you can only see pink business shirts and you want to ask the staff member if they
have any different styles or colors. What can you say? You can say: excuse me, do you
have anything else like this? Excuse me do you have anything else like this? This means
do you have any other styles or any other colors? And when a native speaker says this
really quickly, it sounds like this: scuse me, djyuh have anything else like this? scuse
me, djyuh have anything else like this? We don’t say excuse me, again. We say scuse
me. We don’t say do you have, we say djyuh have? scuse me, djyuh have anything else like
this? Now you try: scuse me, djyuh have anything else like this? Now let’s pretend you find
the business shirt you want. It’s the right color, it’s the right style but it’s xxxxl
and that is too big for you. What can you say to the staff member? You could say excuse
me, do you have any smaller sizes? Excuse me, do you have any smaller sizes? And once
again, when we say it really quickly, it sounds like this: scuse me, djyuh have any smaller
sizes? scuse me, djyuh have any smaller sizes? Now you try: scuse me, djyuh have any smaller
sizes? Okay, now you found the shirt you want. You’ve got the right size, the right color,
the right style and you take it to the cashier to pay. What can you say? You don’t have
to say anything but I think it’s really really nice to acknowledge, to say something
to the person who is helping you. So you can say hi, how are you. Just this one please.
hi, how are you. Just this one please. This means you are just buying one thing. And when
said really quickly, it sounds like this. Jus this one. Jus this one. We don’t say
just. The t disappears. We say jus this one. Now you try. If you’re buying more than
one thing. You can say hi how are you? Just these ones please. hi how are you? Just these
ones please. And if you’re buying a lot of things – 20, 30, 40 things, like at a
supermarket, you can just say hi, how are you? Also, you might want to know if you can
pay by credit card. So you can ask the cashier: can I pay by card? Can I pay by card? And
another thing you might want is your receipt. You can say could I get my receipt please?
Could I get my receipt please? And when say really quickly, it sounds like this. Couldi.
Couldi. Couldi get my receipt please? Now you try: Couldi get my receipt please? Now,
you have paid for your business shirt and you are going to leave the store. If you see
the staff member who helped you, you can say thanks for your help today, see you next time.
Thanks for your help today, see you next time. When said really quickly, it sounds like this:
thanks for yuh help today, seeyuh next time. thanks for yuh help today, seeyuh next time.
We don’t say your, we just say yuh. And we don’t say see you, we say see yuh. See
yuh next time. Now you try: thanks for yuh help today, seeyuh next time. Or if you walk
past a staff member who didn’t help you, you can just say thanks, have a great day.
Thanks, have a great day. Or another common way to say bye is just to say thanks, bye!
Thanks, bye! This is a really quick and easy way to say bye to someone. Okay and they are
the phrases for today. Now you know what to say when you enter a shop, when you need help,
when you pay for something and when you leave a shop. Make sure you practice saying these
phrases like a native speaker like I showed you in the video. And if you’re interested
