Hi and welcome.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton.
In this lesson you and I are going to have a conversation,
as two people discussing the directions to the mall.
I want to go to the mall. Don't you?
Are you ready?
Let's begin.
Repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
Excuse me. Do you know how to get to the mall?
I sure do. I use to work there.
Oh really? So, what's the best way for me to get there?
Go straight for about a mile and turn right at the first light.
Okay. Turn right at the light. Then what?
Stay on that road for another 2 miles, until you until you come to a golf course.
All right. Is the golf course on the left or on the right side of the road?
You'll see it on the left. Turn right at that intersection.
Okay. After I turn right, then what?
The mall is just one block down that street. You can't miss it.
Good directions. Thanks! Do you know the address?
If I remember correctly, it's 2930 West Street.
Oh great. I'll put that in my GPS.
Yeah, that's a good idea. But, I don't think you'll have any problems finding it.
Well, it's better to be safe than sorry.
That's true. Are you from around here?
I live on the other side of the city. I hardly ever get over here.
Yes. I understand. Driving in an unfamiliar area can be confusing.
Well, thanks for the information. See you around.
Ah, no problem. Just watch the speed limit. Our police love to give traffic tickets.
Let's begin our 1st conversation.
Speak out loud as Kelly. Just listen when Lyman speaks.
Excuse me. Do you know how to get to the mall?
