words you need to know at the airport
let's go
terminal
terminal a terminal is the place where a
plane stops to collect or drop off
passengers
for example you can say the plane will
pull into the terminal so we can exit
or the terminal will get changed 10
times so you'll miss your flight
luggage pickup
this is the place at an airport where
you get your luggage after your flight
for example you can say the luggage
pickup area is busy
sometimes you can also see baggage claim
instead of luggage pickup
then we have plane ticket
plane ticket you need to keep your plane
ticket with you at all times when you're
at the airport at the airport this will
be called a boarding pass for example
you can say i purchased my plane ticket
online so you do not need that boarding
pass anymore i don't want to see those
boarding passes the next word is flight
flight
a flight is another name for a plane
that goes to a certain destination
for example you might hear this flight
goes to new york you can say the flight
will leave in one hour or you can say
the flight will leave in 10 hours
because it's been delayed next word is
bored
this verb means to get on a plane boat
etc for example you can say we need to
hurry to get on board on time
boarding gate
a boarding gate is the place where you
go to get on your flight
usually there's a gate number to help
you find your gate for example you can
say i couldn't find my boarding gate or
the boarding gate will be closing and
they'll say paris
delayed
if a flight or train is delayed it means
that it will leave later than expected
for example you can say the train
departure will be delayed for 20 minutes
it's always the worst when your plane or
train is delayed
take off
take off when something starts to fly
especially in an airplane we say that
it's taking off for example you can say
the plane will take off in 20 minutes
the next word is land
land when something descends and touches
the ground after flying we say that it
lands
for example you can say the plane will
land at the airport at 10 o'clock
the next word is reservation
reservation a reservation is used when
you made arrangements in advance for
something such as a restaurant hotel a
tour etc for example you can say do you
have a reservation in la that's all i
hear

which word do you like the most leave us
a comment letting me know
see you next time guys bye hi everybody
my name is alicia and today we're going
to be talking about the top 25 english
phrases so let's get started 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 sup
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 morning 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 uh
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 to 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
tried 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 anytime 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 uh
maybe a formal situation or a business
context okay the next phrase is how are
you how are you is 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 uh how are you
how you doing the next phrase is i'm
fine thanks and you uh if you saw
english in three minutes we talked a lot
about this phrase uh instead of i'm fine
thank you and you say i'm good thanks
how are you just shorten it 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 blah blah blah
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
is 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
the 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 the
next word 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
no
next i'm guessing i know 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 um 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
no i don't think so
to soften it the next word is okay okay
this word comes from copy editors okay
when they had to check a manuscript um
they had to label the manuscript all
clear ac 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 uh 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 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 going
to talk about i'm sorry is used to
apologize when you have made a mistake
or someone you know has 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 too check your
watch check your phone check a clock
pretty straightforward phrase there
aren't really any short versions so
that's an easy one
where is the plus a location so you can
use this for um 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 blah blah blah 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 when
you're at someone's house for the very
first time when you're in a place that
you're 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 can 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'd like
a
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
uh 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 it's
very similar to see you soon but the
point is with cu 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'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 uh so those

when you
trust in something or that you feel that
you know
that something exists or something is

person or the other group of people is
capable of doing something or um people
use it for their faith as well like i

for something that you you have your
faith in and another person or in
religion whatever that might be
consistency

a liquid can be really thick or kind of
thin or you could also use consistency
to talk about something that's important
that you need when you're studying a
language for example consistency so
consistency refers to doing the same
thing the same way over and over and
over again studying every day or making
a habit out of studying creating
consistency in your study patterns will
really help you in learning another
language and watch our videos every week
we're consistent
friend
friend that's good i'm glad that that
was a word that was chosen from the
facebook thing friend um yeah so someone
that you feel close to or someone that
you get along really well with is your
friend in a sentence i went out drinking
with my friends yesterday and that was a
bad idea friend also can be used for the
people who follow you or the people who
you're connected to on social media so
your facebook friends maybe twitter you
can have twitter friends
um maybe instagram friends people that
you haven't actually met but that you
somehow have a connection with online
people are now calling them your friends
but whether or not they're true friends
remains to be seen
what is a true friend a true friend is
someone who you can
tell all your things to and they won't
judge you for it
gatecrash
this
this uh gate crash means to go to an
event without having been invited to the
event i've also heard um just crash i
haven't heard it with gate but i just
heard crashes and to crash a party so in
a sentence i once crashed a house party
i wasn't invited but someone somehow we
had a connection and we just showed up
and had a good time but usually gate
crashes are perceived as um they're very
unwelcome like you you shouldn't be
there
great
great it's just a positive word how are
you i'm great
oh how was that movie it was great any
time that you want to express some sort
of positivity you could use the word
great great you're great eileen pizza is
pretty great i haven't eaten beets in a
while pizza
i don't know i love the phrase i don't
know i talked about this phrase in one
of the english topics videos that we did
with michael check that out if you
haven't already i don't know of course
is used when you do not know information
you don't know the answer your teacher
asks you a question in math class or
something and you can say i don't know
for
i have no ideas
so you can use it in this way but i like
to use i don't know a lot to transition
in my speech when i don't have a good
idea or when i'm out of things to say
and i want to kind of pass the
conversation to the next person i go i
don't know i don't know you can use this
when you're trying to make a decision
for example and you kind of want to
encourage the other person to like help
make the decision so one person might
say what do you want to do and you can
say i don't know what do you want to do
i don't know what do you want to do and
eventually somebody has to make the
decision but you can kind of pass back
and forth with i don't know i don't know
in this sort of soft way
never mind yeah never mind means don't
worry about it or um maybe like stop
thinking about that i don't need to
think about that anymore never mind like
you want to move on in the conversation
you can say never mind or you make an
embarrassing comment never mind what is
happening there was there's like a
creaky cracky thing happening never mind
oh i just used it never mind no it
wasn't on purpose
so i just used nevermind that was pretty
good
passion
passion passion refers to something that
you feel very strongly about positively
usually so you can feel passion for your
studies you can feel passion for your
hobby you can feel passion for your
family or your friend i think we use
passion more so to talk about um like a
love relationship a romantic
relationship so you could say i have
passion for my wife i have passion for
my husband or like i have passion for
this hobby that i do
it's a really positive word so in a
sentence let's see i think a
relationship should be full of passion i
have passion for music i do i have
passion for music i'm constantly
listening to music uh from the moment i
wake up in the morning i literally have
headphones in in my bed and i'm
listening to my latest the latest new
things on my soundcloud stream that's

we're stirring the pot here at
englishclass101.com
why is the jurassic park theater he's
coming out hi everybody my name is
alicia and today we're going to be
talking about 15 questions that you
should know so these are 15 questions
that not necessarily
you need to know how to ask them perhaps
you know some of the questions already
but you will probably also hear these
questions as well so we'll practice a
few different answers for these
questions too
so
let's get started
do you like american food the first
question is do you like american food
you will probably be asked this question
do you like american food you can either
say yes or no
or you can give a specific example
someone says do you like american food
yes i love philly cheesesteaks i would
recommend saying
yes or a little
or
or or you can just say i don't know what
do you recommend
have you been to the united states the
next question is have you been to the
united states have you been to the
united states so someone asks you have
you been to the united states you should
reply with either yes i have or no i
haven't or maybe no i haven't yet but i
want to when you want to ask someone
this question you can say have you been
to japan have you been to egypt have you
been to china whatever you can use your
own country when you ask this question
how are you how are you when someone
asks how are you
don't say i'm fine thank you and you
please don't say that please say
something more natural like good
great i'm good how are you something
like that is much better than i'm going
thank you and you be a little more
genuine in your reply also when you ask
this question maybe one point to help
you sound a little more natural when you
ask someone else don't like try to say
how are you how are you instead of how
are you or
and make make sure your intonation is
correct i've had a few people ask me
how are you like a little too
yeah with this question or like how are
you but how are you should be the
intonation with this how are you how are
you is a little bit more natural
how long have you been studying english
great question to know the answer to
your answer should be i have been
studying english for blah blah blah
years or blah blah or above one weeks
but if that's too much for you you can
just use the time how long have you been
studying english six years how long have
you been studying english two months so
just pick the time if if the whole
sentence is quite long for you
how old are you we don't really go
around asking people how old they are
like just the first time you meet them
necessarily especially if they're older
much older than you like in particular
it's sometimes considered rude to ask
especially women how old they are so
just be careful with this question but
if you're about the same age group you
know maybe you're at an event or a party
or something and you just want to check
how old the other person is you can use
this phrase when you reply to this just
say
uh i'm plus the number to make a really
simple response so how old are you i'm
15. how old are you i'm 42. whatever the
answer is just stick i'm in front of it
not i but i'm i am but use the
contracted form to sound more natural
i'm number if you want to make a full
sentence you can say i'm number years
old don't forget that s in years i'm
a million years old what did you say
what did you say if you couldn't quite
hear something that someone else said
you can use this question to confirm
sorry what did you say it's a little
nicer than just saying what
what did you say or what did you just
say sorry what did you say i couldn't
hear you
what's this
what's this when you don't know what
something is what's this when you're out
for dinner you're out for lunch or
something and you find a new food or you
just you're curious just say what's this
to reply to this question just say it's
blah blah blah what's your name what's
your name of course you should know how
to ask this question and how to answer
this question what's your name is a
little more natural than what is your
name
again contracted form will help you
sound much more natural so what's your
name someone asks you you can just give
your name alicia that's fine you can say
alicia you can say i'm alicia that's
fine too you could say my name is or my
name's alicia
either any of those are fine in a more
formal situation a business situation i
would i would use my name is blah blah
blah while i shake hands or something
what's your phone number the next one is
what's your phone number i would not ask
this question right away like maybe
you've met the person a few times but
you would like to contact them whether
it's because you're romantically
interested in them or because you want
to be better friends with them but just
if you meet someone for the first time
and you're like what's your phone number
it's like a little
it's a little too much so use this
question after you've met the person a
few times and you know you want to
become better friends when you want to
give your phone number just say it's and
the number that's fine just it's blah
blah blah or my phone number is blah
blah blah with the number five five five
one million and five two six
when is your birthday so maybe you wanna
plan a birthday party for example or
it's just another fun question the first
time you meet someone when is your
birthday so when you want to tell
someone your birthday just give the
month and the date
january 15th august
42nd
that's a real day if you want to make a
full sentence you can say my birthday is
month date
where are you from the next word the
next question is where are you from this
can refer to your country or your city
but i feel like probably more stuff and
it refers to your country so where are
you from your answer should be i'm from
place i'm from china i'm from japan i'm
from vietnam i'm from america whatever
i'm from
where did you learn english the next
question is where did you learn english
where did you learn english if you're
speaking great english you can say i
learned english at englishclass101.com
because you did because you're watching
now
anyway where did you learn english in
this case in the case of like these
videos i learned english online or i
learned english from
and then the school name or the program
name so i learned english from
englishclass101.com for example if you
studied english at university you can
say i learned english at university or i
learned english from my friends perhaps
where do you live where do you live
depending on the situation where you're
asked this this can mean your country
like uh i live in america i live in
china sometimes it's about the place in
the city where you live sometimes it's
about the country where you live so you
can kind of feel i think which question
which type of question is being asked
where do you work where do you work is
talking about your job you can use the
pattern i work
at company name or i work for
company name either is fine i work at
abc company i work for abc company
either is okay but you know if if you
have answered with the wrong information
the other person will just ask you like
oh i mean where is your office or oh i
mean which company do you work for use
the force for this one
where is the bathroom where is the
bathroom very important question where
is the bathroom in american english
where is the bathroom or where is the
restroom is more common than where is
the toilet using the word toilet is a
little bit too direct in american
english so i recommend bathroom or
restroom so those are 15 questions that
you should definitely know know how to
ask these questions and know how to
answer these questions they are very
useful
and very important for everyday

a mysterious mixture in a sentence uh

hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is alicia and today we're going
to be talking about 10 different phrases
that you can use to respond to the
question how are you so let's go i'm
great
the first phrase is i'm great if someone
says how are you you can say i'm great
try to say i'm great with a kind of an
upbeat voice um so something like how
are you i'm great i'm feeling bad
i'm feeling bad if you say i'm feeling
bad the other person is probably if
they're a friend of yours or a co-worker
going to ask you why what happened so if
you want to use i'm feeling bad make
sure you have an explanation ready
anyway somebody says how are you and you
go i'm feeling bad maybe i went out for
drinks last night with my co-workers
oops
i'm okay i'm okay i feel like this is
one of those intonation practice ones
i'm okay with that ah i'm okay it's like
sort of upward intonation you're like
cool but if if someone says how are you
and you're like i'm okay
they're like oh no
what happened
so you can use your intonation with i'm
okay to make it a good thing or another
good thing but either way it's not like
a very super serious response thank you
for asking
yeah
i imagine this would be in a more formal
situation like if my friends said to me
how are you
and i was like thank you for asking
they'd be like
what i would say i'm fine or i'm doing
well i'm doing great plus thank you for
asking so how are you i'm doing very
well thank you
oh that's how i would use it
and you the next one is and you like the
least natural response to how are you is
i'm fine thank you and you like just get
out of put it just take it out of your
head nobody says that i always say how
about you that's a much more natural
thing how are you
how are you how are you can be a
response again after you have given your
answer to the question how are you
i'm great how are you how are you i'm
good how are you i'm great how are you
i'm okay how are you
how have you been recently how have you
been recently this is only useful if you
haven't seen the other person for a
while i'm not bad i'm not bad i'm not
bad how are you i'm not bad i'm not bad
things could be worse i would probably
do this
i'm sleepy the next expression is i'm
sleepy
it's like so specific if someone said
how are you i would probably say i'm
okay but i'm a little sleepy i don't
know that i would just say i'm sleepy
unless it's a really good friend of mine
it's a person close to you you can say
i'm so tired i'm i would say i'm super
tired or i'm really tired
and i feel like that's a little bit more
natural than just i'm sleepy i'm good
one that i use a lot if someone says how
are you i say i'm good
that's just probably my go-to response
yeah i'm good i'm good maybe i'll repeat
it while smiling i'm good i'm good yeah
thanks for asking great
how are you that is the end those are 10
phrases that you can use to respond to
the question how are you if there's one
takeaway from this and from other things
that we've done over the last few years
in this channel just get rid of that i'm
fine thank you and you and pick one of
these that we've talked about today
of course if there's another expression
that you use
for a response to
how are you
i'd be very interested to learn about
that but
in general you're pretty safe if you
stick with these i think so thanks very
much for watching this episode of top
words and we will see you again soon bye
noise
yeah vamos a la playa now we're going to
the beach
hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is alicia and today we're going
to be talking about 20 travel phrases
that you should know so let's go do you
have any recommendations the first
phrase is do you have any
recommendations this is great to use
when you get to a restaurant where you
don't know what the food is you don't
know anything about the local cuisine or
you're just feeling a little bit
adventurous you can ask the wait staff
do you have any recommendations how much
is this how much is this this is useful
when you're out shopping or when you're
in a restaurant and the price is not
clearly marked or something is not clear
to you so you can ask how much is this
usually when you point to something i
would recommend like pointing to the
menu or pointing to an item how much is
this
i'd like this you can point to something
and say i'd like this uh if you want to
say i'd like uh one for example i don't
know you're getting beer i'd like one of
these
if however you're in a situation where
you can't point you can say i'd like 10
of the blah blah blah i'd like 10 of the
blue t-shirts please can i try this on
is useful when you're shopping for
clothes so you find something that you'd
like to try just ask the staff can i try
this on you can just say i want to try
this on if you like do you speak english
you might get asked this phrase so you
should say if you're watching this video
you should probably say yes or you can
say yes a little if you're not feeling
very confident if you're watching this
video and you're understanding this part
and you say no then
things that's a little strange i have a
reservation usually the staff will greet
you and you can say i have a reservation
hello i have a reservation it's at seven
o'clock the name is alicia usually we
say the name is or it's under meaning
the reservation is under my name or um
it's for name or uh it's in name
water please
depending on which country you're from
water may or may not automatically be
brought to your table when you're at a
restaurant if you would like more water
however you can say water please to make
it a little more polite i would like
wave at the wait staff and say could i
please have some more water do you take
credit cards do you take credit cards in
case you're not sure if the shop that
you're in will accept credit cards or
debit cards you can ask them do you take
credit cards so it doesn't mean do you
take meaning are you going to take my
card but this take means do you accept
credit cards this isn't what i ordered
so if you're at a restaurant you order
steak and you get lobster instead you
can look at it and go ah this isn't what
i ordered be careful though say this
politely if you look at the wait staff
and you say this isn't what i ordered
they're gonna be like
i don't know just be a nice customer
excuse me but i don't think this is what
i ordered or this isn't what i ordered
can you please check could we have the
menu please if for some reason you don't
receive a menu when you come to the
table you can again just wave at a
member of the staff and say could we
have the menu please could you give me a
discount could you give me a discount
means i would like a cheaper price
essentially it depends on which country
you're in if haggling or bargaining
meaning
talking to the seller to try to reduce
the price my family didn't bargain we
didn't haggle so i don't haggle depends
on you and your culture but uh just yeah
just be be aware of the culture that
you're in and the place that you're in
before you ask this question do you have
any vegetarian dishes ah this is useful
some people
have specific eating requirements or
eating needs maybe food allergies for
example you can replace vegetarian with
the specific dietary requirement that
you have do you have any vegan dishes do
you have any gluten free dishes do you
have any low fat dishes do you have any
low carb dishes do you have any fish
free dishes do you have any
could you take a picture of me please if
you are in a location where you would
like to take a picture but you don't
want to do a selfie or you don't have a
selfie stick or whatever you want
someone else to take a picture of you a
stranger that you don't know you can ask
them could you take a picture of me
please or excuse me would you mind
taking a picture of me please i'm
allergic to blah blah blah if you have a
food allergy or even
an allergy to a medicine this is the
phrase you can use to explain that i'm
allergic to wheat or i can't eat wheat
for example
is the wi-fi free meaning can i use the
wi-fi free of charge keep in mind some
places have a
a password that you have to ask the
staff for
so you can say is the wi-fi free if they
say yes you can then follow that up with
can i have the password i'd like to have
a non-smoking seat please so when you go
to a restaurant you have an option
between smoking and non-smoking sections
the staff will say smoking or
non-smoking you can say i'd like to have
a non-smoking seat please quite honestly
though the most natural response is just
to say non-smoking could i get a map
maybe it's a map of the subway system
for the city that you're in or maybe
it's a map of the area around your hotel
you could say could i have a map as well
could i have the check you're finished
at your cafe you're finished at the
restaurant and it's time to leave it's
time to pay so you say to the wait staff
excuse me could i have the check another
more common expression perhaps is excuse
me check please you might also hear bill
excuse me can i have the bill where is
the bathroom very important question if
you're traveling in america we don't
really use the word toilet or washroom
very much we use bathroom or restroom to
talk about
toilet facilities excuse me can you tell
me where the bathroom is or excuse me
i'm looking for the bathroom or i'm
looking for the restroom is this the
train for blah blah blah or is this the
train that goes to blah blah blah to
confirm with someone that i'm indeed on
the correct train line if i say is this
the train bound for san francisco you
can use that to check if you're correct
so that's the end those are 20 travel
phrases that you can use when you're
traveling in an english-speaking country

different variations on these themes so

hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is alicia and today we're going
to be talking about the top 10 ways to
prepare for travel so let's go choose
your destination the first step is to
choose your destination destination is
the place you want to go so of course
choose your destination to begin your
travels in a sentence if you choose your
destination based only on price you
might be disappointed
buy a guidebook the next expression is
buy a guidebook or maybe download a
guidebook at this point buy a guidebook
so once you have chosen your destination
you can buy a guidebook for your
destination which will give you tips
about what to do there in a sentence i
bought my guidebook on the internet and
it was great you can buy a guidebook at
a used bookstore for less
save money
phrase for travel is save money so once
you have chosen your destination and
bought a guidebook you need to save
money if you haven't saved money already
so travel can be expensive you need to
save money for your
actual uh transportation as well as for
the things you plan to do in your
destination so in a sentence i'm trying
to save money for a trip to europe next
year saving money is hard but it's worth
it when you're on the trip
book a flight the next step is to book a
flight so you've saved your money you've
chosen your destination you've bought
the guidebook now you need to book your
flight so to book means to reserve it's
the same as in like book a restaurant
for example a book a hotel book of
flight so in a sentence i booked my
flight for my vacation last week
research the costs research the costs
well i hope you do this before you book
your flight but
you research the costs of where you're
going to go how much does it cost to eat
there how much does transportation cost
there
how much are sightseeing attractions
going to cost there those kinds of
things so you need to research the costs
for your trip in a sentence i researched
the cost for my upcoming vacation in
europe and it seems pretty reasonable
request vacation time the next step is
to request vacation time or to request
time off or to ask for time off so at
your job if you need to take time away
from your job to go traveling somewhere
you need to request vacation time in a
sentence i'm going to request vacation
time next week and i feel a little bit
nervous
book accommodations the next expression
is book accommodations or just book a
hotel
or book a hostel something like that
book an airbnb as well is fine so this
means to reserve the place you are going
to stay in your destination
uh let's see in a sentence i booked my
hotel on the internet
obtain an international driving license
the next one for some of you perhaps if
you are just you really want to do all
of the things you can obtain an
international driving license so maybe
if you really really really want to be
able to drive a car in your destination
you can get a driver's license
permission to drive a car in the country
of your destination so in a sentence i'm
taking the test for my international
driver's license next week i hope i pass
pac
the next one is the verb pack so to pack
pack means to put things in a suitcase
or to put things in a box
this motion of putting things in
something else for the purpose of taking
them elsewhere is packing we do it when
we move to a new house or when we travel
in a sentence
i need to pack for my trip next week
get a visa the next expression is get a
visa so in some countries you need to
get a visa before you go to the country
even if you're just there as a tourist
you need to get a visa special
permission to be in that country
sometimes you have to pay money for it
so you need to research this before you
travel in a sentence i got my visa when
i arrived in australia
alright so those are 10 phrases that you
can use as you prepare to travel i hope
you enjoyed and i hope that you can use
these the next time you plan to travel

hi everyone my name is bridget and in
today's lesson we are going to be
talking about the top 10 most common
tourist vocabulary
let's get started
ticket
all passengers must have a ticket a
ticket is what grants you access to
places so you buy tickets ahead of time
and you show them at the door someone
takes them someone scans them just to
make sure you've paid to get where
you're going when you get onto a plane
you have a ticket when you go into a
museum you have to show your ticket when
you go into the movie theater you have a
ticket ticket
tourist
i think you all know what it means to be
a tourist a tourist is someone who's
visiting a new place for pleasure means
you're going out and exploring trying
new things you're going there as a
tourist to tour you're literally there
to tour a place to get a sense of it to
see new things
itinerary
what's on the itinerary dear an
itinerary is a schedule of what you are
going to be doing in a given day so you
can wake up and say what's on the
itinerary for today just like you can
say what's on the schedule for today it
means what you have planned
so for example i've booked a vacation
package where all the days are planned
out for me so day one what's on the
itinerary
oh it seems day one we're going to a
museum
and then we're going to a stadium and
then we're going to see a play
guidebook
a guidebook is a book that has
information about a certain place so if
you're traveling to japan you can buy a
japan guidebook and in that book you're
going to see good restaurants to try
museums
neighborhoods to check out different
things so the guidebook is meant to
guide you on your tour of a new place
tour bus
a tour bus is a bus that's meant for
tourists it's a bus you get on that
takes you around and shows you different
things or if you are in an organized
tour maybe everyone in your group will
get on this tour bus and the bus will
take you to the places on your itinerary
let's take the tour bus back to the
hotel
temple temple
a temple is a building devoted to the
worship of a particular god or gods you
can say wow there are so many temples in
kyoto in japan
mosque
that's a very old mosque a mosque is a
muslim place of worship
church
a church is a christian place of worship
i'm sure you've seen plenty of them on
your travels
wow this church is so tall
this church is so
impressive
waterfall
don't go chasing waterfalls weird this
song's actually been stuck in my head
all day we'll hike to the waterfall
and gaze upon its beauty and have lunch
looking at the gushing water
a waterfall water is falling down the
mountain you've seen them they're
beautiful
in america we have niagara falls which
is one of our most famous waterfalls
waterfall
tour
as a tourist you're probably going to go
on at least one tour a guide takes you
on a tour of a particular place of a
particular thing and gives you
information that means you're on a tour
maybe in your guidebook
you see that there's a tour to go and
see a waterfall
so you get on the computer and you buy a
ticket for the tour and once you have
the ticket you add that tour to your
itinerary so that you have it scheduled

things to do in the summer in the united
states so let's
go to travel abroad to travel abroad to
travel abroad abroad means outside of
your country so meaning to travel to a
place not the united states in my case
please don't forget to in this
expression so many of my students will
say this
summer i'm going europe you need to use
two before the place you do not however
need to use two before there so like
students sometimes will say
i want to go to there you can't do that
you have to use two before the specific
name of a place there is not a specific
place so you don't need to use two keep
that one in mind to relax at the beach
to relax at the beach ah that sounds
fantastic right now to relax at the
beach you go to the beach and you just
relax there you lay in the sun you go
swimming maybe you drink a beer you get
a tan if you would like to do that of
course some people don't you put on
sunscreen whatever it is that you like
to do at the beach you just do that and
enjoy in a sentence i would rather relax
at the beach than have a really active
vacation

i'm going to put my time to good use and
learn english at englishclass101.com
to have a barbecue
oh yeah the next one is one of my
favorite things ever to do in summer
wherever i am it's to have a barbecue or
to have a bbq is also okay but barbecue
usually bbq is in like writing i love
having barbecues with my friends in the
summer every fourth of july my family
has a big barbecue
to party all night the next expression
is to party all night to party all night
you don't it doesn't have to be summer
or the united states to party all night
just saying
anyway to party all night means to do
something you enjoy presumably with your
friends or not i guess i've partied like
all night at home i tweeted pajamas are
the best and then i tweeted a picture of
myself really excited about a cookie and
was very embarrassed about that the next
day so i deleted it in the morning since
i won't have school in the morning i'm
going to party all night in a different
sentence i don't like partying all night
i get tired
i always hit a wall at like 3 a.m
like i'm like yay and then 3 am i'm like
i'm ready to sleep to get a tan
to get a tan to get a tan
in some cultures this is a good thing in
some cultures it's not a good thing it
means to sit in the sun or lay in the
sun and let the sun
change the color of your skin be careful
there's there are two expressions in
english there is one to get a tan and
another is to get a sun burn so in u.s
culture anyway getting a tan means like
your skin turns like a darker brown
color but when it turns red it's bad
that means you've burned your skin so
tan good burn bad so we'd have two
separate words uh to describe that in a
sentence you'll find me poolside getting
a tan
to go hiking the next expression is to
go hiking so hiking means walking or
trekking usually in a mountain or in a
nature setting so in a sentence i used
to go hiking with my family every summer
that's
roughly true in this sentence i'm going
to hike the pacific crest trail
to work a part-time job the next
expression is to work a part-time job to
work a part-time job is very common if
you're a student especially so when you
have your summer vacation it's a chance
for you to earn a little bit of money by
working at a part-time job
uh in a sentence unfortunately she can't
go because she has to work at her
part-time job when i was a teenager i
had a part-time job at a golf course
yeah because i was on the golf team at
school very convenient lovely
experiences
a plus everybody
to have fun with friends
to have fun with friends also something
that you do not need to only do in
summer but which you can do
anytime we're having fun now aren't we
hey
so to have fun with friends is just to
enjoy time with your friends it's great
in a sentence i love having fun with my
friends whenever i can he has fun with
friends but he doesn't do much else
to attend summer school the next one is
to attend summer school to attend summer
school usually has kind of a bad image
and i feel in you in the u.s anyway
because it sounds like maybe you missed
something in regular school
but for some people maybe there's a
special course they want to attend or
like a special internship program or
just something special extra that they
would like to study in a sentence
i hated going to summer school when i
was a kid since i failed the class i'll
have to attend summer school so those
are 10 things that you can do in the
summer in the u.s or in many other
countries i think if there's something
that you like to do in the summer in
your country or in any country for that
matter let us know in the comments so

hey everyone i'm paris from
englishclass101.com in this video we're
talking about how to ask and give
directions
let's start to the left to the left
the first phrase is where is the
where is the for example you can ask
where is the bank this can be used to
ask for a general location or detailed
directions
don't be surprised if you only receive
basic information for example next to
the grocery store
the next phrase is
i need to go to the i need to go to the
for example you can say i need to go to
the police station
the word need is used but this is used
for non-emergencies as well
how do i get to the how do i get to the
for example you can say how do i get to
the museum
this question can be used to ask for
step-by-step directions instead of a
general location
is the
near here is the
near here for example you can say is the
library near here
if you're unfamiliar with an area you
can ask to get this information about a
specific place where you want to go
is the bathroom near here
excuse me do you know where the is
excuse me do you know where the
is
for example you can say excuse me do you
know where the park is only youth excuse
me when you're starting a conversation
with a stranger another common phrase is
is the far from here
is the
far from here for example you can say is
the post office from here
this is an indirect way to ask for
directions people will tell you how far
the place is and probably tell you the
best way to get there walking taking a
bus driving uber
now let's take a look at expressions to
give directions
turn left
turn left for example you can say turn
left after two blocks this gives you
information about how far you should go
before you make any changes in this case
you should go left to the left to the
left
turn right
turn right for example you can say turn
right at the third traffic light this
also gives you information about how far
you should go before taking another
action in this case you should go right
go straight
go straight this simply tells you to go
in one direction it also implies that if
you keep going straight that you will
eventually find what you're looking for
go past
go past for example you can say go past
the church
a landmark is just an easily noticeable
place for example a movie theater
restaurant
at the corner of at the corner of
for example you can say it's at the
corner of
this means that a place is located at
the corner where two streets meet
in front of
for example you can say the bus station
is in front of the supermarket
we use front to refer to the main
entrance of a building it can also mean
visible from the front and doesn't
necessarily mean it's directly in front
of something
behind
behind for example you can say the
parking lot is behind the movie theater
we use behind to say that something is
at the rear of a building
the front of a building is its main
entrance so which side it's facing the
street is really not important
next two
next two for example you can say the
restaurant is next to the park this is
an example of using a non-specific
location to give general directions
next two can be anywhere beside in front
of or around a place
mcdonald's is next to my house
between
for example you can say the store is
between the coffee shop and the pet
store
between is used with two other places
when using between the main place will
always be in the middle of the two other
places
