Pocket dictionary of English phrases for tourists. Spoken English for tourists

English is the universal language of the world community, spoken in many countries.

English is spoken in the United States and Canada, Great Britain and Ireland, India, Pakistan and Malta, New Zealand, Australia and some African countries. English is recognized as the official language of communication.

There are many varieties of the English dialect: Canadian, New Zealand, African, Cockney (the dialect of some areas of London).

And this is only a small part of the countries where English is spoken. Considering how rapidly international relations between countries are developing, and how the inhabitants of the planet are increasingly traveling around the world, it must be recognized that without knowledge of a generally recognized international language modern man loses a lot in understanding the life, history and culture of other countries.

Traveling to... English-speaking countries, especially those rich in historical and cultural relics.

Before traveling abroad, it would be a good idea to take care of ways to communicate with representatives of another state and mentality.

In this case, a foreign language phrasebook can be a wonderful help for tourists, vacationers and business people.

It will help you build communication with foreigners at least at a minimum level: ask for something, tell about yourself, choose the right product, order food in a restaurant.

The phrasebook is an irreplaceable book; it contains standard phrases, cliches of questions and answers, the most common in communication between people.

As a rule, the material in the phrasebook is divided into several sections on commonly used topics: greetings, transport, train stations, restaurants, hotels, shopping, dates and times, and many other situations.

A great convenience for the modern tourist is that the phrasebook can be downloaded to a mobile phone or iPhone; you can also purchase a colorfully designed phrasebook - a guidebook, which contains a list of addresses of attractions, phone numbers, price lists and other important details.

The phrasebook includes expressions and words used in England, the United States and other English-speaking countries. Pronunciation transcriptions given along with Russian and English words greatly facilitate the correct reading of words, which makes communication more accessible and easier.

English is not difficult to learn, since words do not change according to gender and case. Therefore, if you simply take words from the dictionary, it is quite possible to compose a whole sentence.

To convert a word to plural, you just need to add the suffix “s” to it. There are exceptions, of course.

For example, mispronouncing long and short vowels can cause misunderstandings because the pronunciation changes the meaning of the word. Therefore, the pronunciation of a long vowel is marked in the transcription with a colon.

Words in English and their pronunciation

By studying words and phrases from a phrasebook, you can learn to speak correctly and at the same time expand your knowledge of English vocabulary.

Hello, dear friend!

So, are you interested in spoken English for tourists - phrases and expressions, and maybe even whole sentences? Then I’m almost sure that everything is fine with you now and your mood “ suitcase" Why? Yes because useful expressions only tourists are looking for tourists)).

A few years ago, my friend went on vacation to Europe, she thought that she would see all the beauty there, visit the most famous museums... It didn’t work out - after all, before the trip she didn’t even bother to stock up elementary phrases in English, not to mention picking up a textbook or phrasebook. I thought that they would understand her on the fingers and relied on our Russian maybe.

As a result, she stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks, only going out a couple of times to the neighboring street for shopping, although according to her, it didn’t really work out. She admitted that she had never felt so stupid and insecure. Yes, it’s not a very pleasant feeling, I’ll tell you!

To avoid it, it won’t hurt you (it really won’t hurt you!) to read this article. It will be divided into 2 parts. In the first part , that is, on this page, you get acquainted with basic English expressions and questions , which will definitely come in handy on any foreign trip. All of them will have translation and pronunciation (audio for each phrase) - you can practice them online and without leaving the cash register.

In general, let's practice to the fullest!

So let's start with

Basic rules

  • Politeness and once again politeness, to express which use the phrases:
    — Please (when asking for something) – Tell me, please, where I can find a hairdresser’s
    — You are welcome (when responding to gratitude)
    — Excuse me (when you want to ask or ask for something) – Excuse me, could you help me with the bus?
    — (I'm) Sorry (when expressing regret)
  • If you wish ask permission or ask about the possibility (probability) of something, use the construction Can I.../May I... ?
    Can I open the window? (ask for permission)
    Can I change my ticket? (asking about the possibility)
  • If you ask someone for something, use the construction Could you... ?
    Could you give me a new towel?

The English language can greatly “make your life easier” during a trip, because it is used in every country. How to quickly learn English for tourists, where to start and what to devote maximum time to - we will tell you about this in our article.

Why do you need to learn English for tourists?

Learn English and travel the world in comfort. Knowing English gives you a number of advantages and will help you out in difficult situations. Here are three main advantages of knowing English when traveling:

  1. Safety

    English is understood in almost every country in the world, so it can help you out in unexpected situations. For example, if you get lost in a foreign city, you can ask the locals for directions. In some cases, knowing English can save your health: if you need medical help, you will be able to call it yourself and explain what happened to you.

  2. Saving

    English will help you save on ticket prices, at hotels and in the market.

    • Tickets. It is much more profitable to book them on airline websites - there you purchase tickets directly. When you purchase them from a travel company, you have to pay a brokerage fee. Read our phrasebook on the topic “”, and you won’t have any difficulties!
    • It’s also more profitable to book a hotel yourself, or even better - find a good hostel and check into it, it’s much cheaper than a hotel room. Thanks to your knowledge of English, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the rules of the hotel or hostel, find out which services are free and which ones will have to pay a tidy sum. You will also be able to communicate with other neighboring travelers and find out from them what interesting places are worth visiting, where it is profitable to buy souvenirs, etc. And if you still decide to stay at a hotel, then study our phrase book “” so that without problems booking a room and communicating with the staff.

A vacation according to a personal plan is always the most successful and exciting, don’t miss this opportunity. By the way, don’t forget to learn before your trip useful phrases from our article “” to easily get to the place you need in any country.

1. Set aside 1-2 hours a day for classes

The best way to quickly learn English before traveling is to study for at least 60 minutes every day. If you have a busy work schedule, try to devote at least 30 minutes a day to learning English, and study for 1-2 hours two or three days a week.

2. If possible, study with a teacher

If you are not constrained by financial resources, it is better to work with. An experienced mentor will create the right intensive training program and give you valuable recommendations on mastering the English language. With it you will practice the acquired theoretical knowledge.

3. Take lessons from a native speaker

If you are going to English-speaking countries, you can try to study with a native speaker from this country (if your level of English is at least confident). Then you will not only improve your English, but also learn interesting and useful details about the culture and customs of the country.

4. Attend English speaking clubs

Before the trip, you need to “conversate” in English. While you are preparing for your trip, try to find and visit an English speaking club at least 1-2 times. Attending the event is cheap, and the topics discussed are varied. And most importantly, such meetings are almost always attended by a native speaker. You can listen to the sound of English speech from the lips of a foreigner.

Words and phrases you need to prepare for your trip

1. Identify the words you will need to learn

If you decide to learn English for traveling on your own, think about what you will do, which countries to travel through, which places to visit. Remember how you traveled to the cities of your native country, what words you used when booking a hotel room, for shopping in stores, on excursions. You will need to learn the vocabulary of this topic. You can write down the necessary words and phrases in Russian in a notebook, then look for their translation into English and learn.

2. Use thematic phrasebooks

Thematic phrasebooks can and should be used. Not during a trip, when there is no time to search for the right phrase, but when preparing for a trip. Read the dialogues out loud, see how the sentence is constructed, what words are used. And most importantly, learn useful phrases from the phrasebook by heart. For example, we introduced simple phrasebooks for travelers and for which it will be convenient for you to prepare for your trip. Also you can use printed edition, preferably with a CD where the dialogues are voiced, or you can take phrases from the resources: talkenglish.com (thematic dialogues are voiced), edition.englishclub.com (phrases selected by topic). Pay attention to the article “Hotel Guide: Learning English for Travel”. It contains typical dialogues; it is best to memorize phrases from them.

3. Think about safety

Think ahead about unexpected situations and learn phrases related to asking for help. If you are studying with a teacher, ask the teacher to teach you “saving” phrases. You should know them by heart, such statements can save your life in case of danger.

What else is advisable to do before your trip?

1. Review basic grammar

English grammar is also worth paying attention to. Even if you have little time to prepare, review at least the basics: sentence order, three simple tenses, degrees of comparison of adjectives, etc.

Watching a video or listening to a related podcast is another way to develop your listening comprehension while learning useful phrases. You can watch many interesting videos with subtitles on the topic “Travel” on the website englishcentral.com, and you can listen to podcasts on the resource eslpod.com (several materials from this site are freely available; a paid account is required to use other podcasts).

3. Test your knowledge

To check how well you have mastered the vocabulary and learned the necessary expressions, test your knowledge at learnenglishfeelgood.com. Take the tests several times - gradually you will remember additional vocabulary and useful phrases from the exercises.

4. Familiarize yourself with sign language

Remember: to start speaking English, you must learn about thirty basic phrases. But only. These include greetings and farewells, expressions of gratitude, apologies, questions such as: “Where is it?”, “Could you help me?”, “How much does it cost?”, “How is this in English?”, “Is this for me?” I don’t like it”, “It’s expensive”, standard answers: “Yes”, “No”, “I don’t understand”, words indicating the time of day, as well as the closest time periods in relation to this (see the “Time” section). And, of course, remember the saving grace: “Please call an ambulance (policeman)!”

“What happiness! I'm finally going on vacation! For the first time in my life - not to the sunny Crimea, but imagine, to Antalya, Greece, the Canary Islands! " - you say to your friends and then involuntarily stop short under the stern gaze of some skeptic. “What are you going to do there, dear, without a tongue? What if you get lost? And look for the fistulas of the wind in Iola...” You bitterly complain about the villainous fate, and mainly about your own laziness, which did not allow you to master not only Turkish and Greek, but also at least English - a language that is rightly called a language international communication and which is understandable everywhere, even there. where Turkish and Greek are mainly spoken.
