In today's video, I am in New York City, the city that never sleeps.

Future simple

Today, I'm a tourist visiting the Big Apple and will learn some basic English phrases and practice some common tourist situations.

So today, I will teach you 10 English phrases you need to know when you travel to the United States.

while traveling to find out the cost of something they want to do or see.

I want to go on a bus tour, so I asked, how much is one ticket?

And if you're planning to travel by train or subway, you can ask, how much is a ticket to find out the fare?

You can also use this phrase, how much is it? to ask about food prices.

And trust me, you'll need it in New York because prices can be all over the place.

The next phrase is, can you take a picture of me?

This is a phrase you'll use a lot when traveling, whether you're on your own or with a big group.

You'll want pictures to show your friends and family back home how much fun you're having in New York City.

Hi, excuse me, can you take a picture of me?

Don't be afraid to ask a stranger, can you take a picture of me?

It's a great way to get a good photo, and sometimes they might want you to take their photo too.

This next phrase you might need, especially when traveling to New York City is, do you speak English?

This phrase can be a lifesaver when you're in a difficult situation.

If you need help with something, you'll want to make sure you can communicate with the person you're asking.

Is a way to find someone who can understand you and help you.

You can also use this phrase if you speak another language.

For example, if you're in a big city like New York, with many people who speak different languages, you might find someone who can speak your native language.

For example, if my first language was Spanish, I would ask, do you speak Spanish?

But if your first language is Mandarin, Portuguese, French, etc., you can ask the same question in case you need help on the street.

You can use this phrase to find out where something is at.

For example, if you're at a restaurant and need to use the restroom, you can ask, where's the restroom?

Okay, straight the hallway and all the way down on the right side.

Excuse me, do you know where I can find an ATM?

You can also use this phrase if you need to find the subway.

It's a simple and direct way to get information to avoid getting lost in the city.

Okay, outside the door, cross the street, walk to the right.

I'm not from around here, but where is the nearest train station?

Okay, the closest one is going to be 34th Street, so this way.

Sometimes it's tough navigating a big city like New York, especially when your English isn't perfect.

It's easy to get lost, especially when people speak really fast.

If you struggle understanding native speakers, Lingoda can help.

Lingoda is an online language platform that offers live classes.

If you're interested in learning English, you can take a class, but Lingoda also has more languages.

Like, for example, they have business English, French, Italian, German, etc.

There are different learning paths that Lingoda offers.

Flex works best for me due to its 24-7 flexibility.

Each teacher will give you personalized guidelines and feedback during each class.

Something that really works for me is the amount of speaking time I get during the classes, thanks to their small group classes.

Are you planning on walking in today, the weekend?
