Hey guys! Are you excited at the thought of traveling or studying abroad, but at the same time you are worried that your spoken English will not be up to par, and you are afraid that you will become a representative of "dumb English" abroad? Don't worry, today I will share with you some commonly used spoken English when going abroad, which is guaranteed to make you easily cope with various occasions and become an "international person" in seconds!
1. Greetings and greetings
When you're abroad, whether it's asking for directions, shopping, or making new friends, saying hello is the first step. In addition to the basic "hello" and "hi", you can also try these more authentic expressions:
what's up?(How's it going?) ）
how's it going?(How's it going?) ）
nice to meet you!(Nice to meet you!) ）
Of course, don't forget to use "greatest!" after the other person answersOr "sounds good!.""to show that you heard and were happy.
The main factor is that there are too many people learning together, and the average time for each person to practice is too little, and the intensity of practice cannot be achieved, and the effect is very unsatisfactory, and even in some third- and fourth-tier cities, offline training class teachers are not good, and the teaching effect is not optimistic, so it is recommended that you choose an advantageous learning platform and learn in a better environment!
