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 only tourists look for useful expressions 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 main 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

— 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...
?
