Hey everyone!Welcome back to my YouTube channel.In today's video, I am in New York CityToday I'm a tourist visiting the Big Appleand we'll learn some basic English phrasesand 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.

The first phrase is: "How much is it?".People ask "How much is it?" while traveling to find out the cost of something they want to do or see.For example:How much is one ticket for a bus ride?-Uh it depends on where you going.Okay probably downtown. How much is a ticket?-Downtown, $59$59?-Yes.

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.

How much is it for one hot dog?-$4.$4, okay thank you.Hi, how are you?Um how much is it for a slice of pizza?-It's over there.

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?-Sure no problem.Can you take a picture of me? Thank you.Thank you!

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.So "Do you speak English?" is a way to find someone who can understand you and help you.

Excuse me do you speak English?-Yes I speak English.

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?".

Hi, do you speak Spanish?-I speak three languages.Hablas español? (Do you speak Spanish)-Si (Yes).Hi do you speak Spanish?-Spanish?Español, si?-Cuanto cuesta un vaso de sandia?$5

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

The next question is "Where is it?".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?".

Where's the restroom?-Right behind the bar.Thank you!Hi, excuse me do you work here?-Yes.Um where is the nearest restroom?-Sure just go straight the hallway, you go all the way down your right side.-Okay straight the hallway and all the way down on the right side.Thank you.

Where is the closest Starbucks?-Starbucks?Over there, oh thank you!

Excuse me do you know where I can find an ATM?-ATM?Yeah, I just got here.-Do they have it in that deli?I have no idea. My ATM I just go to Chase.You go to Chase over there?-There's a Chase. If you go straight you'll find a Chase.Okay, thank you. Thanks!

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.

Hi, where is the subway for Train F?-Train F? It's at Briant Park.You know where Briant Park is?-No where is that at?Outside the door here, cross the street, walk to your right.-Okay outside the door, cross the street, walk to the right. Thank you!

Hi excuse me I'm not from around here but where is the nearest train station?Uh train station? Like subway?-Yeah the subway yeah.Okay, the closest one is going to be 34th Street.-Over there 34th Street? Okay.Okay, thank you.-Yeah no problem.
