Everyone knows that when going on a trip abroad, it is advisable to learn or at least write down several spoken phrases in a foreign language that may be needed in different situations abroad. It’s quite difficult to learn phrases in English every time before traveling. different languages, depending on the country you are traveling to.

But as practice shows, if you “stock up” on several necessary expressions English language, then you will be understood in almost any country in the world. In any case, the staff at airports, hotels and most shops speak English to some extent in order to understand you and help you in difficult situations. And for this it is not at all necessary to learn letters, grammar, or devote hours English word and features of syntax.

So, what phrases might you need while traveling? We decided to compile a short English-Russian phrasebook of popular and most necessary expressions for tourists. It will be especially useful to those people who do not speak English, and for whom communication is a necessity. The phrasebook is also intended for those who always want to have a small hint in their pocket in order to feel more confident in a real communication situation.

Firstly, these are the phrases most commonly used in everyday life, including greeting and farewell:

You may need to call out to someone to ask a question:

They may answer you like this:

Travel is not only new places and attractions, but also new acquaintance. To do this you will need the following phrases:

Every journey begins with station and airport. You need to buy a ticket, check in for the flight (if you are traveling by plane), find out about the time and place of departure. This set of phrases is a real lifesaver for such cases:

Having arrived in another country, when settling in hotel You will also find a few common phrases useful. The topics of booking and checking into a hotel are among the most important not only within the phrasebook, but also during direct language learning.

After checking into the hotel, travelers go explore the city And to visit sights. A phrasebook (Russian-English) for tourists will help you in an unfamiliar city.

And of course, when traveling you should definitely visit cafe or restaurant to fully experience the spirit of another country, watch people, enjoy the atmosphere of an unfamiliar city, and try local cuisine. To do this, again, it is not necessary to have knowledge of English.

Here we have brought far full list useful phrases for tourists. Now you understand that it is possible to communicate with foreigners without speaking the language. For the convenience of travelers who do not know English at all, the list of phrases contains transcriptions of sentences in Russian.

You can find more complete English with pronunciation on our website - you have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with it absolutely free. All phrases in the phrasebook are voiced by a professional speaker. In addition, by completing the exercises that come with the phrasebook, you will be able to learn all the necessary words and remember phrases that you will probably need on your trip - the materials will help you express yourself well and communicate with native speakers.

People who start learning a foreign language often have problems defining their goals. Many people want to learn English because “everyone knows it” or they brush it off: “For me to travel,” “For me to work.” But if you set yourself such a global goal and do not divide it into several small ones, you will soon lose interest in the process. As you dive into the language, the grammar becomes more and more complex, and if you really need English for travel and nothing more, then there is no need to complicate your life and analyze in detail the rules of use, for example, gerunds and infinitives.

In a series of articles “What to teach?” we will try to narrow down the list of topics that you need to study for a particular purpose. Today we'll focus on travel and look at what you need to know to drive around the world with peace of mind.

About the (in)admissibility of mistakes

You don't need to be fluent in the language to travel. Russian students have a complex, which apparently is instilled in school: if you speak with mistakes, no one will understand you! But this is not so. Imagine that a foreigner approached you and said something like: “Excuse me, how do you walk around Palace Square?” What does he want? Walk to Palace Square. What was his task? Ask you for directions. Despite the fact that the phrase is constructed with errors, you will understand what they want from you. It will be the same story with you abroad. Your task is to make yourself understood, and for this you do not need to speak at the level of a native speaker. So be bold, smile, ask questions politely, and don't be afraid to ask the person to speak more slowly and repeat what they said.

Your level

If we look at the CEFR, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, the elementary level is considered to be level A, which is divided into A1 (survival level) and A2 (pre-threshold level). A confident A2 is enough for you to easily communicate on familiar topics and feel confident in typical tourist situations: in a hotel, on an airplane, in a restaurant, etc.

Grammar

As we noted above, you don’t need to know extremely complex rules. But don’t consider yourself stupid if you don’t know them. Here's an example from Russian grammar: “A case adjacency is spoken of if the dependent name expresses an adverbial or attributive meaning, and the form of the dependent is not predetermined in any way by the main word.” Well, is everything clear? But this is a school course, and you are probably a native Russian speaker and studied it at school. But for some reason, at home, you don’t want to complicate your life, but when you start learning English, you think that you can’t live without the third type of conditional sentences.

So what is our ultimate grammar program if you're learning English for travel?

There are two main tenses in the English language (and historically two in principle, other constructions are not exactly tenses from a grammatical point of view). Present Simple will help describe any action in the present, Past Simple - in the past. You need to learn at least 50 of the most frequently used irregular verbs, ideally 100. Here is a link to the 50 most necessary ones. Times are similar to each other, the main thing here is to realize the eternal presence of the verb to be and the presence auxiliary verb in negatives and questions.

2. Future Simple and to be going to*

The simplest designation of the future. There is no future tense as such in English, and there are more than 10 ways to convey it. If you learn the Future Simple, you won't have any problems. You won't be able to convey shades of meaning, but you can easily convey the main idea. However, you can significantly expand your horizons by mastering the phrase to be going to*. In several cases it is interchangeable with the usual Future Simple, and in other phrases it helps to more accurately convey the meaning (by all indications, something is about to happen, or someone is just about to do something).

3. Present Continuous*

An assignment with an asterisk*, as it used to be at school. Theoretically, you can do without this time. But it would be better to know it, if only because with its help you can say what you are doing right now. It is also used to denote the near future, which is also useful if you want to expand your arsenal of ways to convey the future.

4.Can/could

These are basic modal verbs and will help you talk about what you can do. Could will also give you the opportunity to ask polite questions and ask for help: Could you help me, please?

5. would like to vs like

Would like to is a wording without which not a single reservation or order in a cafe or restaurant can be made. It means “I would like to.” Not to be confused with the usual like doing something - “I like/I like to do something.”

6. Prepositions of time in/on/at

Do not translate them under any circumstances! Prepositions are the most difficult topic in all foreign languages. Just learn the rules and learn to distinguish between these three prepositions, because they will greatly help you when booking flights and tables - IN the evening, but AT 6 P.M.

7. Prepositions of place If something happens, they will help you describe where everything was or is. They are also useful when explaining the route to attractions.

8. Countable and uncountable nouns and words denoting quantities The notorious much/many/a lot of, few/a few, little/a little are much easier to master if you understand what nouns come after them. Don't forget about some/any. All these words are indispensable when buying food at the local market, for example. Or if you need to clarify the price.

9. Turnover there is/there are It doesn’t exist in Russian, but in English you will definitely need it. The question “Is there a pharmacy nearby?” should be asked precisely through this phrase: “Is there a pharmacy near here?”

10. Demonstrative pronouns this, those, these, that If you suddenly need to point to something, then you will definitely need these pronouns.

11. Possessive adjectives my, our, his, her, its, your, their and possessive ‘s* Pronouns are needed everywhere and always: “You took my place, yours is next”, “This is not our order”, etc. For those who like to delve deeper into the topic, you can master possessive’s - a special “additive” to names or nouns to show ownership. For example, Mary’s ticket - Car ticket, driver’s seat - driver’s seat.

12. Basic rules use of articles Things are always bad with articles. They don't exist in Russian, and it's hard for you to figure out how to use them in English. Familiarize yourself with the general principles, this will be enough for you. The meaning of what is said does not always depend on the presence of an article, so you will be understood without them. If you want to complicate your task, look at how articles are used with place names and streets.

13. Comparative and superlative adjectives* Another task with an asterisk. If you like the food from a street vendor, you can tell him: “Your hot-dogs are the best!”

Of course, the list can be continued, but the basic minimum, even without our suggestions with asterisks, is enough for you to ask a simple question and get a simple answer.

Vocabulary

Without new words, nowhere. Therefore, be sure to build all your examples around new words to master the rules of grammar. Learn the word “bus” and ask several questions with it at once to remember it better: Where is the bus stop? I need bus number 6. Is this the bus to Green Street?

• Things in town and asking for directions(what are the names of different places in the city and how to ask/explain directions).
• Airport(make sure you understand what the signs say. What if you are late for your flight and run in the wrong direction? Also go through the questions that border officials may ask you and the possible answers. By the way, we have from a native speaker, dedicated to the vocabulary you will need at the airport).
• Traveling by train/bus(all about tickets and how to ask about final stations, transfers, etc.).
• Hot l (learn the names of basic items, in case they forget to give you fresh towels or don’t clean your room).
• Car Rental(if you drive and are going to rent a car) or Taxi (how to call, how to pay).
• Food and restaurants(how to order, how to ask about ingredients. If you have allergies, we strongly recommend that you learn the phrase “I’m allergic to” and the name of the allergen and be sure to warn the waiters).
• Medicine(the most basic points: parts of the body, how to tell where something hurts or is broken, how to make a purchase at a pharmacy. Be sure to clarify how to call an ambulance and contact your insurance service from the country you are traveling to).
• Leisure activities(if you are relaxing by the sea, you may be interested in entertainment. For example, surfing, paragliding, windsurfing, diving, etc. Practice questions with the right words in advance so that you know how to find instructors and understand what they tell you).
• Shopping(names of items, payment methods, how to make a return or get a discount).

Find a travel guide for the country you're traveling to in English. See how the names of attractions are read. Sometimes they sound completely different in Russian than in English.

Go to YouTube and look for travel videos from native speakers. You may not learn any new words, but you will practice listening comprehension.

You've probably already heard about phrasal verbs - those that change their meaning if they are followed by a preposition or adjective. For some reason, native English speakers prefer to use exclusively phrasal verbs. Have you learned the verb? leave, and instead it will be go out, get out, run away and other combinations. Phrasal verbs are useful at any level and will make your speech more natural, so read the collections regularly or, if you're a traditionalist, try out the latest edition of the classic. Phrasal Verbs in Use from Cambridge University Press. Well, we, too, have not lagged behind the leaders and have prepared for you and. The girls will tell you about phrasal verbs that will come in handy while traveling. Well, for those who find phrasal verbs too simple, we invite you to look at Nastya about the topics related to the topic “Travel”.

It would also be a good idea to look for a video about the version of the language you are about to hear. For example, Italian English or Greek English. In textbooks and educational videos, you often hear refined British or polished American English, and you may simply not understand what the same Italians with their strong accent are trying to tell you. And if you are traveling to an English-speaking country, then feel free to type the language option into the search bar: Canadian English, Australian English and others to get used to the accent in advance.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. We share with you only the necessary material, and this time we present to your attention the English phrases necessary for communicating abroad.

Your holiday will be much calmer and better quality when you know what to say in a given situation, because they can be unpredictable. Finding out the way, asking for help, understanding a sign, or just chatting is something every tourist should know. So let's get down to business.

Big and friendly EnglishDom family

Okay, yes, know, ay dont speak English is the most basic set of words from the English language, which almost everyone has. However, this is not enough to travel independently. “Why then go somewhere on your own without knowing the language?” - you ask. But why.

What is our dictionary for?

For example, you live in Thailand and really miss your family and friends. And so, finally, you decide to invite your parents, friends, brothers, sisters, or, to be honest, your beloved mother-in-law! And what?
