00:05Una domanda che vorrei farvi è, vi è mai capitato di andare dal medico?
00:10Magari siete all'estero, siete in un viaggio, accade un'emergenza e non sapete come chiedere aiuto?
00:15Ce lo spiegano i nostri amici di BritishCenter.com

00:21Hi everyone, have you ever been in a situation in which you needed a doctor abroad and you didn't know how to talk to him?
00:32Here are some useful tips
00:34The first one is, you get into the office and you say something like, I have an appointment at... and then you say the time
00:40The second one is the time in which you describe what are your symptoms
00:45And so you could say something like, I feel healed or I got a headache, I got a toothache, something like that
00:50Then you can ask them if you need a medicine and so you could ask something like, do I need a prescription?
00:58And in case you need a prescription, then you're also going to need a pharmacy and so you can ask something like, where's the pharmacy?
01:07If you want to speak as a native speaker, you should start by switching some basic words with the words that are actually in a slang
01:15And I'm going to suggest you some
01:16The first one is to hang out and to hang out means to go around with your friends
01:22So for example, if somebody asks you what you like doing, you can say something like, I like hanging out with my friends
01:28Another one, which is still connected to this one, is to chill
01:31What is to chill?
01:32It is simply another way to say that you are relaxing
01:35So I'm chilling, it's the same as I'm relaxing
01:38Another one could be, what a bummer
01:41A bummer, it's something that is really annoying, something that you don't like
01:45So for example, you can say, having to study all weekend, it's a real bummer
01:51And another expression that British people usually use, it's liney
01:57Which is an exclamation of surprise
02:00A funny way to learn pronunciation is English, it's through tongue twisters
02:07The one that we're going to say together today, it's about the sounds W and CH
02:13And it goes like this
02:15Let's say it together
02:16How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
02:23It would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood
02:28How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
02:35It would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood
