00:00Hello and welcome back to English Released, your space to listen, repeat, follow along,
00:06and practice English at a calm and natural pace. I'm John and I'm happy you're here today.
00:13In this episode, I'll speak slowly. I'll use simple and clear sentences, repeating ideas
00:21so that you can shadow my voice, practice speaking, and build your confidence step by step.
00:29Today's topic is how to use English in shopping situations, not just random expressions,
00:37but full conversations. How do you ask for the price? How do you ask for a different size?
00:43How do you talk to staff in stores or restaurants? By the end of this episode, you'll be able to shop
00:50in English using natural and direct phrases. Let's begin. Why is practicing English for shopping so
00:57important? Because shopping is part of everyone's routine, whether at the supermarket, a clothing
01:04store, or a cafe. These situations happen all the time. You don't need to discuss politics or science.
01:12You just need to know useful phrases like, how much does it cost? Do you have another size?
01:19Can I pay by card? When you practice these expressions, you learn real English, the kind of English you can
01:28use right away. And here's the most important part. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to try
01:36and keep practicing. When you speak English in everyday moments, your thinking adjusts,
01:42your responses get faster, and your confidence grows. Imagine you walk into a store. The store
01:50clerk asks, Can I help you? If you've practiced before, you can answer, Yes, I'm looking for a t-shirt.
01:59Or, No, thank you, I'm just looking around. There you go. That's already a real conversation.
02:07Simple. Useful. Real communication. Now let's practice some basic phrases. Repeat slowly with me,
02:17as if you were my shadow. How much does this cost? Repeat.
02:23That's too expensive. Repeat.
02:28Do you have it in a larger size? Repeat.
02:31Do you have it in a smaller size? Repeat.
02:41Can I try it on? Repeat.
02:45Where is the changing room? Repeat.
02:51I like this style. Repeat.
02:56I don't like the color. Repeat.
03:01Do you have it in black? Repeat.
03:06Can I pay by credit card? Repeat.
03:12Now let's practice with a short story.
03:15I walk into a clothing store.
03:17I see a jacket.
03:19I ask,
03:19How much does this cost?
03:22The shop assistant says,
03:23It's $30.
03:25I ask,
03:26Can I try it on?
03:27I go to the changing room.
03:29It fits well.
03:30I buy the jacket.
03:32Pause for a moment.
03:34And remember.
03:36The more you repeat these phrases,
03:38the more English becomes a part of you.
03:40It doesn't matter if it feels simple or even repetitive.
03:44That's exactly what builds confidence
03:46and makes English feel natural
03:48in your everyday life.
03:51Keep going with me.
03:52Each phrase now is one more step
03:54toward your fluency.
03:56In the afternoon,
03:57we can practice English at the supermarket.
04:01Even if you don't have much time,
04:03you can still repeat simple phrases.
04:05Repeat slowly with me like a shadow.
