🎧 Are you eager to chat with English-speaking tourists in your city, or strike up a conversation while you're traveling? Welcome to a brand new episode of High Level Listening! Today, we’re going to teach you how to seamlessly break the ice and engage with visitors using high-level English phrases and questions that are friendly and helpful.

With their side-by-side American and British English, you’ll learn how to offer assistance, give recommendations, and wish tourists well on their journey.
What we cover:

Thanks so much for watching today! Happy to have you here ☺️ and good to hear you enjoyed it
The subtitles in your previous videos had extra emphasis on the words... so that the words that come out of your mouth when you speak are emphasized in the subtitles. I wish that feature had stayed, everyone is adding subtitles, but it was a different nice innovation...

We liked it too! Until we watched lots of videos and it started to hurt our eyes along with other students, so we removed it and it was easier on the eyes. 😌
Hello. This video has been perfect. Thank you so much

I listen to your episode everyday when I am on the way home or commuting to work. It is just a perfect combination of your voices as I am able to learn both the US and UK accents in one shot.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment - we're really glad you've been finding our episodes useful! We will add the punctuation lesson to our list of student suggestions!
Thanks Kat and Mark, lovely episode, with lots of great conscise phrases anyone can use. Very handy when we need directions in a big city, where we can feel threatened to interrupt the busy locals with our questions. Thanks very much.

That's so great to hear! That's exactly why we chose these kinds of phrases, in another language it's really hard to know if a phrase is quite "blunt" or more polite.
Thanks for give me the opportunity for practice, study and learn with you, really I'm feeling so happy taking tour classes. Thanks very much.

This episode has been so great!!! ❤❤❤ well, all of them have... 😂 The main attraction in my town is the river... the Limay river. It's also near the oil field Vaca Muerta, if you are into the oil &gas business... and where's oil, there's a Museum of Dinosaurs... it's a small one, but great to show the ancients inhabitants of these lands 😂. Come to see them!!!

That's a good question and a common worry. We recommended throughout the episode to start with "Sorry" or "Excuse me" - this will be more polite and hopefully avoid making the situation awkward! Thanks so much for watching us once again!
