Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting survival English vocabulary to help you if you are a tourist in an English speaking country.
Before starting, let me first explain that you’ll be listening to some useful English vocabulary, followed by an explanation and an example of how it is used.
So let’s start!

Man: Look there’s an information point, let’s see if they have a map.
Woman: How can I help you?
Man: Do you have any maps please?
Woman: Sure, here you are.
Man: Thank you.
Woman: A Department Store.

Woman: We did, look the men’s clothing section is over there.
Woman: A Travel Agency.
