Sarah and Mike sit down for a slow, easy English conversation about stopping a stranger politely, understanding the answer, and finding the place you are looking for. If you travel, walk to work in a new area, or help visitors in your own town, this daily English conversation gives you the words you really need on the street. Have you ever asked someone for directions and then walked away with no idea what they said? In this friendly English podcast you will practise starting with "Excuse me, sorry to bother you", saying "Sorry, I'm not from here" so people slow down, following simple instructions like "Go straight ahead" and "two blocks to the junction", using landmarks such as a green pharmacy sign or a bright green door, understanding words like opposite, crossing and fork in the road, and asking "Could you say it a bit slower, please?" when the answer comes too fast. This episode is perfect for A2 English learners who want to build real-life speaking confidence, everyday street vocabulary and polite ways to ask a stranger for help when they are lost. 💡 Tip: Before you leave home today, say your route out loud in English using landmarks. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:03 Ask for Directions in English 2:18 Asking Strangers Politely for Help 3:30 Everyday Words for Streets and Corners 4:47 Describing Where Places Are 11:21 Speaking Practice 12:04 Vocabulary Review & Next Episode 📚 Vocabulary in this episode • landmark: a big thing you can see and remember • opposite: on the other side, facing something • pedestrian: a person walking, not driving • crossing: the safe place to walk across a road • just aroun…","meta_description":"Getting lost in a new city is normal, and asking for directions in English is a skill you can practise today.
