Basic English for Vacation - Words and Phrases: Let's start easy with some basic words and phrases that you likely already know and use. I will say this word or phrase twice. Please listen closely to the word or phrase first, and then on the second time, repeat after me. E.g. please listen closely. Hello. Hi. Hey. Please repeat after me. Hello. Hi. Hey. Great job. Let's keep going. Please listen closely. My name is. Please repeat after me. My name is. Good morning. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Goodnight. Goodnight. Goodbye. Bye. Goodbye. Bye. See you later. See you soon. See you later. See you soon. Yes. Yes. No. No. Awesome. You're doing great. Let's keep going. Please listen closely. Please. Please repeat after me. Please. Thank you. Thank you. No, thank you. No, thank you. What is the difference between Thank you? No, thank you. If someone is offering you something such as coffee and you do want this coffee, you can say Thank you. But if you don't want this coffee, you can politely refuse it by saying no, thank you. You say no to refuse their offer, but also say thank you so that they understand you are grateful for their offer. Even though you don't want it. You're welcome. You're welcome. Excuse me. Excuse me.
