No fluff, just examples you can repeat out loud right away. Because on a trip, what helps most is not knowing the finer points of <em>present perfect continuous passive<\/em>, but being able to say: \u201cIs this the right platform?\u201d or \u201cWhere can I leave my luggage?\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>1. The most important phrases to start with<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s begin with a few sentences that save the day more often than a power bank:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Excuse me, where is\u2026?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Przepraszam, gdzie jest\u2026?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could you help me, please?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy m\u00f3g\u0142by mi Pan \/ Pani pom\u00f3c?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I\u2019m looking for\u2026<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Szukam\u2026<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>How much is it?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Ile to kosztuje?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Can I pay by card?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mog\u0119 zap\u0142aci\u0107 kart\u0105?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could you say that again, please?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy m\u00f3g\u0142by Pan \/ Pani powt\u00f3rzy\u0107?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I don\u2019t understand.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Nie rozumiem.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could you speak more slowly, please?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy m\u00f3g\u0142by Pan \/ Pani m\u00f3wi\u0107 wolniej?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are phrases that work in almost any situation. <a href=\"https:\/\/learnenglish.britishcouncil.org\/free-resources\/speaking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">British Council<\/a> points out that it is worth learning useful phrases for specific situations and practising them in real life instead of just reading them. That is very good news for everyone who prefers speaking to endless \u201cgoing through the material\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>2. At the airport and on the plane<\/h2>\n<p>The airport has its own language, and sometimes it sounds like a secret code for people with suitcases. Luckily, you only need a few words. Cambridge says that <strong><em>luggage<\/em><\/strong> means baggage, that is, bags, suitcases, and other things we take on a trip; in British English, it is a very natural word. ([dictionary.cambridge.org](https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/luggage?utm_source=openai))<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Where is the check-in desk?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Gdzie jest stanowisko odprawy?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Where is the security check?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Gdzie jest kontrola bezpiecze\u0144stwa?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Where is the departure gate?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Gdzie jest bramka odlot\u00f3w?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>My luggage is missing.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 M\u00f3j baga\u017c zagin\u0105\u0142.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>My flight is delayed.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 M\u00f3j lot jest op\u00f3\u017aniony.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Where can I collect my luggage?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Gdzie mog\u0119 odebra\u0107 baga\u017c?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Is this the right gate for flight\u2026?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy to w\u0142a\u015bciwa bramka dla lotu\u2026?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the plane, this may also be useful:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Could I have some water, please?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mog\u0119 prosi\u0107 o wod\u0119?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could I change my seat?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mog\u0119 zmieni\u0107 miejsce?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Where is the lavatory?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Gdzie jest toaleta?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to sound polite, <strong><em>could I<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>could you<\/em><\/strong> are a safe choice. When travelling, politeness often works better than nervously waving your boarding pass like a victory flag.<\/p>\n<h2>3. In a hotel and for an overnight stay<\/h2>\n<p>A hotel is a place where you finally want to rest, and then suddenly you have to talk. So it is good to have a few simple sentences ready:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>I have a reservation.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Mam rezerwacj\u0119.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I\u2019d like to check in.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Chcia\u0142bym \/ chcia\u0142abym si\u0119 zameldowa\u0107.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I\u2019d like to check out.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Chcia\u0142bym \/ chcia\u0142abym si\u0119 wymeldowa\u0107.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>What time is breakfast?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 O kt\u00f3rej jest \u015bniadanie?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could I have an extra towel, please?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mog\u0119 prosi\u0107 o dodatkowy r\u0119cznik?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>The air conditioning is not working.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Klimatyzacja nie dzia\u0142a.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need to leave your luggage, you can say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Can I leave my luggage here?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mog\u0119 tu zostawi\u0107 baga\u017c?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Is there a luggage room?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy jest przechowalnia baga\u017cu?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is worth remembering that <strong><em>luggage<\/em><\/strong> is very useful in hotels and at airports. <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/luggage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cambridge<\/a> describes it as baggage taken on a trip, and British English especially likes this word.<\/p>\n<h2>4. In a restaurant and caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>When you travel, food can be just as important as sightseeing. Sometimes even more important, because after a whole day of walking, a person suddenly discovers that they are not a camel. So this will come in handy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>A table for two, please.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Stolik dla dw\u00f3ch os\u00f3b, prosz\u0119.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could we have the menu, please?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mo\u017cemy prosi\u0107 o menu?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>What do you recommend?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Co Pan \/ Pani poleca?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I\u2019m vegetarian.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Jestem wegetarianinem \/ wegetariank\u0105.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Can I have the bill, please?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mog\u0119 prosi\u0107 o rachunek?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could we get some tap water?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy mo\u017cemy prosi\u0107 o wod\u0119 z kranu?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The word <strong><em>bill<\/em><\/strong> can also be useful in a British restaurant. In the USA, you will more often hear <strong><em>check<\/em><\/strong>. When travelling, it is good to know both, so you do not end up with a bill in your eyes instead of on the table.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18394\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18394\" style=\"width: 539px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18394 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/speakingo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/i-would-like-to-angielskie-zwroty-dialogi-w-restauracji-meanwhile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"539\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/speakingo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/i-would-like-to-angielskie-zwroty-dialogi-w-restauracji-meanwhile.jpg 539w, https:\/\/speakingo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/i-would-like-to-angielskie-zwroty-dialogi-w-restauracji-meanwhile-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Patrz r\u00f3wnie\u017c:\u00a0<span data-speakingo-link=\"18377\">&#8220;I would like to&#8221; czyli dialog w restauracji po angielsku<\/span><!--speakingo-link-end--><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<h2>5. Asking for directions<\/h2>\n<p>Phone navigation helps, but sometimes you are still standing still and looking at a map as if it were a work of modern art. Then basic phrases for asking for directions come in handy. In its materials on communication in English, the British Council encourages practising these short, practical dialogues. ([learnenglish.britishcouncil.org](https:\/\/learnenglish.britishcouncil.org\/free-resources\/speaking?utm_source=openai))<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Excuse me, how do I get to the station?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Przepraszam, jak doj\u015b\u0107 na dworzec?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Is it far from here?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy to daleko st\u0105d?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Should I go left or right?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Powinienem i\u015b\u0107 w lewo czy w prawo?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Is it within walking distance?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy da si\u0119 tam doj\u015b\u0107 pieszo?<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could you show me on the map?<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Czy m\u00f3g\u0142by mi Pan \/ Pani pokaza\u0107 na mapie?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If someone answers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Go straight ahead.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Prosto przed siebie.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Turn left.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Skr\u0119\u0107 w lewo.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Turn right.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Skr\u0119\u0107 w prawo.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>It\u2019s next to the bank.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 To jest obok banku.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>It\u2019s opposite the station.<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 To jest naprzeciwko stacji.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are exactly the kind of ready-made language chunks that stay in your head best.

On the train, bus, and taxi<\/h2>\n<p>Public transport is a travel classic.

Mini travel vocabulary<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a small set of words that often come up when travelling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>airport<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 lotnisko<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>station<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 dworzec \/ stacja<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>platform<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 peron<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>gate<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 bramka<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>reservation<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 rezerwacja<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>ticket<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 bilet<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>map<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 mapa<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>direction<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 kierunek<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>tourist information<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 informacja turystyczna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You do not need to know everything at once. When travelling, the \u201clittle but often\u201d method works best \u2014 and definitely out loud.<\/p>\n<h2>Exercise: answer in a full sentence<\/h2>\n<p>Try saying the answers out loud in English. Not in one word, but in a full sentence.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Where is the lavatory?<\/li>\n<li>Could I have some water, please?<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019d like to check in.<\/li>\n<li>How do I get to the station?<\/li>\n<li>Does this bus go to the city centre?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Answers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><em>Where is the lavatory?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Could I have some water, please?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I\u2019d like to check in.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>How do I get to the station?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Does this bus go to the city centre?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why does it work?<\/h2>\n<p>Because when you travel, you do not need poetry \u2014 you need automation. When you learn whole sentences, it is easier to reproduce them in a real situation later. The British Council and communication-learning materials regularly stress the value of practising specific phrases in context, not just dry vocabulary lists.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to turn passive knowledge into real speaking, practise out loud: listen to the question, answer in a full sentence, correct yourself, and repeat. That kind of practice builds confidence faster than looking at someone else\u2019s notes and hoping the language will \u201cinstall itself\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>A small meme joke to finish<\/h2>\n<p><strong><em>I asked my suitcase for directions.<\/em><\/strong><br><strong><em>It said: carry on.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Joke explanation:<\/strong> <strong><em>Carry on<\/em><\/strong> means \u201ccontinue\u201d or \u201cgo on\u201d, and <strong><em>a carry-on<\/em><\/strong> is hand luggage. So the suitcase gives travel advice and also talks about itself. At least it did not tell you to turn left into the luggage hold.<\/p>\n<h2>Practise travel English with SPEAKINGO<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to really use these phrases in conversation, practise them in action: listen to questions, answer in full sentences out loud, get comfortable with the vocabulary, and train your understanding at your own pace.
