Russian English phrasebook online. Spoken English for tourists. Phrases that will get you out of your language stupor abroad. Airport. Passport control
Okay, yes, know, ay dont speak English is the most basic set of words from the English language, which almost everyone has. However, this is not enough to travel independently. “Why then go somewhere on your own without knowing the language?” - you ask. But why.
What is our dictionary for?
For example, you live in Thailand and really miss your family and friends. And so, finally, you decide to invite your parents, friends, brothers, sisters, or, to be honest, your beloved mother-in-law! And what? In her own way, she will bring sausages, herrings of her own salting, mushrooms, home-made pickled cucumbers and tomatoes, jam, sauerkraut, caviar or even lard, bask in the warm Thai sun, tell her friends on Skype how warm she is here, while They are all minus 20 degrees and there is a snowstorm. And everyone feels good about it.
Here the question arises, how should she go? “It’s best, of course, with a voucher. Comfortable. And the hotel is separate and the excursion to the crocodiles is included in the price,” he will think. “Oh, mom is coming to stay, we’ll see you!!!” - she will say.
As a result, you buy tickets from Etihad or Emirates with a transfer to the UAE and receive instructions on basic issues. Here it turns out that the last time my mother-in-law used English was at school, when she and her friends sang the song “Happy Bezdey Tu Yu” to a classmate or even learned German. But in Abu Dhabi she needs to look at her exit number. Or worse, moving from one terminal to another at the huge Dubai airport. This is where our short English-Russian dictionary for independent traveler will come in handy.
But seriously speaking, now many people go to spend the winter in Pattaya - a city in which almost every second Thai has already learned. A city where all the inscriptions, signs, menus and price tags have long been translated for our beloved tourists. All this allows compatriots without knowledge of English to live in Thailand, so the international airport and airplanes are the only place where it is still impossible to live without it.
How to use it
All words and expressions in the dictionary are divided into thematic sections. At the end of each section there are several template phrases in which the words can be used. In parentheses after the English phrase or word there is a transcription in Russian that will help you pronounce it relatively correctly.
Concise English-Russian dictionary
Of course, it is unlikely that it will be possible to solve all the questions with the help of this dictionary. However, it is enough to get to your final destination without any problems.

Hello, dear friend!
So, are you interested in spoken English for tourists - phrases and expressions, and maybe even whole sentences? Then I’m almost sure that everything is fine with you now and your mood “ suitcase" Why? Yes, because only tourists look for useful expressions for tourists)).
A few years ago, my friend went on vacation to Europe, she thought that she would see all the beauty there, visit the most famous museums... It didn’t work out - after all, before the trip she didn’t even bother to stock up elementary phrases in English, not to mention picking up a textbook or phrasebook. I thought that they would understand her on the fingers and relied on our Russian maybe.
As a result, she spent 2 weeks in the hotel, going out a couple of times only to the neighboring street for shopping, although according to her, it didn’t really work out. She admitted that she had never felt so stupid and insecure. Yes, it’s not a very pleasant feeling, I’ll tell you!
To avoid it, it won’t hurt you (it really won’t hurt you!) to read this article. It will be divided into 2 parts. In the first part , that is, on this page, you get acquainted with basic English expressions and questions , which will definitely come in handy on any foreign trip. All of them will have translation and pronunciation (audio for each phrase) - you can practice them online and without leaving the cash register.
- I will give you examples, how you can and should react to phrases spoken to you, I'll give you advice how not to get confused and don't fall face first into the dirt)), when you heard the fluent, unintelligible speech of a foreigner who also looks at you angrily! In general, let's practice to the fullest!
So let's start with
Basic rules
- Use words of gratitude. It's better that you say them twice than not say them at all. (These are the words Thank you and a little more casual thanks )
- Politeness and once again politeness, to express which use the phrases:
— Please (when asking for something) – Tell me, please, where I can find a hairdresser’s
— You are welcome (when responding to gratitude)
— Excuse me (when you want to ask or ask for something) – Excuse me, could you help me with the bus?
— (I'm) Sorry (when expressing regret) - If you wish ask permission or ask about the possibility (probability) of something, use the construction Can I.../May I...
?
Can I open the window? (ask for permission)
Can I change my ticket? (asking about the possibility) - If you ask someone for something, use the construction Could you…
?
Could you give me a new towel?
I would also like to remind you what tourism vocabulary you need to know Firstly before traveling to an English-speaking country. Here is a list of words:
You can find all these words with the correct pronunciation by following the appropriate links.
Taking this opportunity, I hasten to recommend you an excellent online course developed by the well-known English language learning service Lingualeo. « English for tourists» - this is what you need if you are going on a trip and want to remember and revive your English).

Let's finally get to the phrases themselves! And let's start with the important thing - emergency or unforeseen situations. Of course, they most likely will not happen to you, but knowing the necessary expressions in such cases will at least make you a little more confident.

Of course, the list of useful things I have proposed from the field of tourist English - base, does not include many details, but it will help you navigate standard situations. If you want to learn other phrases, suggest them in the comments - we will be happy to supplement this article with your help!
If you want to know English more thoroughly, understand the essence of the language, appreciate its beauty, learn to express your thoughts in it, understand the thoughts of other people, and also plunge into the culture of the countries in which it is official, then I will be glad to see you among the readers , guests or subscribers.
Here you can always find a lot of free materials, lessons, practical and theoretical posts, which I am happy to create for you!
And now I want to invite you and wish you success!
By the way, quite recently for my readers and all people striving for new heights, I wrote 2 very useful articles:
I think you will be curious
In contact with
English is the universal language of the world community, spoken in many countries.
English is spoken in the United States and Canada, Great Britain and Ireland, India, Pakistan and Malta, New Zealand, Australia and some African countries. English is recognized as the official language of communication.
There are many varieties of the English dialect: Canadian, New Zealand, African, Cockney (the dialect of some areas of London).
And this is only a small part of the countries where English is spoken. Considering how rapidly international relations between countries are developing, and the travel of the planet’s inhabitants around the world is becoming more and more active, it must be recognized that without mastery of a generally recognized international language, a modern person loses a lot in understanding the life, history and culture of other countries.
Traveling to English-speaking countries, especially those rich in historical and cultural relics, can be very exciting.
Before traveling abroad, it would be a good idea to take care of ways to communicate with representatives of another state and mentality.
In this case, a foreign language phrasebook can be a wonderful help for tourists, vacationers and business people.
It will help you build communication with foreigners at least at a minimum level: ask for something, tell about yourself, choose the right product, order food in a restaurant.
The phrasebook is an irreplaceable book; it contains standard phrases, cliches of questions and answers, the most common in communication between people.
As a rule, the material in the phrasebook is divided into several sections on commonly used topics: greetings, transport, train stations, restaurants, hotels, shopping, dates and times, and many other situations.
A great convenience for the modern tourist is that the phrasebook can be downloaded to a mobile phone or iPhone; you can also purchase a colorfully designed phrasebook - a guidebook, which contains a list of addresses of attractions, phone numbers, price lists and other important details.
The phrasebook includes expressions and words used in England, the United States and other English-speaking countries. Pronunciation transcriptions given along with Russian and English words greatly facilitate the correct reading of words, which makes communication more accessible and easier.
The English language is not difficult to learn, since words do not change according to gender and case. Therefore, if you simply take words from the dictionary, it is quite possible to compose a whole sentence.
To make a word plural, you simply add the suffix “s” to it. There are exceptions, of course.
For example, mispronouncing long and short vowels can cause misunderstandings because the pronunciation changes the meaning of the word. Therefore, the pronunciation of a long vowel is marked in the transcription with a colon.
Words in English and their pronunciation
By studying words and phrases from a phrasebook, you can learn to speak correctly and at the same time expand your knowledge of English vocabulary.

In the largest city in Europe, London, a huge number of medieval buildings have been preserved to this day, each of which carries the memory of past centuries. Many people think that Great Britain is one country, but if you travel often, you should know that it includes 4 magnificent countries: Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland. In each of them you can find something new and interesting for yourself.

Everyone knows that when going on a trip abroad, it is advisable to learn or at least write down a few phrases in a foreign language that may be needed in different situations abroad.

But as practice shows, if you learn the necessary phrases in English, you will be understood in almost any country in the world. In any case, the staff at airports, hotels and most shops speak English to some extent in order to understand you and help you in difficult situations.
