Every avid tourist is simply obliged to visit England at least once. Everything here is steeped in history. In the largest city in Europe - London, a huge number of medieval buildings have survived to this day, each of which carries the memory of past centuries. Many people think that the UK 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.

Numbers and numbers are a very important and frequently used topic. Without knowing how to pronounce numbers and numbers in English, you will not be able to pay for purchases, find out the schedule of certain events, and so on. This thread fixes a similar issue.
Everyone knows that when going on a trip abroad, it is advisable to learn or at least write down a few colloquial phrases in a foreign language that you may need in different situations abroad. It is quite difficult to learn phrases in different languages every time before traveling, depending on the country where you are going.
But as practice shows, if you “stock up” with a few necessary expressions in English, then you will be understood in almost any country in the world. In any case, the staff of airports, hotels and most shops know English to some extent in order to understand you and help in difficult situations. And for this it is not at all necessary to learn letters, grammar, devote hours to the English word and syntax features.
So, what phrases might you need while traveling? We decided to compile a short English-Russian phrasebook of popular and most necessary expressions for tourists. It will be especially useful for those people who do not speak English and for whom communication is a necessity. The phrasebook is also intended for those who want to always have a small hint in their pocket in order to feel more confident in a real communication situation.
First, these are the most commonly used phrases in everyday life, including greeting and farewell:
