Hey, hey — before we start shopping, can you do us a little favor?
Please, please, please subscribe to the Mr. English Podcast. It helps us keep going, and you'll never miss a fun episode.
All right. Time to hit the store. Let’s go.
Wow, this store is huge. Look at all these racks of clothes.
I know. I already feel overwhelmed. I just want a shirt, not a fashion degree.
You’ll be fine. I’m your personal stylist today.
Step one: Don’t pick anything beige.
What’s wrong with beige?
It makes you look like a potato. Trust me.
Well, I do like potatoes.
Ooh, this jacket is cute. I wonder if they have it in medium.
Excuse me. Hi. Do you have this jacket in a medium?
Yes, let me check in the back.
You’re getting good at that — asking for sizes like a pro.
I once bought a hoodie two sizes too small because I was too shy to ask.
Never again.
Oh no. Did you return it?
Nope. I gave it to my dog. She looked great in it.
Okay, I’m going to the fitting room. Wish me luck.
Don’t get stuck in the shirt again.
Why are buttons so confusing?
You’re doing great. What do you think?
Too tight?
Actually, it fits well. You look sharp.
Nice. Let’s find something for you now.
I saw this green dress earlier, but green makes me look like a lettuce.
A stylish lettuce, though.
Hi there. Are you ready to check out?
Yes, I’ll take this jacket and this dress — and maybe these socks.
Okay, your total is $52.80.
Do you take credit card?
Yes, we do. And you can return anything within 14 days with the receipt.
I’ve got one shirt and one victory over buttons.
That’ll be $24.99, right?
You got it.
Let’s go over some useful shopping words.
First: Do you have this in a medium?
A great phrase to ask for your size.
Do you have this in other colors?
Also very helpful.
Fitting room — the place where you try on clothes.
Check out — that means to pay for what you’re buying.
Return policy — this tells you if and when you can return items.
Bonus word: Receipt — that little paper you need for returns.
All right, let’s practice. Repeat after me.
Do you have this in a small?
Can I try this on?
Do you have this in other colors?
I’d like to check out.
Do you take credit card?
What’s your return policy?
Can I get a receipt, please?
Great job. You sound ready to shop anywhere in the world.
One time I bought shoes online — two left feet. I don’t know how, but I did.
Oh no. I once wore a shirt inside out for a whole day at school.
Fashion mistakes make the best stories.
Thanks for shopping with us today.
