Welcome to Slow English Daily, the podcast where you learn English by listening to slow, clear and simple spoken English. This is episode ten, and today we talk about making plans in English.
Every friendship you have in your life started because somebody made a plan. Somebody said "are you free on Saturday?" In this episode you will learn how to invite someone in English, how to say yes with warmth, how to agree on a time and a place, how to cancel or reschedule, and how to say no politely without hurting anybody. You will also learn the three-part formula for a polite refusal in English, and why you do not need a big reason to say no.
Key phrases from this episode: Are you free on Saturday? Do you fancy a coffee? What time works for you? Let's say seven. Sorry, I can't make it. Something's come up. Let's do it another time.
This is English listening practice for ESL and EFL learners at A2 and B1 level. Everything is spoken slowly, in simple words, with no difficult grammar and no long vocabulary lists. Perfect for beginners who understand written English but freeze when someone speaks to them. Listen while you walk, drive, cook, work out, or before you sleep. New episodes every week.
