I wanna speak natural English, not textbook English!🙇♂️🙇♂️
I wanna speak like a native!! Seriously!!🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🔥🔥
Could you please help me by correcting anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
You can change the order of the sentences, or do whatever you want!
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang！ 🙏
Also, I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreigners.
I look forward to your constructive comments.✍️
B: Excuse me? Do you speak English?
A: Umm, Just a little.
B: How do I get to the bus station from here?
A: Sorry, I didn’t catch that. Could you speak more slowly?
B: Oh, okay.
B: Excuse me?,
Ddo you speak English?
When you speak, it's good to say, "Excuse me, do you speak English?" as one sentence. By itself, "excuse me" can sound like a rude or angry customer. (Some people call those customers "Karens"; that's a recent slang term a rude (often racist) middle-aged woman who is rude to employees because "Karen" is a common American name for middle-aged women. Some people find it offensive, though, so be careful!)
A: Umm, Just a little.
We use "umm" more naturally when we're asked a more difficult question. You could change, "Sorry, I didn't catch that," to, "Um, I didn't catch that. Sorry!"
Could you speak a little more slowly?
When we ask people to change a habit or mannerism, saying "a little" makes it softer.

This is really good! It already sounds casual!
