re talk 102

I want to speak English naturally, not like a textbook! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
I want to speak like a native speaker!! Seriously!!🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🔥🔥

Would you please help me by correcting anything that's wrong or sounds unnatural in these sentences?
You can change whatever you want!
It's alright if you change an entire sentence!!
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang! 🙏
Also, I'd like to hear your advice on how to have conversations with English speakers.
I'm looking forward to your constructive criticism.✍️

B: Excuse me, I'm looking for a place that sells kimonos. Do you know if there are any stores around here?
A: Oh, kimonos, I have no idea. But I can check!
B: Thanks!
A: By the way, do you want a kimono instead of a yukata?
B: What's the difference?
A: Well, I'm not really sure either, but I think a kimono is a little more expensive. Also, I guess, kimonos were originally worn as clothing and are made of silk, so they're heavier and a little more formal. And yukatas were originally worn after taking a bath, and they're made of cotton, so they're lightweight and are considered a casual kimono worn at festivals and things like that.
B: Oh, I see.
A: They look like this.
B: Oh, I see. Both are good, but I prefer a kimono.
A: I don't know exactly how much they cost, but I think buying one online is the cheapest way to go. Would you like to see the real thing?
B: Hmm... Yes.
A: Ok! I'll see if there's a store around here!
B: Thanks!
A: Hmmm... It seems there are'nt any around here, but if you take the train, I've got three stores in my search. This is the closest one. I think they sell yukatas too.
B: How far is it by train?
A: Well, oh, it's only one stop. You could probably walk there.
B: What's the name of the store?
A: Tokyo Kimono. Look the other stores. Here you go.
B: Thanks.
A: If you find one that looks good, I'll check out how to get there.
B: Thanks. Let me have a look.
A: Yup.
B: Hmm, this one looks good.
A: Which one? Oh, this is the one we were talking about earlier. I'll check to see if you can walk there.
B: Thanks.
A: Walking will take about 20 minutes. But if you take the train, it might be about the same as walking, considering the distance from here to a station plus the distance from a station to the store. But if you walk, you might get lost, so the train is easier. Which one do you want to do?
B: Oh, well, I think I'll take the train.
A: Ok. Do you know how to get to B station?
B: B station, right?
A: Yes!
B: I just got on the train earlier, so, yeah, I know how.
A: Oh, that's good. Then you might wanna ask at the closest station to that store for directions to it, right?
B: Yes.
A: And if you have a navigation app on your phone, I can give you the address.
B: Oh, yeah. I want to know the address.
A: Well, it's 000.
B: 000, correct?
A: Yes.
B: Thank you very much.
A: You're welcome. Have a nice trip!
B: Thanks! Bye!
A: Bye bye.
