Today’s episode is about something we all have to do, especially when we travel. We have to ask for help. And let’s be honest, asking for help can feel a little awkward, even in your first language. In another language, it can feel like climbing a mountain in flip-flops.
So today, I want to make this simple, clear, and actually kind of fun. We’re heading to a big European train station. People everywhere, suitcase wheels clicking on the floor, trains arriving, trains leaving, signs in German and English that look friendly but also a little mysterious. And you are standing there thinking, “Where is platform nine?”
This episode will teach you exactly what to say so you can ask for help politely without sounding too direct or too stressed. You’ll learn five phrases, five vocabulary words, and one short grammar tip to keep you sounding friendly and natural.
