Today we're beginning a new series—four episodes designed to prepare you for going to the doctor.

Why this topic? Well, the truth is simple. At some point, whether you live abroad, travel, or study in another country, you will need medical care. And the very first step is usually the same: booking an appointment.

Making that call can feel stressful, especially if you're not confident speaking English on the phone. Don't worry. I'll show you the most useful expressions, share some realistic dialogues, and at the end, we'll practice with a Point of View story so you can really start speaking more automatically.
