Hi! I'm Lumi — let's practice this out loud 🎙️

English at the Supermarket

A supermarket in another country is a maze — strange brands, endless aisles, a fast-talking cashier. These phrases find the product, check the price and get you through checkout. Practice them out loud with an AI tutor.

Key phrases

Excuse me, where can I find the milk?
"Where can I find…" locates any product in the maze.
What aisle is the rice in?
"Aisle" has a silent "s" — it sounds like "I'll".
Is this on sale?
"On sale" means discounted — different from "for sale".
Do I need to weigh these?
For fruits and vegetables — at many stores the cashier weighs them.
Can I pay by card?
At checkout they may ask "debit or credit?" — be ready.
Could I get a bag, please?
Bags aren't always free abroad — sometimes you pay for them.
Could I get a receipt, please?
"Receipt" has a silent "p" — and you'll need it for returns.

Tip: Fruits and vegetables are "produce" — the "Produce" sign marks that section. And at checkout, "Paper or plastic?" is just asking which type of bag you want.

🎙️ Now practice it yourself — the voice tutor listens to you speak and corrects your pronunciation on the spot.
