Yellow = key phrase · dotted = new word (tap for the meaning)
Your first day at a new job. It's exciting, and it's a little scary.
Today, you'll learn the simple, polite English you need for that day, in about thirty minutes. I'm Marcus.
We'll speak slowly and clearly, so you can follow every word. Here's a small tip. Listen one time without subtitles. Then listen again with the subtitles on.
Here's the plan. Five short scenes from one first day. Meeting your manager, meeting the team, asking for help, lunch, and the end of the day. After each scene, we explain the key phrases, and then you hear the scene again.
The full episode continues with five role-play scenes, a short story, a quiz, shadowing and a "your turn" speaking practice. It's all in the PDF.
3 of the 28 key phrases
- I'm starting today. Say this when you arrive on your first day.
- Nice to meet you in person. In person = face to face, not online.
- Let me show you around. Show someone around = walk with them and show them a place.
The video will be free to watch on YouTube, with or without the PDF.
