Hi! I'm Georgiana, and I'm back with a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast—the podcast that helps you speak English fluently, with no grammar and no textbooks.

This is the second episode in our 4-part series on going to the doctor.

In the last episode, we practiced how to make an appointment on the phone. Today, we will look at what happens when you actually arrive at the clinic.

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.

Tom (Being serious): Hey, do we have to send thank you notes to everyone we've ever met for Thanksgiving?

James (Laughing): Oh no, it's not like that! Thanksgiving is more about enjoying turkey and pie with family and friends, not writing thank you notes to everyone!

Hi! Welcome to a special podcast about Thanksgiving! I'm Georgiana, your English teacher, and I want to tell you about Thanksgiving.
