Everyday phrases

What you do

You say, with your practice partner if you like, a phrase for an everyday situation: a phone call, a store counter, an appointment.

The three steps

  • Step 1: Short phrases of two to four words.
  • Step 2: Short sentences for everyday situations.
  • Step 3: Longer sentences that ask for or give details.

A step describes the material. You can change it at any time.

A sample item

This item is from step 1.

Say the phrase.

A stranger calls your house. You say:

This item has no choices. You say the response aloud or write it on paper, then go to the next item.

This is practice material. It is not medical advice and it is not speech therapy. It does not replace a speech-language pathologist.

Sudden new trouble speaking or understanding is an emergency. Call 911 or your local emergency number now. Tell your doctor or speech-language pathologist about trouble swallowing or changes in mood.
