Beginner15-minute lessonUpdated 14 September 2026

Daily English becomes easier when you learn phrases by situation rather than as one long list. Practise a few sentences that you can actually use today.

The Hindi meanings below explain the intention of each phrase. They are not stiff word-for-word translations, so the English sounds natural in conversation.

What you will practise

  • Use polite requests at home and work
  • Handle simple shop and travel conversations
  • Speak more clearly on phone calls
  • Change one sentence pattern to create many new sentences
Step 1

At home and with friends

These short phrases are useful because they invite a natural reply.

Say these aloud
  • Are you free right now? — Kya tum abhi free ho?
  • Give me five minutes. — Mujhe paanch minute do.
  • I will call you after dinner. — Main dinner ke baad call karunga/karungi.
  • What are you planning for tomorrow? — Kal ka kya plan hai?
Your exercise

Choose two phrases and change the time: right now to this evening, and after dinner to after work.

Step 2

At work or college

Polite, direct sentences usually sound more confident than long formal ones.

Say these aloud
  • Could you explain this part again? — Kya aap yeh hissa dobara samjha sakte hain?
  • I will finish it by four. — Main ise chaar baje tak poora kar dunga/dungi.
  • I need a little more time. — Mujhe thoda aur samay chahiye.
  • Shall we discuss this after lunch? — Kya hum lunch ke baad is par baat karein?
Your exercise

Say each sentence once politely and once urgently. Notice how pace and tone change the meaning.

Step 3

On calls and while travelling

Confirming what you heard prevents confusion when the line is noisy or the place is unfamiliar.

Say these aloud
  • Your voice is breaking up. — Aapki awaaz saaf nahi aa rahi hai.
  • Can I call you back in ten minutes? — Kya main das minute mein wapas call karun?
  • Does this bus go to the railway station? — Kya yeh bus railway station jaati hai?
  • Please let me know when we arrive. — Pahunchne par mujhe bata dijiyega.
Your exercise

Role-play a 30-second call in which you cannot hear clearly, confirm the time, and promise to call back.

Common questions

How can I remember daily-use English sentences?

Group them by situation and use each phrase in a personal sentence. Recalling a phrase in context builds memory faster than rereading a list.

Is translating from Hindi while speaking a bad habit?

It is normal at the beginning. Gradually memorise useful English chunks such as “Could you please” or “I need a little more time” so you do not translate every word.
