Many people don't like making phone calls for appointments. Even native speakers. Great lesson.

[@duongntpham]

Then this is definitely not a service. As service supposed to mean “being content & happy”.

[@TT-vb3yk]

I am not understanding why not liking to make phone calls for appointments.

[@pingpong_]

​@TT-vb3yk because 1. in person you see the face expression and this helps a lot in conversation 2 because people can be more often rude by phone than in person 3 because secretary can more easy ignore you by phone as in person

Ouf !!! Finally I found a way to release my stress when I have to make an appointment over the phone or request any other service from stores, companies and so on. I usually feel frightened every time I need to use my phone for professional conversations. Now I get some tools for improving my skills so I can get always ready facing this kinda challenge. Thank you pretty much Teach Vanessa ! You’re definitely a life savior.

Hello, Iam from India, Basically Iam from small village, now I am living in Bangalore city, I haven't studied in English as a first language, I learnt English and now I understand all native speakers English also,. Now Iam regularly watching your videos. Your pronunciation is so clear. Thank you so much

[@blacksunangel636]

Teacher whenever i'm done watching your videos I feel smarter and more confident... thank God there's people like you out there to help us pimp our English. You're doing a great job. Thank you.

[@blacksunangel636]

Oops! Sorry... It's 'there are people' instead of there's people..

[@TheGeorgeD13]

Eh, as a native English speaker “there’s” works just fine there. I didn’t bat an eye there. True, “there are” is more grammatically correct, but the amount of natives who speak grammatically correct all the time is pretty low. You’re good bro.

[@blacksunangel636]

Geez! This only thing used to be confusing for me cauz i heard, even on tv shows there's used with a plural noun...Now ,i get it, thanks a thousand times bro.

[@TheGeorgeD13]

@@blacksunangel636 No problem. What's more important than being grammatically correct is to have what you're saying be understood and that you understand what they're saying. If you go to any English speaking country, especially the UK, the US, and Australia/New Zealand, you'll notice we're very loose with the rules of grammar in the vein of stuff like your "there's" example. We do that sort of thing quite often. And frankly, you probably understand that rule better than most English speakers lol.

Thanks Vanessa, normally at China, we typically make appointment to hospital is necessary at nowdays, but not by phone, every hospital have individual app at cell phone, we can searching for the doctors which u prefer, and make reservation, as well pay on line the consulting cost, normally at 25 cny for high level experienced, and or 5 cny for common doctors. For meal reservation, common practrice is drop a call directly and make a estimated timeframe normally accurate to half hours, and no.s of persons to be there, that's it, haha, ur video came my top 1 lesson resource now, thanks!

Hi. I'm from Mexico and I've been watching your videos and they have helped me a lot.. currently I'm living here in north Carolina same as you do... my husband is American and after 7 years of iving here I'm picking up a better English... because it is not the same I used to learnt down there in Mexico..... one of the things I am afraid the most to do is booking an appointment no matter if it is in Spanish, but worse in English, because generally the secretaries speak SUPER fast.... and with those tricky words like you just showed in your video, that make it impossible for me to understand.. Same for ordering food.... some people talks really fast and I always try to figure out what they are saying.... but this video cleared me some of those words and hopefully I would be more confident to make an appointment from now on... thank you vanessa.. my name is Ana by the way.. see you

[@westwind1519]

I love the real situation lesson. It makes me know that real US speaking is still hard for me. Anyway in Thailand, we seldom make appointment for doctor. If it is only small disease like fever or cold. We can go directly to drugstore and pharmacist can choose medicine for us without any prescription. And if you just exam your eye for buying eyeglasses or contact lenses. You don't need to see the eye doctor. You just go to the eyeglasses shop, exam your eye and choose eye frame. Eye doctor for us is like when you really have problem or disease with your eyes.
