⭐️ How to Make an Appointment in English | English Conversation Practice

Making an appointment may seem simple — but when English is not your first language, it can feel stressful.

You might ask yourself:

• What should I say first on the phone?
• What if I don’t understand the receptionist?
• How do I confirm the time correctly?
• What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

In this episode, Sophia and Ryan guide you step by step through the complete process of making an appointment in English — whether it’s for a doctor, dentist, hair salon, car repair, or even a work meeting.

You’ll learn exactly what to say, what questions to expect, and how to handle every situation confidently and professionally.

This lesson is perfect for beginners, lower-intermediate learners, professionals, students, and anyone who wants to speak English more confidently in daily life.

• How to start a phone call professionally (“Hi, I’d like to make an appointment, please.” / “I need to schedule an appointment.”)
• The difference between a new patient and an existing patient
• How to explain the reason for your appointment clearly (“I need a checkup.” / “I have a cough.”)
• How receptionists offer available time slots and how to respond naturally
• How to accept a time (“Yes, that works for me.” / “That’s perfect.”)
• How to decline a time politely and ask for alternatives (“Do you have anything earlier?”)
• Important questions to ask before confirming (cost, insurance, duration, required documents)
• How to ask about preparation instructions (“Do I need to bring anything?”)
• Why confirming details is essential and how to do it professionally (“Just to confirm…”)
• What a cancellation policy is and why you should ask about it
• The difference between canceling and rescheduling an appointment
• How to reschedule professionally (“I need to reschedule my appointment.”)
• What to do if you’re running late (“I’m stuck in traffic. I’ll be about ten minutes late.”)
