Often, in order to amuse an English-speaking interlocutor or simply to lighten up the conversation, jokes in English can be useful. Let's divide the jokes into several categories to make them easier to remember. Don't try to memorize a joke if you don't understand the meaning of all the sentences. Make a translation that you understand, and then tell the joke to your friends.
Please note: by learning English through jokes, you have a better chance of remembering new vocabulary, because... Emotions are involved when reading jokes, and they help in the process of memorizing new information.

Dialogues in English for beginners on the topics "Hotel", "Restaurant" and "Shopping" are an ideal basis for role-playing games. In order to play out typical situations that arise during tourist trips in class, you need to move away from the framework of the training course and get as close to reality as possible. For example, take a real English-language menu of a cafe or restaurant or its short, educational version (there are a great many of them on the Internet), study it, “place an order,” then “pay the bill.”
It is important not to forget that the main goal of role-playing games is communication, understanding the interlocutor, and not perfect pronunciation and impeccable grammar.
Here we provide mini-dialogues for beginners that can be modified or expanded. Lexical material for “tourist” dialogues are the names of dishes, souvenirs, and items of clothing.

Excuse me. I have a reservation.

You've probably heard about the famous "English humor". Slightly specific features, sometimes incomprehensible to us, accompany every joke. But some of them have long been beaten. And in order to be aware and not look like a person without a sense of humor or a fool, it will be useful to read a few jokes in English with translation.
Everyone should have a sense of humor. There are situations when jokes are indispensable, and to prevent dialogue from developing into conflict, it is better to use a good joke. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to even laugh at yourself. The British are sometimes mocked because of their sharp humor, because one of the main characteristics is the use of irony and sarcasm. It is their jokes that are often called dry sense of humour, What does sarcasm mean?
What do the British like to laugh at?
Above everything! Starting from ourselves, ending with members royal family and the government. Yes, sometimes jokes in English are incomprehensible to us, not because of ignorance of words or language, but because of their content, exactly what is being ridiculed. It's all about different mentality, upbringing, habits and customs. Likewise, some of our jokes may not be funny to the English, because everything is based on a play on words. And when translating Russian jokes into English, sometimes they lose their ironic meaning.
Favorite reasons for laughter or irony are the weather and the special way of life of the country. After talking with the residents of Great Britain, you will see that they, like us, love to joke about any topic. Sometimes they themselves don’t even notice that a joke was made; it has already become their way of thinking.
Where can you find English humor?
Everywhere! In personal contact - very often. I would like to give advice. Even if you don't get the joke, it's better to smile or laugh out of politeness. This way you can “establish contact” with your interlocutor. When watching TV shows, movies, or listening to radio broadcasts, humorous statements are constantly used. Yes, if you translate an English joke literally, the result is an absurdity or a completely unfunny phrase. And I really want to understand what “he said there, how he attracted attention, how he made amends,” and so on. That is why we suggest you look at the list of the most popular english jokes. Understand them, look inside the English soul, and thereby make a huge breakthrough forward in learning the language.

About the English Queen
At the beginning of the article, I said that jokes about the Queen of England are very popular. Yes, but representatives of other nations, for example, we Russians, like such jokes more. The British themselves do not particularly welcome such topics... Either they are afraid of the wrath of the long-lived monarch, or is it really in their blood to be correct in everything!? What do you think, huh?
But still I managed to find one funny joke. I don’t even know who could have come up with it?….
Once Bernard Shaw dropped the phrase that all women are corrupt. The English Queen heard that and when meeting Shaw, asked him:
“Is it true, sir, that you are saying that all women are corrupt?”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
- And me too?! — exclaimed the queen indignantly.
"And you too, Your Majesty," Shaw said calmly.
“And how much am I worth?” asked the queen.
“Ten thousand pounds” Shaw said at once.
- What, so cheap?! The queen resented.
“You see, you are already bargaining about the price,” the playwright smiled.
Translation:
Bernard Shaw once said that all women are corrupt.
The Queen of England, having learned about this, asked Shaw when she met:
“Is it true, sir, that you say that all women are corrupt?”
- Yes, Your Majesty.
- And me too?! - the queen was indignant.
“And you too, Your Majesty,” Shaw replied calmly.
- And how much do I cost?! - the queen burst out.
“Ten thousand pounds sterling,” Shaw immediately determined.
- What, so cheap?! - the queen was surprised.
“You see, you’re already bargaining,” the playwright smiled.
Sometimes Russian people cannot comprehend the meaning of subtle and sharp English humor, because... Difficulties often arise with translation into Russian. There is an opinion that English humor is peculiar and difficult to perceive. What is the reason?
This happens because many jokes are based on double meaning of phrases or the use of words that sound similar but have different meanings (this is what I'm talking about, by the way). That’s why it’s so important to know the language well, above average.
That is why I recommend that you immediately subscribe to my blog and practice mastering the language regularly. Tell your friends and share the information you receive via links in in social networks. Bye everyone, wait for new articles!
The skill of fluent speaking at the beginning of learning any language seems, if not unattainable, then certainly requires a lot of effort, which often scares off beginning polyglots who are not used to hearing their own voice speaking another language. However, you need to speak English from the very beginning of studying, and this section will help you get off to an easy start. Video files with text and audio tracks will help you not only remember how individual phrases are constructed, but also how they are pronounced.
Dialogues in English are presented in different thematic aspects: in this section there are both elementary questions that students answer at the very beginning of learning the language, and individual situations that will be useful in cases where you are learning a language solely for travel. You can play out the situations presented either alone or in pairs.
Simple dialogues for getting to know each other
Anyone who attended English classes at school knows where learning it begins: just with acquaintance. This is done not only because the teacher needs to get to know the students as soon as possible, but also because information about oneself rarely affects lexical blocks unknown to the beginner. Of course, the need for a full introduction in the case of communication with a native speaker may not arise, however, you will already be able to briefly talk about yourself, listing the most important points of your biography.
For those who study English on their own, dialogue, for example, will be very useful. – the interlocutors meet for the first time, ask each other’s names. Of course, the speech is slowed down and made as clear as possible (in spoken English it will probably be more difficult), but a beginner can already listen to how to get acquainted and repeat after the participants in the video.
Another, no less important question is? - an obligatory part of any acquaintance, especially abroad. Of course, you can’t go into a detailed description of the cultural aspects and traditions of your country yet, but you can learn how to clarify the nationality of your interlocutor and even the homeland of his accent!
And, of course, how can one live without observing the rules of politeness in the life of your interlocutor and his close people? Study these dialogues, and you won’t even notice how your confidence in your own knowledge of a foreign language will greatly increase!
Dialogues for specific situations
Stepping outside the classroom (and comfort zone) can introduce yourself to a more challenging environment than meeting one person to interact with. Even if you are still at the Beginner level, you may find yourself in a situation in which you will need to ask questions, for example: or about the building you need (in place of “Holiday Inn” you can put anything: a train station, shopping mall, hotel). By the way, these dialogues can be modified by adding prepositions of place and direction that you already know: using them regularly will help you remember them faster!
Perhaps the most common question for tourists abroad who are desperately looking for someone to ask for advice is: When this question is asked, communication can be said to have begun as the speakers have established the language of conversation.
Of course, when you find yourself in a situation that requires language proficiency at a sufficient level to exchange information (as a rule, this applies to those moments when you come to a restaurant or even a simple store abroad), you have to use not only the passive use of language through speech patterns, but also active - you have to listen to your interlocutor and understand his answer. However, there are two very important points at work here:
- pre-worked dialogues in English allow us to assume, at least in theory, that they can answer you, and you will be less afraid if you have at least a rough idea of how to behave;
- It’s much easier to start a conversation if you have a few phrases in stock, albeit memorized, but absolutely correct in both the grammatical and lexical sense.
There is good news: if your interlocutor sees that you have problems with language, he may start to monitor himself and use simpler vocabulary, or even sign language. In a word, communication will still take place, even if you fail to understand what exactly was answered.
Of course, to consolidate the material, you need to repeat it not just once, but several times, but you still shouldn’t sit endlessly on one dialogue. Over time, you can even think about composing your own dialogues - let the form remain the same, but the content changes slightly. This will help you consolidate the grammatical structures you have learned and get on the path to independently composing colloquial phrases in a foreign language.
