What are some English words a foreigner should know?

In: English Language, Translations [Edit categories]

Answer:

Where would you start such a mammoth task. There are so many that most of the English do not know them. It's ok, I can say that, I am English. I am sure you will get by with the few words they use most.

i am improving this answer as it is useless to you. you said 'foreigner' so i can't translate to your language so here's just some good words to learn:

i don't understand you
yes please
no thank you
can i have this
how much is this
what is this
where is
how do you
