Can you understand the numbers?

Leo Hey Mia, what's your phone number?

Mia It's five five five, zero one nine three.

Leo Five five five… zero one nine three?

Mia Yes!

Leo And how old are you?

Mia I'm twenty-four.

Leo Me too!

Useful expression How old are you? — Ask it to know someone's age.

Pizza? With who?

Ben Hi Sam, it's Ben. Pizza at eight?

Mia Sorry, I'm not Sam.

Ben Oh! Is this five five five, zero one three nine?

Mia No, it's zero one nine three.

Ben Sorry! Wrong number.

Mia No problem!

Useful expression Sorry, wrong number. — Say it when you call or text the wrong person.

Don't understand? Say this.

Word Can you repeat that, please? /kən juː rɪˈpiːt ðæt pliːz/ — You ask someone to say it again.

Stop saying “I have 24 years”.

Common mistake ~~I have 24 years.~~ → I'm 24.

Why: In English, you use “be” for age, not “have”.

The difference is in the stress.

Word thirteen /θɜːˈtiːn/ / thirty /ˈθɜːti/
