I needed a new electric razor.
My old one broke in Athens about nine months ago.
And I’ve discovered that shaving with regular razor is too slow.
So there I was, in a Sofia electronics store, listening to the shop assistant recommend his favorite razor.
But I had a question.
I wanted to ask about the… the… thing… that piece of plastic that you can put on top of the razor… you know… that thing!
But obviously, I didn’t have the word I needed.
So I asked the shop assistant.
“What’s this thing called?” I asked him.
He thought about it and said, “I don’t know.”
And you know what happened next?
The conversation continued without the word.
I got my electric razor.
And life goes on…
You are brillant 🙂
Its a good text for practic. Quite Easy vocabulary gor andestand. Only missing audio because your way of soeaking its easy to listen and andestand.
Hello! I understand that the course is free. If it’s free, I’ll participate. Otherwise, I give up.
Which course? I have several.
Heve you known the plastic name yet?
Nope.
Life always goes on
Really, the best solution and way how to continue the conversation without vocabulary. Thanks, Ryan for being normal human.

Ah, possibly. But it also is for adjusting the closeness of the shave.
The conversatsion continued world. 🙂
Knowledge is like the water of the ocean, while the mind is like a cup, so how do we fill the limited with the unlimited? Can the poor cup hold ocean water? A person will discover that he will never reach perfection, because at the time he learns something new, he will discover that he was ignorant of it, and he will also discover that he is still ignorant of many other things, because science is constantly expanding and does not stop, including the science of language.
Nice thought , everything is changing – panta rhei,.nice comment
Maybe that thing can be simply called a protective cap?
I like your humour !
That what you teach us, if you don´t remember the word what you need, then ask the question. The question must be that type, where can´t answere yes or no.
ו beegining to understand you all, you usd with a simply words thank you my techer🙏

“Thing” or “marafeti” in greek! Good word to describe unknowned words…. However I would use the word “handle” for the plastic base of razor
Always ask question about life.
Thanks 🙂
excellent end of story
Hi, I Will send you my trip from Athens…we go there for spend our holiday, we love Athens and Athika region!
thanks a lot!!!
Oh I have no idea how that thing is called. a plastic thing which cover the razor…..
I think that is only a protective hood.
Interesting… How…? I “collect” people with whom it´s possible to communicate without words. It´s an amazing experiance and an amazing life.
you teach us with correct example like the story with regular and electronic razor. Because obviously no one is always fluent
The unknown words doesnt make sense when you want something nto do
