Do you know what to say if you need to report something important but not urgent? In today’s episode, you’ll learn exactly how to handle this type of situation in English.

Join Andrew and Kassy as they break down two realistic phone conversations where someone calls the police or fire department’s non-emergency line. You’ll learn the key expressions native speakers use to describe situations that are a little concerning but not emergencies.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

  • Start a phone call in a polite and clear way
  • Use softening language like “might,” “maybe,” and “a little worried”
  • Explain situations without sounding too dramatic
  • Understand what the phrases “check in on someone” and “wellness check” mean

This is a must-listen for anyone living in an English-speaking country—or planning to! By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more confident calling for help in everyday situations.

Listen now and be ready for anything—no stress, no panic. Just the right English when you need it.
