What do I say when

Learning Russian Forum - Ask a Tutor

What do I say when I want to ask someone if they need help finding anything? I work at a retail store in the nursery section, and I get a lot of Russian speakers that come in. I know ‘В чем я могу вам помочь?’ which is ‘How can I help you?’

I’ve heard ‘Вам что-то подсказать?’ which seems to translate “Can I suggest anything?”

Any more sentences that I should know to politely greet customers? Thanks. Also, if anyone knows where I can find good articles on garden/yard care in Russian, that would be much appreciated!

You can practice (listen, read, repeat and practice) basic Russian phrases (including “Чем я могу вам помочь?”) here: Сайт Анны Стрелковской (for those who learn Russian) - Необходимые фразы
It’s not exactly about greeting customers but I think those phrases could be useful.
I’m going to upload those videos to lingq someday :slight_smile:

The content is definitely relevant to what I need! Thank you. It’s good to have you here again, as I still watch your YouTube videos for listening practice.
