I have 2 questions. 1) Does this dialogue look natural? Any mistakes? 2) Do Brits say "What are you studying?" instead of "What's your major?" (As far as I know it's an American equivalent) talking about studying at university. The dialogue: A: What do you do? B:I'm a five-year student at a medical university. A: Amazing! What are you studying? B: I'm studying nursing. Thank you so much in advance 🥺🙏🏻

Alina, You are right, we ask "What are you studying?". "I'm a five-year student at a medical university" sounds a little unnatural to me. We would probably leave out the words "five-year", ("I'm a student at a medical university") or even just say "I'm a student"/ "I'm a medical student"/"I'm at university". Victoria

In the U.S. we don't say "medical university". Instead, we say "medical school" or "med school". For us, a university is a gigantic institution that contains all sorts of "schools", one of which might be a med school.

Do you mean ‘fifth-year student’ i e a student in year 5 of the course ? ‘ What are you studying ?’ is fine.
