Intermediate Travel

​Hi there, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

This is the first lesson in my Travel English Series, designed to help intermediate learners speak confidently and naturally when travelling to English-speaking countries. Whether you’re planning a trip, dreaming of one, or just want to improve your conversational skills, this lesson is your starting point.

We’re diving into a topic we all relate to: why we need a holiday. You’ll learn how to talk about rest, escape, and adventure using real-world vocabulary and expressions. When you get to the listening exercise on page 11, come back here.

📜 Transcript: Anna & Mark’s Conversation

Anna: Hey Mark, I have been working too hard. I want to go on a holiday to relax and unwind.

Mark: That sounds nice. Somewhere tropical, maybe?

Anna: Exactly, with exotic beaches and palm trees.

Mark: A long weekend would be perfect.

Anna: Yes. Just enough time to disconnect and switch off. But I want to plan a proper holiday too. Maybe to a city for longer.
