Travel English Speaking Practice

This course prepares you to speak English on a real trip, following the journey from the airport onward: checking in, going through security, passport control and immigration, baggage claim and lost luggage, getting a taxi, asking directions, using the subway and bus, checking into a hotel, requesting services, solving hotel problems, ordering food, asking about the menu, paying the bill, and shopping. You shadow short, practical exchanges so the phrases you need are ready the moment a situation comes up — no pausing to translate at the gate or the front desk.

How to prepare before you travel

Practice in trip order — airport, transport, hotel, restaurant, shopping — so the phrases follow the real sequence of a journey.

Shadow the question forms especially: most travel English is asking for something clearly and politely.

Rehearse the “problem” dialogues (lost luggage, hotel issues) out loud; those are exactly the moments stress makes English hard to recall.

The week before a trip, re-shadow the sections you will need first so they feel automatic on arrival.

Learning goals

  • Move through airports, transport, and hotels in English without freezing.
  • Ask for directions, services, and prices clearly and politely.
  • Handle common travel problems like lost luggage or a hotel issue.
  • Order food, ask about a menu, and pay with confidence.

  3. 3Save the transport and hotel sections to your phone to re-shadow on the way.

Frequently asked questions
