Summary
Traveling Abroad vs Staying Home and Why Both Are Great for English | Everyday English Academy Some people learn English on a train platform in a foreign city, and some learn it on the sofa with a drama and the subtitles switched off. Sarah and Mike compare the two, travelling abroad and staying home, and talk honestly about what each one really gives you, from ordering coffee at a café counter to sticking notes on your fridge. If you have ever felt bad about not being able to afford a trip, this slow English conversation is for you. Can you really improve your English without leaving your own country? Sarah and Mike answer that with real examples, so you will learn how to talk about your comfort zone and when to venture out of it, how to say you can get by in a language, how to describe that flat stage when you feel stuck (a plateau), how to pick up words from a series you watch every evening, and how to ask a stranger for directions when the paper map is upside down. This episode is perfect for A2 - B1 English learners who want to talk about travel, study habits and language progress in everyday conversation, and who want practical ways to get more English exposure at home. 💡 Tip: Pick one show tonight and repeat every line out loud right after the speaker. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:33 Talk About Traveling Abroad in English 1:56 Everyday Words for Traveling Abroad 3:40 Using When and Past Perfect Correctly 7:58 Everyday Words for Studying English at Home 16:38 Speaking Practice 18:29 Vocabulary Review and Next Episode 📚 Vocabulary in this episode • immerse: put yourself fully into something • immersion: being fully surrounded by a language • worthwhile: worth the time and effort • fumble: handle something clumsily • venture out: go somewhere new, even if it fee…
