## Resource

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?
