Practical English for Travelling Abroad

What will you learn?

By the end of this 30-minute lesson, you will have practised useful English phrases for everyday travel situations in an English-speaking country. You will learn how to ask for directions, find your way around, ask about prices, shop, order food and use public transport. You will also develop your confidence in speaking naturally, using polite expressions and understanding common everyday conversations.

What does a typical lesson look like?

Each lesson combines practical vocabulary, conversational practice and interactive role-play. We will begin with greetings and introductions before moving on to common travel scenarios, such as asking a local for directions, buying something in a shop or ordering at a café. We will finish with a role-play exercise and personalised feedback to help you improve.

What is my teaching style?

My approach is friendly, patient and practical. I aim to create a comfortable environment where you can practise speaking without worrying about making mistakes. I will adapt the conversation to your current English level, explain unfamiliar expressions and offer constructive feedback on your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. My focus is on helping you use English confidently in real-life situations rather than simply memorising phrases.

Who is this lesson for?

This lesson is ideal for beginners and intermediate English learners who are preparing to travel, study or spend time in an English-speaking country. It is also suitable for anyone who wants to improve their conversational English and become more comfortable communicating with native speakers.

What should you prepare?

You do not need to bring any special materials. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to practise! If you have an upcoming trip, feel free to share your destination or any situations you are particularly nervous about so we can tailor the lesson to your needs.

Why choose this lesson?

As a native English speaker from the UK, I can help you become familiar with natural British English, everyday expressions and polite ways to communicate. The lesson is interactive, personalised and focused on situations you are likely to encounter while travelling. You will have the opportunity to practise speaking, ask questions and receive individual feedback in a supportive environment.

My aim is to help you leave each session feeling more prepared, confident and comfortable using English in the real world.
