I'm Anna.

And I'm Ben.

We're really happy you're here with us today.

Whether you're at home, on the bus, or out for a walk, welcome.

Ben, let me ask you something.

Is there a place in the world that you really want to visit someday? place you think about and dream about?

Oh yes, immediately.

Yes, there is one place I always think about.

Me too.

And today that is our topic.

We're going to talk about dream destinations, places we want to visit someday, and we'll learn how to talk about them in English.

Yes?

You'll learn four useful phrases today, like I've always wanted to go to, and one day I will.

These phrases are simple and beautiful, and you can use them anytime someone asks, where do you want to travel?

It has all the vocabulary and practice exercises.

And we have a listening and speaking challenge at the end.

So keep listening until the very last minute.

Alright, let's get started.

Where in the world do you want to go?

Anna.

I'll start with my question.

Where is your dream place?

The one place you've always wanted to visit?

Umm...

Hmm.

Okay.

For me, it's Japan.

Tokyo, specifically.

I've always wanted to go to Tokyo.

Oh wow.

Why Tokyo?

Everything about it sounds amazing to me.

The food, the streets, the lights at night.

I heard it's beautiful, especially in spring, when the cherry blossom trees are blooming.

I heard it's beautiful.

Yes, that phrase is very useful.

It means someone told you, or you read somewhere, that a place is wonderful.

You haven't been there yet, but you heard good things.

Exactly.

I've never been to Japan.

But I heard it's beautiful.

I heard the food is incredible.

I heard the people are very kind.

And can you imagine yourself there?

Yes.

I can imagine myself there, sitting in a small cafe in Tokyo, drinking green tea, watching people walk by outside the window.

That sounds like a perfect scene.

It really does.

And I think about it sometimes when I feel tired.

I close my eyes and I think, one day I will go there.

One day.

One day I will.

That's a phrase full of hope.

It means you haven't done it yet, but you believe you will.

Someday.

Yes.

Not maybe.

Not I want to.

But one day I will.

It feels more certain.

More like a promise to yourself.

Huh.

I love that.

Okay, my turn.

I've always wanted to go to Iceland.

Iceland?

Ah!

Oh, that's so different from Tokyo.

Why Iceland?

The Northern Lights.

I heard it's beautiful.

The sky turns green and purple at night.

I've seen photos, and every time I see them, I think, I have to go there.

I can imagine myself there, standing in the snow, looking up at a sky full of colors.

Exactly.

I can imagine myself there, standing in a big open field, completely silent, watching the lights move above me.

That gives me chills just thinking about it.

Me too.

And one day I will go.

I don't know when, but one day.

I believe you, Ben.

So, listeners, where is your dream place?

Is it a city?

A country?

A beach?

A mountain?

Write in the comments.

You can start with, I've always wanted to go to.

Tell us your dream destination.

Ben?

Oh, I think many people have a dream place in their heart.

But sometimes it's hard to talk about it in English.

So let's practice with different situations.

Yes.

Let's imagine some everyday conversations where you can use these four phrases.

Okay, first situation.

100

Imagine you're talking to a new friend.

101

They ask, so, do you like to travel?

102

Where do you want to go someday?

103

And you answer, I've always wanted to go to Italy.

104

I heard it's beautiful, the old buildings, the food, the countryside.

105

Perfect.

106

And your friend says, really?

107

What would you do there?

108

And you say, I can imagine myself there, sitting at a little restaurant,

109

eating fresh pasta and drinking coffee in the morning sun.

110

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

111

And your friend says, do you think you'll go?

112

And you say, I don't know exactly when, but one day I will.

113

I really believe that.

114

Four phrases.

115

One short, natural conversation.

116

Very easy to follow.

117

Second situation.

118

Imagine you're at work.

119

Your colleague just came back from a holiday.

120

They show you photos, and you see a beautiful beach somewhere.

121

You look at the photo and you say, Oh, wow.

122

Where is this?

123

I've always wanted to go somewhere like this.

124

And they tell you, it's in Greece.

125

And you say, I heard it's beautiful there.

126

The water is so blue in the photos.

127

And they show you more photos.

128

And you look at the sea, the white buildings, the sunshine, and you say...

129

I can imagine myself there, just sitting by the water.

130

No phone, no work, just peace.

131

Yes, that is the dream.

132

And you finish with, one day I will go, maybe next year, maybe in five years, but one day.

133

That's a very real conversation, very natural.

134

Third situation.

135

A child asks you, where do you want to go when you grow up?

136

Or maybe a young student asks you, what is your travel dream?

137

And you answer simply, I've always wanted to go to New Zealand.

138

I heard it's beautiful, mountains, green hills, amazing nature.

139

I can imagine myself there, hiking and breathing in fresh air.

140

Ah, one day I will go, and when I do, it will be wonderful.

141

Simple sentences, clear words, but full of feeling.

142

Yes, these phrases work for any dream place, any conversation, any age.

143

So, listeners, think about a conversation you might have this week.

144

Maybe someone asks you about travel.

145

Maybe you see a beautiful photo online.

146

Can you use one of today's phrases?

147

Try it.

148

And tell us in the comments, where is one place you've always wanted to go, and why?

Ben, let's talk about something a little deeper.

152

Why do we have dream places?

153

Why do we think about places we've never been?

154

Hmm, that's a good question.

155

I think a dream place is more than just a location.

156

It's a feeling.

157

What do you mean?

158

When I think about Iceland, I'm not just thinking about the country.

159

I'm thinking about how I want to feel.

160

Free, quiet, amazed.

161

Like the world is bigger than my daily life.

162

Oh, I understand that completely.

163

When I think about Tokyo, I imagine feeling excited, curious.

164

Like everything is new, and I am seeing the world with fresh eyes.

165

Curious.

166

That means you want to know more.

167

You want to discover and explore.

168

Yes.

169

And I think that feeling, curiosity, is very healthy.

170

It keeps us looking forward.

171

It gives us something to hope for.

172

Right.

173

Even if we never go to that place, just having the dream makes life feel bigger, more exciting.

174

That's true.

175

One day I will.

176

That phrase is not just about travel.

177

It's about believing in the future.

178

Yes.

179

Believing that good things are coming.

180

That life has more chapters to write.

181

And I think sharing your dream place with someone is also special.

182

When you say, I've always wanted to go to, you are sharing a little piece of your inner world.

183

Yes.

184

You are saying, this is what I dream about.

185

This is what makes my eyes light up.

186

And when someone listens and says, really?

187

Tell me more?

188

That is a wonderful moment of connection.

189

I remember telling my friend about Iceland for the first time, and she didn't just say cool.

190

She asked me, what would you do there?

191

What do you most want to see?

192

And suddenly I was talking for 20 minutes about the Northern lights.

193

Because when someone asks about your dream, you have so much to say. So much.

194

Because you've been thinking about it for years.

195

You just needed someone to ask.

196

And now, with today's phrases, you can share that dream in English too.

197

Not just in your own language. In English.

198

Mmm.

199

I've always wanted to go to.

200

I heard it's beautiful.

201

I can imagine myself there.

202

One day I will.

203

Four phrases.

204

And a whole dream behind them. So, listeners.

205

Close your eyes for just one second.

206

Think about your dream place.

207

What does it look like?

208

What do you hear?

209

What do you smell?

210

What do you feel?

211

And then open your eyes and tell us, in English, right here in the comments.

212

We would love to travel there with you, even just in our imagination.

213

Tell us your dream place and one thing you imagine doing there.

214

Now, it's time for your listening and speaking challenge.

215

First, the listening task.

216

Please listen to this episode again from the beginning.

217

While you listen, uh, find all the places where we use these four phrases.

218

I've always wanted to go to.

219

I heard it's beautiful.

220

One day I will.

221

I can imagine myself there.

222

Count how many times you hear each one.

223

Write them down in your notebook.

224

Now for your speaking challenge.

225

Try to say three to five sentences about your dream place.

226

Use the phrases from today.

227

For example, I've always wanted to go to Thailand.

228

I heard it's beautiful, the beaches, the food, the temples.

229

I can imagine myself there, eating street food by the sea.

230

One day I will go.

231

Practice saying it out loud, slowly and clearly.

232

And if you want, write your sentences in the comments.

233

We would love to hear about your dream place.

234

And for an optional writing task, write a short paragraph about your dream destination.
