Are you ready to immerse yourself in a real English conversation?

Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com and today I have a special guest.

This is my husband, Dan.

Hello.

And we're going to be having a real English conversation today about travel, some surprising things that we've experienced,

some embarrassing things we've done abroad and I hope

that this conversation will help you to immerse yourself in English

so that you can feel confident talking about your travels in English too.

And like always, I have created a free PDF worksheet, which is right now over Dan's face.

It includes all of today's questions, vocabulary that just naturally comes up in our conversation,

definitions, sample sentences, and at the bottom of the worksheet,

you can answer Vanessa's challenge question so that you never forget what you've learned in today's lesson.

You can click on the link in the description to download that free PDF worksheet today.

All right, Dan, are you ready to get started?

I'm ready.

Let's talk about traveling.

Okay.

Well, I have a couple questions prepared and I don't really know what we're going to say along the way.

This is just a...

These are the best conversations.

Real conversation.

I think.

All right.

My first question- That's why I'm here.

Yes.

My first question is, where was the first place you traveled abroad?

Uh, the first place I traveled abroad.

Well, the first place that felt like I traveled abroad was actually New York City.

Oh.

Because when you're in America, if you've never been to New York before, it feels like a different country because there's really no place like it.

And there's just like so much diversity and action going on there.

But that's a bit of a cheat.

The real first place I traveled abroad was Costa Rica.

How old were you?

18. Okay.

Yeah, I was 18 and I went with my school, our college that we went to where we met,

and we went on a winter trip, I guess you would call it.

I don't remember what they called it.

study trip.

Yeah.

They called it something and I was a biology major back then.

Ha ha ha.

Not anymore.

So we traveled to Costa Rica to do basically exploration of animals and biodiversity there.

So we stayed in like little huts and stuff and heard the sounds of the jungle all around us.

It was not very, it wasn't a very like cultural experience, I don't think.

It was a very nature-based experience.

Yeah.

Even though there was a sprinkling of that every now and then, but I remember we went to resorts and stuff, so those places are really catering to,

let's say, the Western audience.

Yeah.

So it didn't really feel as legit as some of the other travels I've done abroad later in life.

Yeah.

How about you?

My first time traveling abroad was when I studied abroad my senior year, which is my final year of college,

and I studied abroad in the UK, in England, in a town called Oxford, and I studied abroad at Oxford University.

It sounds very academic and like,

oh, you have to be extremely smart to be able to study abroad at Oxford, but let me tell you- That's how I felt looking at the pictures.

I was like, whoa.

I mean, the city- She's in Hogwarts.

The city of Oxford.

Yes, they filmed a lot of Harry Potter in Oxford, and that city is so beautiful.

It is fantastic.

I highly recommend visiting, but the study abroad program from our college was kind of just your grades had to be okay,

and then you had to fill out the visa paperwork and you could go.

Sounds like a win to me.

It was great.

This was the first time I'd ever traveled by myself and the first time I had ever left the US.

So it was definitely one of those life-changing experiences where I could be independent, see the world a bit.

I had some money saved, so I got to travel through Europe a bit as well.

I wasn't sure you'd ever come back.

It was wonderful.

It was so lovely.

She caught the bug.

If you go to London ...

The travel bug.

Yes, the travel bug.

You can get the bus to Oxford.

It goes like every 10 minutes from London to Oxford, and it's so easy to get there, so beautiful.

Highly recommend it.

Yeah.

Thank you, England.

It was cool.

I went one time.

She lived there.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was great.

So my next question is kind of a follow-up of that, because I think there's a stereotype of Americans.

I want to know, do you think it's true

that most Americans don't travel abroad because it is definitely a position of privilege.

You have to have money, you have to have connections, all of this to be able to travel abroad, no matter what country you live in,

but it's kind of a stereotype, right?

Americans don't travel to other countries.

Yeah, it's a stereotype and I think it's generally true.

Yeah, I mean, America's is just so big

and people who live here tend to be like we have

a large rural population I would say like people who just live in their small towns

100

and they never leave

101

or like even like a bigger city I used to live

102

in Pittsburgh is a very like insular city like the people

103

live there they have their sports teams they love it this is what we do this is Pittsburgh We're Pittsburghers for life,

104

so a lot of cities are like that as well.

105

Yeah, my uncle, my aunt and uncle live in Pittsburgh.

106

And until a few years ago, they had never left the city of Pittsburgh.

107

Even the state.

108

Even the city of Pittsburgh.

109

They had never left the city of Pittsburgh until a couple years ago.

110

And ironically, the reason they left Pittsburgh was to go watch some Pittsburgh sports games in other cities.

111

But I think that is kind of...

112

The stereotype, but I did do a little research.

113

Oh, you got numbers.

114

The general stat that I found was that as of 2023, 52% of Americans have passports.

115

Okay.

116

So the majority of people do.

117

That's more than I'd expect.

118

And it said that it's risen a lot.

119

It said it was only 5% in 1990.

120

Are they going to Canada?

121

That's the question.

122

Canada doesn't count.

123

If you asked a random person on the street in the US, have you been to another country?

124

Not in a big city, just in a small city.

125

If they say yes, I kind of guarantee, I might even bet $50 that they would say, oh yeah, I've been to another country.

126

I've been to Niagara Falls.

127

Yeah.

128

You know, that's like the stereotypical place.

129

You know, I'm thinking more about it though.

130

And there's a lot of like border crossings though with Mexico.

131

So there's like a lot of people who are probably like citizens who have family back in Mexico.

132

That probably happens quite a bit.

133

I'd imagine the majority live on the borders.

134

Yeah, maybe even more than Canada.

135

Yeah, maybe so.

136

But I think it's...

137

Just a guess.

138

When I first traveled abroad, I got responses from people, from other people in my life.

139

Like, are you sure you want to do that?

140

You're going to go alone to England?

141

That's not safe.

142

They were really concerned.

143

Why would you do that?

144

And I was definitely gung-ho like, I'm going to do this.

145

This is going to be great.

146

And certainly when you've traveled abroad and come back home, those arguments just sound really silly.

147

Most places, a lot of places in the world are extremely safe and totally fine to travel to.

148

And to hear from people around me, oh, you shouldn't do that.

149

Why would you do that?

150

It was really shocking and pretty common.

151

Yeah, stuff sounds scary to Americans, like subway travel.

152

If you're from regular middle America, they're like, oh, you're just going underground and ride on a train.

153

Yeah.

154

I think some people would like to travel, would like to go to Paris or would like to go to London,

155

these kind of stereotypical places that appeal to Americans.

156

Selfie by the Eiffel Tower.

157

Yes.

158

high tourist destinations, but it is true we don't have much vacation time in the US compared to Europe for example,

159

and it's so expensive.

160

If you're in France and you want to go to Italy, so easy, so cheap, no problem.

161

Oh, you mean it's expensive for us to travel?

162

Yeah, if an American wants to go to Rome, it is extremely expensive.

163

Far away.

164

Yeah, it's far, you have to have a lot of vacation time, it's expensive.

165

I understand.

166

It's a cultural thing too, like that fear we were talking about of the unknown.

167

If you have never known anyone who has left the US, like the people who were talking to me, of course you would think it was scary and why would you do that?

168

But the more people you know who have traveled, the less scary it is, the more normal it is.

169

Yeah.

170

And I I bet it's changing too, just based on the interconnectedness of the world. For sure.

171

People getting new ideas and wanting to travel around. For sure. For sure.

172

Makes sense.

173

All right, you ready for my next question?

174

Yes.

175

It's getting a little bit embarrassing with the next question.

176

Oh dear.

177

All right, I want to know what is a cultural mistake that you've made while you were abroad?

178

How much time do we have?

179

Probably more than I know

180

because I'm one of those people who just like miss the cultural mistake and I'll be like, what?

181

I guess this was one of those times, right?

182

So in France when we we worked on some farms Willing workers on organic farms, woofing is what we did.

183

For a couple months.

184

For a little bit And so we were on this farm

185

and this lady who was kind of running the program I don't speak any French.

186

You speak a lot of French Um, so she comes up, like walks up towards me to give me the, uh, what have we- Bisou?

187

Bisou.

188

So like a little kiss on your cheek as a greeting?

189

Yeah.

190

But, you know, I don't know what that is and that's kind of awkward to me.

191

So she's just kind of like walking at me, towards me, to do this.

192

Big smile!

193

Good morning!

194

And I think I probably did like a little wave, like, hi!

195

But then like I went around her.

196

And so apparently she told you about this later like what's wrong with Dan?

197

Yeah, she came up to me later.

198

I was like, is Dan okay?

199

Is he sick?

200

Like he didn't she didn't understand why Dan didn't give her the bisous in the morning because in France it's Yeah,

201

you just you don't even need to put your lips you just put your cheek to their cheek

202

and For me when I first lived in France This was before our experience in France

203

That was definitely a culture shock for me because for Americans, your face- Never put your face near anybody.

204

.. is so intimate.

205

You don't get near my face unless you're my husband.

206

This is very intimate.

207

We do this.

208

We sometimes give hugs. Or this.

209

Oh, okay, yeah.

210

Sometimes give hugs, but when I- Side hugs.

211

I remember one time I went to a wedding in France and in the room, it was everyone from my French host family,

212

it was in a little official office.

213

It was just a small room where they were signing the documents.

214

I was introduced to every person, 30 people in the room, a bisous to every single person.

215

To each person.

216

I just remember thinking, I cannot imagine this happening in the US.

217

It's very American too.

218

In French, they're mad.

219

It's a stereotype, and for me, I actually, I got used to it because it was

220

so common just to give the Bisou that it becomes second nature almost.

221

I remember another time that I made a mistake.

222

I think I've shared this with my students before, but when we were in Korea,

223

I feel like these cultural mistakes happen when you're living in a place

224

because you're more aware of what should happen when you just travel for like a couple days.

225

You're not in tourist destinations as much either.

226

Yeah.

227

I remember in Korea, I was ordering some kimbap or something like a little rice roll at this small little restaurant.

228

It was our first or second week in Korea and I knew a couple words.

229

I knew America is Mi Guk and American is Mi Guk Sadam.

230

A lot of people asked us, where are you from?

231

Where are you from?

232

common question when you look different than the other people in the country.

233

So a lot of people asked us, where are you from?

234

Where are you from?

235

And I knew the word where in Korean.

236

So when I walked into the restaurant and I ordered kimbap to go- I don't remember that.

237

You weren't there.

238

Oh, okay.

239

The lady at the restaurant asked me a question that started with where, and I assumed that she was asking, where are you from?

240

But instead, she was asking, where do you want it delivered to?

241

Because it was a cultural thing that you don't wait there to get the food at that restaurant.

242

They will deliver it to you because we just worked in the next building

243

and she was expecting that they would just deliver it to me.

244

When she said, where, and the rest of her question, I said, meekook, America.

245

She looked at me like, you want me to deliver this food to America? what?

246

And then I tried to understand what is she talking about?

247

And I tried to just, I just stayed and waited until the food was cooked.

248

And then I took it with me.

249

But later I realized, oh, she thought I was saying I wanted the food delivered in America.

250

She wasn't asking that question.

251

That's funny.

252

Yeah.

253

That reminds me of when we went to a restaurant in Korea.

254

I don't know if this counts, but you don't really eat stuff with forks and knives, but we definitely asked for forks and knives for something.

255

I don't remember what it was, but that's definitely a classic American faux pas to be like, hey, can I have a fork and a knife over here?

256

Especially if it's like an Asian country that uses chopsticks.

257

I must say though, on our behalf, we got really good at using chopsticks.

258

Sure.

259

I can use them, no problem.

260

Well, they would make fun of the way I held it apparently.

261

I have a claw grip apparently.

262

Your little hands when you do this.

263

Yeah.

264

My little hands?

265

Because you were like this when you hold the chopsticks.

266

I like it.

267

All right.

268

The last and fourth question is this.

269

What were some times that you were surprised by something cultural in another country?

270

This is a huge question.

271

There are probably millions of times.

272

This is my favorite part about traveling because it's just kind of like constant surprises all the time.

273

Yeah.

274

It's really fun and interesting for people like us.

275

Yeah.

276

So, I would say in South Korea, because we lived there, I have the most experience there.

277

So many things surprised me about that country,

278

but one thing that really just jumps to mind from an American perspective is just the safety of the cities there.

279

So or well I mean almost everything is a city compared to America.

280

That's another surprise right?

281

It's like some people are rural but most people live in the city and in high-rise towers and stuff.

282

Yeah.

283

So just walking around especially at night you would just be going down dark alleys

284

or into the park at night and in America you just would never do that because

285

people whether it's true

286

or not people have it associated with danger like walking into

287

a dark alley at night I just remember like walking

288

and wanting being like should I be a little nervous

289

and then like a little kid pops out of the door

290

and it's like oh

291

or did you see like somebody like just taking a nap

292

with their phone sitting next to them like no big deal or we're in the park we're talking with our friends, we're drinking beer in the park.

293

Can't do that here usually.

294

I remember one time we went to the bank and our Korean coworker went with us to help translate.

295

And we had a bunch of cash because we'd just gotten out cash for some reason.

296

And we were trying to figure out how to get back to somewhere.

297

And she's like, oh, we can cut down this street.

298

And it was this little dark alley.

299

And I was like, we just have all this cash.

300

We just came from the bank.

301

Why would we go down this alley?

302

We'll go get mugged.

303

And it was totally fine.

304

Yeah.

305

It's just so shocking how safe it is.

306

It's not even that America is that dangerous, but it is more dangerous than a place like South Korea.

307

Yeah.

308

It just is.

309

So you just have built in, especially in cities, because for whatever reason,

310

the way American cities are organized or lack thereof, there's just a lot more crime in the city regions.

311

But people in South Korea, like everybody lives in the city.

312

This is our home of living in it all the time and it's a lot safer.

313

It's a totally different vibe.

314

One, I actually prefer.

315

I think America actually stinks at doing cities.

316

We could get a lot better at doing that and learn a thing or two.

317

That's just my opinion.

318

But yeah, that was really surprising to me.

319

Yeah.

320

I have a good safety anecdote where my sister, she lived in South Korea too for a period of time, but she didn't move there straight from the US.

321

She was living in Argentina

322

in Buenos Aires and then she moved to South Korea

323

and she told me the first day or the first day or two that she was in Korea,

324

she was on the bus and everyone was looking at their phones.

325

When she walked on the bus and she saw that everyone had a phone, she was scared.

326

She went and sat away from everybody who had a phone by herself because- They have to set their phones out.

327

She was certain that someone was going to come on the bus, grab their phones, and do something violent.

328

Because where she had been living in Buenos Aires, I don't know what it's like now.

329

Apparently Buenos Aires is worse?

330

I don't know what it's like now in Buenos Aires, maybe not everywhere there.

331

But she was so used to never showing, never wearing earrings or necklaces or her phone in public.

332

Somebody did like rip jewelry off her there, right?

333

Yeah, she got it.

334

Sorry Buenos Aires.

335

This is just what we've heard.

336

But that was her experience.

337

So when she moved to Korea, it was shocking.

338

The safety issue was shocking for her too.

339

And you just get used to it after a period of time.

340

But something that also surprised me, I wrote down a little- On a different note.

341

Yes, a little idea here too, is that

342

I was surprised how many people in various countries that we've lived in thought it was cool that we were American.

343

I felt embarrassed by that because when I...

344

Not France though, right?

345

It depends.

346

Because when I was living in France as a nanny, an au pair for a year,

347

and this scenario happened so many times where I was with my friends who were Austrian,

348

German, Australian, Swedish, and British.

349

And the group of us girls would go everywhere together.

350

We did so many things was wonderful time and

351

when we met people they would ask where are you from

352

and everyone would say where they were from and

353

when i said i was from the u.s you could tell they just stopped

354

and would say oh an american oh

355

and they would ask me questions like is it true this is it true this

356

and i guess it's a little more unusual i don't know i think there was something

357

because i think there are americans that travel but i don't know i felt so embarrassed by that Maybe your age.

358

I wasn't cooler than my friends.

359

I'm just a normal person.

360

Well...

361

You're a little biased here.

362

But it felt so weird to stop the conversation for something like that, especially when my friends are super cool.

363

Why not ask them about their countries?

364

And sometimes I said I was from Canada just to stop those questions.

365

I guess you didn't have the Euro vibe.

366

Maybe.

367

You know, Europe is not one country at all, even close to it, but you know, it's still more common maybe to be like,

368

hey, I guess they were taking like gap years too, right?

369

A lot of them.

370

So, maybe that's more of a common trend.

371

It surprised me that that was something, at least at that time, which was what, 15 years ago now almost?

372

That was cool.

373

Wow.

374

So maybe it's changed a lot because there's more American, real Americans out there in the world, so we're less cool.

375

I guess.

376

One other thing I wanted to- I know, should we say more?

377

Because you could talk about this forever.

378

I did have one other thing that I wanted to say- We'll say one more.

379

Was surprising, something cultural that was surprising,

380

was when we were teaching abroad in Korea, a lot of our family and friends said stuff to us like,

381

oh, aren't Koreans really good at education?

382

Their test scores are always the highest, like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean test scores.

383

It's kind of like a household knowledge in the US that especially East Asian students are really smart.

384

They get really high test scores.

385

And so because we were teaching in a school there, our family and friends often asked us, is it true?

386

What's that like? And...

387

Yes.

388

Yes.

389

Because they're worked to the bone.

390

That's the balance that is shocked me.

391

Yes, Korean students get great test scores, all of this, but what's the cost?

392

We were teaching seven, eight, and nine-year-olds at 7 PM, 8 PM at night.

393

And that was so normal.

394

For me, my heart broke for those kids.

395

You don't need to be in here all day studying.

396

They went from school to school to homework, to a little bit of sleep, to school, to school, to homework, to a little bit of sleep, over and over again.

397

What's the cost?

398

I think that that was something ...

399

I loved living in Korea, and it was wonderful, but at that job ...

400

Korean people, love you.

401

Yes, it was so great.

402

But this structure, I think that ...

403

A little iffy for the kids.

404

Yeah, for people like us who ...

405

Mental health too, it shows.

406

Yeah, really cared about the mental health of the kids and just other people, not just children.

407

But it was really hard to continue in that job specifically where we were participating in that.

408

And we were seeing that every day.

409

I think our best times with the students that we taught in Korea was when we took them outside the classroom.

410

We had a couple parties in the park, pizza parties in the park, or we took the kids to an amusement park, or we went to the zoo with the kids.

411

That was ...

412

They were using English all day, and it was no problem.

413

They were having a great time, and I felt like, oh, they can be kids.

414

They can learn English, but also be kids and have fun, and those are some of the most precious memories to me, I think, being in Korea.

415

Okay.

416

I got one more thing.

417

Okay.

418

What surprised me about traveling abroad is this is a little bit connected to what we've been talking about, but just how easy it is to travel everywhere.

419

So many other countries just have more buses,

420

more trains, more subways, more ways to get around and also just like infrastructure to walk places safely.

421

Like in America, there's lots of places that they design only for cars.

422

And you can't, like, maybe you could walk there, but nobody in their right mind wants to.

423

And so that's just like all over the place here.

424

But especially a place like South Korea, it's just so easy to get everywhere.

425

It's in the entire country.

426

Like we would take, you know, a trip from the city we were in to the beach.

427

and it was very easy to take just different sources of transportation to get there without a car.

428

Yeah, that's pretty common in Europe too.

429

You can take a train and we haven't visited everywhere in the world.

430

Obviously, there's big gaps in our experience like South America, Africa, Southeast Asia.

431

We haven't been to a lot of those places, but someday.

432

But I think to this point, I'm curious for those of you watching this,

433

if you have visited the US and you have visited a place that was not New York City, not LA, not San Francisco,

434

how did you get around?

435

Did you rent a car?

436

If you went to go visit, I don't know, Houston, Texas, how did you get around?

437

Did you have to rent a car?

438

Did you take a bus?

439

I'm very curious what international travelers to the US who visit not big cities, what do you do?

440

Maybe you rent a car.

441

I mean, that's a very possible thing to do.

442

That's pretty much how you got to do it.

443

You got to do it like that.

444

Yeah.

445

I'm very curious to hear what you have to say.

446

And I want to say, thank you, Dan, for participating in this conversation.

447

You're welcome.

448

It's always great to have another half of the conversation, not just me talking, because a lot of my students can understand me by myself,

449

but to add another person, It's a good level of challenge.

450

Yeah.

451

You know me, I'm always game for easygoing conversation.

452

Well, I'm glad you are.

453

Thank you.

454

And also I wanted to let you know, if you enjoyed this style of conversation where we are speaking real English about real topics

455

that you can use in your daily life, I want to invite you to join us in our course, The Fearless Fluency Club.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
