1
Okay, let me just extend that.
2
Let's have a look at some of the vocabulary here,
3
just to get it really, really clear, right?
4
So, to travel can be a verb,
5
to travel from A to B,
6
to go from point A to be.
7
So I travel by bus when I go to work.
8
Notice travel by is the form of transport,
9
as you've said very, very clearly.
10
The word families, so travel can also be a noun.
11
If it's uncountable, then this is the act of travelling.
12
So we often say we use,
13
it's, well, okay, I hate air travel, right?
14
It's a kind of travel.
15
It's the act of travelling.
16
I hate air travel.
17
I love economy travel.
18
Do you have any travel plans this summer?
19
Here, travel is a noun.
20
It's acting as an adjective,
21
so it's a noun phrase travel plans.
22
Do you have any travel plans?
23
Here it's uncountable, okay?
24
You cannot say a travel.
25
Some people say I'm going on a travel.
26
I notice a lot of my Spanish friends say I'm going on a travel
27
because un viaje y viajar are the same but travel cannot be countable.
28
You can't say a travel, right?
29
It's just the act of travelling.
30
However, English is strange because you can use it in the plural as a countable noun.
31
You can say travels.
32
Not a travel, no, but travels, yes, meaning journeys.
33
Tell me about your travels around Europe.
34
Okay.
35
So different journeys.
36
Imagine the situation.
37
My daughter, she's now 19.
38
Oh my God.
39
Anyway, she's 19 and maybe in the summer she will travel to some different countries in Europe.
40
She would like to go on some journeys to Italy, to France.
41
She will be going to different countries.
42
We can talk about her travels.
43
And I will say, are you excited about your travels to Europe?
44
And when she comes back,
45
I will say, tell me about your travels to Europe.
46
It's different journeys.
47
So travels as a plural we can use in English.
48
English is a bit weird, right?
49
I can say that because I'm English.
50
So travels.
51
Tell me about your travels around Europe.
52
So here travel is uncountable.
53
Some good examples here.
54
Travel bags.
55
Very good.
56
Travel bags is a nice one.
57
Gulliver's travels where his journey is right.
58
Exactly.
59
That's exactly it.
60
Yes.
61
some famous people died during air travel that is very very true yes
62
yep I'm going to come back to
63
that travel plans excellent say let me move on traveling as a noun can be uncountable traveling is my biggest hobby Again,
64
it acts as a noun.
65
It's like smoking is my worst habit or playing the guitar is my favourite hobby.
66
Travelling is my biggest hobby.
67
The collocations we typically use to travel abroad,
68
right, to go to a foreign country, to travel on holiday.
69
So notice on holiday.
70
Domestic travel.
71
Actually, let me put, let me change that because to travel abroad,
72
the opposite is domestic travel.
73
You can also say international travel,
74
but here as a verb, to travel on holiday.
75
And then we've got the classic to travel by bus,
76
by plane, by boat, by car.
77
But notice, and some of you have mentioned this in the comments,
78
thank you, on foot.
79
I don't know why, it's just on foot, travel on foot.
80
And why is it Why is it one foot, right?
81
I mean, that's crazy.
82
When you walk, you use two feet.
83
Why do you say travel on foot?
84
I mean, that's like...
85
It's like you're hopping.
86
It's insane to say travel on foot, but it means walking.
87
I hope that helps you remember to travel on foot.
88
Okay.
89
Christine, good question.
90
Can I say I have a trip?
91
Yes, I have a trip planned for next year.
92
I have a travel no. I have a travelling no. So you're correct.
93
Christine, yes.
94
Yes.
95
Excellent.
96
Good.
97
Hiking is on foot.
98
You're right.
99
Travel by walking.
100
It's a bit strange.
101
It's a bit strange.
102
Just say walking or hiking.
103
Travel by foot Almost Travel by foot No,
104
travel on foot Let me help you The Jacob's Way Yes,
105
do you mean the Camino de Santiago?
106
St. James' Way, I think it's called, isn't it?
107
St. James' Way Travelling, is there a difference?
108
Travelling abroad and to travel abroad?
109
Yes, so travelling abroad is the noun phrase, okay?
110
Travelling abroad is interesting.
111
It's a noun.
112
To travel abroad, to travel abroad,
113
it could be used as a noun phrase.
114
To travel abroad is interesting,
115
but we don't normally do that.
116
Normally in English, the noun phrase is the ing, the gerund.
117
Travelling is interesting.
118
Driving a car is difficult.
119
We don't use the infinitive normally.
120
You can say, I like to travel abroad.
121
But if it's a noun phrase at the start, then we use...
122
Oh, your comment's gone.
123
Then we use travelling abroad.
124
That's the noun phrase at the start, not the other one.
125
Okay.
126
Natalia, you have itchy feet.
127
That's a great idiom, meaning you love traveling, right?
128
Tour and a trip.
129
Let me explain.
130
And why is it domestic and not internal?
131
You can say internal travel within the country,
132
but domestic travel is much more common.
133
Internal travel, it doesn't quite sound right.
134
It sounds like something the police may say rather than generally speaking.
135
So let me explain a common mistake.
136
I went on a travel.
137
That's the common mistake.
138
I wrote that because I hear it a lot.
139
Correct is I went on a trip or I went on a journey.
140
I'll just explain the difference, right?
141
A trip is where you're going somewhere and coming back.
142
So a trip to France,
143
I go to France and I come back.
144
A trip to the bank,
145
I go to the bank and I come back.
146
Usually a short time, right?
147
A trip to the park.
148
It's not for months.
149
So a trip to Australia could be two or three weeks.
150
It's a short time.
151
If you go to Australia for a year,
152
it's not really a trip.
153
A trip then is normally a short time and it's going there and back.
154
So to go on a trip,
155
again, notice on a trip is on holiday.
156
If you go on a trip,
157
normally it's the meaning of holiday for leisure or for pleasure.
158
Leisure, pleasure.
159
Interesting.
160
To go on a trip, go on a holiday.
161
To go on a tour is to visit in and around a place,
162
typically a city or a museum.
163
When you go to a museum,
164
you can go on a tour of the museum.
165
in many countries in Europe at least we have something called
166
the hop on remember hop I'm not going to do it again hop on hop off bus
167
and it's a tour bus
168
that goes around the city there's one in Santander you can
169
go to the near the centro botín there's a bus stop big red sign hop on hop off bus.
170
You buy a ticket for 24 hours.
171
You can get on and get off anywhere as it goes around the city.
172
That is a tour bus.
173
And you go on a tour of the city.
174
You can go on a tour of the botting centre.
175
You can go on a tour of a museum.
176
So that's the idea of a tour, right?
177
A little bit different.
178
And I'll just explain a journey.
179
A journey is only the traveling bit.
180
Okay, so example by train,
181
a journey by train, a journey by car,
182
or the journey lasted 20 minutes.
183
Different from a trip.
184
A trip is going there,
185
spending time there and coming back.
186
The journey is just the travelling bit So if I go on a trip to France for two days A weekend trip
187
The journey there is two hours The journey back is two hours But the trip is the journey
188
The tour of the city The restaurant,
189
the hotel And then the journey back So the journey is the motion, the travelling bit.
190
That's the journey.
191
And an outing is a very short trip, normally half a day.
192
Typically an outing to a park, to a zoo.
193
Normally also organised.
194
by a school or parents.
195
So the outing has the idea of an organised trip,
196
very short time, maybe half a day,
197
typically a park or a zoo.
198
It's an outing.
199
Okay, so that, those are the words.
200
So there you've got your question what's the difference between a tour and a trip?
201
A tour is visiting in and around a place.
202
A trip is like a holiday.
203
It's everything together.
204
It's much bigger.
205
Can I say go for a walking or go for a hiking?
206
No, no. You would say,
207
Celine, I'll help you here.
208
You would say go for a walk or go hiking.
209
Celine, come back.
210
okay let me just change something because I've realized the comments are disappearing really quickly
211
and I'm going to change that because it's too fast okay updated Celine where are you come back
212
Celine's like, I didn't go anywhere.
213
So the answer is go for a walk or go hiking, go walking.
214
Okay.
215
It's one or the other.
216
You either go for a walk or you go walking.
217
Go for a hike or go hiking.
218
Both are correct.
219
That's the answer.
220
Camino de Santiago.
221
Yes.
222
Okay, great.
223
Hopefully I've answered your question there.
224
Journey, trip and travel.
225
Serena, you're right.
226
The idea of travelling on foot is a bit idiomatic.
227
That's why it works.
228
You're right.
229
Yes.
230
We can talk about a business trip for sure.
231
An excursion, Elvira, is nice.
232
An excursion is a bit like
233
an outing
234
so an excursion
235
oh it's a trip
236
nice it's a trip
237
and an outing they're very similar right trip outing excursion excursion is a bit more adventure for me
238
but it's an organised trip yeah good can I say meditation
239
is a travel within itself.
240
No, even though you're being abstract,
241
meditation is a trip within yourself or meditation is traveling within yourself.
242
EG means example, correct?
243
Yes.
244
Elvira, you're learning Spanish from me.
245
Viajar.
246
Un viaje.
247
Un tour.
248
Daniela says, in London, Kristin and I went on an exciting tour at the British Museum.
249
Very good.
250
Very, very good.
251
OK.
252
Excellent.
253
Meaning of staycation.
254
So this is a more modern word.
255
A staycation is a vacation where you stay at home.
256
It's a holiday where you don't travel,
257
you stay at home and relax.
258
Stay-cation.
259
Stay at home plus vacation.
260
Very nice.
261
English with Will.
262
Hello, Will.
263
To go on an outing when I wander around the town.
264
Not really, because an outing is normally organised, right?
265
It's an organised trip.
266
So normally an outing, you organise other people,
267
your friends or your children.
268
I think if it's just you wandering around town,
269
I wouldn't say go on an outing.
270
Unless you're being metaphorical, right?
271
Okay, let's move on.
272

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
