But when they travel to an English-speaking country, they don’t know what to say!

It’s because all those hours of study didn’t teach the practical phrases used in everyday travel situations.

Don’t let this happen to you! Take the Travel English Course. You’ll learn what to say at the airport and hotels, in restaurants and public transportation, while shopping and sightseeing, and much more.

The Travel English Course will help you improve: your vocabulary your speaking ability your confidence…before your next trip. You’ll get 30 lessons with text, audio, and practice exercises that you can download.
