Amy: Hey, this is Amy from Real English Conversations, and today we’re going to be talking about some of the different experiences we’ve had while traveling through various airports. And for the Real English tips we’re going to give you some ways to talk about different time zones.
Amy: Hey, guys, this is Amy and Curtis, and today we’re going to do a conversation that one of our listeners actually suggested to us. So who was that?
Curtis: That was Alfredo. And he’s living in Venezuela.
Amy: No, he is from Venezuela. Curtis: Oh, okay. Where’s he living?
Amy: He’s living in Argentina and working as a pilot.
Curtis: Oh, that’s a cool job.
Amy: So what did he ask us to talk about?
Curtis: Well, because he is a pilot, he asked us to talk about some of our experiences in airports.
Amy: And specifically doing it in another language.
Curtis: Yeah. This can be tricky at times.
Amy: Yeah, so if you guys have been listening to the podcasts for a while, you’re going to know we’ve done quite a bit of traveling. I mean, where have we been? We’ve been to…we went to Hawaii.
Curtis: Yeah.
Amy: And we’ve been to California. Curtis: We’ve been to Costa Rica.
Amy: Yeah. Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador. And upcoming we have a trip planned to Ecuador again. And to Colombia. And this next vacation is going to be three months, and I think we might be able to this time when we go to the airports, we might actually have an experience to do the whole process of the customs and like checking in with the customs agent and getting our passports stamped and stuff. I think we might be able to do it completely in Spanish this time.
Curtis: Yeah. I’m feeling a little more confident, that’s for sure.
Amy: Yeah. So the last times that we’ve traveled, we’ve really had a fairly limited level of the language.
Curtis: Yes.
Amy: You know, because I know when we came back from Ecuador, after we came back, after I had been there for six weeks, I was still just a beginner, looking back now. I thought I was better then than I was, but looking back now I can see I was…I was pretty basic.
Curtis: And I…I was basic basic. Amy: You were like a newbie1, like…

Why has nobody taught you how to study a English Conversation before?
This is a learning technique that I accidentally found when I was at an intermediate level but I felt overwhelmed by the number of words, grammar, and expressions I still needed to learn.
I felt like every time I learned something new… there was more I had to learn. To make it worse, there were so many resources available online! It was hard to find a good resource that would teach me the real life language that is used every day for the INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED level.
I am a native English speaker but I was studying Spanish on my own. For about 14 years but I was stuck at a beginner level until I started to study the right things.
Once I discovered this technique of studying real conversations, my level in the language improved from a beginner to a confident advanced speaker quickly, without as much effort. Which is why we decided to build a website based on the most effective techniques I have personally used and I know work very well.
One of the key parts to building vocabulary and improving my listening skills was having access to good audio of real conversations and accurate transcriptions. Which is why we make sure that every one of our audio lessons has either subtitled videos or includes access to English Conversations Lessons with a PDF.
I’d like to share a secret with you…
All you need right now to improve your English to the next level is a method and resource that focuses on the right English, real English. By learning and seeing the right words, right verbs and hearing interesting phrases that real people actually use, you are going to feel more confident speaking while advancing your English level quickly.
The fact is, many courses or textbooks teach you vocabulary and expressions that aren’t often used in everyday communication.
Why waste your time trying to memorize words that you are never going to use during English conversations? I mean, it’s a boring and useless technique that will not help your ability to communicate with real English in the real world.
Imagine being able to see a big improvement in your English comprehension and speaking abilities within a few weeks? We can help you to advance with your English, improve your confidence, understand more and speak easier.
The best part is you get to listen to interesting conversations that are enjoyable to listen to. Compared to studying boring scripted audio that isn’t authentic!

On this site, we focus on show students learning techniques you can use to teach yourself English without a classroom or teacher 🙂
Becoming a confident, fluent and advanced English speaker does not have to be boring or difficult. The truth is that many of the typical methods to learn English don’t help you to learn the real English that you are going to need for the real world. Such as: getting a better job or studying internationally, passing an English speaking exam or for traveling.
To get different results, you’ll need to try something different!
