Learn to talk about travel and traffic in context as Paul tries to reach an office before it closes.
For years, the world’s leading second language learning experts have been telling us that the best way to pick up conversational language is through comprehensible input and in context. And I heartily agree. So what better way to get that than by going on a journey.
That’s precisely the idea behind HIT THE ROAD PAUL, a fun story-based micro fluency course designed for intermediate speakers (learners) of English who wish to increase their active knowledge of real-world phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocations in order to discuss a common subject.
And hey, if you don’t drive or don’t even like cars, don’t worry. As long as you’ve had the experience of traveling in a car or a bus on the road, then the language here will be useful for everyday conversation. And what’s even better, the journey will be fun!
So, let’s hit the road together as we go on the last leg of our road trip together and you get to find out if I make it on time.
It was a weekday and I only had 45 minutes to get to an office in downtown Buenos Aires to pick up a document. I decided to record the event with cameras and microphones to see if I could make educational use of my trip. The result is this course which I separated into 4 episodes.
In each episode, I focus on a different topic related to travel and traffic. Of course, at the end, you find out if I make it to my destination on time. But along the way, you will have a chance to learn and practice idioms, phrasal verbs, and collocations, as you hear me speak using real speaking patterns, commonly found in conversational language.
