Travel / Speaking practice
Travel English conversation practice
A useful travel conversation ends with both people understanding the next step. Ask clearly, check the important detail, and ask again when you need to.
Conversation 01 / Beginner
Find your way
Your turn
You did not catch the last part of the directions. Ask again.
Ask for clarification instead of pretending to understand.
Example answer
Sorry, could you repeat the last part? Do I turn left or right after the bank?
Your turn
Repeat the directions back to check that they are correct.
Use sequence words and finish with a check.
Example answer
So I go straight ahead, turn left at the bank, and the station is on my right. Is that correct? Thank you for your help.
Conversation 02 / Beginner
Check in, settle in
Your turn
You have arrived at a hotel. Ask to check in.
Give your name and the length of your stay.
Example answer
Hello, I have a reservation under Sam Patel for two nights. Could I check in, please?
Your turn
Ask about breakfast and the check-out time.
Ask two clear questions, with a pause between them.
Example answer
What time is breakfast served, and is it included in my booking? What time do I need to check out?
Your turn
The air conditioning in your room is not working. Call reception.
Give your room number, explain the issue, and request help.
Example answer
Hello, I'm in room 204. The air conditioning isn't working. Could someone come and take a look, please?
Make it natural
Check the detail that matters
Repeat names, times, prices, and directions back to the other person. If you still do not understand, ask them to write it down or point it out on a map. Asking twice is more useful than a confident guess.
