Curtis: I’ve been pulled over for tailgating2 an ambulance. Amy: Oh, my God. I didn’t think that was the story he was going to pick. Curtis: No, this is a very, very bad thing to do. I don’t recommend you doing this. Amy: Okay. What’s tailgating? Curtis: Tailgating is following somebody too close. So usually you have to leave a car length in between the car in front of you and your car. And I at that point … Amy: Had a very, very bad habit of driving way too close. Curtis: Right. And in between–or I was in between the emergency ambulance vehicle in front of me and a police car behind me. But I didn’t know it was a police car because it didn’t have the lights.

Airport Travelhttps://realenglishconversations.podbean.com/mf/web/td7e2u/AirportTravelWebsite.mp3Transcription Preview
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.

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…

About the Teachers on Real English Conversations
Curtis and I (Amy) are from Canada in North America. We have a passion for traveling and teaching real English to help students improve their communication skills.
Learning a language as an adult is challenging. I have first hand experience learning a second language to fluency.
After taking vacations in several countries in Central and South America, we decided to follow our dreams and move to another country.
Now, we live in Mexico. Even after moving to this country, I realized that living here and breathing in the Mexican air was not helping my Spanish skills.
After all, I work from home teaching online and I don’t spend the entire day speaking to people. The truth is that improving a language takes practice, consistency and a desire to improve.
In our lessons and courses, I teach students effective ways to practice English to improve speaking and listening skills using the techniques and unique methods I have discovered or created. The same methods that helped me reach fluency and maintain my current conversation abilities my new language, even though, I don’t have much time to practice.
To get started with one of our lessons now, signup here to receive an interesting conversation lesson here. Let us show you how you can use naturally spoken English conversations to:
Naturally Spoken Dialogues
When you study a naturally spoken conversation, you will start to see it is very different than what you read. Real conversations are full of pauses to think and small words or sounds to keep the ‘fluency’ of the conversation.
Listening to scripted audio will not teach you how people actually speak. Most courses don’t give enough emphasis to listening exercises or give you the opportunity to do speaking fluency exercises. These are the 2 skills that are the most difficult for people to learn when they need to interact with real people in real life.
A Method Taught From Personal Experience
Amy, who now knows Spanish, realized during her first conversation attempt that she did not know enough of the everyday vocabulary that people use when they chat with each other. She started to study conversational transcripts and MP3 audio lessons.
This taught her the right vocabulary, listening comprehensionand speaking patterns that helped her to understand much more from every conversation she heard It is natural that you want to study the things that are easy. Reading, writing and passive listening are EASY.
If you want to be fluent in English, you need to put the same amount of effort into speaking and listening comprehension. Our website gives you techniques and activities you can use to improve your speaking skills and finally have a better experience when you communicate.
English Speaking Exercises
We have created this website for people just people like you. Someone who wants to speak easily, understand what they hear and learn new vocabulary in a natural way.
Tipos de letras elegantes para tatuajes. It is important that you start using the words and grammar rules that you know… And you have to practice speaking with them A LOT. The harder it is for you to speak, the more you need to practice.
Eachconversation lesson has exercises to help you practice what you have heard in the English conversation. You can listen to conversational English questions that you have to answer by speaking.
This resource in our premium section is the most important part that will help you speak with more fluency. The harder it is for you to speak, the more you need to practice.

Improve your English Listening
Amy knows from personal experience how it can be difficult to develop your listening skills in a new language in the beginning. This is something she has had to work at very hard to improve.
She found that listening to slower audio while reading a transcription helped her to improve her listening skills very quickly. This is why we have created a full transcript of each one of our American English Conversations.
The truth is that ‘hearing’ the words is one skill but being able to understand everything you hear is another thing. It takes practice and patience. The truth is that ‘good listening’ takes time and practice.
Not everyone develops great listening skills automatically. We’ve got all the resources you need including MP3 downloads and PDF English transcriptions to read while listening.

Learn Using Real Conversations
Have you ever noticed that there are many ESL lessons for beginner students but there is hardly anything available for intermediate and advanced students?
The truth is that most people that try to learn conversational English don’t make it to this level, most websites are focused on beginners. Everything on this website was created for intermediate and advanced students that need to get exposed to ‘normal’ everyday Conversations.
Our lessons are different because we have also learned another language as an adult and know better tools and techniques that we can show you.
Learn English faster, with the resources we have created to study and learn from conversation lessons. If your goal is to be able to have enjoyable English Conversations, you should be studying conversational English.
Why would you waste time studying a textbook with more rules or learn words by studying lists of words that no one uses in real life? Grammar rules are for beginners. Intermediate and advanced students need to listen to lots of topics and learn to speak about those topics without worrying about the ‘rules’. At REC, we know exactly what you need to learn fast.
Thanks to Real Engish Conversations, I learned a lot of new things, your website is great. I like it so much, they have so much helpful information for people who want to learn English and with their methods of teaching they make so easy to understand all the information that they provide. Thanks to their everyday conversations, I feel more confident when I need to talk, I have a better flow while speaking and that is so important because my profession demands a good level of English, I’m a professional pilot, thanks so much to Amy and Curtis for taking your time to help people to learn, you are awesome people. Keep up the good work and thanks for everything!
