Let's Learn English! Topic: Air Travel ✈️🛩️🚁 Apr 17, 2021

Show notes

In this English lesson you'll learn English words and phrases to talk about air travel. There are many ways to travel, but the fastest way to travel is by air. I think in a few months many people will once again begin to travel and so it's a great time to brush up on your English travel vocabulary.
In this English class I'll help you review or learn words like arrival time, departure time, airborne, cockpit, and more!
As always this will be much more than a basic English vocabulary lesson. I'll make sure that in addition to the words I also teach you very common phrases that we use for each vocabulary word.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about air travel! Have a great day!

Come and join me for a different kind of English lesson. There is no topic. There is no central theme. There is no subject. This English lesson is all about your questions about the English language and my ability to answer as many of them as I can.

This is one of my favourite English lessons each week. I really enjoy taking questions from viewers and trying to answer each of them as clearly and as concisely as possible.
