This slow, easy English conversation is all about describing your country and your hometown in English. Sarah and Mike talk about weather, scenery, sleepy small towns and busy cities, so you can answer the question "What's your country like?" on a video call, at a party, or when you meet a new friend while travelling.
Has your mind ever gone blank when someone asks you about the place you come from? You'll learn how to say what a place is known for, describe mild or harsh weather, and talk about towns that are densely or sparsely populated. You'll also practise useful words like hidden gem, tourist trap and melting pot, plus natural phrases such as "to be fair" and "to get around".
This episode is perfect for A2 English learners who want to describe their hometown and country with confidence, using real-life speaking and simple everyday travel vocabulary.
