Conversations At The Airport You Might Have

English is the international language of travelling and airports. Employees who work with passengers are even required to speak a minimum level of English in certain airports.

Let’s look at a few of the English conversations you are likely to have when travelling internationally.

• Checking-in to your flight and getting your boarding pass
• Security check and baggage screening
• Asking about airport gates and terminal locations
• Ordering food at restaurants in the airport or purchasing small items
• Airport announcements and flight boarding calls
• Speaking with the flight attendants during the flight

And if your luggage goes missing…

• Describing the disappearance
• Providing address details so the airport can deliver it later

Or if you miss a flight connection…

• Finding alternative flight options
• Discussing hotel options if you have to stay overnight

Airport Check-in Conversation Dialogue

In this article, we have created a dialogue for you to study and learn from that can help you while you are communicating in English with the airline agents.

Sample Dialogue:

The flight agent will probably start with a greeting such as hello, good evening, good morning or good afternoon.

Agent: Do you have your passport and boarding pass?

Passenger: Yes, here they are.

Agent:  How many bags will you be checking in today?

Passenger: Just this one.

Agent: Okay great. Do you mind putting it on the scare here?

If you do not have any checked luggage, you might say “I don’t have any checked luggage. Just my carry-on bag here”. If your bag looks bigger than the allowed size, they might have to measure it.

Agent: Oh, it looks like your bag is overweight by 1 kilogram. Would you like to take something out to put in your carry-on bag so that we do not have to charge the overweight bag fee?

Passenger: Yes, please. One minute. Let me take out my sweater.

Unzips the suitcase and takes out the sweater. The puts it back on the scale.

Passenger: Okay, is that below weight?

Agent: Yes, the bag is fine now. Let me print off your bag tags.

Agent: Okay, here are your boarding passes and the luggage tracking numbers in case something happens to your luggage. Your flight is departing from Terminal A Gate 37. The flight leaves in 2 hours and the gates can change so I recommend checking the gate number one hour before the boarding time just in case it changes. That’s all for now. Have a good flight!

Passenger: I will, thanks. Have a nice day.

David Ellis, author of Travel English for Busy Travelers

I caught up with David recently and asked him about the book:

What is the background to the book?

“As an English language teacher, I often ask myself how I can help my students become self-sufficient learners.  Many of my students in Japan are overly dependent on their teachers and feel they don’t know how to study independently.  I decided to write an eBook that my students and other students around the world could easily use for self-study.  Travel English for Busy Travelers is a beginner’s level eBook focusing on conversation practice, vocabulary development, and reading comprehension that’s full of self-study exercises with answer keys.

Why did you write your eBook?

“I have co-written several reading textbooks that have been used in Japanese universities. Recently, I have been teaching more and more English conversation classes, so I wanted to write a conversation textbook. However, I didn’t want to write a general conversation textbook. Out of all the classes I teach, I enjoy teaching travel English the most, so I decided to write an eBook that I could use in my travel English classes.

Screenshot 1

Why did you make the eBook free?

“First of all, I wanted the book to be free to download for my students to help them become more independent learners. Second, I hope to attract a larger readership.  I hope that more people will download a free eBook. I’ve done some writing for free magazines and university newspapers. I have enjoyed sharing my writing and curriculum with my students and friends this way. It’s interesting to get e-mail about the eBook from foreign countries. Usually, the sender of the e-mail is asking when the second level eBook will be released.

What are your publishing plans for the future?

“My teaching workload is getting busier, so it’s difficult to find time to finish the second book this year. I almost have the first half of the second book finished, so I will try to release a level 2A eBook by the end of this year. I hope to finish the second half of the next book sometime next year. I would also like to rerelease some chapters from my older reading textbooks that are going out of print. In Japan, most English textbooks have a rather short shelf life.

What are the most popular parts of the book?

“My favourite parts of the eBook are the reading passages on important topics for international travelers. Readers find the dialogues, the Appendix section on “Textese” (texting language), and YouTube videos to be especially helpful. Audio for the eBook is available on my YouTube channel: Travel English for Busy Travelers eBook – on YouTube

What other type of work do you do?

“I have proofread over ten books for vintage fashion writer and photographer Rin Tanaka. Rin has written some very successful vintage fashion books such as Harley Davidson: Book of Fashions, Schott: 100 Years of an American Original, XLarge: True OG Streetwear, and Wesco: Boots that Stand the Gaff.”

9 Best Language Learning Apps for Travelers in 2024

Embarking on the trip of a lifetime, studying abroad for college or having a bad case of wanderlust?

As the saying goes: There’s an app for that .

In this post, I’ll detail nine of the best language learning apps for travel, whether you’re hoping to meet some friends or perfect your pronunciation.

We’ll also cover how to choose a travel app to serve your language needs.

Let’s get started!

• 1. Best Translation App: Google Translate

2. Best Immersive Learning App: FluentU

3. best free learning app: duolingo, 4. best for memorizing vocabulary: memrise, 5. best for chatting with natives: tandem, 6. best for voice recognition: itranslate, 7. best for reading asian menus: waygo, 8. best for making connections: hellotalk, 9. best pronunciation guide: (how to) pronounce, how to pick the best language learning apps for travel.

Download: This blog post is available as a convenient and portable PDF that you can take anywhere. Click here to get a copy. (Download)

1. Best Translation App:  Google Translate

Available on:   Android | iOS Price:  Free

The Google Translate app can instantly translate what you see on your travels .

Press the camera icon for a live translation and press the shutter to pause it for a closer read. Additionally, you can upload a picture you’ve already taken for the same type of translation.

• Thousands of learner friendly videos (especially beginners)
• Handpicked, organized, and annotated by FluentU's experts
• Integrated into courses for beginners

You can do this with street signs, restaurant menus, food packaging instructions, newspaper headlines and more.

There’s also text lookup and voice recognition functions , with the latter allowing you to carry a conversation with a native speaker .

Google Translate supports translations for 100+ languages . You can even download specific language packs for offline use.

Available on:  Android | iOS Price: Pricing information available here

FluentU is an educational mobile app that immerses you in your target language through fun, authentic videos of native speakers in various settings . Each video comes with subtitles that supply you with all the information you need to understand the video, from definitions and sentences to pronunciation guides and related clips.

Warm up for your trip with FluentU, which can help you prepare by showing you situations you may actually encounter—like ordering in a restaurant in Japan or seeing the sights in Quebec.

• Interactive subtitles: click any word to see detailed examples and explanations
• Slow down or loop the tricky parts
• Show or hide subtitles
• Review words with our powerful learning engine

You can also use the search bar to find places, activities, food and more . For example, maybe you search for “castles” once you get to Germany and wind up considering a day trip to the Neuschwanstein . Or maybe you’re in Spain so you type in “Alhambra” because that’s where you’re going to be next week.

Available on: Android | iOS Price: Free; Super plans starting at $7.99 per month

A classic language learning app with gamified lessons, useful vocabulary and a logical learning structure, Duolingo can help travelers make the most of their trip by teaching them words and phrases that will really come in handy .

Though the premium plan removes ads and offers some additional practice functions (including unlimited lives), the free version has more than enough information and activities to give you a solid foundation in listening and reading your target language. You can even practice your speaking and pronunciation with the voice recognition feature.

For more information, you can check out our full Duolingo review here .

Available on: Android | iOS Price: Free; Pro plans starting at $8.49 per month

Memrise integrates the latest in memory research and gets you learning foreign words and phrases efficiently using the best-known methods of spaced repetition study.

• Learn words in the context of sentences
• Swipe left or right to see more examples from other videos
• Go beyond just a superficial understanding

The app will first introduce the word and let you pick the English translation from a set of choices. Then, Memrise keeps things interesting by using a number of mini tasks to help you slowly integrate the target words into your memory.

This app supports over 20 languages . So, by the time you get on the plane and find yourself next to a native speaker, you’ll have something to contribute to the conversation other than that gorgeous smile.

See our full Memrise review here .

Available on: Android | iOS Price: Free; Pro plans starting at $6.67 per month

Tandem is a language exchange app . “Language exchange” is when you speak your first language with a learner and they speak their first language with you so you can both practice and improve.

For example: You’re an English speaker learning Korean. The Tandem app can connect you to a native Korean speaker learning English. In fact, you can find speakers of 150+ different languages  here.

This can help you find some friends who reside in the country you’ll be visiting . There’s nothing like a local guide to immerse you in the target language. (Of course, follow standard safety precautions: Never meet anyone alone, and always meet in public places.)

• FluentU builds you up, so you can build sentences on your own
• Start with multiple-choice questions and advance through sentence building to producing your own output
• Go from understanding to speaking in a natural progression.

You can see more in our full Tandem review .

Available on: Android | iOS Price:  Free; Pro plans starting at $5.99 per month

The free version of iTranslate is good for text translations, so you can enter over 100 languages and get the output in your native language.

The app is actually known for its voice recognition technology , however. Speak into your phone, and it will convert your words into text in the desired language. The Pro version even offers direct voice-to-voice translations.

iTranslate can also translate entire websites, and the app contains dictionaries so you can look up words, as well as verb conjugations —basically a complete language cheat sheet for your travels.

Available on: iOS Price: Free (10 translations per day); plans starting at $1.99 per week

• Images, examples, video examples, and tips
• Covering all the tricky edge cases, eg.: phrases, idioms, collocations, and separable verbs
• No reliance on volunteers or open source dictionaries
• 100,000+ hours spent by FluentU's team to create and maintain

Going to China, Japan or Korea? Then the Waygo app is a must-have.

More general translation apps sometimes have trouble when it comes to Asian scripts like those used for Chinese, Japanese and Korean , but this app was actually designed specifically for them.

So, if you find yourself looking at indecipherable text in these languages, simply point your camera at them and an instant translation will be given. You’ll hear how the words are pronounced alongside a pronunciation guide.

Best of all, Waygo works offline . This award-winning app works best on signage, menus and other printed materials .

Like Tandem, HelloTalk is a language exchange app . The same setup applies: You find a native speaker of your target language and chat in that one and your native language so you both get to practice.

Unlike Tandem, however, HelloTalk also features some designs that are more reminiscent of social media platforms . Users can post “Moments” (pictures and/or text) so others can see local life and leave comments.

This app claims to have 40 million users from over 150 countries. There are also teacher-led livestreams and the option to take one-on-one language lessons.

For more information, see our full HelloTalk review .

Available on: iOS Price: Free; English specialty lists starting at $0.99

Pronunciation is as important as vocabulary and grammar. You don’t want to memorize all your lines before a big trip, only to discover that native speakers can’t understand a single word you say.

That’s where this app comes in. Enter a word in one of the 18 supported languages , and you’ll hear it spoken by a native speaker. You can even vary the speed to hear greater nuance in the sounds .

Whether you’re a language learner struggling with intonation and emphasis, a business traveler hoping to impress foreign colleagues, an actor taking on a very specific role or something else altogether, (How to) Pronounce can help the words roll right off your tongue.

Consider how many apps a traveler might need: flight apps, hotel apps, weather apps, currency/banking apps… the list goes on. But each serves a particular purpose.

In the same way, language learning apps all have their own special strengths.

Here are a few considerations to keep in mind when choosing language learning apps for your travels:

• Commitment. Avoid apps that might interfere with your travel experience. An app should not require you to be so involved that you forget you’re in one of the most beautiful gardens in Europe. A great app facilitates rather than distracts.
• Usability. Pick app(s) with a friendly user interface that’s easy to navigate. It should get you what you want quickly and let you move along. For example, if you’re only going to Spain, you don’t necessarily need something with 50+ language options, especially if it’s hard to get to the Spanish-specific features.

As a final tip, just so you can fully appreciate your travel experience and maximize your app usage at the same time: Practice using it a few weeks before you leave .

By the time you board the plane, you should know how to use your apps. You should already know what each one is capable of, as well as any limitations and shortcuts. You shouldn’t be firing it up for the first time in your destination.

Any combo of these language apps will have your back when you’re abroad (as long as you prepare).

So get ready to have the travel experience of your dreams and the language learning experience of a lifetime !
