• At The Airport

M: Hello English learners! Welcome back to EnglishPod! My name is Marco.

E: And I’m Erica.

M: And today we’re gonna be taking you to the airport.

E: That’s right. We’re gonna listen as a man, um, checks in at the airport and, uh, deals with his luggage.

M: That’s right. So, we’re gonna be looking at a lot of great stuff that can help you the next time you are at the airport at the checking counter. So, why don’t we take a look at one word that we’re gonna preview today in “vocabulary preview”?

Voice: Vocabulary preview.

E: We’re gonna hear this guy say “I’d like to check three pieces”.

M: He’s gonna check three pieces of what?

E: Pieces of luggage.

M: So, when we talk about luggage we can say pieces of luggage.

E: That’s right. Luggage is a non-count noun. So, you can’t say one luggage, two luggages, three luggages - that’s wrong.

M: Right, so, we use…

E: Pieces of luggage.

M: Okay. So, three pieces of luggage.

E: Uhu.

M: Very good. Let’s listen to our dialogue for the first time. We’re gonna see what happens with this guy at the airport and with his pieces of luggage.

DIALOGUE, FIRST TIME

E: Alright, well, that’s a l… whole lot of money, isn’t it?

M: Well, I think it’s a very common situation. I’m sure many of our listeners can relate to this situation.

E: Overweight charges are pretty expensive wh…

M: Very high.

E: I know from personal experience. But that’s not what we wanna talk about. Now we wanna talk about some really useful vocabulary in “language takeaway”.

Voice: Language takeaway.

M: Alright, on language takeaway today we have five words. So, why don’t we start with the first one?

E: So, the woman asked: “will you be checking any begs today?”

M: Will you be checking any bags today?

E: To check bags.

M: Right, so, the verb to check.

E: It means to, uh, to give your bags to the airline, to register them.

M: Okay, so, that’s what happens with your luggage. You check them, so, basically, they become responsible for your bags.

E: Right. It reminds me of checking in to a hotel. [Comment: please listen to the lesson Hotel Upgrade for more information about this topic - checking in]

M: Right, very similar.

E: Uhu.

M: When you go to a hotel you register at the hotel, you check in. In this case you just check your luggage.

E: You don’t check in you luggage.

M: Right.

E: Okay, so, check luggage.

M: So, he wanted to check three pieces of luggage and he also had carry-on luggage.

E: Carry-on luggage.

M: Carry-on.

E: So, carry-on luggage; it’s pretty simple.

M: That’s right, you carry it on yourself.

E: Exactly, you carry it on to the plane. Now, we…

M: Okay.

E: We can talk about carry-on luggage, right?

M: Uhu.

E: Or a carry-on bag.

M: Right, or a carry-on suitcase.

E: Uhu.

M: A very small suitcase that can fit under your seat.

E: Exactly. Alright, so, carry-on luggage. Now, he was traveling on an intercontinental flight.

M: Intercontinental.

E: Intercontinental.

M: We have two words there – inter…

E: Between.

M: Between, right? And continental…

E: So, this sounds like continent.

M: Okay, so, he’s traveling maybe form Asia…

E: Uhu.

M: To… North America.

E: Okay, intercontinental.

M: He’s trying to board this intercontinental flight.

E: So, to board a flight.

M: Board a plane.

E: Board a train.

M: Alright, so, basically it means to…

E: To get on.

M: To get on.

E: To get on a vehicle.

M: Okay, so, I can say board the ship.

E: Uhu.

M: Board the car.

E: No.

M: No?

E: No, but board the… board the train.

M: Board the train.

E: Board the bus. All aboard!

M: That’s right. That’s why in movi
