Episode 34 - Intermediate: Travel Lets Me See a Different Way Of Life
When you travel, do you chase famous landmarks—or wander the quiet streets of a small town? In this intermediate-level episode, Christine shares a three-day escape to a slow, unhurried town: renting a bike, discovering a locals-only breakfast shop, hiking a nearby mountain path, and ending the day with warm conversations at a small inn.
Through vivid but accessible language, you’ll learn how to describe pace, mood, observation, and connection—phrases like “walk while enjoying the view,” “feel very calm,” “chat,” and “observe.” We’ll also explore the idea of slow travel: staying longer, noticing more, and letting your body and mind match the rhythm of a place.
✨ Perfect for learners around HSK 3-4 who want to move beyond checklists and practice natural storytelling about experiences, feelings, and cultural detail.
