In the city

Hello and welcome to a new post! Today, we will learn some new vocabulary about things we can find in cities. For that, I have selected several pictures of cities that I am sure you will recognise.

The station (La estación)

/ˈsteɪʃən/

  

The taxi (El taxi)

/ˈtæksɪ/

The telephone booth (La cabina telefónica)

/ˈtɛləfoʊnbuːð/

The underground/tube  (El metro)

/ˈʌndəgraʊnd/

The street (La calle)

/striːt/

The bus (El autobús)

/bʌs/

The opera (La ópera)

/ˈɒpərə/

The museum (El museo)

/mjuːˈzɪəm/

The Eiffel Tower  (La torre Eiffel)

  /ˌaɪfəlˈtaʊəʳ/

The traffic light (El semáforo)

                                                      /ˈtræfɪklaɪt/

The city lights (Las luces de la ciudad)

                                                            /ˈsɪtilaɪts/

If you click in the transcriptions of the words you can hear how they are pronounced.

EXERCISE:

Now try to match the pictures with the words:

The city lights - the museum - the taxi - the bus - the opera - the station - the Eiffel Tower - the traffic light - the underground/tube - the street - the telephone booth

                                

                                

I hope you enjoyed the post and you learned something new. I will see you again in the next one!

A first overview

     Hello! In this very first post we will learn some vocabulary about different landscapes that we can find in the city or in nature.

     I have inserted pictures of different parts of the world next to the words so you can associate the image with the word you are learning. In that way, you can remember it easily. I think this is is a good and funny way to learn new vocabulary as you have a visual idea of the concept that you are trying to memorise. I have also incorporated the translation of the word in Spanish in case you need it.

Let's get it started!

The city (La ciudad)

The mountain (La montaña)

The bridge (El puente)

The sea/ocean (El mar/océano)

The coastline (La costa)

The sky (El cielo)

Undersea (Submarino)

The sunset (La puesta de sol)

Fireworks (Fuegos artificiales)

The canal (El canal)

The statue (La estatua)

The forest (El bosque)

The pier (El muelle)

The snow (La nieve)

Advice: To check if you remember the new vocabulary you can look at the pictures and try writing them down in a piece of paper.

I hope you enjoyed this first introductory post. I will see you again in the next one!

Welcome

   The main purpose of my blog is to provide a funny and interactive way of learning or improving vocabulary by travelling virtually to different places.

   It is aimed to travellers or people who really enjoy travelling, who want to learn new vocabulary or extend it.

   I will use images and short videos to help me to do so and to make the learning process more easy-going and enjoyable.
