JULIE: I just bought a ticket to New York City. I’m so 
excited to see the city!
SOPHIE: Good for you! Traveling is so much fun. I love 
discovering new places and new people. When 
are you leaving?
JULIE: Next week. I’m taking the red eye. It was cheaper. 
Hopefully, I’ll be able to sleep on the plane.
SOPHIE: I wish I could go with you! New York City is a magical 
place. You will have so much fun.
JULIE: I hope so. I’m going to visit my brother who lives 
there. I will stay for a week and then take the train 
down to Washington, D.C.
SOPHIE: That sounds like a great vacation. I’m looking 
forward to a week at the beach for my summer 
vacation. I just want to relax.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Ticket can refer to many different types of transportation (metro, bus, train, plane, etc.). 
In general, you can guess the means of transportation by the context.
• When discussing airplane travel, a red eye is a flight that leaves at night to arrive early 
the next morning. This is in reference to how red your eyes become when you don’t get 
a full night’s sleep

Day 25: Taking vacations

In this episode, I talk about interviewing in a second language. Speaking in a second language is tough; interviewing is tough. Doing both of them at the same time? Well, it can feel like walking into the lion’s den. It’s not for the faint of heart. And yet, there are a lot of brave souls out there who are willing to do what it takes to land a job in their second language.

You will hear a story about when I interviewed in Spanish, which is my second language, and get my top five tips for how you can succeed in an interview in your second language. Then you'll learn the definitions for the English idioms and phrases I used in the episode.
