Travel listening asks you to act in the right place at the right time. A station announcement can name two platforms, but only one is current. A route can contain a landmark that you pass rather than enter. These sheets help you keep movement, position, and changes separate. You do not need to write every word to preserve the useful instruction.

How to work through this section

Start with the walking route and draw it. Move to transport only after you can keep a landmark separate from a destination. In the final sheets, mark each instruction as current, cancelled, or uncertain. These are notebook labels, not official travel categories. Confirm real travel details with the operator on the day.

Every key explains the original written scene only. Use the real-video task to build a fresh record. Keep a question mark beside missing information. It is better to leave a price or a person's intention unknown than to add a detail the speaker never supplied.

Five worksheets, in practice order

  1. Spanish walking directions: turn a description into a routeDraw a route from spoken instructions without relying on a street map.
  2. On a Spanish bus: destination, stop, and the warning to get offChoose the stop that serves the destination, not a place named in passing.
  3. A Spanish train announcement: keep the new platformUpdate the correct train record after a correction.
  4. Hotel arrival in Spanish: code, entrance, and key locationBuild an arrival checklist that preserves the order of access steps.
  5. A missed connection: follow the next step, not the old planExtract a useful recovery plan from a disrupted journey.

Use a recording, not a memorised answer

Try the text task first. Then select a recording with the same kind of decision, not necessarily the same setting or wording. A counter-offer can occur in a shop, a booking call, or a social plan. Your record should follow what happens in the chosen clip.

We make Jibber Jabber. Its video tools can support the caption-checking step. Read our Spanish listening guide for the wider practice context. The workbook's answer keys are not built into the app.
