Jim
Hi Rachel!
Rachel
Hi Jim! How are you?
Jim
I'm really excited! I'm preparing a trip to Europe this summer.
Rachel
That sounds fantastic! Who are you going to travel with?
Jim
With my cousin Sam. We both have a month off so we are going to backpack across Europe together.
Rachel
How old is Sam?
Jim
We're the same age.
Rachel
Perfect! You're going to travel by train, aren't you?
Jim
Yes, that's right!
Rachel
Which countries are you going to visit?
JIm
We hope to go to Spain, France and Italy.
Rachel
And where are you going to stay?
Jim
We'll be staying in youth hostels. We can't afford to stay in hotels.
Rachel
Yeah, youth hostels are usually clean and inexpensive.
Jim
Also, Sam's friend from university who is studying in Madrid has offered to put us up in her apartment for a few days.
Rachel
That's cool! You can speak Spanish, can't you?
Jim
Not really. But Sam speaks really well.
Rachel
Do you speak any other languages?
Jim
I took French in high school, but I only have a basic level.
Rachel
That's okay. There's always someone who speaks English.
Jim
I think that's the case in big cities and tourist areas, but not in small villages.
Rachel
That's true.
Jim
Anyway, I have to go to work. Great to see you!
Rachel
You too. Have a fantastic trip!
Jim
Look at my pictures on Instagram!
Rachel
Okay, I will!
