Tourist Information Vocabulary 2

Vocabulary in context

Every city has its own geography — its historic centre, its modern outskirts, its neighbourhoods that tourists love and the ones that locals actually use. Describing that geography accurately in English requires a specific vocabulary that goes beyond pointing and saying "over there." This exercise builds the language for explaining urban space to visitors: the words for describing distance, proximity, significance, and character. It also covers the vocabulary of visitor context — how to talk about a city's past in a way that's informative without being a lecture, and how to describe what a place is like rather than just what it is.
