Interactive English speaking story
An airport, two trains, and the courage to ask for what you need.
Find the city train after your first flight abroad. Get help with a bag, compare two departures and buy the right ticket. Travel with Mira or take the earlier train on your own. A1 everyday speaking practice; not a certified exam or a prediction of an exam score.
หารถไฟเข้าเมืองหลังบินต่างประเทศครั้งแรก ขอให้ช่วยยกกระเป๋า เปรียบเทียบเวลาออกสองเที่ยว และซื้อตั๋วให้ถูก เลือกเดินทางกับมีราหรือขึ้นเที่ยวก่อนด้วยตัวเอง ฝึกพูดในชีวิตประจำวันระดับ A1 ไม่ใช่ข้อสอบที่รับรองหรือการทำนายคะแนนสอบ
Find the city train, pay for a ticket and choose a later journey with Mira or an earlier departure on your own.

A story that changes with your voice
Follow one possible opening route below. Your choices lead to different outcomes. Speaking rehearsals revisit your chosen route after its resolution and are counted separately from the story chapters.
It is 9:10 in the morning. Your flight has landed. The city rail station is below the airport. You have a heavy red bag and a note from your host, Anna: Central Station, eleven o'clock, and her phone number. Mira, another traveller, stops near you. You have no train ticket yet.
You follow Mira from the airport exit. Two signs point different ways. One says City Trains. The other says Airport Bus. Your host Anna wrote Central Station on your paper. Mira stops before the bus doors and looks at the paper with you.
A blue book falls from Mira's bag near the station lift. You pick it up. A library card is inside. She must take the book back by half past ten. The library is beside Central Station. She is going your way, but she has a job to do too.
