Hello and welcome to LetThemTalk. Today we're going look at the difference between
-
travel, trip, journey and voyage. Words that are often confused.
-
Travel, is usually a verb
-
for example when I travel I always take a camera
-
Sometimes we can use travel as a compound noun
-
for example, business travel or air travel.
-
We can also use travel as a plural noun
-
for example, he wrote a book about his travels across Africa.
-
However, we don't use travel as a singular noun, do not say "last weekend I had a good travel".
-
The word journey means going from one place to another.
-
We can use journey to talk about long distance...Our journey to Australia took 20 hours.
-
or for a short distance.... this afternoon I'm going to make a journey across Paris on my kick scooter.
-
We use trip to talk about more than one journey and the time you spend in a place.
-
So for example, we spent one month in London, it was a great trip.
-
We ask "how was your business trip?",
-
because we are interested in what happened at the important meeting and not in the journey.
-
A voyage is a journey we make by boat or in space. The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage.

That's it....more English language videos coming soon.
