A2 Town & Getting Around Vocabulary: Places, Transportation and Directions

This A2 Town & Getting Around Vocabulary module covers 50 words for finding your way around a town — the places you go, the transportation you take, and the directions you give: go straight, turn at the corner, cross at the crosswalk. Every word comes with flashcards, a word-formation drill, a collocations match and a twelve-question quiz, free and self-scoring.

  • 50 words
  • 4 practice modes
  • 12-question quiz

What’s inside this module

Four stages: meet the words, build other forms from them, pair them with the words they normally go with, then test yourself.

Flashcards

Fifty cards, each with the word, its part of speech, a short A2 definition, an example sentence, and up to three typical collocations on the back — on the corner, the train station, take a taxi, arrive on time. Rate each card “I knew it” or “Still learning” and your ratings are saved automatically.

Word formation

Eight gap sentences that ask for a different form of a word you have just met: drive becomes driving, arrive becomes arrival, safe becomes safety, ride becomes rider. The comparative farther is the one worth looking at twice.

Collocations & phrases

Ten pairs taken straight from a real trip: miss the last bus, buy a one-way ticket, wait at the bus stop, check the train schedule, get stuck in heavy traffic, wait on the platform. These are the exact phrases you need at a station.

12-question quiz

A mix of multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank, with an explanation after every answer, right or wrong. Your best score is saved automatically.

How to get the most from it

Five habits that make A2 vocabulary stick, not just pass a quiz.

Learn each place with the reason you go there

A bank, a pharmacy, a post office and a library are easy to confuse until each one is attached to what you do inside it. Say the reason out loud: I go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, I go to the post office to send a package.

Directions are a small set — drill them

Straight, opposite, corner, cross, turn and far cover almost every direction you will ever be given at this level. Six words, and they are worth more practice than the twenty place names around them.

Get on, get off, miss

You get on a bus, a train or a plane and get off it, but you get in and out of a taxi or a car. And to miss the bus means it left without you — nothing to do with feeling sad. These three are where most A2 mistakes in this topic happen.

Come back for the re-deal

After you finish the flashcard deck, it automatically rebuilds itself from just the words marked “still learning.” A short second pass on the hard ones is worth more than repeating the whole deck.

Use one this week

Give directions from your home to one place in this module — the station, the park, the pharmacy — out loud, using straight, turn, corner and opposite. One real route said aloud teaches more than a second pass through the deck.

Where these words go next

Eight words from this module come back as the warm-up deck of the B1 travel module: ticket, schedule, passenger, airport, station, miss, traffic, arrive.
