Michael: Going on a Trip.
Michael: Hi everyone, I'm Michael.
Alisha: And I'm Alisha.
Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in English about being at the airport, waiting for a flight. Jennifer waits at the airport for her flight, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment:

Michael: Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow.

Michael: Then comes the word...
Alisha: "Later!"
Michael: "Later" means "a time in the future," but it's also a slang expression meaning "goodbye"; it's short for "see you later." Listen again.
Alisha: (SLOW) "Later!" (REGULAR) "Later!"
Michael: All together...
Alisha: "We're off to Spain! Later!"
