Travel on Hold? Try a Virtual ZoomCation While You Dream of Adventures to Come<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though pandemic restrictions are beginning to lift in some places, life isn\u2019t exactly as it was before. Most countries still have travel restrictions, meaning summer vacations (and possibly your opportunity for on the ground language practice) are canceled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lockdown has forced us to flex our creative muscles. Access to the Internet lets us visit exotic destinations virtually. Whether you like to bake, host cocktail or painting parties, or just hang out in a “new” location for the day, we’ve got some great suggestions to join with friends and colleagues for virtual togetherness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we do our daily Pimsleur lessons and dream of jetting away to foreign lands, we can adapt the world on our screens to give us a little reminder of adventures to come. Let us show you how to use Zoom to inspire your language learning and help you and your friends envision the trips you\u2019ll take when things open up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Zoom?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you probably are aware by now, Zoom is a video teleconferencing platform that has taken the world by storm since the pandemic started. People are using it to work, but also to virtually \u2018visit\u2019 family members, friends, and colleagues while still staying safe in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most fun features of Zoom is the ability to change the background of your screen to give the illusion that you’re somewhere else. Politicians, winemakers, and even morris dancers are just some of the groups making use of the \u2018Virtual Background\u2019 feature to give their meetings a little more oomph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Pimsleur, we love to see the world, even if it’s only virtually. If we can\u2019t travel right now, then we want to help the world come to us, and to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Spice up Your Virtual Life with Zoom Backgrounds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Take a Friend to Your Favorite Vacation Spot<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Relive some of your best memories using your own travel photos from past trips. Why not take your friend on a \u2018visit\u2019 to your favorite city or seashore? Show them the restaurants or street food you love, highlight local points of interest and adventure hotspots via your virtual background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Host a Travel (Book) Club<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What about somewhere you haven\u2019t traveled to yet, but which has always been at the top of your bucket list? Take a virtual trip there with Zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get together with a few friends to choose a place to \u2018visit\u2019 together. Set your backgrounds, and spend time virtually exploring. Consider peppering your conversation with a few phrases from your new language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to each meeting with some information about the city to share and enjoy the scenery together. Many museums, zoos, and tourist attractions are offering free virtual tours during the Covid-19 crisis, so you can take advantage of this opportunity to \u2018take in\u2019 the local sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not dress for the occasion: put on some sunglasses, a sunhat, and pour yourself a cocktail before you set off exploring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To aid discussion, here are a few questions to get you thinking about how to enjoy the city:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 What are your favorite things about this place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Where would you like to go to eat? Is there a food you would like to try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 What is there to do in the evening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 What are the biggest tourist attractions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re feeling really adventurous, you could expand the adventure to include all the senses and experiment preparing a dish from the country you\u2019re \u2018visiting\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Go to a Sporting Event<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With professional sports canceled in most of the world, it can be tough to try and fill the void left by large-scale sporting events. Whether a spectator or a player, for many people, their pre-Covid social calendar was based around sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not recreate a live sports event at home? Set the virtual background to your local stadium and have a highlights watch party with friends. You\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re right in the middle of the action and if you’ve always wondered what it might take to be a comentarista<\/em>, calling the play-by-play, now could be your chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Visit a Natural Wonder<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019ve always wanted to see the epic natural beauty of Patagonia. Or Machu Picchu, Mount Fuji, or to see the Northern Lights in Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever natural wonder is the top of your list, there\u2019s no reason not to take a virtual trip. In light of Covid-19, many authorities are offering virtual tours of national parks and iconic landscapes. Get a front-row seat to Mother Earth and sign up for a tour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Play \u201cGuess Where I Am?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t need to be all travel-bucket-list based, though. Have some fun with Zoom and play a version of the popular game \u201c20 Questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set your background to a place you know, and ask your friends to guess where you are, getting information from you by asking you yes\/no questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, as an example, they might ask you: \u201cAre you in Europe?\u201d Or, \u201cDo they speak Spanish where you are?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could play this in either English or the language you are learning. Playing \u201c20 Questions\u201d is a great way to practice question structure and both positive and negative responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some extra speaking practice, you and your friend could describe your virtual background in your target language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Bring Some Imagination to Your Language Practice Roleplay<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most of us are learning languages in order to use them in the real, non-locked-down world. So why should we let lockdown keep us from practicing these scenarios?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Zoom backgrounds to mimic real-life scenarios on calls with friends who are learning the same language (see #2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you currently learning how to ask for a train ticket? Add an image of a train station as your virtual background, and suddenly you\u2019re there, so you can really dive into conversation practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to practice vocabulary for going to the cinema? Add a background of a box office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just finished learning restaurant phrases? Same. \u2018Take\u2019 yourself to a restaurant. You can take turns ordering in your second language with your friend acting as the waiter. Your brain won’t know it’s not real, and it’s a fun way to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lockdown has made us all a little more inventive. We\u2019ve had to learn to appreciate the smaller things in life, and we hope that these ideas can give you some joy and boost your language learning practice in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
