Week 2 – Hotels & Daily Life: 60 hotel words + 40 everyday words (money, time, numbers). Read hotel review articles – real guests describing real stays.
Week 3 – Food & Shopping: 70 restaurant + 50 shopping words. Read food guides and city walk articles. Menus stop looking foreign.
Week 4 – Transport & Emergencies: 60 transport + 40 emergency/health words. Read city navigation guides. Practice asking "Where is the nearest pharmacy?".
Phrases That Work Everywhere
Universal starters: "Excuse me, could you help me?" – works in any situation. "How much is this?" – shopping essential. "Where is...?" – navigation lifesaver.
At the hotel: "I have a reservation under [name]." "Could I have a late check-out?" "The Wi-Fi isn't working."
At the restaurant: "Could I see the menu?" "I'm allergic to..." "The bill, please." "Do you accept cards?"
Getting around: "How do I get to...?" "Is this the right platform for...?" "One ticket to [place], please."
Why Context Beats Word Lists
A word list says "boarding pass = посадочный талон". But reading an article about airport procedures teaches you that a boarding pass shows your gate, seat, and boarding time. You learn the word AND its environment – which makes you recognize it instantly at the actual airport.
