The English words for airports, trains, hotels and getting around a new city, each with its CEFR level.
For anyone preparing for a trip, a move abroad or a job in tourism.
Travel English is mostly A2 and B1: the words on signs, tickets and booking pages. Most of them you will read before you ever say them, so recognising them fast matters more than spelling them.
Learners with a trip coming up, and anyone who wants to handle an airport, a station or a hotel desk in English without reaching for a translator.
Walk through a journey in order: booking, packing, the airport, the flight, the hotel, the sights. Learn the words for each step together, and practise the questions you would actually ask (Where is the gate? Is breakfast included?).

A list has an end. The words you keep for good usually turn up somewhere else — in a page you read, a show you watched, or a conversation you had — one at a time, and rarely at the level you planned for.
MindDory connects to Claude, Cursor, and other assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol, so a word you meet while you are chatting is saved to your deck as a flashcard without you leaving the conversation. There is no copy and paste, no CSV export, and no browser extension.
