Travel English: How to go through customs at the airport

Thank you Adam, Wonderful.

majid3663

The lesson deals with an issue that is rarely addressed in language courses or rather is never touched upon.

It is important to know how to approach customs officers at the airpont , but above all what they expect from you.

Thanks for sharing this tips with us Mr. Benn

Regino

I remind…when I visited the U.S, a customs officer asked me “what’s the purpose of your visit?” I answered “travel” :)
Thank you, Adam. Useful :)

Hi Vinhnguyen,

I wish I could help you out, but I don’t know anyone there. Look for local English language newspapers, they might have something to help you.

Good luck :)

thanxs!!!!!!

lidiaguida

Thx adam. You’re speaking vary slow and week. could you please speak little louder and quickly?

evil666live

Hi Evil,

I have to speak so that as many people as possible can understand. Sometimes that might be a little slower than normal. Watch my IELTS videos… I speak faster there.

Adam

I’d like to know the rules for adding “S” in the third person. e.g. plays, cooks, runs etc.
I know the most common verbs that takes the “S”
but I don’t know the exact rule. Can you halp me please.!

elvinvaldez

Final -s, not -es, is added to most verbs.

Visit >> Visits Answer >> Anwsers Speak >> Speaks

Many verbs end in -e. Final -s is simply added.

hope >> hopes write >> writes.

Final -es is added if the verb ends in -ch, -sh, -s, -x or -z.

catch >> catches wash >> washes pass >> passes

fix >> fixes buzz >> buzzes.

Final -es is added to do and go.

do >> does go >> goes

If the verb ends in consonat plus -y, change the -y to -i and add -es.

study >> studies try >> tries

And if the verb ends in a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) plus -y, simply add -s.

pay >> pays buy >> buys play >> plays

I hope this help you.

Zemei

Hi Elvin,

Zemei pointed out some useful things. I’ll add that when the subject is in the third person (He,She, It) and the verb is in the present simple tense, you will need an ‘s’.

He plays tennis.
She doesn’t play tennis.
Does it look like tennis?

See the ‘s’ in each?

Adam

If I have three cheeseburgers and I don’t want to hide it, big fat customs officer allows my visit to the US? I ready to take him all of my cheeseburgers. )

iloveooz

cool :)
i think custom officer let you visit the US exactly for the cheeseburger ;)

Luke

Thanks for useful video

thank you very much adam

habibid69

Thanks so much Adam for your teaching

dahvide

Thank you adam. 88%

andrews14

Adam, in question 7, the correct answer is “as long as I can”. But this isn’t my doubt. Why did you write, in one of the choices, “I have a one-year open ticket” and not “I have an one-year open ticket”?

Valderí Andrade

When”o” makes the same sound as “w” in “won” then A is used.

byte

That’s right, byte! Thanks.

engVid

Thank you byte! I had forgotten it!

Valderí Andrade

i’m agree with byte ;)

Luke

Good answer :)

Adam

Because “a” relates to the word “ticket”.

vovchick

Oh, it’s my mistake…

vovchick

It depends not from letters(but from sounds).

KATRIN777

By the way, thank you very much! This site is superb!

Valderí Andrade

Hello Adam. Thank you for your useful good lesson. I’ve never gone to foreign countries. This lesson will help me a lot when I go to overseas. Appreciate it.

frankyforlife

It is very useful for English learner; After learning your lesson, i can be more confident to go on board. Thanks so much!

VietNam1984

I’ve got 7 correct out of 8!
Thank you so much for this lesson, Adam. Very helpful :)
By the way, could you make a lesson about differences between Canadian English and American English? :D

Stanislaus

Ronnie has a lesson with some Canadian vocabulary: https://www.engvid.com/canadian-english/

But to be honest, the differences aren’t that important.

engVid

Hi Stanilaus,

To be honest, Canadian English is somewhere between British and American. The main differences are spelling (e.g. color vs. colour). Other than that, it’s about regional dialects and each area has its own slang and expressions, so a lesson wouldn’t be very universal anyway. Most dictionaries will give yo the different spellings.

Hope this helps a little.

Adam

I got 3 correct out of 8 score. I am not good English Language. Thanks Adam

Ukrit

Keep trying Ukrit. It’ll come :)

Adam

Thank you Adam

Ukrit

thanks a lot adam!
in other country they might ask you with different word, but same meaning. nah thats the problem. if i dont know the meaning i will ask to repeat it and they will explain clearly (with more annoyed expression of course haha)

hafizhudani

Not always Hafiz. Sometimes they’ll just say it the same way (with the annoyed expression) :)

Adam

Cristian Gutiérrez

Very usefull. Thank you!

BreakingBadMind

The first and last time till today I flew to USA, I was questioned by a security officer. And he spoke so fast, asking short questions – the one you showed in the video.
As I didn’t understand that much what he said, sometimes I was hesitating.
– Why don’t you answer me, he asked.
I just laughed – never do this.
– Why are you laughing?
– You speak too fast for me, I don’t understand you sometimes, I answered
What a look he gave me (aren’t they used to foreigners in airports?)
And then I tried my best to keep serious, even if I felt like being under fire, you know, like with a gun machine. It was a weird experience. And when all was finished, I felt like I’ve done something superhuman. Go through the US security!

annie974

very amazing story :)

Luke

Thanks Annie. That’s actually the mystery– they know foreigners are coming through, yet they don’t even try to ease the language. I don’t get it myself. :)

Adam

Annie, I experienced the same thing once on a job interview. I heard the “C++” with ‘a’ sound, but I always read it before as ‘u’ (russian pronunciation) and I couldn’t get it. When I eventually got it, I burst out of non-stop laughing. The interview of course were postponed. :-)
It’s quite a weird sensation.

Konstantin

Thank you Teacher and Thank you Annie974 your experience is very good.

murat1965

Thanks a lot!!

jmprins

USA custom officers were totally mean to me. They want you to have troubles.
I wısh they would taste same things ası wasa forced to taste couple years ago.

oguz

They’re mean to everybody Oguz. Don’t let it bother you if possible.

Adam

Thank you Sir for feedbacks.
I will be keep watching all videos you would uploud here.

oguz

I like him. He made me feel that even I can understand most of what a native speaker explains in English. It is just because he speaks English clearly and in plain words so that we viewers can understand him, though.

leoolekazu

Very practical, concisely and at the point. Please for more this kind of instalment !

knt91

thanks

Mohammadsmn

Excellent class and test if you follow this indications you will be out of pro
blems at any US airport . Listening the video I got a better pronunciation but I still need more. Thanks to Engvid.com !

Nachozu

nice lesson

ccardera

i did not understand what was type of questions.

ishtiaq khan

Hi Ishtiaq,

You can watch the lesson again and ask me questions here.

Adam

Please, I’ve got a job interview and in need of assistance.
I need an answer to a question ( how to achieve your sales target?) I do not know how to answer and what I say… please help me

suesy

Hi Suesy,

Not sure when your interview is, but one thing you can mention is the technique(s) you use to sell the product. (it might help to know what it is you are selling to give you more specific advice). Mention your target audience and how to adapt to a slow market.

Hope this helps a little.

Adam

hi very helpful.but i have a qestion about PROBLEM and ISSUE? when i use one of them./i have a problem whit my son,or i have issue whit my son?

draganka

“I have a problem with…” for me is more clear :)
bye bye

Luke

thank you

draganka

contact me if you want talk with a english student like you. bye bye

Luke

Hi dear lionluke, I like to speake with you, how we can have conversation with each other?

arsinr

Hi Draganka,

I think they can both be used in similar situations. That being said, I would use issues with people, but not with things in most cases.

Also, we often use issues as slang for problems, especially when we talk a bout a person’s psychological or attitude problems. Problem is more concrete and can be solved, while issues is a problem that doesn’t go away, even if you know the solution.

Hope this helps a little.

Adam

Adam, Thanks for the customs-passing lesson and the issue/problem puzzle solving as well.
It turns out that reading comments is a pretty nice idea! )

Konstantin

Thank Adam, I’v just finished listening to your vid which helps me much in learning English, see you as much as pos.

the ngoc

Thanks Adam, a very useful lesson! I have just a grammar question. At the minute 2.53 you said: “a few of the more common question that they might ask you”.
Why you said the more and not the most? Thanks!

Piera

Hi Piera,

Good question. I use more because it is a comparative. In other words these questions are more common than other questions. I can’t say they are the most common, because I don’t know what the most common questions are.

I hope this helps.

Adam

Good job very useful

Chanu

thank Adam very much.

demdemtroi

It’s very useful to me, thank you very much.

susan wang

Thank you again,Adam. It’s useful.

KATRIN777

By the way Adam. Which is correct IT IS USEFUL or THIS IS USEFUL? And when one must use the first one and when the second one?

KATRIN777

I mean IT IS or THIS IS.

KATRIN777

It’s a girl/this is a girl
It’s correct/this is correct
…………………….
……………………..

KATRIN777

That’s a good question Katrin. I’ll make a video about it. It’s a little too long for here ;)

Adam

Thank you Adam. I’ll be waiting.

KATRIN777

Useful information.

ScottChen

I enjoyed your lesson, as usual. It was useful and amusing. I love your pronunciation. You are the English native speaker I understand the best. Thank you very much for your lessons!

Pascual

Adam, you’re awesome! Thanks a mill!

Sonia1234

what’s the difference between for and since -and please explain the o’clock please and thanx alot (:

lina-a

Hi Lina,

It depends on the context you are using it in. for and since can both mean because. Used with a present perfect tense, use for followed by a period of time (I have lived in Canada for ten years). Use since followed by a specific time (I have lived here since 1999).

Oclock is used when we say a round time (9:00 o’clock). It comes from of the clock.

Hope this helps.

Adam

Thanks

SAW BAW MU HTOO

I wonder why is your lesson about US customs without any hint to the fact that the experience might be more or less similar elsewhere, in Canada maybe. Is it because in the US they are really a bore ? ;)

GHCGHCGHC

Hi GHC,

American customs officers are a little famous for their attitude. Canadian customs do it a little differently. They understand not everyone who comes to the airport speaks English. Also, in the US they are much more paranoid about terrorists.

Hope this helps.

Adam

Thanks David, I’m not really surprised. ;)

GHCGHCGHC

Thank you Adam

Kelly tw

Good evening. Adam.

I’m a Braziian teacher and I’ve taught to a person who is gonna travel to Australia. So, those advice is usefull for there too? I mean, fot customs.
Congrats for your class. It’s easier to understand.

jpresence2

Hi Jpresence,

The questions are generally the same as is the process. The attitude should be very different :)

Adam

Thank you for these advices

habib1996

No doubt: Travelling is one of the best things in life.The problem is lack of money…I have to work harder and harder.By the way, it is a pleasure to listen and learn from you.Thanks a lot.

Dr.solaiman

Hallo my teacher Adam. I’m Rido from Indonesia. I am an English teacher at Nursing School. I am also master program student of TEFL in Tanjungpura University, Indonesia. The Engvid materials all really helpful and useful for me especially. I want to share the videos of you and also other teachers, but in a different form. I mean, I also want to make a video and the materials will be taken from engvid. Is it allowed for me to do that? Thank very much Mr Adam.

Mahin Ridlo Ronas (Rido)

Hi Mahin,

I’m afraid these videos aren’t available for download. If you can connect the internet in your class, you can watch them with your students.

You can send an email to Engvid and ask as well.

Adam

It’s a very good info Adam. Thanks for ur presentation

Mahin Ridlo Ronas (Rido)

KATRIN777

One day from my life.

19 December

I woke up at 11.00 and begin to drink tea at once. After 15 minutes I had my breakfast. Presently I turned on my computer and linked the Internet, because I wanted to know the price of dollar and the price of oil. The oil’s price was little reduced. And the price of dollar was much increased in comparing with ruble. Of course I was upset.
At 13.00 I had to be seeing my doctor, because I made an appointment. I was there at 12.50. The people who were in the turn said that there is a live turn and I have to be after them. I was not very much upset, because I was to be at work only by 16.00, so I agreed with them.
I like my present work. It linked with kids.
But I don’t want to tell about it too much.
At 21.30 I was at home and I was very glad. I had my supper(by the way, in what time do you have dinner,because in schools the teachers teach little kids that the dinner is at 12.00- 14.00).I don’t agree with them. In movies I see that lunch happens at 12.00-14.00.
I will not go to sleep yet. Because every night I watch Hollywood movies. Some movies are very good. Especially I like retro movies. But some new movies are not bad. For instance,recently I watched “The Moonrise kingdom” and “Spider-man 2”. I liked those movies. And also I like movies with Bill Murray.
So thank you Adam for attention.
If it is not too hard for you, mark my mistakes.(But not grammar mistakes)I mean I want to speak like native speakers.
So goodbye!(it took me 10 minutes)
Thank you.

KATRIN777

Hi Katrin,

I’ll just point out a couple of things:

1- we wait in line for out turn

2- dinner is usually 5-7, lunch is 12-2, supper is after 9p.m.

There are some grammar mistakes, but you don’t want me to point those out ;)

You write very well. It is clear what you are trying to say.

Adam

Saying grammar I mean the spelling. Of course,Adam, if you will mark mistakes,I will be glad. But I really want to speak very well, so people thought I was born in Canada or US. Thank you.

KATRIN777

…and it’s Christmas time again!
I’d really like to thank you for all your lessons, your dedication to your profession, the
caring that we feel in everything you do.

Besides your great capacity and deep knowledge of the English language, I admire you specially for one side of your
personality. You are a humble person. I think
that’s paramount to get to students’s hearts.
I’d like to quote the unforgettable Nelson
Mandela.
“When you talk to a man in a languge he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk
to a man in his language that goes to his heart.”

So English is and I think it will always be a universal language.

So,Merry Christmas,Adam. And I wonderful New
Year.

Sonia1234

Thank you Sonia. That’s a great quote.

I wish you a very merry Christmas and a great new year as well. :)

Adam

Happy holidays everyone :)

Adam

Happy holidays Adam and everyone :)

By the way, I have a question about “Season’s greetings”. Is it the same meaning (more or less formal?).

annie974

Hi Annie,

It’s more inclusive, meaning you can say it to anyone without offending them (politically correct) :)

Adam

Hy Adam) first of all i want to express my gratitude to you) thanks for the videos. They are really interesting and useful. But i want to ask some questions. You know, when i listen to video i can understand it but i can’t understand it quickly. When someone speaks English fast, i can’t understand all of his words. When i try to speak English, first i think then i say. But, for example i know russian language perfectly and i can speak without thinking. What do you think about it? And what should i do to understand English fully, without any difficulties?
I am sorry if i had mistakes in my message) And thanks in advance

Elay870

Hi Elay,

To be honest, it’s just practice and time. You can try listening to more native speakers and follow with transcripts. Check out ted.com. Lots of practice there :)

Adam

It is very informative lesson. Thank you Adam )

mandrykden

you’re a great teacher mr.adam you’re the best & your explaining is very very good and you’re funny keep on -go ahead :)

lina-a

Hi again, Adam!

I’d like to tell you about my journey to the sea Lasarevskoye. It was seven years ago. We went to the sea with my Mum. It was very beautiful and I took a lot of pictures. The weather was very good. We swam for a long time. The sea was so warm that my Mum couldn’t take me out from the water. It was very funny. In the evening(or in the evenings)we went to a water park and Dolphinarium. I liked it very much. We ate a lot of fruit every day. One day we went to the mountains. There we visited waterfall. It was very interesting. I liked to have a rest like this.

Adam,check it,please. Thank you.

KATRIN777

After watching this video I’ve been nervous!
How tough situation it would be :(

ashisl

Respect! Very important video. You know … some custom’s persons are very funny and glad to speak. In 2007 I went to Alaska from Moscow-Paris-NY-Seatle. And my custom’s person in NY asked me about my back way and he supposed it’s easy to sail by canoe from Akaska to Russia through Bering Strait:))

Tampa86

Ha! Several years ago a politician from Alaska said that she could see Russia from her house, which is a big exaggeration. The Bering Strait is about 90km wide and there are islands right in the middle. It’s still a very long canoe trip, so if you decide to paddle to Alaska, try doing it in the summer when the sun doesn’t set!

Thanks very much for Adam’s lesson about US customs. I have one little question about this lesson:

There is a sentence pair:
“How long will you be staying in the U.S.? Again, never say: “I don’t know.””
“You do know. You have a return ticket out.”

What does ‘out’ means in the last sentence? I have read many dictionaries, but still can’t find the meaning of it. Could anyone please teach me about this usage? Thank you very much.

Hi Adam. I have waited your lessons because they are very interesting and informative. Could you please make a lesson about tips and questions for study visa in the U.S? Thank you very much!

Good video Adam, thanks!
I remembered, when I visited first time to US, during custom check, the officer asked me: “Are you nervous?”, and instead “No, I’m calm” I answered “No, I’m claim”. Because I was really nervous and confused these words “calm” and “claim”.
P.S. Sorry for my English :)

Yes,No,I don’t know , I’m sorry ,I didn’t catch that ..! I chose I’m sorry I didn’t catch that ．nd d right answer is I don’t know ..! I was lol to my self nd i say XO bella ……I was visited in USA a few years ago I don’t have problem to the customs one of customs walks around called me nd my son to the leftside line we’re just few persons just show up our passport piano finger stand a few seconds infront of camera system finished no question very quick absolutely if you writes your documents completely i guess no more additional question ．some of questions of this quiz remind my Canadian me my Canadian friend who invites me to visit in Toronto i would love nd I’m very interested to see your beaudiful country Toronto Canada he wrote offered me I can stay to he’s place as long as I want to stay he is very kind but I’m really scared to go alone wish i can find someone to go with me someday nor i’ll wait to my son when he finish he’s University study nd while i’m waiting i will study hard to your lessons to improved my English speaking , comprehension and many more i’m so glad i find a great English teacher in this site can’t get enough to thanks prof Adam to your excellence education lesson i’m lovin it ．Thank you

Hi Adam,Happy New year, hope you are doing well.I watched many of your lesson on EngVid and I appreciate your style of teaching. Top of this I like this lesson sort of informative and guidance in order to know how to face custom officer at U.S. or any airport.It may happen at any airport and it’s good for own security.It suppose to check in advance on websites which things are allowed to bring or not to that specific country you are visiting.

Shkruallah175@gmail.com

I believe before collecting your bags and entering the customs area you should clear the immigration.
Keep in mind folks, customs and immigration are different things and they gonna ask you different questions.

Hi Adam. I entered USA borders many times, on vacation,and the custom officers were never rude. One time, I entered Canada border by the pedestrian bridge over Niagara Falls, (only to have dinner) and the young, beautiful female officer asked us a zillion questions; she wasn’t rude, but sure made us very very nervous.
