In just a few hours we are heading to Vancouver to make English lesson videos at the 2010 Winter Olympics. In honor of our departure, take a look at our Olympic preview lesson on “go for the gold.” We are seriously aiming high. There should be some major adventures on this trip. Get ready to be surprised over the next two weeks.

It’s not often you get to go to the Olympics by car. Driving to the Olympics is going to be really fun! We’re lucky to have them so close to us, just a half-day’s drive away.

Here’s a little English lesson. When you’re getting ready to travel somewhere, you can announce the place you’re going and say “or bust” afterward. This means, “We’re going to get there no matter what!” or “We’ll get there or die trying!” Sometimes in the US you’ll see cars with things like “Las Vegas or Bust!” written on the windows. You know the people inside are on a fun road trip if you see that.

But after watching our Olympic preview video, you’ll know Jason isn’t joking around when he says “Vancouver or bust!” He has a serious mission up there. Wish him luck, and get ready to learn a lot of English on the journey!
