British stations are noisy, announcements are fast, and plans change at the last minute. Learners often catch every word of a textbook dialogue but miss "the eleven fourteen is now departing from platform six". Many also translate directly and ask "One ticket going and coming, please" instead of "A return, please", or "Where is the way of the beach?" instead of "Is this the right way to the beach?".
