My Accidental Week on a Naturist Island 😱 | Intermediate English Listening Practice [B1/B2]
Description
Imagine arriving on a quiet Mediterranean island… only to realise that everyone around you is naked. That was my experience when I finally agreed to join a university friend on a naturist island in France.
In this episode of English and Beyond: Intermediate Edition, I share:
- My awkward first moments on the island
- The surprising rules (sarongs in the streets if you want, but nudity required on the beaches and hiking trails)
- The surreal details, like ordering bread at the boulangerie from a topless waitress
- A short history of naturism in France and Germany, and how it never really caught on in the UK
- What I learned from speaking to other visitors - including one man who overcame body-image fears and found freedom in naturism
- And why it took me a whole week to truly relax
This is NOT a story about scandal. It’s a cultural exploration of naturism as a lifestyle, told from the perspective of someone who remains very much happier with clothes on.
Perfect for English learners:
- Clear, natural British English
- Engaging storytelling with real vocabulary in context
