Go take a hike! Posted by on Sep 3, 2013 in Culture, English Vocabulary

“Go take a hike” is an expression in English that when said to another person means “get out of here” or “go away and don’t come back.” If you say ‘I am going to take a hike’ that does not mean the same thing. This just means you are going to go for a walk in the wilderness. So, I won’t tell you to go take a hike, but I will invite you to watch the video below about vocabulary related to hiking.  If you are looking for an adventurous trek to go on you might want to check out my post from earlier this year ‘Hiking, backpacking, trekking, and tramping.

About the Author: Gabriele

Hi there! I am one of Transparent Language's ESL bloggers. I am a 32-year-old native English speaker who was born and raised in the United States. I am living in Washington, DC now, but I have lived all over the US and also spent many years living and working abroad. I started teaching English as a second language in 2005 after completing a Master's in Applied Linguists and a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults' (CELTA). Since that time I have taught ESL in the United States at the community college and university level. I have also gone on to pursue my doctorate in psychology and now I also teach courses in psychology. I like to stay connected to ESL learners around the world through Transparent Languages ESL Blog. Please ask questions and leave comments on the blog and I will be sure to answer them.
