सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Gap Year' is a huge cultural phenomenon where students go abroad for a year before university. It's seen as a way to gain maturity. Because the US is so large, many Americans travel domestically. Going abroad is often seen as a significant 'international' milestone requiring a passport, which many Americans only get later in life. Australians often use the term 'overseas' more than 'abroad' because they are on a massive island. 'Going overseas' often involves very long flights. Going abroad to study (出国留学 - chūguó liúxué) is highly prestigious and seen as a major investment by families in their children's future.
The 'To' Trap
Never say 'go to abroad'. It is the most common mistake for English learners. Just say 'go abroad'.
Use with 'Ever'
When asking about someone's life, 'Have you ever been abroad?' is slightly more common in the UK than 'Have you ever gone abroad?'
