My Secret Weapon to Quickly Learn a New Language
Native English speakers like you and me have it pretty easy when we travel.
In most countries, the locals speak enough English to help us get around. But what happens if you come across someone that doesn’t speak English, or go to a country where English isn’t really spoken? Suddenly, simple things like getting directions, ordering a meal, or paying for shopping can get pretty difficult.
I’ve deferred visiting a few countries on my bucket list simply because the language barrier is too high. Learning a new language involves finding a good teacher, attending regular classes, practicing for hours, and usually paying an astronomical fee. But now that I’ve found Pimsleur’s language learning method, I have no more excuses. Speaking a new language (or two) just became super easy and affordable.
