Story5 out of 5 stars 25
Do you get frustrated when you're on vacation and you can't make yourself understood? Or maybe you'd like to be appreciated by the locals and your family for making an effort? Maybe you don't want to come across as that guy who thinks everyone should speak English? I was that guy once. We went on vacation to Costa Rica, and in the more remote places we went, not a single person spoke English. I ended up miming things to bemused locals, or saying English words really slowly, and I felt really dumb. By the end of the trip, I vowed I wouldn't put myself in that situation again.

I started my backpacking days in my late 20s and have not stopped since. I still feel there are so many new places to discover, people to meet, new food to try. When I was a newbie traveler, I made many mistakes, forgot to take essential items, and just made some bad choices. Over the years, through experience and learning from others, I have learned what you need to do to travel as safely as possible, what essential items to take, how to take care of your health, and how to make the most of your trip.

If you're traveling to a Spanish speaking country but don't know how to express yourself in their language, then keep reading.... Many Spanish speaking people can't or are not willing to speak English. This causes a problem for foreign travelers who want to communicate and be understood by the native population. How many of these travelers miss out on remarkable experiences…without even realizing? Could you be one of them? You see, most travelers make the same mistakes - they aren't aware of any Spanish phrases.

Possibly the most feared challenge to learning Spanish is the challenge of memory; there are just too many words and too many rules to remember. For every new word we learn, we seem to forget two old ones, and as a result, fluency can seem out of reach. According to Professor Elfrieda H. Hieber from the University of California, Berkeley, the 100 most frequent words account for about 50 percent of the words in a typical text and the 1000 most frequent words for about 70 percent.

Hi friends, my name is Glenda, and teaching foreign languages is my passion! There are a lot of different ways to learn a language—studying books, taking a class, or even watching foreign movies. But I’m an auditory learner. I have to hear and repeat the language to make it stick. In fact, when I was a teenager taking Italian classes, I would often make my own (cassette) recordings and study for my tests by listening to them.

Have you ever had that deep desire to learn another language? Have you ever wanted to travel the globe, see amazing sights, and experience a new country like a local? Germany is an amazing place. Full of snowcapped maintains, untouched landscapes, historically significant cities, and some of the best food on the planet. But Germany is not an English-speaking country - which means, very simply, if you want to see everything that this wonderland has to offer, then you need to learn the language. Or at least learn enough of it to talk with the locals.

Spanish is more popular than ever before. Maybe because of the undeniable sex appeal of Latino legends such as Shakira and Pablo Alborán. Maybe because there are 21 Spanish speaking countries you might not want to miss out on. Charles the Fifth already once said if he were to speak to God, he would speak in the Spanish tongue. Whatever motivates you to learn the language of God, I promise you won't regret it.

Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he's dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he's started to wonder if he's wanted the wrong things.

She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides.

Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

New Hampshire features Frost's meditations on rural life, love, and death, delivered in the voice of a soft-spoken New Englander. Critics have long marveled at the poet's gift for capturing the speech of the region's natives and his realistic evocations of the area's landscapes. This compilation, first published in 1923, earned Frost the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes and includes several of his best-known poems: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Nothing Gold Can Stay", and "Fire and Ice".
